Python scripts explanation

[dam]

Can someone explain to me what each instruction in the discord bot python scripts work? (this guide here) I kinda want to try to customise my bot code directory position, but i don't know how the script works. I see that it reads the file directly in the guide but I'm don't know python enough to make sense of it

Hi dam

You mean this script below ?

It doesn't matter.
You can locate your script where ever you want.
The script connect to discord server from where it is on the disc.
 

Do a try

#!/usr/bin/python3.6

import os
import discord
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
token = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN')

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    await member.create_dm()
    await member.dm_channel.send(
        f'Hi {member.name}, welcome to my Discord server!'
    )

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content == '!heliobot':
        await message.channel.send(f'Hello, how are you today?')

client.run(token)

No, i mean the start.py and stop.py scripts, that make the bot start and stop
