Additional Context
I was trying to make a Slash command with an Option(discord.Member) argument and it worked perfectly, except when someone called the command from the bot DM's.
Since it is a DM and there is no guild, the Option() class can not use the get_member() method from a NoneType. I tried to implement the @Lulalaby idea of using a discord.User instead and if the slash command was called from a guild, then get the discord.Member trough the user ID.
