[vocal snow]

make sure you know basic python first 👍

[silk fulcrum]

noo disnake and pycord(

[paper sluice]

yea? it wouldn't help very much though, try print the label or something of the button which will help you locate the problem

[digital field]

any tips on how can I get the grip of hikari

[slate swan]

yea its hard to find things out
you can check this for a quick start

[digital field]

thnks man

what is REST API?

[dull terrace]

Not a great place to ask such a broad question, would take too long to explain

Best way to start is legitimately to Google "how to make a discord bot"

[vocal snow]

I disagree that would bring up lucas tutorials

[dull terrace]

I started with bad tutorials, gotta start somewhere

[vocal snow]

starting with bad tutorials makes things harder in the long run

better to start with python fundamentals and then the documentation

[dull terrace]

Where are the good starter tutorials though

The problem with starting with python fundamentals is that it saps your motivation, I would debate that it's better to jump in and actually see that you can make something badly

[vocal snow]

For python basics, Automate the Boring Stuff, PY4E are great

being stuck on an issue for weeks because you don't have the prerequisite knowledge to solve it is even more demotivating

[slate swan]

its like a Client Server data exchange medium, the client makes request to a server using GET, POST and PATCH etc methods and the Server processes it

discord.py'a REST api stuff is undocumented inside http.py in case you're wondering

await view.on_timeout() then?

Or is it

   . . .

you need to override on_timeout method of view class if you wanna do something when the view timeouts

mhm

[robust fulcrum]

My connection is good not bad

[slate swan]

class Myview(View):
    async def on_timeout(self):
       # stuff

[vale wing]

Replit con is bad as hell

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmmm
Any way to fix?

[vocal snow]

A good processor for fast opus encoding

[vale wing]

Get a VPS

[slate swan]

how will it get the view which I want ?

[robust fulcrum]

I dint have 💰

[vale wing]

Amazon AWS free 1 year

Oracle free tier

Azure free tier

[silk fulcrum]

            print(self.bombs)
            print(self.pos)
            print(self.is_bomb)
            print(self.bombs_around)
            self.label = str(self.bombs_around)
            print(self.label)``` now im confused even more... @paper sluice

[vale wing]

All those are blocked in Russia tho screw them

[silk fulcrum]

hehe)

[robust fulcrum]

Do digital ocean provide free vps?

Or Google

Idk how to host bot

[vale wing]

I have samovar server

[vocal snow]

you can get 200$ of digital ocean creds with github student developer pack

[vale wing]

Yeah but they give you 100$ for 2 months and that's all

[slate swan]

you need a credit card for any free vps you want to use

[robust fulcrum]

My school not gave me email ;-;

[vale wing]

I have guides, check my gists on github

[digital field]

@slate swan

[vale wing]

Google doesn't support individuals in some countries and they work similar to digital ocean although I don't know certainly

[robust fulcrum]

Guide is very confusing

[vale wing]

Which one exactly, I have 2

[robust fulcrum]

There is one only

[slate swan]

Possible to respond to an interaction which was sent and then bot turned off, then the bot would still respond to it

For now
If we send buttons with a message and turn off the bot and then turn it back on again it won’t respond to that interaction

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_view

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)```
Registers a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View") for persistent listening.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

Thanks

[slate swan]

Um what?

So if I just do

view.add_item(something)
await ctx.send(content=“something”, view=view)

The bot will respond to that button even when it is turned on and off?

[loud phoenix]

Have someone tried to automate TikTok uploading? I see some already done Python bots on that, but they require that you login manually, which destroys 90% of the purpose of automatic upload.

[vocal snow]

This channel is for discord bots specifically, you may want to claim a help channel for this: #❓｜how-to-get-help

[slate swan]

Is there any on_button_click or on_interaction event?

[vocal snow]

Which library are you using and what are you trying to do?

[slate swan]

discord.py 2.0

I’m trying to respond to a button which was sent before the bot turned off

[vocal snow]

You can just make a persistent view

[slate swan]

just for example
If you turn the bot off after sending a button
And then turn it back on it won’t send the response to that button sent last time

how?

[vocal snow]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[cold sonnet]

samandra you grinding for a day on vsc?

how much of that was coding?

[slate swan]

My discord 💀
It was on for many hours smh

21 💀

[slate swan]

Did what they said in the docs but the interaction fails when I turn the bot off and on again

[slate swan]

@vocal snow ^

[still swan]

Hello, its showing for me that there is /ping slash command but actually thats not true, its also showing in the menu when i type /, how i can disable that? may someone help me please?

[sick birch]

No and yes

Make sure you’re use add_view for persistent buttons

[hot prawn]

Psst off

[robust fulcrum]

Guys anyone give any command idea for my bot

[maiden fable]

A command to... make new commands

[cold sonnet]

command to change commands

[robust fulcrum]

Give any useful idea

[cold sonnet]

how is my idea not useful😭

[robust fulcrum]

Who would use that ;-; (sorry if my message hurt you )

[cold sonnet]

me

I'm gonna go home in 2 weeks and make that command

[cerulean shale]

Is it better to move on to nextcord from discord.py?

[robust fulcrum]

Hard to make

[cold sonnet]

practice

[cold sonnet]

no

absolutely no reason to

[robust fulcrum]

Dpy better

[cerulean shale]

Idk, nextcord is a fork taken from discord.py

[cold sonnet]

still no reason to

[cerulean shale]

And since discord.py is discontinued....

[robust fulcrum]

No

[cold sonnet]

it isn't

[cerulean shale]

Well ok ig

[cerulean shale]

Bruh it is 💀

[robust fulcrum]

Bruh

Go and see their server

[cerulean shale]

💀

[cold sonnet]

it's been being improved again

[cerulean shale]

Oh

[cold sonnet]

for more than half a year

[robust fulcrum]

Is ghost making 2.0 version then

[cerulean shale]

Ok then

[cold sonnet]

man you're late, missed much

[cerulean shale]

💀

Haven't been doing this stuff for almost a year, came back last week and saw his message

[cold sonnet]

pip<python version> install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

python version part optional

just put it there for people who can't put the right pip on path

[cerulean shale]

Oh

https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/4a2f62751b9600a31a0d3c78100287f1

I saw this like two days ago

[robust fulcrum]

How can I make a comand that can run js in discord.py?

[cerulean shale]

Ayo what 💀

[vocal snow]

https://github.com/engineer-man/piston

[slender hamlet]

uhmmm, I am not sure what you mean, but you can run cmd commands with os.system, so just do os.system("node index.js") (just replace it with whatever command you want)

[surreal walrus]

Can somone help /

[cerulean shale]

You gotta mention the role

In ()

[surreal walrus]

i put the id right ?

new to this and and confused

[rotund leaf]

You are missing one parameter while calling the function

[cerulean shale]

I think you should mention role

[cerulean shale]

Is it a moderation command? If yes then you can just use @commands.has_permission(permission name=True)

[surreal walrus]

yh its a gban command

[slate swan]

Imagine not spending money for hosting and buying AirPods Pro 💀

[slate swan]

@commands.has_role(“Admin”)

I assume you mean global ban from gban

[cerulean shale]

@commands.has_permission(ban_members=True)

[surreal walrus]

got it

[surreal walrus]

yh

[slender hamlet]

Did you check application_commands when adding the bot to the server?

[slate swan]

define it then

[slender hamlet]

from discord import app_commands

[slate swan]

why syncing in on_ready, that's so horrible

[shrewd apex]

make a command for syncing 👀

[slate swan]

"works" does not define good, use a setup_hook, a better example to yours, no offence, is -> https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#slash-command-application-with-a-client

[shrewd apex]

hmm sometimes on setup hook u may get sync called before on_ready error something similar i got that once then i switched to sync with commands

[slate swan]

that's literally not a thing

[shrewd apex]

wait a sec

[slate swan]

waiting

[shrewd apex]

i swear i got it lemme try to replicate

[slate swan]

I don't see issues

install dpy 2.0

[slender hamlet]

I didn't know about setup_hook before, a guy suggested it once, but since my code worked I was to lazy to change it, thanks for the advice tho, gonna keep the link ready just incase

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i try to create an command for a todo list. I have a txt file with some words. When I enter the command and a word the discord bot should delete the word from the txt file. ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
words= open("user.txt", "r")
if arg in words:
print("Check")
for line in words:
if arg in line:
line = line.replace(arg,"")
words.write(line)
words.close()

the txt file:

```txt
test

123

ping

But the bot dont delete the word

[slate swan]

the gist is in the pins second from the top

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#install-the-latest-version-for-discordpy

[slate swan]

dont use a txt file first of all
also read the file after opening it

[livid jacinth]

@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
    with open("user.json", "r") as f:
        read = json.read(f)

Like that?

[slate swan]

!d json.load

[unkempt canyon]

json.load

json.load(fp, *, cls=None, object_hook=None, parse_float=None, parse_int=None, parse_constant=None, object_pairs_hook=None, **kw)```
Deserialize *fp* (a `.read()`-supporting [text file](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-text-file) or [binary file](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-binary-file) containing a JSON document) to a Python object using this [conversion table](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json-to-py-table).

*object\_hook* is an optional function that will be called with the result of any object literal decoded (a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "dict")). The return value of *object\_hook* will be used instead of the [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "dict"). This feature can be used to implement custom decoders (e.g. [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org) class hinting).

*object\_pairs\_hook* is an optional function that will be called with the result of any object literal decoded with an ordered list of pairs. The return value of *object\_pairs\_hook* will be used instead of the [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "dict"). This feature can be used to implement custom decoders. If *object\_hook* is also defined, the *object\_pairs\_hook* takes priority.

[slate swan]

smh read the docs

[livid jacinth]

Okay but how can i check if the word is in the file and can delete the word from the file?

[slate swan]

if "word" in data:
data.pop("word")
write_to_file(data, file)

nice

[shrewd apex]

raise Missing applicationID

discord.app_commands, errors. MissingApplicationid: Client does not have an application id set. Either the function was called before on ready was called or application id was not passed to the Client constructor.

[maiden fable]

2.0 publishing soon™️

[shrewd apex]

nice

[livid jacinth]

@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
    with open("user.json", "r") as f:
        read = json.load(f)
        if arg in read:
            read.pop(arg)
``` so?

[shrewd apex]

but they make embeds unhashable for eq idk y

[maiden fable]

Wym

Never really had time to get into programming since a few months now

I am missing out all the new stuff that's been happening

[shrewd apex]

mean embed object cannot be used as dict key and added in a set

bummer i was doing it for paginator

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i try to create an command for a todo list. I have a json file with some words. When I enter the command and a word the discord bot should delete the word from the json file. ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
with open("user.json", "r") as f:
read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.pop(arg)

[cerulean shale]

i changed the bg.jpg and i am getting this error

[shrewd apex]

and instead of the they added __eq__

[cerulean shale]

pls help

[maiden fable]

What is even the use of __eq__ in embeds

Why u even wanna compare embeds

[shrewd apex]

why u ask me idk go ask danny 🗿

[cerulean shale]

anyone 🥲

[maiden fable]

Mind sharing the code for that dunder? My, uhhh, net is a little.... fucked rn

[shrewd apex]

what u gonna compare to embeds for in first place i have no idea

[shrewd apex]

example they didn't give any example

[maiden fable]

Lemme see the code and check what they even comparing

[cerulean shale]

bruh ;-;

[maiden fable]

no file with the name bg.jpg

[cerulean shale]

i have it

[maiden fable]

Its probably in a folder

U r searching the root directory

[shrewd apex]

basically implement eq mean they want us to compare like discord.Embed() == discord.Embed()

[maiden fable]

Nice

[cerulean shale]

it was working earlier tho

[maiden fable]

os.listdir()
Print this

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i try to create an command for a todo list. I have a json file with some words. When I enter the command and a word the discord bot should delete the word from the json file. ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):

read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.pop(arg)

But i get this error ```discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer ```

Json file:```json
[
    "test"
]

[maiden fable]

Wait, @shrewd apex if they made it unhashable, that means u won't be able to use it as a list element anymore, right?

[shrewd apex]

list doesn't hash

[maiden fable]

Hm, I am mistaken then

[shrewd apex]

what's this Editor is it like some 3rd party lib of pil

from which lib is this?

[maiden fable]

Nice __eq__

[cerulean shale]

easy_pil

[shrewd apex]

yeah they made dunder for == as i said

[cerulean shale]

https://pypi.org/project/easy-pil/

[shrewd apex]

huh pil is easy what's this easy_pil now might as well just use pil

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[shrewd apex]

any benefits?

[cerulean shale]

dk bruh, i followed a vid

[maiden fable]

Lucas?

[cerulean shale]

and it has been working for a while now

[cerulean shale]

civo ig

[maiden fable]

Nvm

[shrewd apex]

ok pil gonna go major updates soon u might want to switch as well

[maiden fable]

What updates?

[cerulean shale]

ight i will try ig

[mossy jacinth]

I'm now completely confused because, I added letters to every field possible but it still says the same error

[shrewd apex]

idk if this easy pil gonna keep

[shrewd apex]

quite a few along with 3.11 they deprecating prev Image filters gonna add something like Resampling next year around

[maiden fable]

O

[cerulean shale]

nvm it works now 💀

anyways i will try pil, thx for the info

[cerulean shale]

pil and pillow are different right?

[shrewd apex]

my hunch either the roles or permlist empty

[maiden fable]

iirc pillow is a continued fork of pil

[shrewd apex]

yes

pil now deprecated

[cerulean shale]

ight thx man

[shrewd apex]

it's pillow now

[shrewd apex]

✅

[limber bison]

how can i add author in embed = discord.Embed
not vai embed.add_author\

[junior verge]

How do I fix this?

[maiden fable]

u forgot to await it

await client.load....

[junior verge]

I get that yeah

[junior verge]

@client.command()
async def load(ctx, extension):
    client.load_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

@client.command()
async def unload(ctx, extension):
    client.unload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
``` for all 3?

[maiden fable]

mhm

why, are you not able to share an error?

interaction.user

[mossy jacinth]

Yes, its the roles; if someone has no roles its basically empty thats why, but how can i check if the user has any roles? And if not, send a other embed?

[junior verge]

@client.command()
async def load(ctx, extension):
    await client.load_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

@client.command()
async def unload(ctx, extension):
    await client.unload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

    for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if filename.endswith('.py'):
            await client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
``` my bot doesn't respond to anything lol or am I doing something wrong

[maiden fable]

U never send anything

[junior verge]

wym?

getting no errors nothing

[maiden fable]

u never do await ctx.send() or smth, so u never get a response

[junior verge]

thats not all my code

just the things in my cogs etc

It just doesn't respond to my cogs

Nor my main file

[maiden fable]

wym doesn't respond bro

[junior verge]

I just do do the command .ping for example but the bot gives no response nor error in the console

[maiden fable]

Can u print bot.commands?

and see if all the commands are there

also show yr error handler

[glad cradle]

the for block must be unindented

as it is now your cogs will only be loaded by running the command unload

[junior verge]

I indented it, because of this

[mossy jacinth]

how can i check if a user has at least one role?
Like if the member has at least one or more roles DM him but; if the member has No roles send a message into the chat?

[glad cradle]

you don't need await

[mossy jacinth]

if ctx.author is ctx.guild.owner:

i think

[maiden fable]

Since 2.0, u need to await

[junior verge]

I use 2.0 yes

[glad cradle]

he's using 2.0?

[junior verge]

Why not?

[slate swan]

skill issue

[maiden fable]

Yah

[shrewd apex]

nonono that discord being discord issue it worked fine in another bot now mess up on a sample bot

[slate swan]

There's no downside, it's good to be stay up-to-date

[junior verge]

Yeah

[slate swan]

yes skill issue

[shrewd apex]

💀

[slate swan]

rip i cannot even type properly cuz knew keyboarddd

[junior verge]

But do I need to await it or not?

[maiden fable]

Ignore her, she has those so she feels like everyone has one

[shrewd apex]

yes

[slate swan]

you got to

[junior verge]

so ignore this?

[slate swan]

otherwise it wont work

no?

[maiden fable]

change def name to async def name

[slate swan]

that code wont even run without a non-zero status code so

[slate swan]

and call it using asyncio, or just use a setup_hook

[junior verge]

Where?

[maiden fable]

wait wait wait

[junior verge]

im confused sorry

[maiden fable]

Its a command, why tf do u not have an async command function

[slate swan]

it's a command?

[junior verge]

its old code

[slate swan]

if it was dpy would have raised ajn error

[maiden fable]

At the top lol

[junior verge]

just trying to load cogs in dpy 2.0

[maiden fable]

make it async def unload

[junior verge]

It has it?

[maiden fable]

Yr error says otherwise

[junior verge]

@client.command()
async def load(ctx, extension):
    await client.load_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

@client.command()
async def unload(ctx, extension):
    await client.unload_extension(f'cogs.{extension}')

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        await client.load_extension(f'cogs.{filename[:-3]}')
``` this is just what I got

[maiden fable]

Indent goes brrrrrrrrrr

[junior verge]

idk man its old code idek

[maiden fable]

Indent was the same, be it old or new

[junior verge]

How does it need to be then lol

[maiden fable]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[junior verge]

I know what indent is yes

[slate swan]

anyone know how i could check if i had any dms with a user when they dm the bot
like if the bot said anything

[maiden fable]

!d discord.DMChannel

anyone know how i could check if the bot had any dms with a user when they dm the bot

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i try to create an command for a todo list. I have a json file with some words. When I enter the command and a word the discord bot should delete the word from the json file. ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
with open("user.json", "r") as f:
read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.pop(arg)

But i get this error ```discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer ```

Json file:```json
[
    "test"
]

[shrewd apex]

ok ur req sound very strange to me wdym
** if i had any dms with a user**
and they dm bot
so they stop dm with u talk to bot and dm bot and bot reply to them

[slate swan]

cuz i only want the bot to respond to them once and if they dm them again it won't respond

[shrewd apex]

how the bot gonna know they talk with u or not u talk in a bot monitored channel?

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    
    async def on_ready(self):
        for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):

                try:
                    await client.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
                    print(f"Loaded {filename}")
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"Failed to load {filename}")
                    print(f"[ERROR] {e}")
``` shouldn't this work too?

[shrewd apex]

horrible don't do this

[sick birch]

Looks like you’re on 2.0, why not use setup hook?

[shrewd apex]

first of all add prefix intents in init

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i try to create an command for a todo list. I have a json file with some words. When I enter the command and a word the discord bot should delete the word from the json file. ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
with open("user.json", "r") as f:
read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.pop(arg)

But i get this error ```discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer ```

Json file:```json
[
    "test"
]

Can anyone help me pls?

[shrewd apex]

bot won't start otherwise

then use the setup hook as Robin said

[junior verge]

@bronze jackal

[sick birch]

Pop takes an integer

[hazy needle]

hey, any1 can help me? im using replit to this rn, but this dont run

[sick birch]

If you want to remove by string, use remove

[sick birch]

Give it time

[shrewd apex]

what don't run its shows its running have some patience

[junior verge]

Idk just trying to load cogs thats all on 2.0

[sick birch]

Okay, well use setup hook

[shrewd apex]

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix="!",  intents=discord.Intents.all())
    
    async def load_cogs(self):
        for filename in os.listdir("./cogs"):
            if filename.endswith(".py"):
                try:
                    await client.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
                    print(f"Loaded {filename}")
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"Failed to load {filename}")
                    print(f"[ERROR] {e}") 
 shouldn't this work too?
     async def setup_hook(self):
          await self.load_cogs()

the indents

fucked up

[junior verge]

yeah but I got my prefix and intents here if you get me

[slate swan]

how would i check if the bot sent any messages

[hazy needle]

that just stop

[shrewd apex]

eh i can't do indents on phone

[sick birch]

You’d check the length of the DMChannel history, if it’s greater than 0, there has been messages

[shrewd apex]

what u subclassing for then

[hazy needle]

later of this dont run

[slate swan]

but i want to see if i sent any not the user

[junior verge]

It was an example code

[sick birch]

Then apply a filter

[slate swan]

how would that look like

[hazy needle]

tf is the problem

[shrewd apex]

async def main():
     async with bot:
         await load_cogs()
         await bot.start(token)
asyncio.run(main())

[sick birch]

!d filter

[unkempt canyon]

filter

filter(function, iterable)```
Construct an iterator from those elements of *iterable* for which *function* returns true. *iterable* may be either a sequence, a container which supports iteration, or an iterator. If *function* is `None`, the identity function is assumed, that is, all elements of *iterable* that are false are removed.

Note that `filter(function, iterable)` is equivalent to the generator expression `(item for item in iterable if function(item))` if function is not `None` and `(item for item in iterable if item)` if function is `None`.

See [`itertools.filterfalse()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.filterfalse "itertools.filterfalse") for the complementary function that returns elements of *iterable* for which *function* returns false.

Similar names: django.filter, label.filter, 2to3fixer.filter

[shrewd apex]

do this instead of bot.run

Can someone help me?

[silk fulcrum]

len(member.roles)

[shrewd apex]

len(CTX.author.roles)

[slate swan]

yep, according to asher, setup hook is inexistent

[shrewd apex]

yeah so ashley gonna explain u the whole process

[hazy needle]

pls help

[silk fulcrum]

yeah so asher will explain what's the problem in my code

[shrewd apex]

wait lemme see

[silk fulcrum]

he actually will?

😳

[shrewd apex]

recursion depth is 996 iirc so if u exceed that rip

wait reading

[quaint epoch]

!d sys.setrecursionlimit

[unkempt canyon]

sys.setrecursionlimit

sys.setrecursionlimit(limit)```
Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to *limit*. This limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the C stack and crashing Python.

The highest possible limit is platform-dependent. A user may need to set the limit higher when they have a program that requires deep recursion and a platform that supports a higher limit. This should be done with care, because a too-high limit can lead to a crash.

If the new limit is too low at the current recursion depth, a [`RecursionError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RecursionError "RecursionError") exception is raised.

Changed in version 3.5.1: A [`RecursionError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RecursionError "RecursionError") exception is now raised if the new limit is too low at the current recursion depth.

[shrewd apex]

i hit that limit in codewars

when one lining some kata

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#fundamentals-for-this-gist

already explained

[hazy needle]

@shrewd apexcan u help me? see the other imagen

[golden tapir]

how can i make my discoed bot move a channel to a catagory on a message

[shrewd apex]

you have no flag to stop the recursion so open() is being called infinitely make a sort of disabled flag and return on that flag being true currently it's just calling open again and again

[shrewd apex]

no errors?

[hazy needle]

no, that dont show errors

[shrewd apex]

are the dependencies installed?

wait wtf are u actually trying to just run poketwos bot after cloning it?

u know poketwos resources are scattered all over the place also u can't just randomly clone a repo and expect it to work

[hazy needle]

the name is just a reminder about the bot, really the commands are differents

[shrewd apex]

so u coded those cogs so that all have same name as poketwo🗿

u prolly urself don't know what are even tokens needed to run all those cogs like mongo creds redis creds etc

the resources for the db the images emojis

half them are not even on that repo

they are scattered in different repos

[golden tapir]

how can i make my discod bot move a channel to a different catorgaory on a message

[sick birch]

!d discord.TextChannel.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.edit

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

Edits the channel.

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

Changed in version 1.3: The `overwrites` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 1.4: The `type` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited channel is returned instead...

[golden tapir]

i read it

how would i use it

[slate swan]

that's so horrible Asher

[golden tapir]

      await channel.edit(category=1008790693327675463)

[slate swan]

await channel.edit(category=category_channel_object)

[golden tapir]

would that work

[shrewd apex]

kek and that's not all it's not written in python throughout either some parts are written in rust and a few other langs

[golden tapir]

@slate swan would this wok

[vocal snow]

what types does that kwarg accept?

[golden tapir]

let me see

[vocal snow]

CategoryChannel

[shrewd apex]

no one saw anything 👀

[vocal snow]

it accepts Snowflake though

[golden tapir]

i am confused

the code i wrote doesnt work

      await channel.edit(category=1008790693327675463)

[sick birch]

Most API methods accept a snowflake because on a lower level that’s what’s sent over the API

I’m willing to bet you can send a message with just an object, but discord.py prevents you from doing so because the type of a snowflake is unknown

[vocal snow]

it doesn't accept int, you should put the id in a discord.Object and pass that

[golden tapir]

discord object

?

like a variable?

[vocal snow]

hmm?

!d discord.Object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Object

class discord.Object(id, *, type=...)```
Represents a generic Discord object.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to create ‘miniature’ versions of data classes if you want to pass in just an ID. Most functions that take in a specific data class with an ID can also take in this class as a substitute instead. Note that even though this is the case, not all objects (if any) actually inherit from this class.

There are also some cases where some websocket events are received in [strange order](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/21) and when such events happened you would receive this class rather than the actual data class. These cases are extremely rare.

x == y Checks if two objects are equal.

x != y Checks if two objects are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the object’s hash.

[slate swan]

jesus, get some help

[vocal snow]

makes sense to have some parts in rust for efficiency!!

[shrewd apex]

it not even in main code tho 🗿 it just feels it was written to annoy PPL who try copying the whole code

[slate swan]

I mean I understand the idea why using different languages but all that for a discord bot

[golden tapir]

how would i implement this

a discord class

[slate swan]

git clone Asher/main

[golden tapir]

i am not good at classes

[vocal snow]

discord.Object(918291892819219219)

[golden tapir]

so

[slate swan]

category=discord.Object(id)

[shrewd apex]

me keep my source private

[slate swan]

I took that wrong for a sec

[shrewd apex]

i meant it wrong that way

u thought correct

great minds think alike

[vocal snow]

you'll need to know about them, if you're interested check out https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTsqhIuOqKhwlXsIBIdSeYtc or https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#class-objects

[golden tapir]

ok

can u send me the links in dms

@vocal snow can u send me th links in dms

[slate swan]

so do mischievous ones

[hazy needle]

who here know make bots about pokemon, i need help in a commands, well i need the command for spawn

[shrewd apex]

just copy smh

[vocal snow]

what have you tried

and what isn't working

[shrewd apex]

the whole poketwo bot

[golden tapir]

why error

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
  channel = str(message.channel.name)
  user_message = str(message.content)
  if channel == "juan-request":
    if user_message != "":
      new_name = "test"
      await channel.edit(name=new_name)

[vocal snow]

channel = str(message.channel.name)

channel is a string, not a TextChannel

[silk fulcrum]

what? but there is an if check?

[vocal snow]

you need to remove the current MinesweeperButton from the result of .nums_around

oh nums_around is not a method

but you get what im saying

[silk fulcrum]

n-n-no... im not-t?

wdym remove current button from nums_around

[vocal snow]

you're calling self.open() essentially

self.view.children[n] is self for some iteration

[silk fulcrum]

what? how?

but nums around dont containt number it self

for 0 its 1, 5, 6

no 0 in there

[vocal snow]

assert self.view.children[n] is not selfand see

[silk fulcrum]

is not works here?

[vocal snow]

why not

[silk fulcrum]

ok

Um, actually nothing changed ig

[vocal snow]

make sure you assert before calling open()

[silk fulcrum]

i hope im not that stupid

still same error, still interaction error

[vocal snow]

wasnt it a recursionerror

[silk fulcrum]

it was

[vocal snow]

can you send the stuff again i lost it

[silk fulcrum]

#discord-bots message

[vocal snow]

ok so take a button with pos 24 for eg

it will call open() for pos 23

which will call pos 24

and so on

[silk fulcrum]

if they're both zero's right?

[vocal snow]

if self.bombs_around is 0 for both yes

[slate swan]

hello, i need help with this issue,

im using rapptz discord.py for my discord bot and it keeps saying

"Member" has no attribute to "avatar_url"

please help.

    	member1 = ctx.author

    	channel = ctx.channel

    	try:
    		view = discord.ui.View()

        color = 0xfaa61a))```

[vale wing]

avatar.url

[slate swan]

ctx.author.avatar.url there is a different error

    raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'url'```

[heavy swift]

You're using 2.0.0a right?

[slate swan]

im not sure, how do i check?

[heavy swift]

if you're not sure then it's most likely a no but you can check by printing discord.__version__

if it's 1.7.3 you can upgrade by pasting pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py into the terminal

[slate swan]

yes im using 2.0.0

[heavy swift]

I'm reviewing ur code again, but in the meantime, I assume u have the members intent

[vocal snow]

then they don't have a custom avatar

you should use display_avatar attribute

[slate swan]

ctx.author.display_avatar.url

[slate swan]

@vocal snow is this correct?

[vocal snow]

ye

[slate swan]

alr thanks

[gloomy field]

are people still generally using discord.py after they resumed development? or are there other forks or libraries that people seem to prefer? i have a few bots i've been developing using discord.py and wondering if there's any good reason to switch now that development is continuing?

[sick birch]

Discordpy going out of business gave the other forks and libraries a standing chance. Before they were practically unheard of and nobody used them. Now we actually have choices. A good reason you would use something other than discord.py is you don’t trust the longevity of it anymore. Going out and coming back in made a lot of people lose trust that will take work to earn back. Some people prefer the implementation details, or just for a change. I suggest try them out and see what you like, but there are a lot more resources for dpy and people helping (myself included, I primarily help with dpy)

[gloomy field]

got it, thanks appreciate the context. is there a fork or library you feel stands out a bit? i've read some decent things about pycord, and i like that it seems the syntax is pretty much the same. also read some good things about hikari but not sure if i want to dig into a completely different library yet

[sick birch]

I don’t know where you read that pycord was good but I assure you it’s not. It has a lot of issues, most can be dealt with. The toxic community is a pretty big turnoff. Hikari, as you know, is completely different. The biggest fork at the moment is disnake, followed by nextcord

But personally, I don’t see any reason to switch

[gloomy field]

haha ok thanks for pointing that out. granted i haven't done a lot of digging yet, but happened to see it recommended in a few stack overflow answers and the docs looked decent at first glance

i'll check out disnake and hikari but i'll likely end up sticking with discord.py until i find a reason not to

[livid jacinth]

Hey, i try to create an command for a todo list. I have a json file with some words. When I enter the command and a word the discord bot should delete the word from the json file. ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
with open("user.json", "r") as f:
read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.remove(arg)
print("123")

Json file:```json
[
    "test"
]

But the bot dont delete the word. Can anyone help me pls?

[vocal snow]

you need to dump the updated dict to the file

!d json.dump

[unkempt canyon]

json.dump

json.dump(obj, fp, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None, default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw)```
Serialize *obj* as a JSON formatted stream to *fp* (a `.write()`-supporting [file-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-file-like-object)) using this [conversion table](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#py-to-json-table).

If *skipkeys* is true (default: `False`), then dict keys that are not of a basic type ([`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str"), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "int"), [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float"), [`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "bool"), `None`) will be skipped instead of raising a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError").

The [`json`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#module-json "json: Encode and decode the JSON format.") module always produces [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") objects, not [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. Therefore, `fp.write()` must support [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") input.

If *ensure\_ascii* is true (the default), the output is guaranteed to have all incoming non-ASCII characters escaped. If *ensure\_ascii* is false, these characters will be output as-is.

[livid jacinth]

Okay but i dont know how i have to use json.dump

[vocal snow]

^

obj is the dict, fp is the file object (which you can get with open())

[livid jacinth]

So?

@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
    with open("user.json", "r") as f:
        read = json.load(f)
        if arg in read:
            read.remove(arg)
            print("123")
            json.dump(read, f)

But i get now this error discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnsupportedOperation: not writable

[vocal snow]

because you're opening in read mode

you need to open in a writable mode

[left idol]

is it possible to pass self to @discord.ui.select's options?

[livid jacinth]

So? py with open("user.json", "w+") as f:

[sick birch]

No, but it looks like you’re looking for a more dynamic solution. You should consider subclassing

See my example in the discord.py repo

Should be under “views” and is called “dropdown.py”

[left idol]

alright, thank you!

[slate swan]

can some one make me a discord bot or help

[vocal snow]

how can we help

[livid jacinth]

My Bot delete now every word :c ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
with open("user.json", "w+") as f:
read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.remove(arg)
print("123")
json.dump(read, f)

[slate swan]

because im pretty sure the mode is a+ for appending and reading

write deletes everything in the file and passes what you provided

[livid jacinth]

Ah okay

Now the bot delete nothing

[slate swan]

yes?

[livid jacinth]

Yes

I dont know why

Thats weird ig

[vocal snow]

use r+, seek and truncate

[vocal snow]

a+ will have the pointer at the end to begin with so the load will fail

[slate swan]

yeah

i checked stack and the methods to remove a line in a file are quite interesting

[livid jacinth]

When i use a+ my bot copy another word ```py
@bot.command()
async def v(ctx, arg):
with open("user.json", "r+") as f:
read = json.load(f)
if arg in read:
read.remove(arg)
print("123")
json.dump(read, f)

[vocal snow]

seek to 0 and truncate after loading

or just open twice

[livid jacinth]

I dont know what do you mean. could you show me it please

?

[vocal snow]

with open("user.json", "r+") as f:
    data = json.load(f) # moves pointer to end
    f.seek(0)   # move to beginning
    f.truncate()   # remove everything

    # mutate data

    json.dump(data, f)  # dump new data

[livid jacinth]

 f.truncate()
``` but i dont want remove everything

[vocal snow]

yes you do

so that you can dump the new data

after editing it

otherwise you will have old data and new data in json file

[livid jacinth]

Ahhh thank you this work < 3

[slate swan]

How can I make it so that only a specific role can use a command?

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

        super().__init__()
        self.add_item(Dropdown(difficulty))

so after subclassing my select menu, im getting that options is referenced before assignment so did i not handle it correctly?

i define options based on the difficulty i have inputted

i tried with my code but it didn't work so i'm working off of the example

[sick birch]

Hey that looks familiar! Is this where the error is?

Or is it with your own code?

[left idol]

i tried to make the select menu dynamic following your example but i'm getting an error with super().__init__(placeholder='Choose your favourite colour...', options=options)

i think in my code it was the same problem

[sick birch]

Maybe the difficulty is not 1 or 2

[left idol]

i also tried having an else statement that also changes it but it gave the same error

oops not same error

it just went to the else statement

[sick birch]

What other error do you get if the else statement also defines the options?

[left idol]

correction, i didn't get an error it just ignored my first if statement

so its giving me the numbers option always

[sick birch]

So it works as expected with an else?

[left idol]

no matter what i input it with an else statement, it always gives me the option that is in response to the else statement

even with 1 as my difficulty it will skip to the else statement

idk if that makes sense what i just said

[sick birch]

It does, how are you defining difficulty?

I have a hunch on what the issue might be

But I can't be sure without more information

[left idol]

uh what do you mean, in my slash command difficulty is just a command argument and for the views i just have it defined in init

so in my View class self.add_item(Dropdown(difficulty))

and in my command its view = DropdownView(difficulty)

should i be referring to it as self.difficulty

[sick birch]

What type is it?

I see how you're passing it down up from your command down to your dropdown, but I'm concerned with it's datatype at the top level slash command handler

[left idol]

uhh do you mean what type difficulty is? its an integer

@bot.slash_command(description = 'aaaa')
async def whatthe(ctx, difficulty: int):
    view = DropdownView(difficulty)
    await ctx.send('aaaahhhhh', view=view)

[sick birch]

I'm not sure how your library of choice handles this (it's not d.py from what I can tell) so try printing out the type of difficulty

with type(difficulty)

!e

def my_function(int_arg: int):
  print(f"{type(int_arg)=}")
my_function("it's not an integer lol")

[left idol]

in my slash command or in the select view? im using pycord

[unkempt canyon]

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

type(int_arg)=<class 'str'>

[sick birch]

In your slash command

[echo cobalt]

bots

[left idol]

uh it says its None

[golden tapir]

how can i hit the copy buttion to copy th url on mobile

[sick birch]

that's the problem then

[left idol]

is there any reason why it would be None though?

[sick birch]

Can you send a picture of you invoking your slash command?

[left idol]

1 second, im trying again with optionchoice

[golden tapir]

is there anotjer way to add a bot on mobilr

mobile

[slate swan]

invite a bot?

[golden tapir]

yeah

on mobile

[sick birch]

Hmm okay. Seems like a bit of a pycord issue honestly, you'll need to figure out how to get it to return your arguments as integers

[vocal snow]

shouldn't it show the description parameter there

[left idol]

wym?

[hushed galleon]

yeah that kind of looks like the command isnt registered with any parameters at all

[slate swan]

is there a way to check if a dictionary's keys is in the message's content, like $check keyname

[left idol]

@bot.slash_command(description = 'aaaa')
async def whatthe(ctx, difficulty: int):
    print(type(difficulty))
    view = DropdownView(difficulty)
    await ctx.send('aaaahhhhh', view=view)

is there any reason it shouldn't show up in this command?

i was just ignoring that because i didn't know if it was something wrong with my command

[vocal snow]

try annotating it with discord.Option

I think that's what pycord uses

[whole sparrow]

how do i check whether a channel exists in a server

right now my idea is to try except bot.get_channel

[vocal snow]

based on what, name, id

[whole sparrow]

id

[sick birch]

Was thinking the same thing

[vocal snow]

then guild.get_channel is what you want

[golden tapir]

how can i invite discord bots on mobile

[vocal snow]

just use the invite link and should be fine 🤔

[whole sparrow]

also, how do I catch the exception? Do I catch disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError or AttribiuteError

or is there a better way

[golden tapir]

i cant reach it

[vocal snow]

guild.get_channel doesn't raise an exception. You can check if it returns None or a valid channel

[hushed galleon]

given their github examples i dont think its necessary: https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_basic.py

[whole sparrow]

ooo yeah ur right

[whole sparrow]

Thanks i overlooked a part of my code

[vocal snow]

hmm you're right

I wonder if they have parameters optional by default

[left idol]

async def whatthe(ctx, difficulty: Option(int, 'Pick a number')):

still isn't giving me the argument parameter

[golden tapir]

how can i invite my bot with out the url generator

[vocal snow]

you can't, the authorization part is important

[slate swan]

hi

i slep

[golden tapir]

can i use the client id

[slate swan]

bue!!!!!!!!

[vocal snow]

gn

[slate swan]

burps

[vocal snow]

can you send your full code?

this is what im trying to workout right now

[vocal snow]

are you creating more than one instance of discord.Bot or whatever

[left idol]

what do you mean?
bot = discord.Bot(debug_guilds=[os.getenv("GUILD")], intents=intents)

[vocal snow]

and that's the only one which you're running right

[left idol]

yea

[hushed galleon]

i dont think getenv can return an integer

[vocal snow]

oh you're right

[hushed galleon]

based on their docs debug_guilds is meant to take list[int]
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.debug_guilds

id figure its something to do with command synchronization

try adding int() around your getenv call and restart your bot, maybe pycord's not syncing correctly because of the mismatched type

[left idol]

i tried manually inputting my guildid and still isn't showing up

[vocal snow]

maybe remove the debug guilds altogether, they sync instantly anyways

[left idol]

oh, that seemed to do it

but that seems weird that it didn't work with the debug guild?

[vocal snow]

yes, very weird

[hushed galleon]

can you check your integrations tab in server settings to see if there's two duplicate commands?

[left idol]

no just 1 of that command

[hushed galleon]

huh

[vocal snow]

the id you were giving it was an int and not a string right (no quotes)

[hushed galleon]

i guess you've been looking at the global slash command the entire time

[left idol]

yeah it was an int

[hushed galleon]

guild id is correct yeah?

[left idol]

yeah it worked with different commands

its just this one that wasn't working

[vocal snow]

probably py-cord has some weird syncing mechanism

i much prefer syncing manually for this reason

[left idol]

wym manually syncing

[whole sparrow]

How am i able to do this?

[vocal snow]

you can control how and when you update your application commands

in py-cord, you create a command with the decorator and it's automatically updated in discord for you

[sick birch]

These are subcommands

[whole sparrow]

Oo cool ill look into it

[sick birch]

How does that work 🤨 I wasn’t aware that decorators could be asynchronous

[left idol]

oh really, thats neat

[vocal snow]

no no i worded that wrong

more like, the decorators add the commands to a pool and then they are synced with bot.run or whatever

[sick birch]

That would explain it

[vocal snow]

which is convenient sometimes but also really inconvenient

[sick birch]

I sure hope they aren’t actually syncing in the decorator

That’s not very pythonic

But knowing pycord they’re probably doing some weird hacky way

[vocal snow]

yep

[left idol]

would you mind sending the doc regarding the decorator?

[vocal snow]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=slash_command#discord.Bot.slash_command

the decorator itself doesn't do much

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=sync#discord.Bot.sync_commands

thank you !

[limber bison]

how can i join 2 strings ?

hello

[vocal snow]

S1 + S2

[limber bison]

world

oh ok

any other way ?

[vocal snow]

fstring

[limber bison]

s1 + \ns2 work ?

[vocal snow]

That's invalid syntax

!fstring

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[limber bison]

na na i know about but i want to join 2 strings with new line

[vocal snow]

So use fstring

What's the issue

[limber bison]

!e
x= "hello"
y = "world"
print(x+y)
print(f"{x}\n + {y}")

[vocal snow]

Do you hate fstrings

[versed marlin]

Hello I know like beginner level python and am new to making discord bots, can you make a discord bot do something in accordance to a user's rich presence?

like if someone was playing a game and the game's rich presence said like "fighting this boss" the bot would say something only when that rich presence is happening to a user

or something like that basically

[limber bison]

list index out of range why this error ?

[limber bison]

    @commands.command()
    async def ad(self , ctx,*, name_and_dis):

        info = "ok\n"

I think you would want to start with i=0

[limber bison]

🤔

but i dont want x[0] in my final result

[full lily]

        info = "ok\n"
        for y in x[1:]:
            info = info + f"{z}\n"

you could do this

orrrr

i think you just want

is this a list of strings?

[limber bison]

yes

[full lily]

    @commands.command()
    async def ad(self , ctx,*, name_and_dis):
        x = name_and_dis.splitlines()
        await ctx.send(f"ok\n{"\n".join(x[1:])}")

try this

[limber bison]

[1:] mean ?

[full lily]

means everything starting from index 1

[limber bison]

oh k k tring

[full lily]

so it will skip index 0

which is what you wanted

[vocal snow]

You can't have double quotes inside double quotes

You also can't have a newline inside the placeholder part of fstring

[vocal snow]

Yes, enable presence intents and you can access the user's activity with user.activity

[limber bison]

(f"ok\n{'\n'.join(x[1:])}") ????????

oh k

how would I restart my entire bot with a command? this is what i currently have

await self.bot.close()
self.bot.loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
token = config['token']
self.bot.start(token)

but it says that RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

the exception is on the close() function

[vocal snow]

How would you define a restart

Do you want to logout and login

Or restart the script

[burnt relic]

i did it for u :)

[burnt relic]

thx

[vocal snow]

Ty. Can see the indentation now

The second if statement isn't inside the event

Is that a formatting error or

[celest sparrow]

if message.channel.name == 'lol':
    if user_message.lower() == 'is le dead':
        await message.channel.send(f'lol lod')
        return
    elif user_message.lower() == '!game':
        response = 'what game do you want to play? we have random number, '

if the indentation on discord is correct, you need to tab forward this entire section, as the first if statement isn't in the on_message function

[sick birch]

Could we avoid spoonfeeding in the future please? There's little to no educational value in that and only puts more work on people helping in the future

[celest sparrow]

alr

[vocal snow]

I think they were just formatting it, not solving it

[sick birch]

Well it was an indentation problem so formatting and solving are synonymous in this case

[drifting arrow]

How do I make a popup window?

[vocal snow]

No no i mean formatting it with the codeblock, not fixing the indentation

[vocal snow]

A modal you mean?

[sick birch]

Oh right it's the same

[drifting arrow]

lol ofc they'd call it something weird

[vocal snow]

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

class discord.ui.Modal(*, title=..., timeout=None, custom_id=...)```
Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[drifting arrow]

ty

[vocal snow]

Haha fr

[drifting arrow]

Oh no, can't call it a promptwindow or a popup or something common.

Have to call it a 'modal'

[sick birch]

Well to be fair "popup" has a negative connotation, and a prompt window is usually associated with the OS/DE

[drifting arrow]

inputmenu

[sick birch]

See this example I made if you want to know how to use it: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modals/basic.py

[drifting arrow]

ty

[sick birch]

Looks like Danny moved it from it's original position under examples so now it looks like he made it instead of me 😭

Heck I don't even know if this is the one I made lol, my memory is terrible

[drifting arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if it works it works

Oh okay

I see. So it's sorta like an embed (sorta I said.)
where if you want a new input field, you create a new variable with all the things

Before someone jumps down my throat. I said sorta.

[sick birch]

I'm gonna have to say no on that one, but I get your point about sorta 😂

[drifting arrow]

where an embed is: embed.add_field(blah blah) this is mynewvariable = inputthingy(blah blah)

[sick birch]

More or less, yeah

[drifting arrow]

and if I wanted a new field, I'd add:

newfield = discord.ui.TextInput(label='newfield', placeholder='New field placeholder',)

between the feedback and name.

not too much different to an embed in this regards

How many input fields can I have on 1 thing? or is it based on character limits?

[hidden haven]

Is it possible to send an ephemeral message when a user joins your server?

[drifting arrow]

Whats the documentation for ephemeral messages?

[drifting arrow]

If you know how to send ephemeral messages, you can just do a check for on_member_join() and send the message then.

[sick birch]

No specific documentation, certain methods just have an ephemeral kwarg

[sick birch]

Not possible unfortunately. Ephemeral messages need to be responses to interactions

[drifting arrow]

Really? D: dang

[hidden haven]

Ah, that's unfortunate

[sick birch]

Yeah most of discord's new features are very limited (take modals for instance, they only support the text inputs)

[drifting arrow]

Le-Sigh. I was gonna ask if they did dropdown.

Are modals a new thing?

[sick birch]

I think they do in some really new version? I heard people talking about them but it's more rumor than anything

[inner dawn]

Hey, is it possible to get a users about me section using discord.py?

[drifting arrow]

Neat. Well if it ever becomes a thing I'll be the first to start updating all my bots. For now I got a new bot to make! 😄

[sick birch]

Good luck with that! Just make sure you're on 2.0 for all the new stuff, and it's not on pypi so you'll have to install it manually (pip won't work)

[drifting arrow]

How do I check my discordpy version?

[sick birch]

discord.__version__ anywhere in your code

[drifting arrow]

I did pip freeze, remembered that was a thing after I asked.

[sick birch]

Preferably in an on_ready or something similar:

@bot.even
async def on_ready():
  print(f"Using discord.py version {discord.__version__}")

[sick birch]

I don't recommend checking it with pip because pip could point to many different things, venvs, etc. So you really can't be sure the one shown in pip is the one you're really using

Venvs would solve that problem, of course. You should always be using a venv when working with python

[drifting arrow]

Using discord.py version 2.0.0a

\o/

[sick birch]

Looks like you're good then

[drifting arrow]

Good coz I really didn't want to have to update all my bots again

[inner dawn]

Hey, I needed to ask, is it possible to get a users about me section using discord.py?

[sick birch]

!d discord.Member.activity I might be wrong though, give it a test

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.activity

property activity```
Returns the primary activity the user is currently doing. Could be `None` if no activity is being done.

Note

Due to a Discord API limitation, this may be `None` if the user is listening to a song on Spotify with a title longer than 128 characters. See [GH-1738](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1738) for more information.

Note

A user may have multiple activities, these can be accessed under [`activities`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.activities "discord.Member.activities").

[inner dawn]

I'm not talking about the activity, I'm talking about a user's about me section in their profile.

[sick birch]

I know, but I believe that's what it's under

[slate swan]

how do you get the ID of emotes in discord? trying to have my bot check for a reaction of a certain emote

e.g ⭐

[sick birch]

Default emotes like these don't have IDs

You can just compare them like so:

emoji: discord.Emoji = # pretend this is the emoji that the user reacted with
if emoji == '⭐':
  ...

[slate swan]

Gotcha, how do you get these though? i can't copy them.

CTRL + C

⭐

i know that dude, it's just that when i try to paste it in pycharm, it pastes as * instead.

[drifting arrow]

Dont use pycharm

[slate swan]

no need to get aggressive

I'm not? emotions are not conveyed well over text.

you could try pasting it directly into the file

[drifting arrow]

Try using vscode

[slate swan]

or use vscode, it's better

Or you could try opening the emoji keyboard shortcut

[drifting arrow]

Oh!

windows + .

[slate swan]

Windows key + >

same thing

Pycharm gives potential errors though, i don't know if vscode does that

[slate swan]

you could also do windows key + ;

[drifting arrow]

oh neat

[slate swan]

try using the unicode perhaps

[drifting arrow]

windows + < is neat. I started pressing all the keys

[slate swan]

😭

[drifting arrow]

I dont recommend doing the letters

although.. windows + L

[slate swan]

the star is U+2B50

iirc

\U0002B50

@slate swan there's also a plugin for emoji support- https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9174-emoji-support-plugin

[slate swan]

Hmm, the windows + . doesn't have a search function, shame

[drifting arrow]

What do I need to add to the end of a function to remain PPEP8 compliant? async def makenote(orgid: int, note: str, shared: bool, bmid: int): is what I have atm. I know you are suppose to add something but idk what

[slate swan]

you could add return annotations

[drifting arrow]

How?

[slate swan]

async def some_command(ctx: discord.Context) -> None:

[drifting arrow]

oh

[slate swan]

yeah, it's just some annotation that says what the function returns

[drifting arrow]

async def makenote(orgid: int, note: str, shared: bool, bmid: int) -> dict:
```?

[slate swan]

I'm 99% sure it's always gonna be None for discord.py commands

[drifting arrow]

Also what's the difference between:

""" Whatever this is suppose to be. """
and
# Commented out

I've always used # to make comments, but I often see the triple quotes as well

so idk the difference..

[slate swan]

triple quotes are docstrings

technically they're not comments though

[drifting arrow]

Is there any benefit to using them over #?

[slate swan]

it's still read by the interpreter

[drifting arrow]

Or is it like a preference thing?

[slate swan]

comments are ignored, triple quotes are read

by the interpreter at least

that's as much I know

[drifting arrow]

So, until we're told otherwise, it's a preference thing

wait!

@slate swan

That's what it does 😄

Oh fuck yeah.

Always wondered how to edit that stuff.

[limber bison]

how can i give role to command user ?

also how can i take it too

[drifting arrow]

Heyyy @sick birch

``` I tried running your code and like. wot.

is it coz my discord thingy isnt up to spec?

[sick birch]

how are you defining guild?

[drifting arrow]

I copied your code and just set TEST_GUILD to my guild id

[smoky cedar]

All of a sudden I'm getting Interaction object has no attribute 'edit_original_message'?

It only happens in production on my actual server, despite the code being exactly the same as my testing bot where it doesn't happen

[drifting arrow]

Should it be:
TEST_GUILD = discord.Object(794837147068792862)
or
TEST_GUILD = 794837147068792862?

[sick birch]

The former

[drifting arrow]

Alright I did that. Now I get another error lol

I just want to see how it works. ;-; is this slash commands?

[cerulean shale]

Role= discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name="your role")```

Then you gotta make your bot give role to the user whenever they use the command

[golden tapir]

can i invite a bot via client id

[sick birch]

It's edit_original_response, remember I pinged you about it yesterday

[smoky cedar]

you sure? it works on my dev version and I'm looking at the source code right now and seeing edit_original_message

[sick birch]

Yeah it's a new version

[smoky cedar]

gahhhh

[sick birch]

Usually your dev version will be a few versions ahead

[golden tapir]

can i invite a bot via client id

[sick birch]

No

[slate swan]

Need help with setting up boost bot

[smoky cedar]

I see, I think I just accidentally auto-updated when I added another dependency recently by installing my whole requirements file haha

[drifting arrow]

oh @sick birch I dont think I can do slash commands 😦

[limber bison]

await ctx.author.add_roles([item["role"]])

error :
'list' object has no attribute 'id'

😳

dead ?

[slate swan]

yo how easy is it to set up a bot?

not coding part, setting up one to take the code?

import discord, os, json
from discord.ext import commands

with open('config.json', 'r') as f:
    config = json.load(f)

TOKEN = config.get('TOKEN')
Prefix = config.get('PREFIX')
Invite = config.get('Invite')

intents = discord.Intents.all()

client = discord.Client(command_prefix=Prefix, intents=intents)




@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot Online')

@client.command()
async def invite(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"Add the bot here:"+ Invite)

client.run(TOKEN)```

ERROR:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\Clicks\Desktop\Stuff\test.py", line 22, in <module>
    @client.command()
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'command'

[slate swan]

Fairly simple

[cerulean shale]

Just define role separately and add it

[limber bison]

how ?

id have role id in my db

[cerulean shale]

role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name = "Member"

Import get from discord.utils tho

[slate swan]

could you dm me a straightforward video on only setting it up, and how to add the code you make from vs code or something like that into the bot?

[cerulean shale]

And then replace (item[role name]) to (role)

[cerulean shale]

There are plenty of videos on yt tho

[gleaming anvil]

no, creating a bot doesn't need any code

[limber bison]

not working

[gleaming anvil]

discord.Client doesn't have commands, discord.ext.commands.Bot does

[slate swan]

i dont believe that, why else would there be a bot dev in a python server? and i've tried to m ake one before

[gleaming anvil]

as i said, "creating"
not running and programming it.

[slate swan]

yes thats what i need to know, create the bot

[limber bison]

await ctx.author.add_roles(item["role"])

'Int64' object has no attribute 'id' ?

[gleaming anvil]

https://discord.dev -> applications -> new application ->enter bot name -> ( a page opens ) -> click on "Bot" menu -> "Add bot" option
thats all

[cerulean shale]

Send the code of what you changed

[drifting arrow]

WOOO!! Progress! 😄 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Us5NHG-nY <- gave me a lot of help

[quaint epoch]

WOAH, what's that

[drifting arrow]

MODALS!!

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/modals/basic.py

[limber bison]

whats it ?

[sick birch]

A modal

[drifting arrow]

Now for the fun part.

Hooking it all up in 1 go and finding all the bugs I made 🙂

[limber bison]

funtion ????????????

[drifting arrow]

What could go wrong by pasting in a heap of code without testing it as I go?

[sick birch]

It looks like this

You can get it to show on a user's screen by responding to an interaction (slash command, button press, etc)

It's actually not too new of a feature, not sure how many people haven't heard of it yet

[drifting arrow]

Probably because it's rarely used.

I only found out about it because my friend used it on his server

and I was like 'Wow. That's gonna be a pain to use.' and here I am, 2 months later.

suffering that pain

[sick birch]

That too, it's also incredibly limited like I mentioned before. If they added buttons, select menus, and a bunch of other cool components I'd seriously be considering it

[shrewd apex]

oh modals

[shrewd apex]

select menus possible but shows only on pc

[drifting arrow]

Quick question.

def myfunction(value1, value2, value3):
  pass

Do I have to do them in order? Or can I do:
myfunction(value3=1, value1=2, value2=3)?

[sick birch]

You can mix them up, but only as long as it's not a positional only argument, and you specify the keyword argument

[drifting arrow]

😏 I pretty much got it all working. It's now hooked up to my new notes bot.

Ty @sick birch for your help.

[sick birch]

Awesome! Glad to hear

[drifting arrow]

I just hope nobody asks me to convert all my bots to slash commands lol

[sick birch]

Unfortunately for you discord does

If you're planning on going "commercial" that is

[drifting arrow]

All my bots are contained into 1 discord.

[sick birch]

What do you mean?

[drifting arrow]

As in, they are only in 1 discord. lol

1 guild*

[celest sparrow]

how would I restart my bot from a command? this is what I have currently

await self.bot.close()
self.bot.loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()
token = config['token']
self.bot.start(token)

but it gives me a RuntimeError: Event loop is closed error

[drifting arrow]

1 server*

[sick birch]

Ah yeah, that's not a problem

[sick birch]

Restart how? Turn the script off and on or just disconnect your bot from the gateway and reconnect?

[celest sparrow]

disconnect from the gateway and reconnect

[drifting arrow]

How do I get the discord name/id of the person running the command? Usually I'd do ctx.author or whatever. but im using an interaction

[celest sparrow]

ctx.author.id

[drifting arrow]

@celest sparrow Im using interactions, there is no ctx.

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client.close

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.close

await close()```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Closes the connection to Discord.

[sick birch]

interaction.user

Given discord.py, that is

[celest sparrow]

i posted my code, and thats what i'm using. using the nextcord library if that helps

[sick birch]

Right. There's no need to mess with the event loop though, just use the .close() coro

[celest sparrow]

it gives the same error either way

[sick birch]

Which is?

Oh the event loop is closed

[celest sparrow]

yea

[sick birch]

Get rid of the asyncio.new_event_loop() stuff it's messing with the event loop

[celest sparrow]

just did

same error

[sick birch]

Could you paste the full traceback?

[sick birch]

Yeah looks like you're trying to do API operations after your bot is closed

[celest sparrow]

wdym?

[sick birch]

e.g await ctx.send(...)
after

await self.bot.close()

[gleaming anvil]

whats the point of restarting the bot? you can just reload your cogs whenever you want to

[celest sparrow]

the exception occurs on the close function

and it should start the bot after

[gleaming anvil]

bot.close() closes the connection from gateway and closes the passes the bot.run() line as well, so you cannot restart the bot that way

[limber bison]

Any funfact about python ?

Which I dont know

[sick birch]

🐍

[slate swan]

with open("blacklist.json") as file:
    blacklist = json.load(file)

BlacklistedUsers = blacklist.get('ids')



@client.group()
async def ablacklist(ctx):
    text=f"There are {len(blacklist['ids'])} users in the blacklist"
    await ctx.send(text)

@ablacklist.command()
async def add(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
    user_id = member.id
    if user_id in BlacklistedUsers:
        await ctx.send("User Already Blacklisted")
        return
    add_user_to_blacklist(user_id)

    embed.set_footer(
        text=f"There are now {len(blacklist['ids'])} users in the blacklist"
    )
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

It sends *both* `text=f"There are {len(blacklist['ids'])} users in the blacklist" await ctx.send(text)` & `embed=discord.Embed(title="User __Blacklisted__", description=f"**{member.name}** has been successfully added to the blacklist", color=0xff0000) embed.set_footer(text=f"There are now {len(blacklist['ids'])} users in the blacklist"`

[limber bison]

😂

[sick birch]

i like snaek

[limber bison]

Is python use c in background ?

[celest sparrow]

so what do I use instead?
