How can I create text channels using discord.py?

Question

I am trying to create a command that creates a text channel. However, its not working. It doesn't even show an error. I am using Discord.py Rewrite.

Here is the code I've tried:

@client.command()
async def addcha(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel):
   await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(channel=None)
   await ctx.send(f"A new channel called {channel} was made")

await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(channel=None)

Guild.create_text_channel doesn't have a channel kwarg, so not sure what you're trying to do here. Further, I don't think you can use a converter to cast your argument to a TextChannel that doesn't exist yet. You just have to pass in the name of the channel.

@client.command()
async def addcha(ctx, channel_name):
    await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(channel_name)
    await ctx.send(f"A new channel called {channel_name} was made")

More info on what you can do when creating a TextChannel in the relevant API Docs.
