Discord.py - client.send_message() doesn't send message - Python 3.6

client = discord.Client()
noticeme = 'notice me senpai'

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    author = message.author
    authorid = message.author.id
    print ("@{} user sent a message. (id: {})".format(author, authorid))

    if message.content == noticeme:
        print ('I noticed you @{}!'.format(authorid))
        await client.send_message(message.channel, 'I noticed you @{}!'.format(authorid))

I'm trying to make a command that responds with "I noticed you @username!" when you say "notice me senpai" but it doesn't work. (the print DOES work)

I noticed you are using @bot.event instead of @client.event because you have named your bot variable "client" and not "bot" in the first line of shared code it says:

client = discord.Client()

Then in the on_message event:

@client.event

async def on_message(message):
    print("{} sent a message.".format(message.author.mention))
    
    if message.content == "notice me senpai":
        print ('I noticed you {}!'.format(message.author.mention))
        await message.channel.send("I have noticed you {}.".format(message.author.mention))

As you noticed, I didn't use the "author" variable here because it is not that useful. you can just do: message.author.mention instead of assigning a variable a first and then mentioning it.
Tip: You can replace 6th line with:

if message.content.lower == "notice me senpai":

So that even if user type it in any other way say "nOtIce me senpai" with capital letters in it. It will still send the message.

maybe instead of await client.send_message(message.channel, 'I noticed you @{}!'.format(author)), try await message.send('I noticed you @{}!'.format(author))

client = discord.Client()
noticeme = 'notice me senpai'

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    author = message.author
    authorid = message.author.id
    print ("@{} user sent a message. (id: {})".format(author, authorid))

    if message.content == noticeme:
        print ('I noticed you @{}!'.format(authorid))
        await client.send_message(message.channel, 'I noticed you @{}!'.format(author))

This should be your code. You used @bot.event which should be replaced by @client.event. I tested your code and if you want to use an @ mention you need to use the author variable instead of the authorid one.

Hope this helps.

You're using await client.send_message() instead of await bot.send_message().
