Command not found - Discord.py

I'm trying to create a bot with the help of Python and the discord.py library.

I have two files main.py, and MyBot.py.

Main.py

from MyBot import MyBot

bot = MyBot()
bot.run("API_KEY")

MyBot.py


from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import command


class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix="!")

    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Bot ready.")

    @command(name="hello", help="Say hello")
    async def hello(ctx, arg):
        await ctx.channel.send("Hello you!")

When running the command !hello I get an exception in my script

Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hello" is not found

I think the error comes from the way I use the decorator, but I have no idea how to fix it. Please note that I'm currently learning python co-routines & decorators. So this is a new notion to me.

Anyway, thanks a lot to anyone willing to help me :)

If you would like to inherit from commands.Bot use:

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import command

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix="!")

    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Bot ready.")


bot = MyBot()

@bot.command(name="hello", help="Say hello")
async def hello(ctx, arg):
    await ctx.channel.send("Hello you!")

bot.run('token')

If you are inheriting from MyBot as a method to group commands use cogs. In its current state, inheriting from commands.Bot has no practical usage.
