All of this is unfortunately mostly gibberish to me. But my discord bot doesn't join the discord, so I figure its not working

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Any help is appreciated

Use "pip show python-dotenv" to confirm that dotnev was installed successfully. Then make sure your python version is 3.10+.

After a few hiccups Its now working fine. Turns out I had 3.9 installed, promptly upgraded and reinstalled. Works a charm!

Thank you :)
