Web3py - calling smart contract functions in threads?

Question

I'm programming a bot in Python / Web3 that has to do multiple smart contract functions at the same time. However I've not had any success with it so I thought I'd ask over here.

I made some code below (not my actual program but if I can get this working I'm happy) - my objective is to successfully call the WETH() function in multiple threads.

import traceback
import datetime
import time
import threading

web3 = Web3(Web3.WebsocketProvider('wss://speedy-nodes-nyc.moralis.io/5f1aac1199e5a69928c643f3/bsc/mainnet/ws'))

abi =

for i in range(0, 3):
    newThread = threading.Thread(target=multiThreadingTest, args=(i, ))
    newThread.start() 

This code just gives me

"RuntimeError: cannot call recv while another coroutine is already waiting for the next message".

Any idea how to get this working?

Each thread needs its own web3 connection.

Create web3 instance after a thread has been launched.
