Description
Probably a basic question, but is it possible to have the output of exec_run hitting stdout in real time? For example, if I do: x = container.exec_run(cmd = "find / -type f") I can get the output after the command finishes with: print(x.output.decode('utf-8')), but is it possible to have it output in real time instead?

Research direction
Start with the exec_run API entry point and its handling of command output. Check whether the current interface exposes output incrementally while find is still running. Done means establishing or adding a documented way to receive stdout in real time, with an example based on the command shown.
