This is the error I got when I run "application.py" file @BugzTheBunny

Hi @mudassar111 sorry for the late response,

You are saying that when trying to run the code as it is in this repo, this is the Error that you are getting? If so, can you try to rerun it with a different python version? 3.8 for example? because it's really odd, I tried to rerun it, and everything works fine, even with the newest Streamlit version..

Brother I am getting the same error @BugzTheBunny

Hey @mudassar111,

It appears the problem is not related to the code, you should read this thread - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54749342/valueerror-signal-only-works-in-main-thread

Encountered the same issue here.

$ streamlit run application.py                                                           

  You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.

hey any updates on fixing this error.

Hello @thestonedape , (Trying to help)

That is not in the same context but I hope it can give you some insights. 👍

I came across a similar issue in my application when using (flask_socketio) and it was solved by disabling the debug mode.

Reason: When you run in Debug, the reloader expects to run in the main thread.

web_socket = Thread(target=socketio.run, args=(app,), kwargs={'host':'0.0.0.0', 'port': , 'debug':False, use_reloader':False})
