Websockets: Infinite loop in main thread

batbark

hello,
In the below code what does it mean by "Infinite loop on the main thread. Nothing after this will run"

I want to write the data to mysql table every 10 seconds, so I am trying to put a timer inside,
I want to know what part of the code is in infinite loop?

from kiteconnect import WebSocket

# Initialise.
kws = WebSocket("your_api_key", "your_public_token", "logged_in_user_id")

# Callback for tick reception.
def on_tick(tick, ws):
	print tick

# Callback for successful connection.
def on_connect(ws):
	# Subscribe to a list of instrument_tokens (RELIANCE and ACC here).
	ws.subscribe([738561, 5633])

	# Set RELIANCE to tick in `full` mode.
	ws.set_mode(ws.MODE_FULL, [738561])

# Assign the callbacks.
kws.on_tick = on_tick
kws.on_connect = on_connect

kws.enable_reconnect(reconnect_interval=5, reconnect_tries=50)

# Infinite loop on the main thread. Nothing after this will run.
# You have to use the pre-defined callbacks to manage subscriptions.
kws.connect()

@batbark The main script run in an infinite loop. you have to do your calculations and ingesting to database etc
using the mentioned callbacks (on_tick).
So the ontick definition will handle that part
