TypeError: Inheritance a class from URL is forbidden

Question

I run into this error when trying to run a bot I made for Discord. This occurred after downloading some modules. Is there any way to fix this?

Answer 1

Discord.py rewrite branch has some problems recently with its requirements.txt and aiohttp support. You need to manually install a lower version of yarl to support discord.py's required aiohttp library.

You need to run the following:

pip install "yarl<1.2"

---

UPDATE

The new versions of discord.py rewrite fixed this problem, you no longer need to do follow the aforementioned solution. The correct action to take is to re-download discord.py rewrite from GitHub and upgrade the packages.

Answer 2

I ran into the same problem but for setting up self-bot, for that just paste this into requirments.txt:

yarl<1.2
