How can I get `pip install`'s download progress?

Using pip install on some large package doesn't show any progress report while downloading.

Using the -v, --verbose option doesn't do it and there doesn't seem to be any other relevant option.

At least pip9 has -v option which prints debug msg during installation of the package.

pip --version
pip 9.0.1

Help:

pip install --help .. .. -v, --verbose Give more output. Option is additive, and can be used up to 3 times.

Usage:

pip install -r requirements.txt -vvv
