In this lesson, you’ll use Bot
, which is a subclass of Client
that adds a little bit of extra functionality that is useful when you’re creating bot users. For example, a Bot
can handle events and commands, invoke validation checks, and more. Before you can get into the features specific to Bot
, you’ll convert bot.py
to use a Bot
instead of a Client
.
You’ll also work with a new component, the Command
. In general terms, a command is an order that a user gives to a bot so that it will do something. As you work with them, you’ll see how commands are different from events.
