The problem is right at the end: you don't actually call the function.
You always need parentheses to call a function.
`startandload` also takes a parameter that doesn't seem to be used.
I'm also a bit
confused as to your reason for running a function called
"startandload" (which seems to be initialization) in an infinite loop;
you possibly just want to call it once.
Or perhaps:
if __name__ == '__main__':
startandload()
