Please have a look at the documentation: API Reference — discord.py 1.5.0a documentation[^]

Creating a basic channel in create_text_channel section:

JavaScript

channel = await guild.create_text_channel('cool-channel')

The code I have is:

import discord
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content == "!create":
channel = await guild.create_text_channel('cool-channel')

client.run(my token)

But it still produces an error. What am I coding wrong? Sorry if my python is bad.

About the comment of yours about the following code:

Python

import discord
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content == "!create":
channel = await guild.create_text_channel('cool-channel')

client.run(my token)

You need to have
guild.create_text_channel as
message.guild.create_text_channel

Hope that works

This code contains lots of errors. Also, there could be an easier way rather than trigger it from an event. Use the @client.command() event.
