I Don't Want discord.py-rewrite

I'm trying to get my Discord bot to run 24/7 on Repl.it and when I installed the source files needed to run the bot it installed the discord.py-rewrite. How do I install the version that's not rewrite? I don't like the rewrite at all & I would have to make loads of changes to my bot & learn a lot of new things.

This is the contents of the requirements.txt file that I used to install the discord.py and a few other things:

discord.py
flask
python-dotenv

A code example of the version I want:

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def hello(ctx):
    await bot.say('Hello!')

And this is rewrite, which I don't want:

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello!')

You can specify that you want the 0.16.12 version, which was the last release before the 1.0 rewrite release.

discord.py==0.16.12

You should know, however, that Discord sometimes makes breaking changes to their API (I believe some of these have already happened since 0.16.12 was released). You won't be able to use new functionality, and you will lose access to some functionality as it is replaced. I really recommend getting used to the rewrite.
