Research direction

Start with the Python library's exec_run entry point and the Docker Engine API behavior for streamed exec output. Reproduce the generator case described in the issue and inspect how completion is exposed, if at all. Done should be a clear, documented answer with a reproducible way to determine that the exec_run has finished.
