How would I do a loop while selenium connects to a webpage?

Question

I am trying to make it do a loop while connecting to a webpage via selenium. Here is the code:

from sys.stdout import flush
from sys import argv
from selenium import webdriver
def loading():
    print("Loading.\r")
    flush()
    print("Loading..\r")
    flush()
    print("Loading...\r")
    flush()
driver = mydriverslocation
website = argv[1]
driver.get(website)
# Do loading() while connecting to website

So how would I call loading() while also connecting to website?

Best thing to do here is parallelism. I know one way, but there may be more efficient ways to do this.

import threading
from sys.stdout import flush
from sys import argv
from selenium import webdriver

website_loaded = False

def loading():
    while not website_loaded:
        print("Loading.\r")
        flush()
        print("Loading..\r")
        flush()
        print("Loading...\r")
        flush()

driver = mydriverslocation
website = argv[1]

# Start the loading thread
# Expected method to run, and arguments.
loading_thread = threading.Thread(loading, ())
loading_thread.start()

driver.get(website)
# And any other code while loading

# This will pass to the thread
website_loaded = True
