Export file asynchronously

I am trying to save a song edited using pydub in an await expression (because it's a Discord bot) but it always blocks the gateway and stops the bot from sending anything.

I tried

await song.export("audios/"+filename+".ogg", format="ogg")

but it gives me

TypeError: object _io.BufferedRandom can't be used in 'await' expression
Solution

  • Try this:

    import asyncio
def SongExport(Arg1,Arg2):#example
    song.export("audios/"+filename+".ogg", format="ogg")
    return 1#example
@bot.tree.command(name="exportSong")
def exportSong(interaction: discord.Interaction)
blocking_coro = asyncio.to_thread(SongExport, Arg1, Arg2)
result = await blocking_coro

    Let me know how it goes!
