listener and send data as 2 threads

my python application connects to a socketIO server. i need 2 thread. first thread alway listen from server. and second thread alway send data to server every 1 minutes. I'd like to ask how to manage connection
```
def listener():
print ("PIDLISTEN="+str(os.getpid()))
print("Listening..")
socketIO = SocketIO('https://'+hostIO, transports=['xhr-polling', 'websocket'])

while True:
socketIO.wait(seconds=60)

def monitoring():
global token
socketIO = SocketIO('https://'+hostIO, transports=['xhr-polling', 'websocket'])
socketIO.emit('authenticate',{'token':token})

while True:

socketIO.emit('update',{'data':10}})
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(60)

if __name__ == '__main__':
global token,stop_threads

thread1 = threading.Thread(target=listener, args=())
thread1.daemon = True

thread2 = threading.Thread(target=monitoring, args=())
thread2.daemon = True

thread1.start()
thread2.start()

while True:

print("Main program is sleeping.")
time.sleep(5)

```
