This is for a discord bot I am making, and I have tried to set the bot's status. I've found an answer that looks like await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="for e/info")) and I have put it in an on_ready event function. However, it gives me the following exception: 

Ignoring exception in on_ready
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", 
    line 312, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Desktop\EffeKtive\bot.py", line 14, in on_ready
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="for 
      e/info"))
NameError: name 'discord' is not defined

I feel that I am missing an import.

discord.py discord python

You'll need to import discord at the top of your code.

You may have installed discord.py in a seperate location, try installing it to C:\Windows\system32>. You also may be missing an import. If you are trying to add commands, you also have to: from discord.ext import commands. Is it possible for you to post your code?
