i haven't used threading since i am not too sure if asyncio supports that lib i used concurrent.futures threadpoolexecutor which is said in their docs they support it

[cold sonnet]

thank you

[shrewd apex]

and used it with bot.loop.run_in_executor i had no problems with it till date

[quaint epoch]

!d asyncio.to_thread

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.to\_thread

coroutine asyncio.to_thread(func, /, *args, **kwargs)```
Asynchronously run function *func* in a separate thread.

Any *args and **kwargs supplied for this function are directly passed to *func*. Also, the current [`contextvars.Context`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextvars.html#contextvars.Context "contextvars.Context") is propagated, allowing context variables from the event loop thread to be accessed in the separate thread.

Return a coroutine that can be awaited to get the eventual result of *func*.

This coroutine function is primarily intended to be used for executing IO-bound functions/methods that would otherwise block the event loop if they were ran in the main thread. For example:

[quaint epoch]

you can use this instead

[shrewd apex]

run_in_executor already creates a seperate thread

for tasks

[dull terrace]

but the question is whether it would still be blocking or do i have to start a thread for each blocking call inside a threaded one

threads honestly hurt my brain

[quaint epoch]

for blocking code, you'd have to open a new thread.

[shrewd apex]

so if u just want to create a thread for a task u don't need a thread lib

[quaint epoch]

just for one task?

well you could use asyncio directly

[shrewd apex]

just use bot.loop.run_in_executor(None, foo, *args)

[dull terrace]

so bascially might as well just do it for the slowest blocking task rather than the function which contains them

[shrewd apex]

^^

[shrewd apex]

no need

[dull terrace]

oh it's in a loop already

[shrewd apex]

yes

[quaint epoch]

i mean, you could add a task to that loop

[dull terrace]

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(client.start(token))
loop.run_forever()```

[real grail]

Ok, i will use this method :)

[quaint epoch]

.run

and yes you can do that, but dpy handles it already

what ash said works

manually starting the loop isn't necessary

[dull terrace]

[shrewd apex]

idk why it dosent show with python bot but u can try in ur ide u just need to pass none as first arg then the function me and rest all args

u can use functools partial as well

if u want to

[quaint epoch]

passing None as an arg is sus 👀

but k

[shrewd apex]

thats how it works 💀 🗿

[dull terrace]

loop.run_in_executor(None, get_embed, interaction) i'm guessing getting return variables is gonna be a pain in the ass

[shrewd apex]

👌

don't forget to await

and if ur function is a coro

u need double await

[dull terrace]

... await await

[paper sluice]

why are you running a coro in executor

[dull terrace]

yeah ill just make it not a coro

[shrewd apex]

coro has blocking stuff ig

[paper sluice]

if it has blocking stuff, don't make it a coro, simple

[shrewd apex]

oh didn't notice ryuga team leader 👀

how is your jam coming along?

[paper sluice]

decent ig

[shrewd apex]

nais

[paper sluice]

wbu

[shrewd apex]

eh similar somewhat decent

situation looks a bit dicy

[paper sluice]

ah gl

[shrewd apex]

hehe gonna need that

[dull terrace]

embed, components, file = await asyncio.gather(loop.run_in_executor(None, get_embed, interaction))```
will this work ![7739monkathink](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/960314142030442566.webp?size=128 "7739monkathink")

[shrewd apex]

y gather? and where ur bot?

[dull terrace]

how do i get return values

[shrewd apex]

embed, components, file = await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(None, get_embed, interaction)

in the get_embed function

just add a return statement

[dull terrace]

i don't get why i need the bot, it's not in a class either so self?

[shrewd apex]

bot has a loop attribute u need that

[dull terrace]

ohhhh

so i created an event loop when i didn't need to

[shrewd apex]

how do ik if it's in a class or not 🗿

[warped mirage]

guys

i need help making a set prefix command, multi guild, using files aka, txt

[slate swan]

you cant do that with txt files sowwy

[slate swan]

main.py:31: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Loop.__call__' was never awaited

it is a task

[slate swan]

await it

[slate swan]

so await S_ping()?

hellllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[slate swan]

it says 'yeild' used outside a function

[paper sluice]

show code

[slate swan]

do i have to do this channel = AWAIT bot.get_channel?

[shrewd apex]

no

[slate swan]

then whatttttttttttttt

[shrewd apex]

u just remove the await there that's it nothing less nothing more

[slate swan]

  S_ping()
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[slate swan]

cringe

[slate swan]

im making a ping server..

for pings

you can join

its still cringe especially because of ratelimits

[shrewd apex]

S_ping.start()

[slate swan]

asyncio.sleep 🙄

[dull terrace]

pretty happy with my 3rd bot now

[slate swan]

its amazing

[shrewd apex]

nice

[slate swan]

⭐dynamic ratelimits⭐

[shrewd apex]

i wouldn't want a ping every 2.5 secs either

thats even more annoying than rate limits

[slate swan]

imagine like not having your own server

@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def gstart(ctx,time,winners,prize):

    channel = ctx.channel

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Giveaway!",description=f"{prize}",color=random.choice(colors))

    embed.set_footer(text=f"Ends {time} from now!")
    my_msg = await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)
    await my_msg.add_reaction("tada")

    d = time[-1]

    num = int(time[:-1])

    if d == "s":
        await asyncio.sleep(num)

    if d == "m":
        await asyncio.sleep(num * 60)

    if d == "h":
        await asyncio.sleep(num * 60 * 60)

    if d == "d":
        await asyncio.sleep(num * 60 * 60 * 24)

    winners_number = int(winners[:-1])
    new_msg = await channel.fetch_message(my_msg.id)

    users_mention = []
    for i in range(winners_number):
      users = await new_msg.reactions[0].users().flatten()
      users.pop(users.index(bot.user))
      winner = random.choice(users)
      users_mention.append(winner.mention)
      users.remove(winner) 
    await ctx.send(f"Congratulations {users_mention} you won the giveaway !")```
Why giveaway dosent work without errors?

[jade fulcrum]

little question here

i want to do this but how do i store data in each varible?

[timid briar]

have problem with twilio

[jade fulcrum]

not related to discord bots

but love if someone could help

[slate swan]

ask in python general or a help channel, this channel is for discord bots

😢

[slate swan]

👁️ 👁️

what am i seeing right now

Lol, I forgot Twilio exists.

[timid briar]

i got this code from a friend

so any help

[slate swan]

I mean the error message is right there anyway and tells you what you need.

[slate swan]

third party slash command lib

check line 21,22,23 if i counted it right

[regal pulsar]

guys

anyone know how to reopen a closed dms with a deleted account

with or without python

[slate swan]

What is going on with your imports....

import datetime
import os
import discord 
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext import tasks
import os, discord, datetime
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
from dotenv import load_dotenv

[regal pulsar]

i just need a message i sent there

and yeah i have the id

[slate swan]

theyre going brrrrr

[slate swan]

wtf

[regal pulsar]

i had a friend who deleted their account

[slate swan]

That would be a discord support thing if the account is deleted, even then it will be against data protection so not doable.

[regal pulsar]

im looking for a message i sent them

[regal pulsar]

a message i sent

not them

[slate swan]

do you still have him as a friend?

[regal pulsar]

when an account is deleted the friends list is cleared

[slate swan]

Well, contact support like I said, but you whether its your account or not is irrelevant, they will refuse on grounds of data protection.

oh right, well you cant unless you had the dm open

[regal pulsar]

hmm alright

[slate swan]

@regal pulsar if u can find them on a server or whatever just right dm them, u will get an error but aye u can read the dms

[regal pulsar]

ah

[regal pulsar]

nothing happens when i click dm

like for example this is the id

456226577798135808

i tried doing @slate swan

@slate swan

[slate swan]

Discord support.....

[regal pulsar]

clicking the message button does nothing

[sick birch]

Searching up "deleted user" in the quick switcher shows up

[regal pulsar]

thats my last resort ;)

[regal pulsar]

oh

[sick birch]

I'm able to view the DMs of people I've talked to who have deleted their accounts

[regal pulsar]

a bunch of them are showing up for me but not this one

[slate swan]

But didn't you say you deleted your account you used to message them?

[regal pulsar]

no they deleted their account

they have a new one now but im looking for something i sent them a while ago

[slate swan]

Ok, did you clear the conversation/delete the specific chat with that friend? I mean can you see anything at all from that specific frined?

[regal pulsar]

i had a dm open with them on my old account and i can scroll down and open it just fine

but not on this one

[slate swan]

this would work right?

[sick birch]

Run it & see

[slate swan]

kids, give me ur tokens and ill run ur bot 24/7

really?😳

[slate swan]

Right, were not talking about your old account, now can you see anything form this specific friend ?

[slate swan]

sure why not, not like discord bots take much resources

[swift pumice]

🗿

[regal pulsar]

wdym

[slate swan]

Discord support.

[regal pulsar]

you mean messages from mutual servers?

[pliant gulch]

Why is there parts indented in the function and some other parts not? Also DWM Moment

[slate swan]

🙀

[regal pulsar]

last resort ;)

[slate swan]

Contact discord support this is not a discord bot issue.

[swift pumice]

sus

[pliant gulch]

I am a BSPWM enjoyer myself

[slate swan]

too fancy for me

the heck is a BSPWM

[sick birch]

good wm

[regal pulsar]

yeah but people in this channel usually know more about discord’s workings so i asked

[slate swan]

its what all the kids use

[sick birch]

i am also a bspwm enjoyer

[slate swan]

So long as I can get access tot he backend... 😉 I'll help with the hosting.

[slate swan]

sounds like a deal tbh

[pliant gulch]

DWM is definitely more powerful than BSPWM since you get to use C, if my install wasn't fully configured to BSPWM already I would've used DWM or Xmonad

[swift pumice]

fr

[slate swan]

guess im an adult already

[swift pumice]

💀

[slate swan]

No such thing as an adult, you'll grow old but will always stay young at heart 😄

nah kids im being fr, ill host ur discord bot for no extra cost 👍 i have a server that doesnt do anything atm, just mc and my discord bot

[regal pulsar]

mc is ridiculously unoptimized

[slate swan]

need to setup openrc services because man im lazy

[slate swan]

mc server

Where you host your discord bot? I'm intrigued.

[slate swan]

heres my token ||never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down||

[sick birch]

Not to be a stick in the mud but please be careful on who you give our your tokens to, just a word of advice

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

on my old pc

[regal pulsar]

the game is unoptimized

[slate swan]

lemme ssh rq

damn ip changed

[swift pumice]

bro

[slate swan]

oh wait it didnt

[swift pumice]

thats sus as hell

[slate swan]

im just dumb

[grim oar]

I use xmonad btw 😏

[slate swan]

Fair enough, I'm looking at building a RasberryPI cluster soon more out of bored than anything lol.

[slate swan]

do u want me to host ur bot for now or na

look mommy im a haxor

[pliant gulch]

You didn't even know how to use layout hooks

You had to ask me and I don't even use xmonad

[slate swan]

me being an average windows user:

[grim oar]

I wanna have 1% patience of gentoo users

[grim oar]

I now know all the fundamentals at least!

[pliant gulch]

Specs explain the resolution

[slate swan]

if u cant use ur pc for 3 hours u have a problem

[slate swan]

.

[grim oar]

I can but I don't think i have enough patience for compiling literally anything I install for hours

[slate swan]

ahem can you guys stop

[hollow badger]

@slate swan Please stop offering to host bots, and stop asking for people's tokens.

[terse coyote]

how to get client latency in discord.ui.button? i tried interaction.client.latency always 0

[grim oar]

Sure, I can already sense presence of a certain faker. Cya

[sick birch]

Really? That's strange, not documented behaviour

[slate swan]

packages take like a few seconds to minutes

[terse coyote]

class Ping(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, client):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @discord.ui.button(style = discord.ButtonStyle.gray, label = "Перевірити ще раз", emoji = "♻️")
    async def update(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        embed = discord.Embed(description = f"Пінг бота до серверів діскорду {round(interaction.client.latency)}")
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = False)
        self.value = True
        

class ping_command(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client


    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        view = Ping()
        embed = discord.Embed(description = f"Пінг бота до серверів діскорду {round(self.client.latency)}")
        await ctx.send(embed = embed, view = view)```

[sick birch]

Ah because it's in seconds

Usually bots will not have latency measured in seconds

[grim oar]

let's change the channel perhaps I don't wanna get banned again. Hehe

[sick birch]

Rounding is where the problem is as it's probably < 500ms/0.5s

so it gets rounded down to 0

[slate swan]

SAMEEEE

[sick birch]

What you should do is multiply interaction.client.latency by 1000 to get the latency in milliseconds, and send that instead

[slate swan]

i dont get whats wrong with offering to host peoples bots

[sick birch]

We can't be sure of your intentions of hosting or doing something potentially unwanted as you're not a reputable cloud service provider, to put it simply

[grim oar]

Against the rule so yeah follow it

[sick birch]

And as a word of advice, never give your token to any possible VPS that you don't 110% trust

[slate swan]

"no you can trust me im not like the other people"

[sick birch]

@terse coyote

latency = round(interaction.client.latency * 1000) # in milliseconds

[terse coyote]

thx!

Hi Nova ur back!!!

[slate swan]

how do i get user avatar url in a slash command

How can I make my bots prefix change every 10 seconds

I just want to make a list and shuffle through the prefixes from the list

[sick birch]

That sounds like a terrible design choice

[slate swan]

robin

[slate swan]

I know it's for a little game I'm making

how do i get user avatar url in a slash command

[sick birch]

Well if you really want to you can create a loop and do something like bot.command_prefix = 'something else'

[slate swan]

What loop though, while true would block all the code wouldn't it?

[sick birch]

Didn't mean a loop, my bad. A task

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[slate swan]

@sick birch

how do i get user avatar url in a slash command

[sick birch]

Can I help you?

[sick birch]

Depends on the library

[slate swan]

dpy 2.0.0

[sick birch]

interaction.user.avatar.url

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds = 20) # repeat after every 20 seconds
async def myLoop():
    # code here

myLoop.start() # can this go anywhere?

[sick birch]

Usually people will create a cog and start the loop in the cog's constructor

[slate swan]

I don't want to use cogs

or should I start the loop in the on ready

[sick birch]

class PrefixSwitcher(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self) -> None:
    ...
    my_loop.start()

  @tasks.loop(seconds = 20)
  async def my_loop() -> None:
    ...

[sick birch]

Not a good idea

You should be able to just start it in the global scope

[slate swan]

pk

[maiden fable]

Do I smell another scam free host? 👀

[sick birch]

It's been handled

[slate swan]

I can just use random to choose the prefix from the list right

[vocal snow]

'Oh' in message.content

[maiden fable]

Nice

[slate swan]

@sick birch should I use random.choice or secrets.choice?

[sick birch]

I'm not familiar with the latter

[slate swan]

it's just a cryptographically secure version of random

[sick birch]

If that's true, then in this case it doesn't matter and it's overkill

[slate swan]

yyeah

[maiden fable]

wym, a command prefix is highly sensitive how can u say its an overkill xD

[slate swan]

how do you guys even find such libraries

[vocal snow]

It's so sensitive. Id never let my users know my bot prefix!

[night crater]

you gradually become aware

I can guess it! it's gonna be / in a few months

[sick birch]

import <bang head into keyboard here> hey, that worked!

[maiden fable]

its also a stdlib, so ig u can find its mention in the Python docs too

[vocal snow]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/

[maiden fable]

Did that once and it actually worked for some reason

Think of any word and there is a huge possibility that lib exists

[vocal snow]

What didn't you understand

[maiden fable]

if "oh" in message.content.lower():
    . . .

[slate swan]

[vocal snow]

What was your jee score again nova

[grim oar]

I did not write that exam. Ot.

[sick birch]

You need access to the bot instance from the task loop

Most people will pass it into their cog, but you said you didn't want to use cogs so you'll need to figure out how to get access to the bot instance

[grim oar]

Ayo Mr helper, won't you ask them to stop ot-ing here perhaps.

[vocal snow]

Shut up nova

[grim oar]

I am hurt.

[slate swan]

can I just use globals?

maybe but globals are a bad idea

[vocal snow]

you guys have a love and hate relationship

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[vocal snow]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[grim oar]

!globals

[unkempt canyon]

When adding functions or classes to a program, it can be tempting to reference inaccessible variables by declaring them as global. Doing this can result in code that is harder to read, debug and test. Instead of using globals, pass variables or objects as parameters and receive return values.

Instead of writing

def update_score():
    global score, roll
    score = score + roll
update_score()

do this instead

def update_score(score, roll):
    return score + roll
score = update_score(score, roll)

For in-depth explanations on why global variables are bad news in a variety of situations, see this Stack Overflow answer.

[grim oar]

can't you use botvar

[slate swan]

I swear I've never used global ever, why does it even exist

[paper sluice]

ive used it before, when our school was teaching about scopes

[vocal snow]

It does have valid usecases

[slate swan]

Just use a class

[grim oar]

No use case at all, there are much better alternatives

[vocal snow]

It's kinda like metaprogramming in the sense that you should use it only when there aren't any alternatives

[grim oar]

There always are alternatives for globals and meta both

[vocal snow]

I miss yesterday when you weren't in this server

[slate swan]

elon = commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefix, intents=intents, case_insensitive=True)

@tasks.loop(seconds=20)
async def myLoop():
    prefix = random.choice(prefixes) # somehow make this accesible in the command_prefix above
   
myLoop.start()

[grim oar]

i will go back on my hiatus, was bored so joined the convo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[vocal snow]

You call random.choice(prefixes) in the command_prefix kwarg, then in the loop set bot.command_prefix

[slate swan]

class UwU:
  var: int = 10

uwu = UwU()

def func(score: int, deduction: int) -> int:
  uwu.var = score
  return score-deduction

def foo() -> int:
  return uwu.var

looks cleaner than a global

[slate swan]

just dm me if youre ever bored😉

[grim oar]

calling without initing 😋

[vocal snow]

🤨

[slate swan]

and your annotations could be better

[grim oar]

That sounds suspicious.

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

i have allot of cat memes what can i say

[vocal snow]

The return annotations aren't even necessary

[slate swan]

you arent necessary

@vocal snow do I literally just add the bot.command_prefix in the task loop or ?

[slate swan]

So when the task re-runs (after 20 seconds) the bot should have a different prefix right?

[vocal snow]

Yes

[slate swan]

that's so weird it seems like it's not changing after the task resets

[vocal snow]

Or maybe its just picking the same prefix

Print it out and see

[austere vale]

can someone help me with the underlined errors i have?

[paper sluice]

delete is not defined?

we can't see the error

[austere vale]

ohh

theyre both undefined

im just not sure what they're supposed to be

[grim oar]

messages.guild most likely

[slate swan]

okay it is picking the same prefix, how do I fix it ?

[vocal snow]

Are you calling random.choice in the loop callback?

[slate swan]

Loop callback? I just have random.choice(elon.command_prefix) in the task loop

[grim oar]

Bruh

[vocal snow]

Bruh

[grim oar]

elon.command_prefix = random.choice(prefixes)

[vocal snow]

That picks a random character from the existing prefix string

[slate swan]

Oh my

that would make sense....

```could someone help me?

[maiden fable]

Never knew Musk had a command prefix

[slate swan]

Does having a task loop mess up on_message events?

[maiden fable]

No

[grim oar]

messages is a list of Message objects, and Message objects have attribute guild

[grim oar]

Says how big of an alien he is after that swimming pool incident

[vocal snow]

Isn't looking through audit logs pointless if the event tells you which messages were deleted

[slate swan]

@elon.event
async def on_message(message):
    if elon.user.mentioned_in(message):
        await message.channel.send('I was pinged.')

when I run other commands it does nothing?

[slate swan]

Prefixes be like X Æ A-12

[vocal snow]

Having an on_message event like that will disable commands, if that's what you're asking

[slate swan]

So that's what's breaking the bot

[slate swan]

It overwrites the original on_message event handler

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[slate swan]

Hence your commands.. Add a process_commands method at the last

[austere vale]

so would it be messages.Message.guild.audit_logs?

[slate swan]

or I can just use a listen instead of an event?

[slate swan]

"messages is a list of Message objects" means ```py
messages = [Message(1), Message(2), Message(3)]

It's a list of multiple message instances

[austere vale]

how do i get access the messages part of the audit log then?

[slate swan]

How do you get an item from a list?

[austere vale]

you call array index ?

[slate swan]

Exactly

Do the same thing here

how do i get all dms from my bot, like when people dm my bot how do i get them to post into channel

!e ```py
messages = ['hi', 'hello', 'nevergonnagiveyouup']
print(messages[2])

or to iterate through each message

for message in messages:
... # do stuff with message

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

nevergonnagiveyouup

[slate swan]

does anyone know

[slate swan]

Use on_message listener and check if the message's channel is the bot's dm

[slate swan]

can u do a example in code please

[dry urchin]

why am I getting a git error when its in my path

[slate swan]

Do you know what is an event/listener?

[dry urchin]

@bot.command()

[slate swan]

You dont define both client and bot

You just need one of them

Preferably Bot, cause it supports commands extension

Yes

Initialise using Bot class and remove every instance of Client

[slate swan]

yes i know event listener tho not sure

[slate swan]

Create an on_message event to listen to messages the bot receives

In the event, check if the message.channel is a Dm channel

You still didnt remove your client

I hope you know enough python required to use this library. If not, prefer doing simple projects first before jumping right into dpy

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self, message):
    logchannel = self.client.get_channel(1001565362904629381)

@slate swan

Yes

Now check if message.channel is an instance of DMChannel

If it is, the message is received in your DMs. Then just log it into your log channel

now i dont understand.. @slate swan

[slate swan]

@slate swan got this ^?

[slate swan]

nope

Sorry I need to go soon its already midnight 💀 Share your issue here someone else might be able to help you out

[keen viper]

hi

how do i fix this?

i’m trying to make a discord music bot

[slate swan]

You have the message instance. You now need to check the channel type. How you do that?
Use isinstance() method to compare your message.channel and discord.DMChannel class. If it returns True that means the channel in which the message was sent is a DM Channel. Since the only possibility for the bot to receive a message in a DM Channel is it's own DM.
Now you know that the bot received a message in their DMs. Just send the content of the message to the required channel and you're done.

ok so

[keen viper]

what does that mean tho

[slate swan]

Read the embed

so

i need a if statement

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self, message):
    logchannel = self.client.get_channel(1001565362904629381)
``` can you just do the first part , please.

• Remove useless imports. You have many unused/double imports in your code
• The intents you defined is below your bot declaration. Also you need to pass intents in the constructor like Bot(intents=...) so do that too. Same reason why your Bot isn't receiving member events.
• The fetch_guild and fetch_channel are API calls and also async functions. Either await them, or even better just use get_guild and get_channel because it uses cache, saves you and API call.

[slate swan]

!d isinstance

[unkempt canyon]

isinstance

isinstance(object, classinfo)```
Return `True` if the *object* argument is an instance of the *classinfo* argument, or of a (direct, indirect, or [virtual](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class)) subclass thereof. If *object* is not an object of the given type, the function always returns `False`. If *classinfo* is a tuple of type objects (or recursively, other such tuples) or a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union) of multiple types, return `True` if *object* is an instance of any of the types. If *classinfo* is not a type or tuple of types and such tuples, a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised.

Changed in version 3.10: *classinfo* can be a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union).

Similar names: 2to3fixer.isinstance

[slate swan]

alright whats the oject and whats the classinfo

Uhh that's out of context for this channel but object is the instance of the object you need to check, and classinfo is/are the class/array of classes you need to compare your instance with

true

!e ```py
i = 10
print(isinstance(i, int))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[slate swan]

alright

tysm, i did it

[odd mango]

i have been trying to make a bot restart command

    @commands.command(name="restart")
    @commands.is_owner()
    async def restart(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Restarting bot...")
        await self.bot.close()
        os.execv(sys.executable, ['python'] + sys.argv)```

this is what i have and works perfect. but at discord.py place they say not to use os.execv

is there any alternative to do this

[austere vale]

sometimes it shows the right number of messages deleted, sometimes it doesnt. anyone know how to fix ?

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_bulk_message_delete(self, messages):
    embed=nextcord.Embed(color=0xfd9fa1, title='Bulk Message Delete',timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow())
    for Message in messages:
      async for entry in Message.guild.audit_logs(action =nextcord.AuditLogAction.message_bulk_delete):
        embed.description=f'Channel: {Message.channel.mention}\n{len(messages)} messages deleted'
    await self.bot.get_channel(933978399280599080).send(embed=embed)

[sick birch]

Sure, use any of those 7 or so alternatives mentioned in the post

[odd mango]

are there any examples?

because personally i dont know any of the methods

[sick birch]

Not that I know of, but they shouldn't be hard

For example systemd is a linux classic, included in many distros. You could start with that

[slate swan]

@sick birch AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'listen'
coming from my on message listen, I changed nothing im not sure why it's showing this

[sick birch]

Is it in a cog?

[slate swan]

No

[sick birch]

It should be @bot.listen() then

[slate swan]

yeah it is

@elon.listen('on_message')
async def pinged(message):
    if elon.user.mentioned_in(message):
        await message.channel.send('You mentioned me!')

[sick birch]

You're sure that's the right line?

[slate swan]

yeah it says line 36

[sick birch]

Could you send the definition for elon

Not sure why it's a Command object

[sick birch]

Do you have a command of the same name?

[slate swan]

Oh my god

that's why lmao 🤣

how did I forget about that

[sick birch]

Yeah prefix the command with a _elon, and use the name='elon' kwarg in the command constructor

[slate swan]

yeah

[sick birch]

@bot.command(name="actual_command_name")
async def some_random_command_name(...) -> None:
  ...

[slate swan]

what does the -> None: do?

[sick birch]

It's usually good practice to typehint everything, including the return type

Command handlers will usually always be -> None as they shouldn't return anything (even if they do, which they shouldn't, they'll be ignored)

[slate swan]

is it bad to not do it?

[sick birch]

It's.. not ideal

[slate swan]

Why so?

[sick birch]

You should always typehint everything when you can

Much easier for you as the developer and so you know what variables are of what types

Your IDE can also help you by suggesting possible methods and attributes so you won't have to refer to the documentation

[pliant gulch]

Make sure to have an actual working/get a type-checker otherwise you'll fall into a hole you'll never get out of

[slate swan]

Your code has many errors like:

• You're not using any entry you fetched from audit_logs. You can just remove the line and save an API call too..?
• Declaring a value to same variable in loop is equivalent to give it the last value directly. So that doesn't make sense either.

[austere vale]

oh

[grim hill]

Hello, i was wondering how i can save a message object in a json to remember it and load it again on initialization of my cog

It's for a system where people vote on the message to approve it so my bot needs to remember it

i am using discord.py

might be pycord

[sick birch]

Save the ID in your JSON. Though it might be better to use buttons instead and make the view persistent so you don't need a JSON

[grim hill]

i was thinking of reaction roles since i want to be sure that everyone votes once
it would only have 👍 👎
so if someone uses both it doesn't matter much

but do you have an example of how to save the id?

[austere vale]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_bulk_message_delete(self, messages):
    embed=nextcord.Embed(color=0xfd9fa1, title='Bulk Message Delete',timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(),description=f'Channel: {messages.channel.mention}\n{len(messages)} messages deleted')
    await self.bot.get_channel(933978399280599080).send(embed=embed)

what do i replace {messages.channel.mention} with to mention the channel properly?

[grim hill]

This is my code right now

import asyncio
from distutils.log import debug
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import json

class story(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

        # load saved message here in memory to check it for reactions
        

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        # Ignore ourselves
        if (message.author.bot):
            return
        # Ignore all messages except in the story channel
        if (message.channel.id != 1001566491335999599):  
            return  
        
        # add reactions to message and save it in json + lock channel

        await message.channel.send("Message sent!")

def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(story(client))
    print("story.py loaded")

[random portal]

is it giving an erro0r or no

[random portal]

yes messages is a list of discord.Message

try messages[0].channel.mention

[slate swan]

is there a possible way i can get more than one member like picked in a slash command example in ss but be able to pick more than ONE member

[austere vale]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_bulk_message_delete(self, messages):
    embed=nextcord.Embed(color=0xfd9fa1, title='Bulk Message Delete',timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(),description=f'Channel: {messages[0].channel.mention}\n{len(messages)} messages deleted')
    await self.bot.get_channel(933978399280599080).send(embed=embed)

do you know how to fix the len so that it properly shows how many messages were deleted?

[random portal]

hm

just bc u specified to purge 100 messages doesn't actually mean 100 messages will be purged

in the discord.py docs, its defined as The number of messages to search through. This is not the number of messages that will be deleted, though it can be.

maybe the purge command actually only deleted 4 messages?

[hybrid fjord]

any more than 1 parameter in dpy 2.0 slash commands won't come up on the bot. any idea why?

[slate swan]

is there a possible way i can get more than one member like picked in a slash command example in ss but be able to pick more than ONE member

[random portal]

idk if it works for slash commands but try commands.Greedy

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Greedy

[slate swan]

wait but how do i do that for members..

[austere vale]

no, i looked through and there were at least more than 4 messages deleted

maybe not 100 but i do think somethings wrong with my code bc it did purge more than 4

[random portal]

can u send ur code for the purge command

[wicked atlas]

I don't believe it's possible right now

[austere vale]

  @commands.command()
  async def purge(self,ctx,*,number:int=None):
    if ctx.message.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
      try:
        if number is None:
          await ctx.send('Gotta gimme a number of messages to delete.')
        else:
          deleted=await ctx.message.channel.purge(limit=number)
          await ctx.send(f'Messages purged by {ctx.message.author.mention}: `{len(deleted)}` (max is 100)')

[cold sonnet]

why would you save deleted

[grim hill]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        # Ignore ourselves
        if (message.author.bot):
            return
        # Ignore all messages except in the story channel
        if (message.channel.id != 1001566491335999599):  
            return

        message_id = message.id
        message_content = message.content

I want to add 2 reactions to the message (👍 👎) how do i do this?

it's for voting

i figured it out

i think i previously used a wrong name for the command

[random portal]

oh wait i know whats wrong

on_bulk_delete_message only returns cached messages i think

try using on_raw_bulk_delete_messages

[random portal]

await message.add_reaction
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=add_reaction#discord.Message.add_reaction

[wicked atlas]

Can you send the whole code for your class?

and as text, preferably

Bit confusing as to why you're creating a class inside of a function, but like the error says, it's expecting the custom_id parameter of your super.__init__() in your MyModal class to be a string, not an InputText

[austere vale]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_raw_bulk_message_delete(self, messages):
    embed=nextcord.Embed(color=0xfd9fa1, title='Bulk Message Delete',timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(),description=f'Channel: {messages[0].channel.mention}\n{len(messages)} messages deleted')
    await self.bot.get_channel(933978399280599080).send(embed=embed)

[random portal]

on raw bulk messsage delete doesnt return messages it returns a payload

Are you syncing properly?

[hybrid fjord]

i believe so

[slate swan]

how do u get a guild in a slash command? the member count

[pastel aspen]

Does this has_permissions() check if the user being banned has a rank above the author? Like if a helper tries to ban an admin for example, can they do that?

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason=None):
        if member == None or member == ctx.message.author:
            await ctx.channel.send("You cannot ban yourself")
            return
        await member.ban(reason=reason)
        emb = discord.Embed(title=f'O usuário {member} foi banido.', description=reason)
        await ctx.send(embed=emb)```

[sick birch]

No, it checks the permission of the person running the command

So if you've got ban_members permission, you can ban other people

            emb = discord.Embed(title=f'O usuário {member} foi banido.', description=f"Motivo: {reason}")
            await ctx.send(embed=emb)```

how can I make this check the highest role of both author and member being banned, and check if author has role higher than member? so that a helper wont ban an admin for example

[sick birch]

You can just assume that the user has the right permission to ban, and use a try/catch to catch a discord.Forbidden error

try:
  await member.ban(...)
except discord.Forbidden:
  await ctx.send("You don't have the necessarily permissions to ban that user.")

Not sure if that's the exact error but a quick look at the documentation will tell you

[indigo pilot]

Hey quick question,
https://i-stole-your.dog/8zAGQSlo so this is how you fetch a message in a channel right. what about a dmed msg tho?..

[pastel aspen]

but isn't the bot the one banning? wouldn't the ban work regardless of the role, since the bot is the one doing it?

[indigo pilot]

You can use .top_role

Example: if interaction.user.top_role.position =< user.top_role.position:

[hybrid fjord]

timeout user in dpy 2?

[pastel aspen]

this should work, right?

[hushed galleon]

Users/Members support the Messageable base class, including fetch_message(), so you just need the user object you want to fetch from

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

await timeout(until, /, *, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

You must have the [`moderate_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.moderate_members "discord.Permissions.moderate_members") permission to use this.

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

[indigo pilot]

Ohh,
so abc= get_member()
abc.fetch_message()
?

[hybrid fjord]

cheers

[indigo pilot]

Nvm got it, tyty

One more quick question tho

[pastel aspen]

does "ctx.message.author.top_role.position" get the author top role? is the syntax right?

[indigo pilot]

Why is this erroring?
https://discord-edating.com/rHp1GSWE
https://femboi.best/P1nGpFAf

https://discord-edating.com/CpfV6AIm

Ide bug or did i mess something up

[hushed galleon]

it should tell you specifically what its complaining about if you hover your mouse over the underlined lines

[indigo pilot]

You also need a check for people that are the same rank 😄

[indigo pilot]

I did, in the 2nd ss

Not sure what that means tho

Or why im getting it

https://femboi.best/zRL1MzxG

[hushed galleon]

that is a pretty poor error message

[pastel aspen]

<= ?

[indigo pilot]

Yea

[indigo pilot]

Lmao

[hushed galleon]

what its basically saying is that the view= parameter doesnt exist for TextChannel.edit()

[indigo pilot]

But.. it does right?

Unless docs lied to me 🙏

[hushed galleon]

you uh, need to store the Message object thats returned from fetch_message and edit that

[indigo pilot]

Oh my god

Im so dumb

I forgot to do post = on the middle line

I am so sorry 😭

Tysm for helping

[hushed galleon]

np you good

[pastel aspen]

what does this * means?

[ivory wraith]

to store user data (for example, a currency and trading bot where trades might take a while, and with buy and sell orders), what should I use? It's going to be a relatively small bot.

[pliant gulch]

In regular python when adding an asterisk inside of the function signature causes any arguments after that KEYWORD-ONLY. ```py
def foo(bar: str, *, baz: str) -> None:
print(bar + baz)

foo("Hello", "World!") # Error!
foo("Hello", baz="World!") # No error!
Strictly speaking in the context of discord.py, since the wrapper inspects the function signature to do "custom" (how the library wants it) parsing, it'll mean that the `member` argument in this case, consumes everything the user types, E.gpy
@commands.command()
async def foo(ctx: commands.Context, *, arg: str) -> None:
await ctx.send(arg)
``` Running it via !foo Hello World! will capture Hello World! (The full sentence) in the arg variable. Whereas doing it without the asterisks will produce an error since it didn't expect two inputs

[pastel aspen]

ah okay, thanks. Last question: and what about the /? like in this timeout command

[pliant gulch]

Forces until to be positional ONLY

So you cannot do timeout(until=...)

It has to be timeout(...) or else it'll error

!e ```py
def foo(bar: str, /) -> None:
print(bar)

foo("Hello World!")
foo(bar="Hello World!")

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Hello World!
002 | Traceback (most recent call last):
003 |   File "<string>", line 5, in <module>
004 | TypeError: foo() got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'bar'

[thorn grove]

How can i check if a sentence has a word(e.g. Bot)

[pastel aspen]

what does this mean in the context of this timeout example? do I need to make or call the function in a different way?

[thorn grove]

Anyone?

[pastel aspen]

I think

    @bot.event
    async def on_message(self, message):
        if "word" in message.content:
            await #do something```

[pliant gulch]

When doing await Member.timeout you have to call it positional only unless using reason

[white aurora]

if message.content=='bot'

[thorn grove]

thanks

guys

for some reason this doesnt work

line 17 to line 21

[thorn grove]

will i make another client?

but it still doenst work if i do so

SQLite is probably the easiest file based, so no servers. All on disk

[hushed galleon]

^ and its SQL, good for structured data which is what you'll mostly have with discord bots

[thorn grove]

anyone ?

[ivory wraith]

thanks I’ll try that

[thorn grove]

new code:

now it doesnt work

[sick birch]

msg.author == client.user will only work if the person sending the message is the bot itself

Should be msg.author != client.user

[thorn grove]

okay

[hushed galleon]

dont forget to use an asynchronous wrapper for sqlite like asqlite (also made by the author of discord.py), otherwise your event loop will be blocked during queries

[ivory wraith]

okay

[thorn grove]

guys

need help again

i want to ping the author of the message but it only shows the id

[indigo pilot]

Hey! Im back once again haha..
So i have a button, and its not running. I added print("hi") at the start of the code and it dosnt print. No errors

Any ideas?

class UserQuoteButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, channelvar):
        self.channelvar = channelvar
        super().__init__(label='Accept quote', emoji="📡", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id='agdczcs')
    async def cazzllbagssdgck(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print("running")```

[thorn grove]

do i use the name instead of the id?

[indigo pilot]

Thats not how u ping someone lol
A) <@{Id}> (bad way}
B) use something like member = get_member() then member.mention

[thorn grove]

how

the "B."

[indigo pilot]

1S

[thorn grove]

how would i put it in my code

[indigo pilot]

Msg.guild.get_member()

[thorn grove]

oh

[indigo pilot]

U need to set it to a var tho

[hardy yoke]

msg.author.mention should work fine without getting

[indigo pilot]

Oo yea ^^

That works, but to mention ppl in other things thats how u should do it, the way i said. Unless u can use ctx.author.mention ofc

[thorn grove]

thanks

yee it worked

tysm guys

[indigo pilot]

^

[indigo pilot]

Np

[thorn grove]

doesn't work

[hazy oxide]

if "bot" in message.content

[white aurora]

@bot.event
if message.content == ‘bot’:
await message.channel.send(‘hello’)

[hazy oxide]

Remove the ()

[slate swan]

If my bot is going to be in more than one server, is there anything specifically that was to be different?

[sick birch]

No, just make sure you don't hardcode any IDs or anything like that

[slate swan]

So doing like channel.send and ctx.send won't affect anything

[sick birch]

Those are context-dependant, so the channel and guild are completely different each time

[slate swan]

Yeah

what about tasks?

they won't effect anything right

[sick birch]

Nope

[dusky pine]

make sure your database tables are structured correctly :P

[slate swan]

not storing anything

[dusky pine]

ok then just do what robin said

[indigo pilot]

Anyone? Lol
im thinking its because im using sub classing and ive never done that before with discord.ui.Button so maybe the button code is wrong?

[sick birch]

Are you doing self.add_view(UserQuoteButton()) in your view?

[indigo pilot]

Yep

View is being added fine

[sick birch]

Also the callback has to be called "callback"

It also needs to have 3 arguments: self, the interaction, and the button

[indigo pilot]

?
async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):

That?
This cooldown is killing me 😭

[sick birch]

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
  ...

this is an ideal callback

[indigo pilot]

Ohh i never knew that it had to be called that, im dumb

" -> None:"
do i reallllly need this? 🙄

[slate swan]

Yes

[indigo pilot]

Mmm

Pain, gotta go thru all my views then and add it in

[sick birch]

No but you should always typehint when possible

[slate swan]

^ yes

[indigo pilot]

This bot has been worst then paypal api istg

[slate swan]

pp has an api?

[sick birch]

Well it doesn't need the typehint to be functional. To python, typehints are nothing more than # comments

[indigo pilot]

Yes don tget into it tho it will make u cry

[slate swan]

Okay...

[sick birch]

!e

def returns_integer() -> int:
  return "This actually returns a string even though the return type is supposed to be an integer"

print(returns_integer())

[unkempt canyon]

@sick birch :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

This actually returns a string even though the return type is supposed to be an integer

[slate swan]

Yeah

[indigo pilot]

I have 0 clue how that works

But okay LOL, th anks

[slate swan]

it's just like comments basically

[sick birch]

It doesn't

It's a recommendation on what the type of certain things should be

[slate swan]

Discord.py commands will always be None though right?

[sick birch]

The computer itself doesn't care about types, in fact, it has no concept of a "type". To it everything is a mess of 1s and 0s, so only statically typed languages will enforce the type

[pliant gulch]

Love that python added reveal_type as well to python 3.11

[sick birch]

discord.py doesn't care about the return of a callback

[indigo pilot]

Is it worth swapping to 3.11 yet? Lol

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
import typing

def foo(bar: str) -> int:
return int(bar)

typing.reveal_type(foo("132"))

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

Runtime type is 'int'

[sick birch]

You can still return something if you want:

@bot.command()
async def my_command(...):
  return "something" # discord.py doesn't care about this

[sick birch]

How come this wasn't possible before? Seems like it would, given we had the inspect library which also did on-the fly runtime analysis (unless it doesn't)

[pliant gulch]

Also new pep draft for typing in 3.12

[pliant gulch]

Uhhh why inspect?

Just type()

[sick birch]

Conceptually seems familiar, it's able to analyze different things about a function during runtime, like the types of parameters

Seems like if you could do that, you should also be able to get the actual return type of a function?

[sick birch]

🤔 what's the difference between that and reveal_type?

[pliant gulch]

Nothing

[thorn grove]

guys

how can i make it so it sents a message when the blocked text is in a message?

i tried putting await msg.channel.send("sus") top of the delete code(line 26) but it didnt work

[slate swan]

if msg.author != client.user is always true?

[thorn grove]

no

wait

i mean yes

[slate swan]

your checking if the message author is not equal to the user?

[thorn grove]

no

[slate swan]

that's what != means

[thorn grove]

if the a userr(not the bot) sent a message that is = to blocked(array of strings )

[thorn grove]

yeah

[slate swan]

what discord.py version are you on

@thorn grove try this instead.. str(msg.content).lower()

[hushed galleon]

thats a standard check most people write in on_message to ignore messages sent by the bot, which is what client.user means

[slate swan]

Yeah I looked it up after lol, it's just the connected client

[hushed galleon]

the code would seem to work if the send() came just before deleting the message, assuming it would have reached the delete() line in the first place

[slate swan]

I saw it was kinda buggy somewhere on stackoverflow

[hushed galleon]

@thorn grove id suggest putting print statements before the if statements and for loop to make sure your code actually gets to delete()

[thorn grove]

th code works

[slate swan]

what I suggested?

Or it already works.

[thorn grove]

i just want to make it send a message after the deletion

[slate swan]

Oh

[hushed galleon]

what happened after you added this line and tried sending your test message again?

[thorn grove]

doesnt work

doesnt delete the message

[hushed galleon]

was there an error in your console?

[thorn grove]

uhh wait

[slate swan]

Did you remove the await msg.delete() before adding in the channel send

[thorn grove]

no

i also wanna delete it

[thorn grove]

there no error

[slate swan]

did you put the channelsend under or above the delete?

[thorn grove]

above

it works now

turns out i misspelled something lol

[slate swan]

😭

[thorn grove]

sorry for wasting your time guys 😔

[slate swan]

how can i just get the client_status part from this

[thorn grove]

guys

nvm

too much questions for one day

was gonna ask what is the code on waiting for a certain amount of secs

[indigo pilot]

Hey, anyone got a idea of how i can get all the servers categories,
find a category called something specificly
then set the id of that category to a var. Not sure if theres a method to get all category info in a list but yea

[indigo pilot]

Await asyncio.sleep()

U gotta import a module tho, if ur using pycharm it will tell u what module else i think its called just asyncio

[humble otter]

Whats the best way to send a message into a channel in an on_reaction_add listener?

[indigo pilot]

Wdym?
On_reason_add
channel = reaction.guild.get_channel(yourchannelid)
channel.send(stuff)

Or if its the same channel
just reaction.channel.send()

Not sure if its called "reaction" but yk what i mean

[humble otter]

@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    if user != bot.user:
        if reaction.message.id in msgs_to_check and str(reaction.emoji) == "ℹ":
            msgs_to_check.remove(reaction.message.id)
            link = re.match(r"https://pcpartpicker\.com/list/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)", reaction.message.content)
            product_info = info(link)
            await reaction.message.channel.send(product_info)@bot.event

This is wat I tried

 RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Command.__call__' was never awaited
  await coro(*args, **kwargs)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

This was my error

[indigo pilot]

U forgot await, thats what it means

[humble otter]

Where though?

[slate swan]

yeah

[indigo pilot]

Good question

[humble otter]

I have an await

[slate swan]

probably the msgs_to_check.remove(reaction.message.id)

[indigo pilot]

[indigo pilot]

A

[indigo pilot]

Try the msgs to check.remove like we said above

[humble otter]

Ok let me try

[indigo pilot]

No

[humble otter]

Ignoring exception in on_reaction_add

TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

[indigo pilot]

It wouldnt be thatits a yea

Weird

[thorn grove]

i use import time amd use time.sleep

[indigo pilot]

This works too

[slate swan]

that'll block your bot, i'm pretty sure

[indigo pilot]

Oh

[thorn grove]

oh

[slate swan]

use asyncio sleep

time.sleep() stops the entire execution of the program. If you just want to delay one async response thread use asyncio.sleep

[humble otter]

Any other ideas?

[slate swan]

import asyncio

await asyncio.sleep(5) # sleep for 5 seconds

@thorn grove

[thorn grove]

thanks

[slate swan]

no problem have fun

[indigo pilot]

Have fun.
Please explain to me how

I would love to know this skill

[slate swan]

have fun while coding

[indigo pilot]

Yes
explain to me how i can gain this. As 12h of hell and 5 energy drinks is not fun

Lmao

Coding = pain

[slate swan]

😭

Not for me, some times I do feel like breaking my computer....

[indigo pilot]

Correction
if len(code) > 100.lines:
return(pain)

[indigo pilot]

LMao

[cold sonnet]

a 100 lines stops your abilities to have fun??

[indigo pilot]

Ive felt that way all day. Im at 31 views at the moment, and the amount of args i gotta pass thru is killing me

[indigo pilot]

Yes.

Anything below that is doable

[slate swan]

sad life youre living in

[humble otter]

Any other ideas how to fix my problem?

[indigo pilot]

Im at 600 rn, its killing
20 lines is a command the rest is all views

[slate swan]

👏

[slate swan]

seems like spaghetti code to me

[indigo pilot]

True

[slate swan]

what are you doing

[indigo pilot]

You would cry if you saw it

[indigo pilot]

Ticke tsyetem
You make ticket, req gets sent to artists, if accepted it disables all the buttons of the other quotes or questions

[thorn grove]

btw can i have multiple files for my bot

[indigo pilot]

Sounds simple but im dying

[thorn grove]

multiple python files

[slate swan]

depends

[indigo pilot]

Also is it just me or does nayone else lay there cogs out one cmd per file

Im so used to js, and its so much cleaner

[slate swan]

theyre mostly set by category but you do you

[thorn grove]

im hosting my bot in heroku and it only hosts the main.py file

[indigo pilot]

*heroku *

[thorn grove]

so i was thinking if adding a new .py file will work

[cold sonnet]

it should be pushed if it's in the branch innit

[humble otter]

Ok did print statement debugging with my code

The problem is this line msgs_to_check.remove(reaction.message.id)

and with that line I get this error

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Command.__call__' was never awaited
  await coro(*args, **kwargs)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

but when I add an await and make it await msgs_to_check.remove(reaction.message.id) I get

TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

So I have absolutely no idea what to do

[slate swan]

its a normal function which you called and it returns the result, which is None which ofc you tried to await the result(NoneType) and not a corourine object

[humble otter]

So then how would I fix that?

[slate swan]

you dont await it👁️ 👁️

[humble otter]

But then I get the first error

[indigo pilot]

Nvm just relised as i pasted whta the issue was oops

[slate swan]

i would need more info on that

[humble otter]

Here is all my code

@slate swan

[slate swan]

just rename the first info function

[humble otter]

Oh

that was easy

[indigo pilot]

https://femboi.best/v0kNY6rO Is this right? Im getting errored but im not sure if its bc of this or
specificly, the .name and .id part

[slate swan]

:3

[slate swan]

the error is?

[indigo pilot]

Traceback (most recent call last):

Im confused as it shouldnt be running that part of the code

[slate swan]

categorry is an int lol

[indigo pilot]

But thats the only thing with id

[indigo pilot]

Whaaat

No ?

https://i.leaked-your.info/82DQX8Cl

Categorry is each category, and im trying to just get the id of it

[slate swan]

yeah but it seems like its returning an int

OHHH wait

im just being dumb

[indigo pilot]

Thats me daily

Im still confused why its even running that tho lmfao

[slate swan]

you need to pass a category obj in TextChannel.edit

[indigo pilot]

Oh ncm

[ancient jolt]

im trying to run this code here: https://pastebin.com/bQ92zNFt, but once I run the command $timer 1s in my discord channel i get this error "discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: time is a required argument that is missing."

[indigo pilot]

Im dumb it should be running nvm

[indigo pilot]

Hm?

[slate swan]

in interaction.channel.edit(category=...)

[indigo pilot]

Ohhh

[slate swan]

you need to pass a category object and not an id because it accesses the id internally hence the attribute error, i shouldve read it lol

[silk fulcrum]

it'd be better if you showed full traceback

[ancient jolt]

wdym by that? its my first time coding a bot so

[cold sonnet]

no this is enough

he put self even though he shouldn't have

remove self from your arguments xen

[silk fulcrum]

ah

[cold sonnet]

you use that in classes only

[silk fulcrum]

yeah

[ancient jolt]

ah okay

[indigo pilot]

So sorry, but how do i do that? Ive only had to do that once and i forget 😭

I only remember like half of it lol

[slate swan]

just pass categoryy

[indigo pilot]

Wait oh

Im dumb holy shet

[silk fulcrum]

for example this is a full traceback

[ancient jolt]

ah

[silk fulcrum]

and this is what you sent

if that was your error

[slate swan]

you have to do $timer (amount of time) ?

[thorn grove]

my code doesnt work now

[ancient jolt]

i did do that, the issue was with the self part

as they had mentioned earlier

[thorn grove]

is it because i used 2 @client
event

[silk fulcrum]

you can create as many events as you want?

if they're not same of course

[austere vale]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_raw_bulk_message_delete(self, payload):
    length=0
    for message_id in payload:
      length=length+1
    embed=nextcord.Embed(color=0xfd9fa1, title='Bulk Message Delete',timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(),description=f'Channel: <#{payload.channel_id}>\n{length} messages deleted')
    await self.bot.get_channel(933978399280599080).send(embed=embed)

can someone help me? im not sure how to get the number of messages purged

[thorn grove]

the last @client.event only works

[slate swan]

are you coding on notepad ? holy

[thorn grove]

no

[silk fulcrum]

payload is not iterable, payload.message_ids is what you need in this case

[thorn grove]

github and pydroid

[austere vale]

how would i find the length of payload.message_ids

[thorn grove]

i used pydroid for that

[thorn grove]

whats wrong wuth the code ?

[slate swan]

len(payload.message_ids) ?

[silk fulcrum]

len(payload.message_ids)

[austere vale]

o

[silk fulcrum]

do u know python?

[slate swan]

who

[silk fulcrum]

not you

[austere vale]

im a noob with python

[slate swan]

It's okay.

[thorn grove]

i learnt mine in a book

[silk fulcrum]

then probably its early for a bot

[thorn grove]

by hywell carver

[silk fulcrum]

but idk

i cannot say anything

[slate swan]

Use @client.listen

[slate swan]

same😔

[silk fulcrum]

im just poop

[thorn grove]

where

[slate swan]

buddies?

[silk fulcrum]

why do you use 2 on_message events?

[thorn grove]

thats what i said

lol that maybe what caused it

[slate swan]

instead of using @client.event change it to @client.listen('on_message')

[austere vale]

that worked thank youuu

[thorn grove]

okay 👌

[silk fulcrum]

np

[slate swan]

master rejected my offer to be buddies😔

[silk fulcrum]

i didnt get it

[slate swan]

were both poop at python so we are frens

[silk fulcrum]

sorry, i thought it would be better to ignore

[slate swan]

🗿

[silk fulcrum]

oh bruh me dumbass

ok i dont mind :)

[slate swan]

fren

ImportError: cannot import name 'PartialMessageable' from 'discord.channel'
I've never gotten this, I think it might be because I have pycord and disnake installed too?

[silk fulcrum]

from discord maybe?

discord.abc

[slate swan]

but I don't even use that?

[silk fulcrum]

if there is a PartialMessageable class

then just remove it?

[thorn grove]

now its doesnt work

[slate swan]

my code doesn't even use that though

[silk fulcrum]

then maybe just remove that import?

[slate swan]

you forgot the quations around the on_message part

[thorn grove]

oh

[slate swan]

I am not importing, I'm getting that error when installing discord

[silk fulcrum]

😳

[silk fulcrum]

then probably your guess, i dont know for sure

[thorn grove]

still doesnt work

[slate swan]

you have to add a definition

[thorn grove]

@client.listen("on_message(msg)")

like that?

[silk fulcrum]

async def somename(msg)

[slate swan]

you have to declare the function 😩

[thorn grove]

oh lol

[slate swan]

@client.listen('on_message')
async def SOMENAME(msg) -> None:
   # do stuff

[thorn grove]

im just starting bot developing sorry

[silk fulcrum]

that's basics of python?

[thorn grove]

i know basics

[slate swan]

🤷

[slate swan]

fancy y9 with the return annotations, but no argument annotation🤵‍♂️ 😔

[slate swan]

Why.

why not🤵‍♂️

[thorn grove]

whats "SOMENAME"

[slate swan]

you can show them then 😭

its good especially for your linter

[slate swan]

👁️ 🐽 👁️

[slate swan]

you can change it to anything you want

[silk fulcrum]

literally some name

[thorn grove]

oh

[slate swan]

its the instance name

when you declare a function you make an instance of it named with the name given uppon the signature

[slate swan]

I don't think they understand that

me neither

[thorn grove]

error

[slate swan]

only discord.ext.commands.Bot has the method lol
