  module available in PyPi and installable like:
  
      $ pip3 install discord

+ Setting up the Bot
+ =====================================

+ 
+ 1. On the "Bot" tab in the discord application configuration page you
+ need to enable both "Privileged Gateway Intents."  This allows the bot
+ to see who is present and active in the channel.
+ 
+ Finally, you need to copy your bot'ss Token (also found on the "Bot" tab)
+ into coldcallbot.py. Pass it as the argument to `ccb.run()`.
