its for a dc bot btw

"file" or folder?

a virtual environment is a folder containing an isolated Python installation and its dependencies - they are created to separate your project's dependencies from your global environment

PyCharm creates it automatically for you and manages it, but regardless of which IDE or package manager you are using it's recommended to use a venv to prevent version conflicts

you should just let it create then ignore it and let PyCharm manage it for you

regardless, you should post the actual errors - odds are the problems is either in your script or the versions you're using of things you depend on

folder

import os

import discord

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.messages = True

client = discord.Client()


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))```

whats wrong here?

[stable jackal]

You helped me much thank you very much!!!

[nimble raft]

i'd probably recommend learning python before jumping head first into a discord bot

[fiery cloak]

I very strongly recommended you looking into slash commands (app commands). There is no point to learn message based commands first at this point in time

[stable jackal]

I will do both things! Thank you all!!

how do delete this

[fiery cloak]

You can close it with !close (funnily enough this server has not updated to use slash commands yet)

[stable jackal]

ok lol

!close
