Edit message in Python

Question

I want my bot to send a message and process it again after a certain period of time What I've already tried:

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send ('content')
    await asyncio.sleep(3)
    await message.edit(content="newcontent")

The error message:

AttributeError: module 'discord.message' has no attribute 'edit'

I use the following:

• Python version: 3.7.4
• discord.py version 1.6.0

Answer 1

You would have to define message first.

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
    message = await ctx.send("content")
    await asyncio.sleep(3)
    await message.edit(content="newcontent")
