Reply to a message discord.py

Question

I want to make my bot react to a users message when they type a certain sentence.

My code to reply:

await ctx.message.reply("I just replied to you")

I get the error:

ctx.message has no attribute "reply"

What code can I do to make the bot reply to the message?

When I say reply, I mean the same as a user can press reply on a message

Answer 1

To any new user here, as of the 1.6.0 discord.py-rewrite update, you are now able to reply!

Every message or context now has a reply attribute. To reply, simply use

await ctx.reply('Hello!')

You can also not mention the author in the reply with mention_author=False

await ctx.reply('Hello!', mention_author=False)

You can also find a basic example Here

Answer 2

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content == "hi":
        await message.channel.send("hello", reference=message)

The main thing here is reference=message. It is available since Discord.py 1.6.
