Need a python count down clock that doesn't error when its done

def countdown(t):
    while t > 0:
        print(t)
        t = t-1
        time.sleep(1.0)
        if t == 0:
            print('blast off')

T=20

So this timer works well. It does what it needs, it counts which is what I want. But when it ends it stops my program I'm running it with and does a Timeouterror. Is there a countdown that won't do this or something I can add to it?

You mentioned both that this was a background task, and that this causes a TimeoutError. That's because D.py runs asyncio, and time.sleep is blocking, meaning that it stops all threads running while it processes. What you want is the async-friendly version, await asyncio.sleep(1.0) instead of time.sleep(1.0).
