I'm new to Slack bots (familiar with Discord.py). I am using the Slackbot package (https://github.com/lins05/slackbot) to create my Python slack bot.
Followed the example on their page, installed the package using pip install slackbot, went to the path of the installation, created a slackbot_settings.py (with specified tags they mentioned) and run.py in the main directory and mybot.py (with example commands they showed on their page to test), but I can't initialize the bot. I tried to run the bot using python run.py but get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return _find_spec(fullname, parent.path)
AttributeError: module 'mybot' has no attribute 'path'
mybot.py has the following lines:
from slackbot.bot import respond_to
from slackbot.bot import listen_to
import re
@respond_to('hi', re.IGNORECASE)
def hi(message):
message.reply('I can understand hi or HI!')
# react with thumb up emoji
message.react('+1')
@respond_to('I love you')
def love(message):
message.reply('I love you too!')
@listen_to('Can someone help me?')
def help(message):
# Message is replied to the sender (prefixed with @user)
message.reply('Yes, I can!')
# Message is sent on the channel
message.send('I can help everybody!')
# Start a thread on the original message
message.reply("Here's a threaded reply", in_thread=True)
Where am I going wrong? I've tried asking the developer but got no answer.
