http server loop while running LED scrolling loop

[manwichmakesameal]

So I'm pretty new to Python/micropython and am having an issue. I'm trying to take the string from my http request and have it printed to my LED screen. I want the http server to keep running but I also want the screen to keep scrolling my text. My current code is only running the LED screen once. Any help is appreciated.

signage = ""
print("after signage set")
def wwwsvr():
    cl, addr = s.accept()
    print('client connected from', addr)
    request = cl.recv(1024)
    print("request:")
    print(request)
    request = str(request)
    start = '='
    stop = 'HTTP'
    global signage
    signage = str(request[request.find(start)+1 : request.find(stop)-1])
    response = html
    cl.send(resp)
    cl.send(response)
    cl.close()
    print("Inside wwwsvr")
    print(signage)
    return str(signage)


def ledmsg(mytext):
    #global signage
    #Get the message length
    length = len(mytext)

    #Calculate number of columns of the message
    column = (length * 8)

    #Clear the display.
    display.fill(0)
    display.show()

    #sleep for one one seconds
    time.sleep(1)
    for x in range(32, -column, -1):     
        #Clear the display
        display.fill(0)
            
        # Write the scrolling text in to frame buffer
        display.text(str(mytext.replace('+', " ")) ,x,0,1)
        
        #Show the display
        display.show()
      
        #Set the Scrolling speed. Here it is 50mS.
        time.sleep(0.05)
    print("inside ledmsg")
    print(signage)

while True:
    try:
        wwwsvr()
        ledmsg(signage)
    except OSError as e:
        cl.close()
        print('connection closed')
print("outside functions")

Well, to answer myself: it's threading dummy. Use threading to fix this.
