Why am I getting TypeError with discord.py?

I've been using discord.py for a comfortable 3-4 months. I have maybe 2-3 projects using it, too. When I wanted to make a discord bot for my server which I'm using for Community Service and promoting good Mental Health, I received a TypeError as the output to my code, which at this point just responded to !hello.

Then, assuming I did something wrong (which is like 98% of the time) I tried to run my old discord.py projects that were working literally 4 days ago and I received the same TypeError.

Here is my code:

import discord

TOKEN = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    print(message.content)

    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
        msg = 'Hello {0.author.mention}'.format(message)
        await message.channel.send(msg)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

client.run(TOKEN)

And this is the full error I received:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/lenovo/PycharmProjects/untitled/WIIT Discord.py", line 24, in <module>
    client.run(TOKEN)

    self._overwrites.append(_Overwrites(id=overridden_id, **overridden))
TypeError: __new__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'deny_new'

Process finished with exit code 1

I'm by absolutely no means an expert at Python or discord.py, but from what I can tell, either I have entered some wrong value, or there is a problem with the discord.py package. It's more likely that the former happened than the latter, so any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Try updating your discord.py or maybe changing or reinstalling your IDE. I recently faced this problem with atom and it was fixed after I reinstalled atom. Make sure to save your projects in a textfile or something.

Updating to the latest version of discord.py should fix it:

python3 -m pip install -U discord.py
