How to not wait for the python line to fully complete and jump to next line

For Example:

def abc():
    for I in range(1,10000000000):
        print(I)

def def():
    for I in range(1,1000000000000):
        print(I)

abc()
def()

How to let the abc() keep running and not to wait abc() to complete and jump to def()

You can use threads to perform this:

from threading import Thread

def abc():
    for I in range(1,10000000000): print(I)

def other():
    for I in range(1,10000000000): print(I)

abc_thread = Thread(target=abc)
abc_thread.start() 
# This starts the abc() function and then immediately 
# continues to the next line of code. This is possible because the 
# function is executed on another thread separate from the main program's thread
other()

Also as a side note, I am not sure what your implementation of this will be but because you are new, I have to point out that it is bad practice to name your functions, classes, variables, etc. to the same name as a builtin python object. This will cause headaches later on when you will run into errors.
