[question] Keeping async listener connection active? about mastodon.py HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi, if you pass run_async, the call will return (almost) immediately, and start a thread in the background, but if your main thread quits (which it will, because your main function is done), that thread also gets killed. If you want it to run indefinitely, you could have your main thread do something like while True: time.sleep(1000). Alternatively, just don't pass run_async (in that case, you'd have to handle reconnects yourself, though (catch exceptions around the call to stream_user)
