what am I doing wrong?

[OwletTheCoder]

So im kind of new to python [ ik most of the basics tho so yeh just answer the question cause im doin this for fun so don't go and tell me to learn python since its more of a side-project ] and im trying to to build this bot to give me a random theme for idea generation.

The problem im getting with it is it saying "the application did not respond"

ORIGINALLY I had actually done this but ran into many problems so I restarted it and rewrote it and NOW ... its not working [ also the original problem I had was it was giving me duplicate choices when appending] so I don't know what is wrong now or I have written something wrong / forgotten something but any type of help would be greatly appreciated!!!

@bot.tree.command(name="idea_satchel", description="Let me help you get an Idea on what to make / draw / study !")
@app_commands.checks.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown_for_everyone_but_me)
@app_commands.describe(theme="Choose 1-3 Theme(s) !")
async def idea_satchel (interaction: discord.Interaction, theme:Literal[1,2,3]):
    listofthemes=["Chizu","Shadow","Lynn","Dorkzy","Chunky","Perry","Manster","Vykie"]
    themeinput=[]
    for i in range(theme):
        if i == theme:
            await themeinput.append(random.sample(listofthemes))
            await interaction.response.send_message(f'{themeinput}', ephemeral=True)

@OwletTheCoder To clarify, you can only send an interaction once, thus causing the issue of "the application did not respond"

[pythonmcpi]

Your code is erroring but your error logging is not set up properly, so you're not seeing the traceback in your terminal.
list.append returns None. You cannot await None in python.

There are also things that appear to be mistakes with your logic, but since you haven't explained what the command is meant to do, I don't know if they're actual mistakes or not. Notably, this exact piece code does not try to respond to the interaction multiple times, contrary to what No767 said in their answer.
