[Python] Run loop while writing to paramiko SFTP file is in progress [duplicate]

Question Is there any way to run a while loop (or something similar) that runs while a paramiko.sftp_file.SFTPFile is being written?

Background

I'm writing a script that will transfer large amounts of data to an SFTP server, and I'd like to have some sort of terminal print-out during the long loading time for troubleshooting/debugging. I'm using paramiko for the SFTP connection and file writing

What I currently have it this

remote_zip_file = sftp_client.file(file_name_with_path, "wb")

remote_zip_file.write(my_data)


What I'd like is something like this (pseudo code)

remote_zip_file = sftp_client.file(file_name_with_path, "wb")

while remote_zip_file.write(my_data) == IN_PROGRESS:
time.sleep(1)
print('Some print out that shows that the file writing is in progress')


Is this possible in python, and if so, how could it be done?
