Writing a class using discord.py

[ippishio]

@dolfies Hello! I'm trying to write a Midjourney Python API using your library, but i can't figure out how to do non-blocking run of a bot. As I understood, client.start() should do the thing, but it is not. Is it possible at all, or should I use other methods, like running bot in a subprocess. Here is a little snippet of my code:

secret = json.load(open("secret.json"))

class Midjourney(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.queue  = {}
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Logged as "+str(self.user))

    async def on_message(self, message):
        ...
    async def imagine(self, prompt: str, timeout=120):
        ...

async def main():
    client = Midjourney()
    await client.start(secret["ds_user_key"])   #script stops here
    ans = await client.imagine("Fluffy kitties invading the city")
    print(ans)
asyncio.run(main())
