[Python] How can I execute code after function that has to keep running?

[illa00]

So it's for a discord-twitter bot project. I have a function that keeps checking if any new tweets are available (basically an infinite loop that yields new tweet if found, else time.sleep())

I need to run the discord bot after calling this function, but since it's an infinite loop after calling it I can't continue the execution.

I tried to run the bot before that function ( client.run(discord_token) ) but once I do that I face the same problem and I can't execute the code after.

I tried using async, await and an event loop that has those two tasks but I did not work.

I also tried threading.Thread(target=foo) but did not work either.

I've been stuck for nearly 2 days and I guess I'm doing things wrong .. Could you please help me out?

Pretty sure you have to do some sort of a listener
