title: Is there a way to know the status of panda `to_csv` for very long databases?
body: <p>In Pandas I have a very large dataframe which I am trying to write to a CSV file. It is taking a very long time ( a couple hours and not finished) and I am wondering if there's any way to check the % finished in this command. </p>
  
  <p>I looked up all the arguments in <code>to_csv</code> and there doesn't seem to be anything to help</p>

  <p><code>pd.to_csv('thefile.csv', chunksize =1000 )</code></p>
  
  <p>I would like any time of status, chunk number, etc.</p>
