python - How to run the functions periodically while main is waiting for the server close

Question

I have experience in C programming and new to Python. I would like to run fucntion1 and fucntion2 continuously instead of waiting for server to be closed. Right now the below code run the functions once and wait for the server. How to run the functions? Please help

async def main():
    function1()
    function2()
    server = await websockets.serve(
        on_connect,
        '192.168.1.251',
        9000,
        subprotocols=['ocpp1.6'],
        ping_interval = 10,
        ping_timeout = 120
        )
    logging.info("Server Started listening to new connections...")
    await server.wait_closed()

Answer 1

You can run the function 1 and 2 in two separate threads.

from threading import Thread
t1 = Thread(target = function1)
t2 = Thread(target = function2)
t1.setDaemon(True)
t2.setDaemon(True)
t1.start()
<your code to connect to server>
