Im learning to make a bot using python. What do I do so that I can create a new channel using the commands?

Question

Thanks for the previous people that helped me for the last question What Im trying to do is make a different file for a function which is when you type "!Create" + (The name I want the channel to be) it creates a new channel with a specified name and I want that file to be able called back in the main channel

Code 1 :

import os
import discord
import createchannel

client = discord.Client()

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

commands = {
    '$Hello' : 'Hello! write "$Help" to find more about the CazB0T ',
    '$Help' : 'Hi again! The CazB0T is still in beta stages...the only 5 commands are $Hello, $Help, $Test1, $Test2, and $Test3',
    '$Test1' : 'This is Test1',
    '$Test2' : 'This is Test2',
    '$Test3' : 'This is Test3'
}

createchannel()

my_secret = os.environ['token']

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

    for key, value in commands.items():
        if message.content.startswith(key):
            await message.channel.send(value)



client.run(os.getenv('token'))

Code 2:

import discord
import os
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_chancreate(channel):
  channelname = input()
  if channel.content == "!create" + channelname:
    channel = await channel.create_text_channel(channelname)

client.run(os.getenv('token'))

From the comments, I assume you want to create a channel via a command. To accomplish this you need to consider a few things:

If you want to use commands you have to change client = discord.Client() to client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="YourPrefix") and import commands from discord.ext:

from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!") # Example prefix

First: You have to set up conditions, which have to be fulfilled. You want to be able to give the channel its own name? Assume this as the required argument:

@client.command()
async def cchannel(ctx, *, name):

• We said that name is a required argument.
• * is used so that we can also inpute names like t e s t and not only test.

Second: You need to define the guild where you want to create the channel. To do that we use:

guild = ctx.message.guild

Finally we want to create a text channel. To do this we use:

@client.command()
async def channel(ctx, *, name):
    guild = ctx.message.guild # Get the guild
    await guild.create_text_channel(name=name) # Create a text channel based on the input
    await ctx.send(f"Created a new channel with the name `{name}`") # Optional

• While creating the channel we said that the name should be our required argument name.
