Running on Python version 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec 6 2015, 01:54:25) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)], and on a Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 machine.

Just configured the bot and tried to run it, but it doesn't work.

It seems the issue is concerning bottom rather than discirc itself.

How did you install the app (from git or from pypi) ?

[Nikitaw99]

Installed discirc from pypi.

[j0ack]

Can you tell me after reinstalling from pypi if the bug remains ? It seems that it runs well on linux after installation.

[Nikitaw99]

The same problem still occured after reinstalling...

[j0ack]

You can try to install bottom from pypi and check if import bottomgive you the same results. If this is the case you should try to report the issue to bottom itself.

Yup, it's probably bottom. Will go report it.
