What is this licensed under?

Grammar error on L41.

That's try:

The printing default traceback thing doesn't work

The printing default traceback thing doesn't work

Yeah doesn't work me either

@hello.error
async def hello_error(self, ctx, error):

is it the right way of having arguments

mine not working

mine not working

are you gonna give an error? or say what it is doing? or show your source so people can see what you messed up?

could this possibly be updated because command.has_error_handler and cog.has_error_handler exists?

Using these, we can just put this in the main on_command_error():

if ctx.command.has_error_handler() or ctx.cog.has_error_handler():
    return

Using these, we can just put this in the main on_command_error():

Isn't it should be has_error_handler()?

Does anyone know how to handle this error?
'Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access'

@Daudd yea, you're right. Fixed my code.

how to use this in my bot
i mean how to import this

@benjamonnguyen You don't have the right permissions to do whatever you're trying to do

how to use this in my bot i mean how to import this

you dont have to import anything to make use of it. just make sure that its in your cogs folder
