Hello,

I am training my own `SentencePieceBPETokenizer` tokenizer on java CodeSearchNet dataset. I know `sp_tokenizer.train_from_iterator` does not show the bar progress in Colab. However, I would like to know the progress my tokenizer is doing in the training. So, I have two questions:

1. Do you a work around to print the progress bar in Colab?
2. How long time a tokenizer finish to train aprox.?

Thank you
