I had been searching for a proper tutorial on a discord bot using python, but I couldn't find one since every video was outdated , and the documentation also made no sense. Thanks for the great work.
As someone who doesn't even own a computer and is borrowing one let alone how to code, this worked flawlessly. It's really easy once you get over the first few hurdles of installing everything correctly
@@ilikecreeper331 if you're asking if I've improved, not really. I only made a discord bot for an april fools gag for a couple of my friends. It does seem fun to learn later down the line if I ever do
Hi, this video was very helpful to me. I hope you will continue to bring content regarding creating a discord bot in python and in a future video you will discuss the use of embeds, welcome messages, buttons, moderation functions and so on. I have so many questions haha
0:35 Dont use `discord`, use `discord.py`, `discord` is a mirror package, even the README in PyPi shows this warning. 8:42 Please, explain better Intents, Intents are the different things your bot wants to recieve from the Gateway & API, not some sort of permissions... 10:30 No!! Check if the message has any embeds or attachments rather than just saying that intents are not set up. 14:22 No need for the `elif`s, if any `if` block check is met then it will return something... I can't really explain myself here but no needs did elif 18:20 No need for those variables... 19:58 Why do you still have that "one liner check"? Just use if blocks, it makes readability better Also, why make a `responses.py` file? I thought you were using clean python practises, and that is NOT a good python practise. Anyways, good vid
Coded my first discord bot today with your video, now i'm using the code to learn further into adding more features and stuff to my bot! thank you for the super easy to follow tutorial
i had the same problem, so my suggestion is making sure its "discord" and not "Discord", as that was the problem for me when I got the same error message. If that doesn't work, then idk I'm pretty beginner at coding :|
So, it says everything is all good and up and running. Everything is exact as the video. But when I text in the channels, it won't respond. But when I text using the ? then thats when it works and goes to DMs. What's wrong? Why won't it work normal?
im stuck at 7:35 from dotnev import load_dotnev I have a bug saying Cannot find reference 'load_dotenv' in '__init__.py' I can't figure out how to fix it
do you know if you have dotenv library installed on your machine? Sounds like python is trying to find the function, but can't find the package directory. Also make sure everything is spelled correctly.
Received an error saying: 'token' is not identified. When I look through the Discord_Token i noticed it's not highlighted in green like in the tutorial, but otherwise I followed everything normally. The code does print my token as it did in the tutorial. Is there a fix? Please and thank you Edit: I figured it out.
I have an error AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'. Has the docs changed because I am getting it when I run your code and the one I wrote
The venv (virtual environment) folder is for storing the project specific modules without changing the global one. In this case we have the standard Python modules in there plus the modules installed witht pip: discord and dotenv.
Hi, I really liked the video! Can you show us how to implement a RUclips video tracking functionality (like Pingcord)? I've looked online but I can't find a way to do this since I'm not the owner of the RUclips Account whose videos I wanna be reminded of. Thanks :) EDIT: Also slash commands please!!
Thanks for the information. I have now created my Discord Bot and its online but it wont respond to any message I type. Can you please re-upload this video and also add the chapter "Fix the bot when not responding to any messages"
I followed the steps to this tutorial to a T, but I get stuck on the SSL certification. It states that my certification isn't valid, however I already updated it and all
depending on your version of Python, you should have a install certificates.command in your python folder I believe and that fixes the problem for most users. If you copy and paste the last line of the error code into your web browser you should be able to find some solutions if it is a certificate problem on the internet.
thank you for this tutorial, i have been looking for a good discord bot tutorial, but for some reason the "import os" section does not work as ""os" is not accessed by Pylance"
Hi! Really love the tutorial. Was just wondering, cause when I try to run the script I get a error message saying "asyncio.run() cannot be called from an running event loop", I just can't figure out what is causing this error.
That's work, but only on my channel where I'm as an owner, but it didn't work on my friend channel where I'm as an admin and my friend as an owner. I don't really understand discord 😢
I recieved SO many errors and when I clicked the link to show me where it was it pulled up a bunch of random code that I never wrote nor could I edit it because it was read only. It went down into thousands of lines of code. I think it has something to do with the new intent stuff but I have no clue what to do about it. I coded everything exactly as is in the video. Can someone help?
Too many one liner which makes it super hard for normal devs to read the code. Remember a code is written once and read like 10 times. Always write one more line but keep it readable. I say this as a senior developer.
I don't think he understands how much some Linux users love the terminal. xD I'm legit working on a file manager for it. You may be asking why, and I'll tell you the reason is "why not"?
The bot should not be able to send a ddos attack because Discord will rate limit your bot, which is a HTTP error forcing your bot to disconnect and go offline.
yo buddy.. when i ran main 8:07 ... for me this comment popped up PS C:\Users\jonan> & C:/Users/jonan/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python312/python.exe d:/main Traceback (most recent call last): File "d:\main", line 3, in from dotenv import load_dotenv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv' what did i do wrong and how do i fix it
Last time i tried to learn python few years ago, and i don't remember this stuff with colons. All this stuff like "lowered : str =..." or "intents: Intents" = ... or "client: Client = ..." etc. Is this something new? I failed to even properly google it.

Ciao, sei italiano?
I had been searching for a proper tutorial on a discord bot using python, but I couldn't find one since every video was outdated , and the documentation also made no sense. Thanks for the great work.
Glad I could help!
I have never heard of the walrus operator. Just that alone made watching this video worth my while.
Recent addition to Python! Just learned about it as well
same lol
I believe it was introduced in Python 3.8. Not that "recent" 🙂
Literally the same 😂🤔
This helped me a lot thank you.Keep up the work it really high quality
Jag är så glad, folk som dig är göra guider för python liksom andra kodning språk!
Kärlek från Sverige!
Kul att se en svensk i kommentarerna, jag håller på att lära mig svenska just nu :)
@@Indently ja, jag såg du kommer från danmark o jag bestämde mig för att lämna en vänlig kommentar
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I followed along and created my own Discord Bot!
Glad it helped!

I made it!🙂Thank you. I got my first bot running.
This tutorial is by far the most useful one for starting a general simple discord bot! Really appreciate it. Thank you !
This is amazing! thank you for such a lovely tutorial!
Thanks for the video and all the contents you’ve created. I’ve recently bought a couple of Udemy courses from you and they’re amazing. Congrats.
A huge thanks for the support! It means a lot!:)
literally the best tutorial ever... worked like a charm. thank you!!
Coded my first discord bot today with your video, now i'm using the code to learn further into adding more features and stuff to my bot! thank you for the super easy to follow tutorial
super cool, good luck with your coding journey!
hey, how is your journey going?
Great job, well presented - thanks!
Awesome tutorial, thank you!
Great video! Especially for programmers who are just getting into their programming journey.
followed the tutorial but the bot doesn't response in the channel, only private messages. can you help?
This was realy helpful thanks!
Thanks for this awesome project
Thank you for this so much! Now I am well on my way to creating an AI chatbot using python for discord!
Glad it helped!
this was very easy i have barely ever coded with pyuthon but i have learned alot jsut becyse of this tutorial thank you so much!
I made my first bot , i will say big thank you for all! ❤
Im print "TOKEN", but the out is: "None"
14:11 why dont you use " instead of ' it means you dont have to do the \
thanks! great tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
I tried your code and i got a error on line 5 theres no module named discord
i had the same problem, so my suggestion is making sure its "discord" and not "Discord", as that was the problem for me when I got the same error message. If that doesn't work, then idk I'm pretty beginner at coding :|
Look up what pip is, it will change the way you code
Also you need to have pip installed firstly
Nicely presented!
So, it says everything is all good and up and running. Everything is exact as the video. But when I text in the channels, it won't respond. But when I text using the ? then thats when it works and goes to DMs. What's wrong? Why won't it work normal?
When I run my program I don't get the red messages.
when I try to make the .env file it just turns into a text file and everything in it is gray and doesnt work
I'm so mad it isn't working the terminal is blank whenever i try to run it please advise on a solution.
I code in C# and that Walrus operator blew my mind
Thank you
im stuck at 7:35 from dotnev import load_dotnev I have a bug saying Cannot find reference 'load_dotenv' in '__init__.py' I can't figure out how to fix it

Can you make a tutorial, how to add slash commands to THIS Version of a Discord Bot? But good job, thanks
Thanks!
thanks man
Received an error saying: 'token' is not identified. When I look through the Discord_Token i noticed it's not highlighted in green like in the tutorial, but otherwise I followed everything normally. The code does print my token as it did in the tutorial. Is there a fix? Please and thank you
Edit: I figured it out.
What was your fix?
what was it?
How can I make it to show the commands available like any other discord bot?
I have an error AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'. Has the docs changed because I am getting it when I run your code and the one I wrote
If you get the error with "intempered token was passed" or something, you have to save the file after putting in the token in .env.
This will fix it
Great video! I am a bit confused what the .venv file is for though?
The venv (virtual environment) folder is for storing the project specific modules without changing the global one. In this case we have the standard Python modules in there plus the modules installed witht pip: discord and dotenv.
Thanks alot, this really helped. How do i host it, so it keeps running?

make sure your .env file has the token in there still

well you are basically defining the TYPE of that variable you are mentioning
it's a discord/api thing lol. "lowered: str", however, is simply declaring the variable type for `lowered`.
