Example 2: how to make a discord bot send a message python

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!!') # This sets the prefix change if you want

TOKEN = 'insert token here' # tutorial at the bottom

@client.event
def on_ready():
  print('Ready. Logged in as: {0.user}'.format(client)) # lets you know the bot is online and ready
  

# Now to see how to send a message to discord itself 
@client.command(brief='Echoes back what user says.')
async def echo(ctx, *, user_message):
    # The ctx is so that we can send the message on discord
    # The astrix is so we can take multiple strings for the user message
    # The string is the users message
    await ctx.send('User said --> ' + user_message) 
    
client.run(TOKEN)
    
# Now you can do any command you would like 
# Using the ctx argument.
