Discord command bot doesn't responde (python)

Question

i have a problem with my discord bot: when i type on discord $ping he doesn't response me pong and i don't know why, i just check the bot have the admin role so he can write, i'm using VsCode and he didn't give me nothing error.
Here is the code

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import requests
import json
import random

client = discord.Client()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.send("pong")

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

client.run("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

You are mixing client and bot, do not do that... This is why the command is not working. — Dominik

So what i need to delete? client =discord.Client() andall@client event? — Luigi 2201

Yes, you can delete client = discord.Client() and use bot.event and bot.command(). To run the bot use bot.run("Token") — Dominik

The problem is, that you are defining the command with bot.command, but you only do client.run. To fix this, either choose a client, or a bot, but not both, like this if you choose bot for example:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import json
import random

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.send("pong")

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

Also don't use requests, since it's blocking.

@Luigi2201 Could you accept the answer (with the green checkmark) if it worked for you, so others can quickly see that it works?
