Python Discord Bot, needing the Server ID

I am creating a discord bot in python, and to keep the data on my computer I am using a dictionary in a text file, but if I want multi-server support for something like config I need to know the server's id. The only thing I found that could've worked is discord.Server.id but it returns <member 'id' of 'Server' objects>. I was wondering if there is any other way to do this in python? My exact code is this:

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def info(ctx):
    await bot.say("ID: {}".format(discord.Server.id))

which returns

ID: <member 'id' of 'Server' objects>

when I run c*info (c* being my bot's prefix). I don't know the cause of this error or what I'm doing wrong so please help!

Thanks

You can get an instance of the Server class from the command invocation context ctx. That object will have a meaningful id attribute.

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def info(ctx):
    await bot.say("ID: {}".format(ctx.message.server.id))

For , this would be 

@bot.command()
async def info(ctx):
    await ctx.send("ID: {}".format(ctx.guild.id))
