[Python] What is the Python equivalent of a Promise from JavaScript?

I am trying to understand what would be the best code structure or a design pattern that would do the following:

Have a function named get_data that would start up a socket connection and will start waiting for a specific socket event that would return some data. Once it gets the data, only then the get_data function should be returned.

So in JS it would be very simple like this:

(Keep in mind that this code snippet is an example, it's not meant to be a working code)

const getData = () => {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const socket = socket()
socket.on("message", (data)=>{
resolve(data)
})
socket.connect("localhost")
});
}

const parseData = async () => {
const data = await getData()
// do something with the data
}


With Python however, I have absolutely no idea how to achieve the same result.

How would I translate it to Python? What strategy would be used here?

The only way I could think of right now is like this:

def get_data():
socket = socket()
my_data = None

@socket.event
def message(data):
nonlocal my_data
my_data = data

socket.connect("localhost")

while not my_data:
time.sleep(0.3)

socket.disconnect()
return my_data

def parse_data():
data = get_data()
# do something with the data
