- I'm experiencing an issue where my program appears to freeze when executing the `post_comments_to_lemmy` function. This function fetches comments from the GitHub API and posts them to a Lemmy instance. However, it seems that there might be a potential infinite loop within the function that causes the program to hang indefinitely.
- I've noticed that the code includes a check within the `for` loop that skips the iteration if `comment_dict` is an instance of a string (`str`). However, if all the `comment_dict` objects are strings, the loop may continue indefinitely, resulting in the program appearing to freeze.
- I'm looking for guidance on how to fix this issue and prevent the program from freezing.

#1: Initial revision
Fixing Possible Infinite Loop Issue in the `post_comments_to_lemmy` Function
The program seems to have frozen. It may be stuck in an infinite loop. In the `post_comments_to_lemmy` function, the comments fetched from the GitHub API are iterated over in a `for` loop. However, there is a check within the loop that skips the iteration if `comment_dict` is an instance of a string (`str`). If all the `comment_dict` objects are strings, the loop may continue indefinitely, resulting in the program appearing to freeze. How can I fix this issue? For more context [here](https://lemm.ee/post/1094540) is the script. ```python def post_comments_to_lemmy( lemmy: Any, post_id: int, github_repo: str, issue: Issue ) -> None: logging.info( f"Posting comments from issue #{issue.number} to Lemmy post {LEMMY_INSTANCE_URL}/post/{post_id}" ) try: comments_url: str = ( f"{GITHUB_API_BASE}/repos/{github_repo}/issues/{issue.number}/comments" ) comments: list[dict[str, Any]] = fetch_github_data(comments_url) for comment_dict in comments: if isinstance(comment_dict, str): continue comment = Comment(comment_dict, issue.number) post_comment_to_lemmy(lemmy, github_repo, comment, post_id, issue.number) except Exception as e: logging.exception(f"Error posting comments to lemmy post {post_id}\n{e}") raise def fetch_github_data(url): try: headers = {"Accept": "application/vnd.github+json"} response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) response.raise_for_status() time.sleep(DELAY) logging.info(f"Fetched data from {url}") return response.json() except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: logging.exception(f"Error fetching data from {url}\n{e}") raise [INFO]:2023-07-14 10:40:46,748:root [github_lemmy_issue_reposter.py:275 - post_comments_to_lemmy()] Posting comments from issue #1889 to Lemmy post https://lemm.ee/post/1111239 [INFO]:2023-07-14 10:40:48,035:root [github_lemmy_issue_reposter.py:93 - fetch_github_data()] Fetched data from https://api.github.com/repos/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1889/comments ```
