How would I send a private message to a specific role in Python

Here's what I've already done:

@bot.command(name='dm')
async def on_message(ctx):
    
    role = get(ctx.guild.roles, id=839182749452992632)    
    for user in ctx.guild.members:
        if user.roles == role:
            await bot.send_message(user, 'hello')
discord.py python

user.roles returns a list, however you're only comparing it to a single role object. This will always be False. Instead, check if the desired role is in the user.roles. If so, check if there already is a DM with that user, otherwise create one and send the message.

import asyncio

@bot.command(name='dm')
async def on_message(ctx):
    
    role = get(ctx.guild.roles, id=839182749452992632)

    for user in ctx.guild.members:
        if role in user.roles:
            if user.dm_channel is None:
                await user.create_dm()
            await user.dm_channel.send("hello")
            await asyncio.sleep(1)

You should however also include a delay, to not get flagged by discord anti-spam system
