Exactly what it says, I was wondering if there was an easy way/documented way to access spotdl from inside my python script (i want to await the end of the download before moving on, and popen doesnt let me await)

Hey, sorry to reopen this, but I am now having event loop issues,

 File "D:\src\.venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\commands.py", line 858, in _do_call
    return await self._callback(interaction, **params)  # type: ignore
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "D:\src\cmds.py", line 324, in create_playlist
    to_get = await utils.spot.get_playlist(sp_id)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "D:\src\handlers\spot.py", line 59, in get_playlist
    self.downloader.download_multiple_songs(songs)
  File "D:\src\.venv\Lib\site-packages\spotdl\download\downloader.py", line 292, in download_multiple_songs
    results = list(self.loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.gather(*tasks)))
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\Server\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.12.4\Lib\asyncio\base_events.py", line 663, in run_until_complete
    self._check_running()
  File "C:\Users\Server\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.12.4\Lib\asyncio\base_events.py", line 622, in _check_running
    raise RuntimeError('This event loop is already running')
RuntimeError: This event loop is already running

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\src\.venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\tree.py", line 1310, in _call
    await command._invoke_with_namespace(interaction, namespace)
  File "D:\src\.venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\commands.py", line 883, in _invoke_with_namespace
    return await self._do_call(interaction, transformed_values)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "D:\src\.venv\Lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\commands.py", line 876, in _do_call
    raise CommandInvokeError(self, e) from e
discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'create_plex_playlist' raised an exception: RuntimeError: This event loop is already running
#

here is the code

self.downloader = Downloader(self.settings, asyncio.get_running_loop())
#

i also tried

self.downloader = Downloader(self.settings, asyncio.get_event_loop())

self.downloader = Downloader(self.settings, asyncio.new_event_loop())

            self.downloader = Downloader(self.settings, asyncio.get_running_loop())
        except RuntimeError:
            self.downloader = "n"

I do a try except inorder to see if the loop is running if its not running yet, i hold off and then use this code to set it after i KNOW the loop is running

if self.downloader == "n":
  self.downloader = Downloader(self.settings, asyncio.get_event_loop())
