Importing functions causing "asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop"

Question

Since discord.py 2.0 and the addition of "asyncio.run(main())": When loading extensions, my extension file imports functions from the main file which gives the error "asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop" Any ideas on how to fix this, why its happening, or ways to work around it?

Answer 1

You probably want

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

See What does if __name__ == "__main__": do? for some more info.
