[Python] Discord bot function failing

I'm rather new to coding but I've been following this tutorial to a t so far (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD_N6Ffoojw) yet the discord bot I'm coding refuses to run? I thought I had finally ironed out all the problems with the imports but it seems not? here is my code

import discord

from discord.ext import commands

import dotenv

import logging

from dotenv import load_dotenv

import os

load_dotenv()
token = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN')
handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='discord.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True

bot = commands.bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"this is a test message from {bot.user.name}")

bot.run(token, log_handler=handler, log_level=logging.DEBUG)


it only spits out an error when I try to run it. The error is

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users\myfulllegalname\Desktop\martinscatinator\main.py", line 20, in <module>
bot = commands.bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


I can't make sense of it at all... also I think I'm running it in a venv python environment, it was the only way the imports would work.
