How to fix?

Run commands with time .sleep as a new threading.Thread

Changelog: Added precise fix possibility

Anticipated fix couldn't solve the problem. time.wait() does not exist. Searching for other solution.

asyncio?

Use await asyncio.sleep() and threading. Start a new thread and sleep there.

That is my solution as well, look at "How to fix this?".

joseywoermann commented 3 years ago

Not directly. await asyncio.sleep() is better in asynchronous programming than time.sleep()

Why? But it works in both cases, so I probably wont change it.

You don't need threading when using await asyncio.sleep(), since when another command is called during the sleeping-time, the sleep()-function will pause until the other command has finished.
