In case this helps anyone else, I figured I'd post some sample code I used to get a progress bar working with Clearsilver (Python back end)

Caveats:
* This includes minimal (if any) error checking
* has only been tested in IE6 and Firefox
* assumes you are uploading to /tmp/uploads and that you have a /tmp/uploads/progress file to track the progress
* due to above assumptions, only works with one upload at a time ;)

The code includes an html form to submit the upload filename, a Python upload script, and a Python script for fetching the progress data. The client-side work is some really simple javascript that will print out a progress bar with a percent complete as the file uploads. There is no page reloading, since the javascript uses XMLHttpRequest to get the progress data.

It's rough around the edges and I don't recommend using it for anything other than a proof of concept or example code, but it illustrates all the major parts of a decent upload with progress indicator. I'm attaching it as a .zip instead of a tar.gz to be nice to any Windows users out there.
