Why doesn't the python discord bot start?

Question

Python

I made a simple python bot for discord (I took everything from this article https://habr.com/en/post/494600/ ).
The code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = 'токен'

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') #инициализируем бота с префиксом '!'

@bot.command(pass_context=True) #разрешаем передавать агрументы
async def test(ctx, arg): #создаем асинхронную фунцию бота
    await ctx.send(arg) #отправляем обратно аргумент

bot.run(TOKEN)

When run, it gives an error:
TTraceback (most recent call last):
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/aiohttp/connector.py", line 936, in _wrap_create_connection

self._sslobj.do_handshake()

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

How to fix it?

Answer 1

Well, the error is right in the trace:
Cannot connect to host discordapp.com:443
certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate
SSL problems. Either the time on the computer is different from the real one, or someone is really sitting in the middle with a fake certificate.
upd: I also recommend to look at a similar question: What to do with the Process finished with exit code 1 error when starting a discord bot?

Answer 2

Instead of 'token' insert your bot 's token like here >>>TOKEN = 'токен'

TOKEN = 'NzIxMzM0MzIzMzE1MzQzNDMx.XuTBFg.U'
client.run(TOKEN)

This token is not valid.
A token is something like a bot key
Here is a link to a video where you can understand where and how to get a token https://yandex.fr/video/preview/?filmId=9783398775...

Answer 3

Is any websniffer turned on by any chance?

Answer 4

Reinstall discord.py and other folders associated with it, due to incorrect update, its old folder remains and files disappear
