Description

my v5 wishlist:

  1. typing/py.typed (finally)
  2. oop encapsulate things like waiting and such (finally) (https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/issues/567#issuecomment-2260738619, #660)
  3. how dind works - i think after typing and oop encapsulation this one should be much easier to work on.
  4. all of the Network/with_network things
  5. standardize compose interface? https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/discussions/667

smaller things:

  1. the logger setup as mentioned in https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-python/issues/600#issuecomment-2151451091
  2. module split / generic module (DbContainer, others)
  3. review most function names - lot of unnecessary variety here
