title: Getting message content with Discord.py
body: <p>I would like to have a command like <code>$status idle</code> and it would do the follow</p>
  
  <pre><code>variblething = 'I am idle'
  activity = discord.Game(name=variblething)
  await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=activity)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then they can do <code>$message write what you want the status to be</code>
  then it would change what the activity message is. I hope this all makes sense. My current code is the following</p>
  
  <pre><code>import discord
  client = discord.Client()
  
  @client.event
  async def on_ready():
      print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
  
  @client.event
  async def on_message(message):
      if message.author == client.user:
          return
      if message.content.startswith('$helloThere'):
          await message.channel.send('General Kenobi')
  </code></pre>
