I am following a tutorial using sublime text that uses python and the tutorial had me define 2 functions into strings but they want be printed out together can anyone help me please? Im sorry for asking such a basic question but im very new to this and this is one of my bigger projects im doing first.

def joinchat():
        Loading = True
        while Loading:
            readbuffer_join = irc.recv(1024)
            readbuffer_join = readbuffer_join.decode()
            for line in readbuffer_join.split("n")[0:-1]:
                print(line)
                Loading = loadingComplete(line)
def loadingComplete(line):
        if ("End of /NAMES list" in line):
            print("Bot has joined " + CHANNEL + " Channel")
            sendMessage(irc, "yo")
            return False
        else:
                return True
def sendMessage(irc, message): 
    messageTemp = "PRIVMSG #" + CHANNEL  + " "  + message
    irc.send((messageTemp + "n").encode())
def getUser(line):
    separate = line.split(":", 2)
    user = separate[1].split("!" , 1)[0]
    return user 
def getMessage(line):
    try:
        message = (line.split(":",2))[2]
    except:
        message = ""
        return message
def console(line):
    if "PRIVMSG" in line:
        return False
    else:
        return True

joinchat()

while  True:
        try:
            readbuffer = irc.recv(1024).decode()
        except:
            readbuffer = ""
        for line in readbuffer.split("rn"):
            if line == "":
                continue
            else:
                print(line)
                user = getUser(line)
                message = getMessage(line)
                print(getUser(line)  + getMessage(line))
            if "PING" in line and Console(line):
                msgg = "PONG tmi.twitch.tvrn".encode()
                irc.send(msgg)
                print(msgg)
                continue
                        

I thought this was something simple but I can’t figure out why this won’t work I remember doing this before but I can’t figure out why they can’t be used in the same line also I was following a tutorial that did the code like this and it worked without issues. any help is appreciated!
