boto3 waiter for ECS ServicesStable

Question

I am using boto3 to deploy my ECS services. I have added the boto3 waiter for ECS as:

ecs_client = boto3.client('ecs', config=my_config)
waiter = ecs_client.get_waiter('services_stable')
waiter.wait(
    cluster="myCluster",
    services=["myService"],
    WaiterConfig={
        'Delay': 15,
        'MaxAttempts': 60
    }
)
print("Service is in steady state.")

The above ECS waiter works perfectly, but my ECS service takes about 5 minutes to be in running state and while executing the boto3 script, we had to wait 5 minutes with blank terminal.

Is it possible to print some message in terminal at fixed interval until the waiter is complete?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

A quick review of the waiter code shows no functionality for logging status as you wait to complete. You'll need to create your own code for this functionality.
