Cannot connect bot to host discord

[mrracoonman]

This is my first time making a bot for discord and was just trying to see if I could get it to work. It kept displaying this error mesage when I ran it:

C:\Users\User\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/User/PycharmProjects/pythonProject/main.py

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Process finished with exit code 1

What I have so far consists of:

import stuff. . .

PREFIX = ("^")
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=PREFIX, description='hi')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle)
print("Hey there")

bot.run('TOKEN')
