I am currently just trying to make a bot for fun that will show up as online on the discord server. The version of python is past the required version need for discord.py and discord.py is installed, but whenever I put in code that from tutorial sites that should work, it always results in some really long error messages.
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
The code above should work but when I run it I get an error message:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Due to me being a bit of an amateur I don't know what is going on. Is there anyone who can help me make sense of my situation?
