Async events in other file

I am making a discord bot using discord.py API. After doing some coding I've realized that I should keep the code clean and keep the commands and events in separate .py files. How could I do that event or command still listen for a trigger and are in separate files? I've tried doing it with import but it just imports classes. Example command:
@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def kick(ctx, *, member: discord.Member = None):
if ctx.message.channel.permissions_for(ctx.message.author).administrator is True:
await client.send_message(member, settings.kick_direct)
await client.kick(member)
await client.say(settings.kick_message + member.mention + settings.kick_message2)
else:
await client.say(settings.permission_error)
python asynchronous command python-3.6 discord.py

You need to load the extension in the file where you create your discord.py client. See below example.
bot.py
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
client.load_extension('cog')
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('client ready')
@client.command()
async def ping():
await client.say('Pong')
client.run('TOKEN')
cog.py
from discord.ext import commands
class TestCog:
def __init__(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
self.counter = 0
@commands.command()
async def add(self):
self.counter += 1
await self.bot.say('Counter is now %d' % self.counter)
def setup(bot):
bot.add_cog(TestCog(bot))

It worked although it doesn't do anything. Bot doesn't respond on command.

Nov 15 at 16:53
I have tested the code on my side and it works fine. Are you placing bothbot.pyandcog.pyin the same folder?
– Benjin
Nov 15 at 17:05
Yeah, same folder.
– Phillip CJ
Nov 15 at 17:31
Not sure what's wrong then. Are you getting any sort of output? If not, try adding some print statements in both files to see if they load
– Benjin
Nov 15 at 17:35
Bot is definitely running, the file is loaded, although it doesn't execute a command.
