Receiving errors when defining functions (no self parameter, and invalid var type)

I'm trying to make a Python module which provides functions for user input. My code looks like this:

class PyInput:
    def inputString(prompt = "Enter a string: >>> "):
        """inputString asks the user to input a string."""

        userInput = input(prompt)
        str(userInput)
        return userInput

Unfortunately, I am getting multiple errors: The first says that "Instance methods should take a "self" parameter" (I know what this means, but is there a way to not have to define a function within a class to accept a "self" parameter?)

My second error is in my testing code, which looks like this:

from PyIO import *

vartest = "mystring"
tester = PyInput.inputString(vartest)
print(tester)

and it says that:

Argument of type "Literal['Input test: >>> ']" cannot be assigned to parameter "prompt" of type "PyInput" in function "inputString"
  "Literal['Input test: >>> ']" is incompatible with "PyInput"

I noticed that when I add "# type: ignore" to the lines that cause errors, my testing program runs as expected. Is there any way to fix this?

I'm using Python 3.11 on a Windows 11 64 bit laptop.

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
