I would help, but it was around 2 years ago I tried python bots. They are harder than JavaScript in my opinion.

unactualized version of discord. The version of discord used in that link is old and for example bot.get_userinfo doesn’t exist

creating a dm channel in discord.py is explained here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.dm_channel
so you can simply get a message object, then use await message.author.dm_channel.send("message") to send a message to a user via dms.

Instead of ctx.send("message") its ctx.author.send("message") (basically user.send("message"))

this helped me out so much. hours of looking for a simple way without having to retrieve a discord.Member object to send a message. Thank you so much for your help
