title: How to how to convert username to discord ID?
body: <p>I have a simple questions about discord. I am trying to create an economy system, and it works well, but I want to customize it a bit. I am using this person's module: <a href="https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py</a></p>
  
  <p>How do I convert a username to a discord ID. For example if I have a discord "command" to allow people to gift each other money, like: <code>james#0243</code> types <code>!give 100 bob#9413</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I convert <code>bob#9413</code> to a discord id like <code>58492482649273613</code> because in my database, I have people's users stored as their ID rather than their  actual username as people can change their username.</p>
