Trying to write values to serial port in python and read them from arduino simultaneoulsy

I want to send some constantly changing values from my Python code in Visual studio to my arduino IDE (mac user by the way). I want the arduino code to read the values as they are being sent, instead of having to run the code in python, close the window, and then open up the arduino IDE after.

Essentially, I want Visual Studio to write to the serial port whilst Arduino is reading from it.

At the moment, the python side is working fully- I'm using pyserial and when I ask my python code to read me the values it has written to the serial port, it works. However, when I try to open up the arduino IDE and run the code, it says 'port busy'. I can't run the python code if the arduino IDE is open either, it returns the same sort of error message.

Does anyone know how I can solve this? Thanks

Python code:

import serial #arduinostuff
import time
arduino = serial.Serial(port='/dev/cu.usbmodem14101', baudrate=115200, timeout=.1)

def write_read(x):
    arduino.write(bytes(str(x), 'utf-8'))
    time.sleep(0.05)
    data = arduino.readline()
    return data

Arduino code:

int x;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial.setTimeout(1);
}

void loop() {
    if(Serial.available() > 0) {
        char data = Serial.read();
        char str[2];
        str[0] = data;
        str[1] = '\0';
        Serial.print(str);
    }
}

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
