client.run("my bot token")
Isn't your actual code.

Again, this question should be asked in the dpy guild.

You've passed None into client.run()

This is not an issue with discord.py.
GitHub issues for this repository should be used to report issues with this library.

For further help specific to using this library, you should join either the official discord.py server or the Discord API server, as the README recommends.

where do I pass None?

that's in place of my actual bot token (stored in env)

johndoe434 on 23 Sep 2020

The env is returning None then see #5846 for a similar issue.

What you're probably doing is
client.run(os.getenv('MjM4NDk0NzU2NTIxMzc3Nzky.CunGFQ.wUILz7z6HoJzVeq6pyHPmVgQgV4')) which won't work.
This is trying to get an environment var named your token.

Not sure how many times I need to say "you should ask this question on the guild"

Vexs on 23 Sep 2020

no, I'm doing this
in main.py

token = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
...
client.run(token)

in .env
DISCORD_TOKEN = my bot token

also you exposed a bot token, and I can't join servers not owned by someone I know

johndoe434 on 23 Sep 2020

That still only changes the answer slightly. os.getenv returns None if it doesn't have a matching key. Your issue is with environment variables, not discord.py

Vexs on 23 Sep 2020

ok, I put token in main.py and now showing this nightmare

Per https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/5847#issuecomment-697923938 please limit Github issues usage for reporting issues with discord.py library.

I said above that I can't join servers not owned by someone I know

johndoe434 on 23 Sep 2020

That's your problem.

Duplicate of #4159

oh, I thought you were referring to that fwrs

johndoe434 on 23 Sep 2020

Phxntxm, that one is windows, this one is for macOS

If you read through the comments on that issue, you'd see the link to the solution if it's Mac:

I don't understand what he's saying (in the other issue)

johndoe434 on 23 Sep 2020

and I'm using python 3.8.5
