You need to put the error's text in your question rather than having a screenshot of it. - Random Davis
ok I edited my question - Tirterra
You appear to be running the wrong Python version. - user2357112 supports Monica
it works in vs code and I didn't cahnge anything to the version or something - Tirterra
when I print(sys.version") it says that I am in 3.8.5 so I really don't see why it doesn't work - Tirterra

I first oppened the discord module and changed the code where the error occured, there was an issue with the '\N' not being in a substring,but I also got a new error :/(that had nothing to do with discord module).The _socket module was nowhere to be found so just reinstall python.
