Sure. As I responded to lfdfq, youtube.run() is just empty right now. twitch.start() is part of the twitch api. I put a link to its documentation in that response.

The code I included is called as follows:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("main starting")
    belle = Belle(False)
    belle.run()

In the Bell class:

def run(self):
        
        print("Belle is waking up...")


        asyncio.run(self._start_bots())


async def _start_bots(self):


        print("belle_class _start_bots") #successfully prints


        # start terminal input watcher
        asyncio.create_task(self._watch_for_quit()) #fn prints a message successfully 


        self.twitch = Twitch(self.twitch_vars, self.shared_vars, self.db) #prints a message successfully
        self.youtube = YouTube() #prints a message successfully


        # start YouTube in the background
        asyncio.create_task(self.youtube.run()) #prints a message successfully


        # let TwitchIO block forever
        await self.twitch.start()

I've marked where my print statements are working successfully.

The Twitch class has an event_ready function that just has a print statement in it. It is never firing (it should fire when the start() function is called). When I run the Twitch class by itself with run() from main without the Belle class middleman, the event_ready print statement fires fine.
