AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'loop'

I’m attempting to run my bot when every time i try to start it I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\h0r1zonZ\Desktop\A\B\C\regular\DEFENDER.py", line 53, in <module>
    Bot.run(token)
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 543, in run
    loop = self.loop
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'loop'

This was my top Google result for “discord.py has no attribute loop”, which I searched because I ran into: AttributeError: '<class 'client.RobohorseClient'>' object has no attribute 'loop' In case some other wayward soul is googling for this error, I had forgotten to call super().__init__() in my Client subclass.

You’re not using the instance of the class. You’re using the type itself.

It’s:

client = discord.Client()
client.run(...)

Not:

discord.Client.run(...)

Please learn some more Python before attempting to make a bot.
