Ok so bear with me. Im still learning and may ask you some questions. As stated in title I recently read a few books on how to code python. Made a small stupid app, small pygame and text game. So I wanted to do something new and harder for myself and to try and grow.
I followed a tutorial on youtube and the person didnt have this issue come up when they were coding. So heres the code that I have for my discord bot:
import discord
import os
client = discord.Client()
TOKEN = '##############################'
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.auther == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
await message.channel.send('Hello World')
@client.event
async def on_connect():
print("Bot connected to the sever!")
client.run(TOKEN)
Now when the guy in the tutorial runs his code there is no errors. But when I run my code on my pc I get back the following:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\ccarr\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 713, in run

I have no idea what is really going on error wise. I do understand that its a simple code that will say hello in ta message when typeing the proper command in a chat.
