gum spin with python functions

[dsrosen6]

Hi everyone, I am writing a TUI/CLI that will utilize gum- it is python based and I’m using the example from the GitHub page (gum.py) as a template for the function I’m using for gum commands.

In some specific instances, I want to use gum spin but I want the command it runs/waits for to be another python function. But my understanding is I can only run gum spin with another shell based command via subprocess.

Is there something I’m missing, or is there perhaps a workaround I can use to essentially start an “indefinite” spinner that I can start, and then stop, at certain points in my script?
