When I launch my discord.py bot with this code:

> from discord.ext import commands
> 
> bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ",", description = "Bot de eagle57")
> 
> bot.run("Mytoken")

I get this error:

  hosts = await asyncio.shield(self._resolve_host(

TypeError: shield() got an unexpected keyword argument 'loop'

Does anyone have any idea why I have this error?

I have already removed everything that is not required in the code and I have updated all my pip freeze, but the error doesn’t change.

Answer

This is usually caused because of outdated aiohttp module

You can run

pip install -U aiohttp

and

pip install -U discord.py

This will fix your issue in most cases
