"Connecting to cluster" message appeared after it was connected

[edaena]

On the demo, it was taking time to connect to the cluster, there was no indication of what the tool was doing.

Expected:
Before the cluster connection starts, display the "Connecting to cluster" message

Seen:
The "Connecting to cluster message" showed up after several seconds and right after the "Connected!" message showed up

Yes, this is an interesting circumstance. The code looks like this:
print("Connecting to cluster...")
my_cluster = Cluster(args.kubeconfig)
my_cluster.connect_to_cluster()
print("Connected!")

So it should print "Connecting to cluster..." essentially right away. There appears to be startup time between execution and printing to the terminal.

I followed the steps that the above article provides, removing pkg_resources from my imports. This sped up the execution time significantly. Unfortunately I'm not certain how to reflect this change in the repository.
