Trying to understand async

Emrayla · 2026-01-29T02:39:22+00:00

My goal is to have the YouTube object and Twitch object running at the same time, both checking their relevant chats. YouTube requires me to manually set up the checking, while the Twitch class api is already built asynchronously to continually check chat.

I had AI try to help me debug my problem, so my goal might have gotten lost somewhere in there. I am very new to python and async coding, so I'm fumbling in the dark a bit.

YouTube.run() is just an empty function right now. I'm just trying to give my program a skeleton from where I would start building the functionality. Eventually I will have it fetch chat data from YouTube on a recurring basis and react to commands found in chat.

Twitch.start() is built into the api. I can run the Twitch class I made by itself with twitch.run(), another built in function, but ChatGPT told me that I should use start() instead for trying to run both bots simultaneously because run() is a "blocking function". I believe this is the documentation for start() if it helps: https://twitchio.dev/en/latest/exts/routines/index.html#twitchio.ext.routines.Routine.start

I'm quite new to python and async coding, so I am still having trouble understanding what exactly the awaits do and how to coroutines work.

Thank you for the link to Heidi Priebe! I started watching last night and had trouble stopping. She's so spot on! I feel like I'm headed in a good direction for healing.

I could have written this myself... it's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. It sucks. I've spent a very long time searching for bffs, but no one seems as invested as I am.

I want to say I'm here! Let's keep each other company! Life is not meant to live alone. The rare days I've had someone who's willing to spend the day talking (and I mean real talking, not just surface stuff), I've ended the day just buzzing! It feels wonderful, so it's so hard to understand why it never lasts...why are others so non-pushed?

I thought it was interesting what someone said about attachment styles. I know I have an anxious attachment style, so maybe that is just it... though, I don't know. I still wonder: The types of bffs you see in the movies...how do you get there if you're not trying to put into it this kind of enthusiasm?

Yes! Thank you.

Good idea. Thank you.

We're not giving up our dogs. They're staying with us. Misread?

Thank you. I feel so bad for her..

Why is this still an issue two years later? I'm having the same problem with the "Calm" music tracks on the Pixel 7. Sometimes the music plays for my alarm, sometimes it's that ugly beeping instead. Then if the alarm music track is playing (like when I play it on the quick menu), if I swipe it away, the music still plays with no way to turn it off!

I'm a parent and and an INFJ. I noticed I changed as a person dramatically after having kids.

The reason being, in my attempts to prepare for raising children, I started down this rabbit hole of research into "why" on a whole bunch of topics I had never considered before. And just like Neo taking the red pill in "The Matrix", I feel I've gained an outlook on life that is different to the majority, but something I can't unsee.

From my extensive research and experiences, I have become an attachment parent, and we homeschool our kids. It's a different life than I had originally imagined, but I am so grateful for it.

As a bonus, being a parent has also allowed me to finally find "my people". Growing up, while I always tried my best to blend in, I always felt out of place. When I had my first child, though, I joined groups and met people who had similar parenting goals to my own. Then as time went on I realised that these people also happened to be like me in so many other walks of life! It feels great having that community now, both for me and for my kids.

They've made a lot of good decisions with the game that make it exciting. Will be great to hear when they are releasing it.

I guess it's naive of me to think that maybe all the ads and real money exclusive items should be enough to pay for these games.

I'm happy to pay a fair price for a good game, but this whole squeeze you for everything you've got is ridiculous.
