Discord Python - How to get the username from the user ID?

Does anyone know how to get the discord username (and discriminator) of someone given its ID? This code does not return a username:

userid = '123'
username = bot.get_user_info(userid)

Thank you ! :)

What is bot? I guess it's your discord.Client object? Then, your call to get_user_info returns an object of class discord.User. Furthermore, get_user_info is a coroutine.

You will have to write something like this:

user = await bot.get_user_info(userid)
username = user.name

As @squaswin pointed out in the comments: Keep in mind that await statements have to be inside async functions. Otherwise a SyntaxError will be raised.
