I pulled this code from a github repo https://github.com/Sqble/Telegram-To-Discord-Bot-Fixed/blob/master/forwardgram.py and am running into a couple errors on the loop.
from telethon import TelegramClient, events

message = []
with open('config.yml', 'rb') as f:
config = yaml.safe_load(f)

The above returns this error and I cant figure out why. C:\Discord Bot\Telegram-To-Discord-Bot-Fixed-master>python forwardgram.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Discord Bot\Telegram-To-Discord-Bot-Fixed-master\forwardgram.py", line 62, in discord_client.loop.create_task(background_task()) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\Python312\Lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 145, in getattr raise AttributeError(msg) AttributeError: loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts. Consider using either an asynchronous main function and passing it to asyncio.run or using asynchronous initialisation hooks such as Client.setup_hook
Running a synchronous function that blocks the loop (run_until_disconnected()) is always problematic. I recommend you adopt a strategy using loop.run_in_executor(), where you will run your telegram bot in a separate thread. Try this:
# run tg bot
@discord_client.event
async def on_ready():
loop = discord_client.loop
await loop.run_in_executor(None, client.run_until_disconnected)
# run discord bot
discord_client.run(config["discord_bot_token"])
