I am trying to make [https://github.com/TwitchDev/chat-samples/tree/master/python](https://github.com/TwitchDev/chat-samples/tree/master/python) code example to work. I’ve created account for my bot, generated auth token, copied client id however class method on\_welcome never gets called.  
When I connect to IRC via sockets that’s the output:  
:tmi.twitch.tv 001 codexchatbot :Welcome, GLHF!  
:tmi.twitch.tv 002 codexchatbot :Your host is [tmi.twitch.tv](http://tmi.twitch.tv)  
:tmi.twitch.tv 003 codexchatbot :This server is rather new  
:tmi.twitch.tv 004 codexchatbot :-  
:tmi.twitch.tv 375 codexchatbot :-  
:tmi.twitch.tv 372 codexchatbot :You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.  
:tmi.twitch.tv 376 codexchatbot :\>

:codexchatbot!codexchatbot@codexchatbot.tmi.twitch.tv JOIN

:codexchatbot.tmi.twitch.tv 353 codexchatbot = :bot  
:codexchatbot.tmi.twitch.tv 366 codexchatbot :End of /NAMES list

And new messages never get printed.  
Please help!

Seems you need a channelname. Just send “JOIN #channelname” instead of “JOIN”. Replace ‘channelname’ with your channel
