discord.py Not sending message
So, I am making another discord bot, but this time in python. I hoped I would get flawless, beautiful code, but nahhhh. That is not coding. Coding is errorss
The code:
import discord
# Work with Python 3.6
TOKEN = 'NzgxNTE5NzM0NzA4ODk1Nzk0.X7-0-A.wOKSBq-umxSk9nuDe3VJ67300C0'
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
# we do not want the bot to reply to itself
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('--help'):
msg = 'Cmds:\n--: Prefix\n--help\n--pie\n'.format(message)
await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)
if message.content.startswith('--pie'):
msg = 'Hey this command is still under development!'.format(message)
await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('Logged in as')
print(client.user.name)
print(client.user.id)
print('------')
client.run(TOKEN)
Its not sending the message, and when I run the command:--pie
or --help
, I get the following error:
Ignoring exception in on_message
Traceback (most recent call last):

await client.send_message(message.channel,msg)

Also, I would store your TOKEN
in a .env file as it is visible TO ALL - which means anybody can control your bot.
To do this in python, create a .env file and put token=[YOUR TOKEN]
then in your main program have
import os
token = os.environ.get("token")
bot.run(token)

don't reveal your bot in public. anyone can control it.
It is
