Discord Python Subcommands aren't working?

Question

I've tried many possible solutions to these subcommands but I can't find the issue.

@client.command(aliases=['commands', 'Commands', 'Help'])
async def help(ctx, command=None):
    if command == None:
        author = ctx.message.author
        embed = discord.Embed(colour=discord.Colour.magenta())
        embed.set_author(name='Help Command')
        embed.add_field(name='Here are all the commands!',
                        value='If you want to know how to use a command, do ``;help <command name>`` *--coming soon--*',
                        inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name='Miscellaneous',
                        value='``8ball``, ``flip``, ``userinfo``, ``drip``, ``annoy``, ``hug``, ``slap``, ``cry`` ``pat``, ``punch``, ``invite``',

Is there any fix out there to this? I couldn't find one myself. ';help' is the normal command to get all the commands. Subcommands would be ';help userinfo', ';help rules', etc. I've asked around in the discord.py discord server, and I've also tried going the the official Python discord server to get help. But nothing seems to work. Any fixes? Any help would be awesome :)

Answer 1

You can use commands.HelpCommand or commands.MinimalHelpCommand

for example:

class MyHelpCommand(commands.MinimalHelpCommand):
    def get_command_signature(self, command):
        return '{0.clean_prefix}{1.qualified_name} {1.signature}'.format(self, command)

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self._original_help_command = bot.help_command
        bot.help_command = MyHelpCommand()
        bot.help_command.cog = self

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.bot.help_command = self._original_help_command

Note: The example I used was taken from the discord.py discord server.
