Description

I'm not sure if it's an issue.

I try to stream container logs using the docker-py client.
I noticed I have no logs when my container is started without -t.

logs = container.logs(stream=True, follow=True, stdout=True, stderr=False, tail=0)

Even if I can show them using this command docker logs -f <container>

Research direction

Start with the container.logs(stream=True, follow=True, stdout=True, stderr=False, tail=0) entry point and reproduce the behavior for a container started without -t. Compare its streamed output with docker logs -f and inspect the Docker Engine API log-stream behavior; done means the client streams the expected logs or documents a confirmed API limitation.
