Installation on 3.6.4 fails (cannot import name 'Channel'`)

[Noneatme]

I'm trying to get discurses up and running, but I'm not getting any far with that. First, I've tried installing it using pip, but it turns out I had only python 2.7 installed, and it couldn't work with it. So I installed python 3.6.4, pip3, and tried the same procedure. It always fails with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/discurses", line 6, in <module>
    from discurses.__main__ import main
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/discurses/__main__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from . import discord
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/discurses/discord.py", line 7, in <module>
    from discord import Channel, Message
ImportError: cannot import name 'Channel'

discord is installed, I've tried it already with multiple python versions (3.4, 3.6) and I've read though all the other issues on this repo which might be associated with it, I don't know what's wrong. What might be the issue? Thanks for your help.

My Python version:

Python 3.6.4

Getting exact same issue.

Looks like the discord.py dependency updated last month (Apr 8) with some breaking changes [https://pypi.org/project/discord.py/#history]

You can install discord.py==0.16.12 to get discurses to run for now.
