How do I edit an embed in discord.py?

I have tried 

msg.edit(embed = embed)

but it just edits the message with

<discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x000001824D3F5A68>

Please clarify your question, what you are trying to achieve, what is the result at the moment, is there some error messages? – vgalin
@vgalin I am trying to send an embed message , then edit the embed message every 1.5 seconds. It edits the message into <discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x000001824D3F5A68> instead and keeps editing that <discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x000001824D3F5A68> message – azlol

To provide an alternative answer to the one already given, you should be able to edit an embed of a given message like this :

from discord import Embed

...

first_embed = Embed(title='embed 1')
new_embed = Embed(title='embed 2')

# send a first message with an embed
msg = await ctx.send(embed=first_embed)

# edit the embed of the message
await msg.edit(embed=new_embed)
