Description

In testcontainers-java, the stdout and stderr of the container are streamed to slf4j, making it easy to follow up on the logs of the containers as the test progresses. It's really useful when container takes time to start (waiting for the condition).

I think it's beneficial to have same feature in testcontainers python

Research direction

Start by tracing how testcontainers-python starts containers and currently exposes container output, then compare the requested behavior with the testcontainers-java approach. Done means stdout and stderr are forwarded through Python's logging module while a container runs, including during startup waits, with tests covering the new behavior.
