PyCharm doesn't identify 'config', Pycharm 2020.3.3 Python 3.9

Question

I found this help command from GitHub and put it in my code. I checked all errors and under those errors was the error that config was not defined. How do I fix it?

Link to GitHub: https://gist.github.com/nonchris/1c7060a14a9d94e7929aa2ef14c41bc2

Code (it's a long code, I know):

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.errors import Forbidden

"""This custom help command is a perfect replacement for the default one on any Discord Bot written in Discord.py!
However, you must put "bot.remove_command('help')" in your bot, and the command must be in a cog for it to work.

You need to set three variables to make that cog run.

Answer 1

A config.py file is a file you use to set configurations to your code easily. On the code you sent, it's used to identify a couple of key attributes. If the original creator hasn't posted the config.py on the github, you can probably do it yourself. First, you will create a .py fle named config, and then you will write on there the attributes that this code calls using config. For example, in one part of the code, we have this:

except AttributeError as e:
                owner = config.OWNER_NAME

That means the code is going after the config file to look for the attribute "OWNER_NAME", so, when you create your config.py file on your own folder, you will have to define this attribute, with something like:

OWNER_NAME = "your name or something"

The same goes for every other attribute called through the config. After you finish defining all of this, make sure the config.py file goes inside the same folder that your code is located, and put on your code this simple line:

import config

And then your code should run.
