Minecraft server command for Discord: "OSError: Server did not respond with any information!"

Question

So I'm trying to make a discord command that returns the latency and player numbers using "discord.py" and "mcstatus". Every time I run the command I get the error "OSError: Server did not respond with any information!" I've tried using MinecraftServer.lookup("mc.hypixel.net"), MinecraftServer.lookup("mc.hypixel.net:25565"), MinecraftServer("mc.hypixel.net", 25565), and some with other servers, but they all respond with the same error.

Here's my code:

import discord
import mcstatus
from mcstatus import MinecraftServer
from discord.ext import commands

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='\\')
client.remove_command('help')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="for \\\'s")
    await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)
    print('Logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    print(error)

@client.command()
async def mcserver(ctx):
    server = MinecraftServer.lookup("mc.hypixel.net")
    status = server.status()
    latency = server.ping()
    print("The server replied in {0} ms".format(latency))
    await ctx.channel.send("The server has {0} players and replied in {1}
ms".format(status.players.online, status.latency))

Answer 1

The problem lies in the server.ping() function. Tbh, I don't know why its not working, but it isn't working for me either. But happily, the latency is included in the server.status() call.

    print("The server replied in {0} ms".format(status.latency))
    await ctx.channel.send("The server has {0} players and replied in {1}
ms".format(status.players.online, status.latency))

I tested this code on my machine, and it works flawlessly. Maybe make an issue on the github project of mcstats explaining the issue.
