How to tell if Python Console is running something?

How can I tell visually that the Python console is running something?

 

I've got a file that I'm working in, and to test it it with "Run File in Python Console". And then it opens up, gives me a prompt something is happening, but then it just goes gray and appears frozen until eventually a little interactive prompt comes up. 

 

Is there a setting that I just need to enable to know that the console is executing something? I do get that running message when it's spinning up whatever happens in the background, it seems like there's already infrastructure in place to tell me execution is happening.

Not really. But if you see that console is running (i.e. red stop button is not greyed out) and there's no prompt, the console is running something.

May be a good feature request to include some kind of indicator. You can submit one to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues
