Stuck on an issue?

Subclass Bot

See original GitHub issue

This allows us to do some backend QoL stuff:

Override add_cog() so that it logs the loading of cogs
IDEs will recognise additional attributes, such as the API client
Override load_extensions() so that it automatically prepends bot.cogs to the name given

And there’s maybe more stuff I’m forgetting.

Yes, we should. I think it would also be a good idea to override the close method to close the aiohttp session correctly.

Define it in bot/bot.py. Sure it might feel a little odd but it’s the most appropriate place for it.
