Python IRC using sockets

[vite]

I got some free time in my hands and have decided to relearn python.
Though I'd start with a basic IRC client (already done bots).
Wanted to make it so that it ran only on native python modules.

My question is, how do I keep an input promped to type irc commands and chats displaying on the screen (cli)
while reading the stream from the irc chat?

edit: using sockets module
