How to run other things after client.run

[invertedEcho]

Hello,

so i want to do a discord terminal client, but i have the problem that once ive run the client, nothing else gets run.
I do know thats because this is a blocking call, but what should i do now, in order to do other things?
Any help is appreciated.

client.run() is meant to be an easy way out.

In your case, you need to use client.login() and client.connect().

Probably best to run either npyscreen or the client in a thread.

Okay, will look into that. Im really thankful for the help, didnt imagine i would get so much help.

One small last (hopefully) question, how can i send messages, connect to voice channels, etc, outside the main Discord class? So the MyClient class. So lets say there is a input field and a send button, and on pressing the button it would send the message. So i guess im missing the getting ctx part?

@dolfies so what i have right now is that i just create a corresponding function and then call it just like client.funcname() but ofc i need the context so how do i get the context outside of the Class?
Edit:
Is ctx even a thing when im just using the client? Do i maybe have to use commands.Bot? In the example, a message will be sent when someone writes you ping. But i dont want a on_message thing, just a "raw" one.

Nevermind, figured it out. I need to use get_channel and then i can use the method send. No idea why i didnt looked up the methods of the Client Class.
