I am trying to create a Discord bot with Python, however whenever I run the sample code here:
import discord
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('!hello'):
msg = 'Hello {0.author.mention}'.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('tokenhere')
It returns the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
runfile('C:/Users/User/Pictures/rito_bot.py', wdir='C:/Users/User/Pictures')

loop.close()
File "C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\lib\asyncio\selector_events.py", line 94, in close
raise RuntimeError("Cannot close a running event loop")
RuntimeError: Cannot close a running event loop
Every other line seems to run just fine, but without the last line it doesn't connect to the server, which makes it useless.
Note: I have seen the question here, however OP's solution doesn't seem applicable to my situation.

(Spyder maintainer here) To run async code in our consoles you first need to install the nest_asyncio package and then call it before running any of your code as described on its Readme.
