[sick birch]

The default python interpreter is written in C, yes

[celest sparrow]

in nextcord, its the same as bot.logout()

[sick birch]

Alternate implementations have been written in things like Rust, C#, Java, and even Python itself!

[limber bison]

Default interpreter like ?

[sick birch]

The one you get off python.org

[limber bison]

Ohh k let me read !

[gleaming anvil]

you can write your own script which runs the bot and use it after logout

like a terminal command

[gleaming anvil]

python interpreter has many variants
Cpython being the most commonly used one
other than that Jython ( interpreter in java ), rustpython etc exist too

the one you download from python site is the C interpreter

[upbeat gust]

The only good way to restart your bot is to shut it down and have your process manager handle it. You can shutdown your bot by running Bot.close().

Do use:

• run your bot in a process manager such as:
  • systemd
  • openrc (gentoo, devuan)
  • runit (void linux)
  • supervisord
  • upstart (old ubuntu)
  • docker
• manually reboot it

Do not use:

• a bash loop (it can eat your C-c by rapidly spawning python and if your bot fails it won't stop it from constantly failing)
• subprocess.call (you will eat your memory up by not letting your old processes die)
• os.exec*

[sick birch]

An interesting thing is that PyPy, is the Python interpreter, written in Python itself

Similar to a "bootstrap" compiler but not necessarily

[slate swan]

i have school tomorrow😔 ✌️

[slate swan]

its quite easy

[sick birch]

Well yeah, no doubt about that. Just interesting, like a paradox

[slate swan]

while True:  input(exec(">>> "))

😳

one line interpreter

[sick birch]

oh yeah i suppose you could call it a day at that

[slate swan]

no hard coding

[zenith basin]

#discord-bots

[celest sparrow]

the bot is running in windows and I don't wanna bother with docker

[zenith basin]

hey guys

got a question

how can I get users pfp without

having a discord bot

I just want to use api

[sick birch]

You can just go to https://discord.id/ or something similar

[zenith basin]

can I do a request to that

????

[sick birch]

Oh, do you need it to be programatic?

[zenith basin]

ya

[sick birch]

You'd just go in that website and type someone's ID in

But if you want to use the API you'd have to use discord

Check the network tab while making a request on that website to see how

[zenith basin]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#image-formatting

I found this

but but idk

[upbeat gust]

not without breaking tos (selfbotting)

[sick birch]

It's not again TOS

[upbeat gust]

not talking about that website

[sick birch]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#get-user see this endpoint @zenith basin

[upbeat gust]

I mean discords api using a user account

[sick birch]

🤔 though I think that requires a bot token so you may be right

[zenith basin]

thx

[upbeat gust]

.

[zenith basin]

I just want to get an avtar

[upbeat gust]

so?

[slate swan]

it would be F12 if someone is wondering to see all the requests, so you can make a request to the host

How to check if message was sent by certain user?

I want to make an owner function but it wont work

@blacklist.command()
async def remove(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
    user_id = member.id
    if str(ctx.message.author) in Owners:
            if user_id in BlacklistedUsers:
                try:
                    remove_user_from_blacklist(user_id)
                    embed=discord.Embed(title="User Removed From Blacklist", description=f"**{member.name}** has been successfully been removed from the blacklist", color=0x00ff11)
                    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
                except:
                    blacklist_error_remove
    if user_id in Owners:
        await ctx.send("**HEY**! Thats my owner! You cant do that!")```

!d discord.ext.commands.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_owner

@discord.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that checks if the person invoking this command is the owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner").

This check raises a special exception, [`NotOwner`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NotOwner "discord.ext.commands.NotOwner") that is derived from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

like what

[slate swan]

remove the client command deco

you registed the command twice

[slate swan]

I'm sorry but I dont see anything

its the first line in the code you have given?

oh lmao

I thought, that @commands.command(aliases=['hban']) & @client.command() didnt do anything but call the command

no it registers the command

they get called internally

and the error was raised because you used 2 decos that register commands

I understand now

same code as before but with 1 deco

@slate swan

[fickle sky]

how do i make these using python can anyone help me

[slate swan]

what is "these"

ui buttons?

[fickle sky]

advance music bot system

with buttons

[fickle sky]

yes

[slate swan]

woah that's a big question

[fickle sky]

xD

[slate swan]

as for buttons, i think this gist: https://gist.github.com/lykn/bac99b06d45ff8eed34c2220d86b6bf4 along with some examples from here: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views should help

[slate swan]

then I get "Self is not defined"

when it comes to music, https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_voice.py should help but it's a very nuanced topic and you need to do your own research or ask more specific questions.

[slate swan]

what do you need self for?

you're not in a cog, so why do you need it?

hold on can you send more code?

!paste use this service

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

nothing much just naming ctx as self

it could be another instance of using a cog wrong

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oxehofiqey

your sarcasm is totally dead, no offence

nvm

fixed

[slate swan]

lol i just have no idea what this even means

[vocal snow]

Ur totally dead

[slate swan]

i pondered it for a bit but gave up cause it made no sense

[slate swan]

no, please send more code

not the same stuff again

we can skip the whole Q&A bit if you just provide the code for quick diagnosis

[slate swan]

I fixed it, Ashley was right

great

[slate swan]

average no english lover 😔

wat

im as confused as timtoy

[sudden crypt]

how can i set the permisions on a voice channel when i create it to make it private

[silent portal]

Slash Commands >.<

[vocal snow]

You need to send the view in interaction.send

Also what is menus.Menu

And remove the try-except so you can see what the error is

[vocal snow]

overwrites kwarg

[hidden haven]

I hate discord py so much ugh

Is there any reason why the code in the last if statement won't run? Assumedly everything above it is correct:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.channel.name == 'welcome':
        author = message.author
        if not author.roles.find(name='member'):
            ....

[vocal snow]

Is list.find even a thing

I don't use nextcord sorry

[hidden haven]

I think so?

oh so does author.roles return a list?

that would make sense

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[hidden haven]

oh so 'role' in author.roles should be it?

[vocal snow]

No it's a list of discord.Role not string

You can use filter or discord.utils.get

[shrewd apex]

it says Interaction has no attr bot thats not CTX it's an interaction object

[shrewd apex]

role = discord.utils.get(message.author.roles, name = "member")

now u can check if not role

[hidden haven]

Thanks, yeah. So my bot works in my test server but fails in the actual one -- same code, same permissions. Intents are declared, but this error is raised when trying to assign roles: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

It assigns a role when the member joins, but then fails to assign one when they send their first message

[shrewd apex]

code👀

[hidden haven]

I'll send over a modified one. hold on

@shrewd apex https://paste.pythondiscord.com/anomahekoz

[slate swan]

There's no role named verify

[hidden haven]

It's a placeholder. The real code has a different role that I do not want to expose

[slate swan]

Then the role in the real code doesn't exist either.

[hidden haven]

wdym? it exists on the server

that holder role exists on both server A and server B. the code works in full on one but not the other, despite permissions being the same. that error that I mentioned above is raised in B and idk why or what it means

[slate swan]

maybe you lack guild members intents?

[hidden haven]

possibly, but i don't understand why it does assign the role in the first half but fails to assign or remove in the second

server member intents are on

[silk fulcrum]

Well, so I fixed the game, but it says "This interaction failed" every time I click the button, Is that because I don't respond with a message?

[slate swan]

yes, if you dont respond to the interaction in any way it shows This interaction failed

[silk fulcrum]

in any way?

but i open the field

[hidden haven]

fixed my issue. switching to assigning roles by id and not name worked for whatever reason

[slate swan]

yes e.g an ephemeral message is good

[silk fulcrum]

users will be like "why tf is you bot sending ephemeral messages, he's spamming me can I just play the game"

of course i thought of ephemeral msgs

[slate swan]

well you can do something else......

[silk fulcrum]

or that is the only way..

[slate swan]

you can defer the interaction but you really shouldnt lol

[silk fulcrum]

that wont really help

[slate swan]

blame discords api ez

[silk fulcrum]

not looking nice:(

[slate swan]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi okimi

[slate swan]

whatsup y⁹✌️

        lines = await f.read()
        await ctx.reply(lines)
        await ctx.send(f"Total lines: {len(f.readlines())}")```
 why doesn't this code output the second message?

[slate swan]

nothin much 😄

mhm nice

[slate swan]

oh my you still haven't fixed this? 😭

[deep osprey]

nope

[vocal snow]

just speculating but f.readlines() should be a coro, no?

Might want to check aiofiles docs

[slate swan]

it probably is

yup your right

[silk fulcrum]

@slate swan but can I delete that response message immediately?

didnt find anything in docs:(

[deep osprey]

wdym by coro?

[silk fulcrum]

well actually I found Interaction.delete_original_response

[vocal snow]

coroutine

[slate swan]

coroutine, add await

[vocal snow]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutines

[silk fulcrum]

but error says that there is only delete_original_message

[slate swan]

thats odd that an error was never raised about awaiting ctx.send

[slate swan]

does it not give you an error though? it would say it's not awaited

[slate swan]

await is awaiting the readlines here right, goverment of awaits lmao

[vocal snow]

it would say coroutine has no _len_

[deep osprey]

nope

[slate swan]

ah my fault

[vocal snow]

could be because of a faulty error handler

[swift pumice]

🔄

[slate swan]

are you sure the arg your passing is one word

[deep osprey]

yes

[slate swan]

how do you use the command

[swift pumice]

[deep osprey]

"myPrefix" view txtfile

[slate swan]

!view txtfile

[deep osprey]

yeah

[slate swan]

and what's the file called

[deep osprey]

txtfile

[slate swan]

.txt ?

[deep osprey]

yep

[slate swan]

won't fix it but make it into a format string, where you async aiofiles

it's faster, and more readable

[deep osprey]

it's working well as it outputs lines of the txt file

[slate swan]

yeah but still, f strings are better

try iterating over each line perhaps? @deep osprey

[deep osprey]

for line in f:
  await ctx.send(f"{len(line)}")```?

[slate swan]

test it

[deep osprey]

still doesn't work

[slate swan]

error or doesn't send anything

[deep osprey]

doesn't send anything

[slate swan]

can you prnt it out

[slate swan]

print out the last line

[deep osprey]

how can I do that?

[slate swan]

replace the last line with
print(f"Total lines: {len(f.readlines())}")

[deep osprey]

aha I thought to print the last line in the .txt

[slate swan]

ah

[deep osprey]

still nothing in the console

[slate swan]

do you have any error handlers?

[deep osprey]

yes

[slate swan]

try commenting them out

[deep osprey]

command handlers or the default handler?

[slate swan]

command handlers

[deep osprey]

I have each handler for each command and I got default handler

comment all of them?

[slate swan]

yeah

[deep osprey]

still nothing changed

[slate swan]

so weird

[deep osprey]

wait lemme do that function in a separate command

even the new command doesn't output

[slate swan]

what the

[deep osprey]

is there something wrong with file opening mode?

[slate swan]

No

I think I've figured it out

[deep osprey]

what's it?

[slate swan]

let me see

[shrewd apex]

why not just defer that way u don't need to send anything

await interaction.response.defer()

[slate swan]

@deep osprey okay

so your problem was you were trying to print the length of a generator, just replace your last line with

await ctx.send(f"Total lines: {len(await f.readlines())}")

thats odd tho, wouldnt it still send the gen obj?

[slate swan]

no it errors out for me

[deep osprey]

Total lines: 0

[slate swan]

TypeError: object of type 'generator' has no len()

[slate swan]

what does it say? you need to await it?

[slate swan]

is it not right?

[deep osprey]

nope

[slate swan]

so it is right?

[deep osprey]

it's not 0 lines

[slate swan]

how many is it

[slate swan]

ahhh cool

What's your code for that command now @deep osprey

[deep osprey]

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def view(ctx,arg):
    async with aiofiles.open(arg+'.txt', mode='r') as f:
        lines = await f.read()
        await ctx.reply(lines)
        await ctx.send(f"Total lines: {len(await f.readlines())}")```

[slate swan]

yeah, I just wrote the function in a new file, somethings blocking errors for him

what the hell, I reproduced your error

awaiting the read somehow makes the total lines 0

[deep osprey]

why is it saying 0 lines then?

[slate swan]

I'm not to sure

[deep osprey]

UGH

[slate swan]

dont call bot.event

in essence it's just

@bot.event

and not

@bot.event()

[robust fulcrum]

Guys can anyone here suggest me a command idea?

[slate swan]

@deep osprey I've been trying for a while, you probably have to count each line with a for loop

it's very weird, it's like you can only use one at a time or something @deep osprey

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how we can add a user cooldown to a messgse event?

[shrewd apex]

custom cooldowns

[robust fulcrum]

How bro?

[shrewd apex]

just make a dict to store user id and time the event was triggered then make a task loop to check and delete from that dict

[slate swan]

@shrewd apexyou mind helpin @deep osprey, he's using aiofiles(https://github.com/Tinche/aiofiles) but it seems it doesn't allow you to use .read() and .readlines() in the same function, if you do it says the file has 0 lines.

[shrewd apex]

just use read lines then

[slate swan]

it returns a list right?

[shrewd apex]

then u can do "".join(data)

simple

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[robust fulcrum]

I confused how bro

I confused how to make task loop check

[slate swan]

it only let's you use .readlines once 😭

Fixed

[shrewd apex]

just use once it gives a list do
data = await f.readlines()
print(len(data), "".join(data))

that way u get both what's the problem

reaction roles out dated for 2.0 make button roles

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

idk ur code

[slate swan]

@deep osprey so basically, this should work

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def view(ctx, arg) -> None:
    async with aiofiles.open(f'{arg}.txt', mode='r') as f:
        lines = await f.readlines()
        await ctx.reply(''.join(lines))
        await ctx.send(f"Total lines: {len(lines)}")

[shrewd apex]

mode is r by default 🗿

u don't need to specify

[slate swan]

that package aiofiles has like no docs at all

it so simple who need docs 👀

Me

[slate swan]

welp it's fine, double specifying then

[slate swan]

the only issue is that spoonfeeding never works

I hate my new keyboard smh so many typos

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[shrewd apex]

fetch the role once and print the role object var

[robust fulcrum]

How to make task loop check?

[shrewd apex]

108

get the role seperately in another var and print

[raven bolt]

fard

[deep osprey]

wow thanks, but why did that work?

[left idol]

is there a problem with how i passed combat into CombatView? combat is a class as well but im getting an error that says CombatView has no attribute 'children'

[vocal snow]

you need to call the original init

super()._init_()

[left idol]

inside of my combat class?

[vocal snow]

CombatView

[raven bolt]

[left idol]

like super().__init__(combat)?

[raven bolt]

bro fr yoinked the pfp

i don't judge but damnn

[shrewd apex]

dangerous world out there people even robbing pfps

[vocal snow]

api gave it to me :D

oh wow you changed it

[raven bolt]

can't have shit in detroit

ykw nah bro i'm changing pfp here specifically

[deep osprey]

how to check if the .txt file got more than 2000 characters?

[vocal snow]

len()?

[deep osprey]

len(file) ?

[vocal snow]

no, file.read()

and then length of that

[deep osprey]

yeah i know

[slate swan]

async with aiofiles.open(...) as f:
  chars = len(await f.read())

if chars > 2000:
  ...

also rule 7

[deep osprey]

what's rule 7?

[pale turtle]

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[silk fulcrum]

works 😳, thx

[shrewd apex]

nice👌

what was the problem with the recursion

[silk fulcrum]

okimii said that i really shouldn't do that

[silk fulcrum]

when two zero's are next to each other: one zero opens second, and second opens first and then first opens second and the second opens first

wait didnt you say me about that?

[left idol]

TypeError: expected Item not <class 'int'> what does <class 'int'> mean?

[shrewd apex]

hmm yeah i kinda noticed that yesterday couldn't say for sure without printing pos i think i told i to print pos

[shrewd apex]

yeah that recursion seemed off

[silk fulcrum]

idk if my way to stop it is good but itworks

[deep osprey]

So this is my code py @bot.command() @commands.is_owner() async def view(ctx, arg) -> None: async with aiofiles.open(f'{arg}.txt', mode='r') as f: lines = await f.readlines() x = len(lines) z = len(await f.read()) if z > 2000: await ctx.reply(''.join(lines[1:(x/2)])) await ctx.send(''.join(lines[(x/2):x])) await ctx.send(f"Total lines: {x}") else: await ctx.reply(''.join(lines)) await ctx.send(f"Total lines: {x}") I am trying to send the content of the text file even they are more than 2000 characters in 2 messages but it's not working

[silk fulcrum]

integer (0935205 for example)

[left idol]

im getting the error in regards to
super().__init__(150, 5, 5, 3, 'Dark', 'Light', 'Tank')

[silk fulcrum]

more code? or full traceback

[vocal snow]

super()._init_() calls the original init (of the superclass)

you don't pass those arguments to it

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[vocal snow]

that's all you can pass

[mossy jacinth]

"Command.call() missing 1 required positional argument: 'context'" why?

[vocal snow]

you probably have a command function called x and then you're calling x() somewhere

[mossy jacinth]

oh

[vocal snow]

without full code can't help debug that

[mossy jacinth]

that is the whole code

[silk fulcrum]

no

[mossy jacinth]

there is no more under await ctx.send...

except other commands

[vocal snow]

exactly?

we need to see the stuff above too

[silk fulcrum]

also it's better to name class with capital letter

Help

[deep osprey]

?

[worn onyx]

i have a problem in my code could anyone plzz help me?

[silk fulcrum]

better just put [:2000] and [2000:] instead of those [1:(x/2)], [(x/2):x]

[silk fulcrum]

just send your problem

I don't know where do you get your emoji from, but it's already a string, not an Emoji object, to get name from it

[deep osprey]

1:2000 and [2000: ?]

[silk fulcrum]

what's wrong with [:2000] and [2000:]?

remove .name probably

[deep osprey]

doesn't output anything

[primal moat]

would on_guild_join be reliable for running code when my bot is added

all i wanna do is send to webhook when my bot gets added to a server

[silk fulcrum]

no error?

[deep osprey]

nope

[silk fulcrum]

is there something in your text file?

[deep osprey]

yeah

[silk fulcrum]

uhm... do you have an error handler?

[deep osprey]

an error handler for each command

[silk fulcrum]

yes? why not

[primal moat]

thanks

[mossy jacinth]

how can i make this? This is not an emoji at the front

[silk fulcrum]

i'd do print at the start of command to see if it even gets runned, and if you have an error handler try disabling it so error can appear if there is one

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[deep osprey]

print what exactly?

[silk fulcrum]

so if you are just making a slash command with getting an interaction, then: await interaction.response.defer()

[silk fulcrum]

i usually do here it doesnt matter

[deep osprey]

the command is working well if the txt file doesn't have more than 2000 characters

[silk fulcrum]

idk if this lib is actually called discord_components, but I really don't recommend using it

[silk fulcrum]

i see...

hm weirdo

I'd just send a txt file with the content... lmao

[worn onyx]

any solution?

[silk fulcrum]

not use discord components

or install them...

if you want to use them for some reason....

[deep osprey]

so no solution for this?

[junior verge]

I'm so confused with this error, anyone got any idea what it means?

[silk fulcrum]

idk, it should raise an error, probably it does not, because of error handler, you can try py try: code... except Exception as e: raise e

[silk fulcrum]

there's no discord.Embed.Empty

[junior verge]

I don't have that in my code?

That's what confuses me

are you using discord.py?

[vocal snow]

why don't you just send the txt file directly

[junior verge]

Yeah

[silk fulcrum]

.

[silk fulcrum]

what version?

[junior verge]

2.0

[silk fulcrum]

do pip list

you probably have 1.7.3 and 2.0 both

because Embed.Empty was removed in 2.0

[junior verge]

ohh i do

discord 1.7.3
discord.py 2.0.0a4447+gd4cc8d30

[junior verge]

Nah but in my whole code there, there is no single embed

[silk fulcrum]

pip uninstall discord ig

[junior verge]

same error still

[silk fulcrum]

im not sure if it will only remove 1.7.3, so better do pip list after that to see if it removed properly

[junior verge]

2.0 is still there

[silk fulcrum]

and 1.7.3?

[junior verge]

Thats removed

[silk fulcrum]

hmmm.....

id better just reinstall it then

pip uninstall discord.py

pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[junior verge]

The official dpy 2.0 is coming soon right

[junior verge]

done

[silk fulcrum]

idk i just use it and idc

[junior verge]

yeah okay

[silk fulcrum]

still error?

[junior verge]

yeah

[vocal snow]

Rapptz/discord.py is the original and "official" discord.py

[junior verge]

oh

[silk fulcrum]

well i thought he meant a PyPi release

[junior verge]

Yeah

But idk about my error I don't get it

[silk fulcrum]

do you have any file or folder named discord?

[junior verge]

uh no

[silk fulcrum]

then.... im confused

[junior verge]

me too

exact error

[silk fulcrum]

from utils.util import Paginator?

[junior verge]

Yeah I use it

import pag not paginator

[zinc reef]

They removed Embed.Empty in recent commits

Hence your attribute error

[junior verge]

I don't have any embeds in that code.

[silk fulcrum]

from discord.ext.buttons import Paginator*

[junior verge]

I got that in my util.py file

[vocal snow]

that paginator makes use of Embed.Empty which doesn't exist anymore

[junior verge]

Its bit old code btw just trying to get it to work with 2.0

[junior verge]

oh, so how would it be now?

[silk fulcrum]

None

[junior verge]

I mean what do I import?

[vocal snow]

discord.py doesn't have a builtin paginator

find a 3p lib which is updated for dpy 2.0 or make your own

[junior verge]

oh

[silk fulcrum]

!d discord.ext.commands.Paginator

[silk fulcrum]

RIP

[vocal snow]

that's specifically for codeblocks though

it's not a generic paginator class

[silk fulcrum]

well... but it's a paginator anyways)

Its the whole bot so

hm

Myabe its the database because it needs to get the prefix from the database

and that just errored when i tried changing it

[silk fulcrum]

how do you get it?

[junior verge]

mongo

ill just remove that for now

[silk fulcrum]

ok

[junior verge]

@silk fulcrum that was the issue

[silk fulcrum]

lmao

[potent light]

I want to make my bot that's being developed in Discord 2.0 to work in all servers await bot.tree.sync() apparently requires the object of all the guilds that the server is supposed to work in.
I am thinking of looping over all the guilds that the bot is in, then create a list of objects of all the servers that the bot is in and pass it to sync(). The question that I have is whether there is a simpler method or not (such as a default command or something to make the bot work in all the servers).

[silk fulcrum]

POV: when you have a bot developed in Discord 2.0

[heavy folio]

ok mr fork user

[heavy folio]

why? are you trying to make global commands or did you make a slash command for several guilds

[silk fulcrum]

actually I have this in my setup_hook and it works on all guilds without problems

[heavy folio]

auto syncing sucks

[silk fulcrum]

waht\

[heavy folio]

__A__uto __S__yncing (your command tree) __S__ucks, and here's why:
Syncing your command tree automatically causes extra unnecessary requests to be made, this is because you only need to sync when commands are updated.
*see ?tag whensync for a more enunciated list on when to sync.

What syncing does is send your commands to discord for one guild or globally. If you haven't changed your command's descriptions, added/removed commands, changed names, parameters, etc. you shouldn't sync, since you'd only be updating discord with the commands they already have without doing any changes, which is pointless and a waste of an API request to a limit with an already tight rate limit.
*see ?tag whatsync for a more enunciated on what syncing is, and how to do so.

Where should I sync instead?
It's better to sync using a normal (message) command (or even an on_message if you prefer Client) You can even use just a simple eval to do so.
*for example:?tag umbras sync command

*But I don't have the new message content intent... What now?
Bots can still receive message content when the bot is mentioned in it, or in DMs! You could set the bot prefix to commands.when_mentioned

*Why do I get a Missing Access error when trying to sync to a guild? -> See ?tag mas

[shrewd apex]

best use jishaku to sync ur commands

[potent light]

I want to make global commands.

[potent light]

Oh, so by default that's a global.

[shrewd apex]

yes

passing None which is by default makes commands global

[potent light]

thanks!

[silk fulcrum]

all this code should be one indent lower (remove one Tab)

backspace

before backspace

after backspace

[real grail]

What is the cache in discord bots? (What is the concept)

[silk fulcrum]

Well... wdym cache? if you are 'bout caching channels, users, e.t.c, so like you can get them instead of fetch, then... it just saves that info in cache?

[real grail]

Cache is the storage of info.. to which the access bot has?

[silk fulcrum]

nothing changed

[real grail]

Deleting tabs in block of code

[silk fulcrum]

how do you delete symbols?

isnt there a backspace button right below it?

or like next to it

[robust fulcrum]

user = message.author.id
            if user in dict:
                if time.time()-dict[user] > 5:
                    del dict[user]
                    await message.channel.send("rr")
                else:
                    await message.channel.send("on cooldown")
            else:
                dict[user] = time.time()

Is it correct?

[silk fulcrum]

• dict is a shadowing a built-in name
• you cannot do in dict, you can do in dict.keys() or in dict.values()

it is delete

backspace deletes symbol which is before the cursor, and delete deletes symbol which is in front of the cursor

anyways you can delete a tab even with delete

before delete

after delete 4 times

also if your editor is smart then you can just select the code and press Shift+Tab

yes

[real grail]

this block

👍

[marsh violet]

that multi line string is also 1 space off I think

[slate swan]

dont use the names, use the ids of the users and check if the ids are in the json file or not

[quaint scaffold]

Keep in mind that using JSON as a db can cause some big problems, such as file corruption when two processes try to write simultaneously

[slate swan]

What lib is that?

I could help with d.py 2.0.0a, tho slash_command seems to be sum bad fork

[silk fulcrum]

pycord 😭

[slate swan]

Yeah don't use that , either interactions.py or d.py

[silk fulcrum]

interactions 💀

[slate swan]

Legit is more discord API conform than dannys code

"We think discord.py is a good library, however, it violates the API and does not follow the API guild schema."

[torn sail]

What does that mean

[silk fulcrum]

same question

"violates the API"

[slate swan]

I don't see how would it be violating the API

[vocal snow]

Does not follow the guild schema? Is there a missing field in discord.Guild?

[silk fulcrum]

yes, schema

discord.Guild.schema :lmao:

[vocal snow]

bruh

Bad joke !!!

[silk fulcrum]

why

[slate swan]

This is legit a quote from some discord dev

No one asked what you think about that

[shrewd apex]

no one ask that discord dev either

[slate swan]

They did

[silk fulcrum]

who

[shrewd apex]

how u know u were sitting next to him

[slate swan]

Check this discord api server

[dire pier]

what 💀

[slate swan]

What does that even mean

[shrewd apex]

learn some english 🗿

or atleast explain how it violates don't just quote someone and tell what they told

[slate swan]

Says the dude who doesn't know what a QUOTE IS

[shrewd apex]

are u going to explain how it violates or u just simply trolling

[slate swan]

[silk fulcrum]

haha get wrecked, your violation have been asked by noone with similar undesrandion of english as the silverfish

[slate swan]

That wasd a question not an opinion

[silk fulcrum]

what did i just say

[slate swan]

shut up and read it

[silk fulcrum]

any askers?

[shrewd apex]

so just cause PPL like u will pop out randomly and say that this library dosent follow we have to go and read api guide so if tomorrow i question Newton's laws u will go calculate them again for me

[mossy jacinth]

Hey i want to add category buttons to my help command but i dont know how to edit the message after it got pressed

[shrewd apex]

ur making a claim or quoting and quote u should backup ur sentence 🗿

[silk fulcrum]

i think you're using dpy 2.0, where member.avatar_url is replaced with member.avatar.url

[shrewd apex]

await interaction.response.edit_message

[humble trout]

I have a lot of util functions that need to access my postgres database using a pool connection, but I dont want to pass the pool or my bot through every function I plan to query my database in. Am I thinking about this the wrong way or is there a better method of statically referencing my pool than putting a single connection in the bot's attributes?

[silk fulcrum]

await interaction.edit_original_message 😎

[shrewd apex]

make a class pass the pool in the class, then make commonly used functions as class methods, then make an attr for bot class like bot.db and instantiate the db function class to it

[shrewd apex]

that only when u defer the response

[mossy jacinth]

I never clicked a button before this

[shrewd apex]

u responded once already

[mossy jacinth]

But i just restarted the bot, typed the command and then pressed the button

[humble trout]

.. Imma need some commas in that

[shrewd apex]

ok actually just defer it at start then do as master32 said

[humble trout]

are you just suggesting i move my util functions to the bot class?

[shrewd apex]

nope

wait a sec

[humble trout]

alright yeah cause otherwise I have no idea what you are saying

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/FallenDeity/sassy-snallygasters_code-jam-9/tree/main/wild_chess/database
check setup and utils and database

those contain all the db parts

hopefully u'll get a rough idea

[humble trout]

looks like just create a new class with a static classreference to the pool?

[slate swan]

Hey, are you capable of passing json file info into an embed?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.from_dict

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.from\_dict

classmethod from_dict(data)```
Converts a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") to a [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") provided it is in the format that Discord expects it to be in.

You can find out about this format in the [official Discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object).

[slate swan]

iirc load automatically converts json data to dict

So, you're not able to put json files into it by default?

[silk fulcrum]

what's the problem with doing json.load lmao

[slate swan]

Can someone tell me what the issue is?

The api isn't the issue

The embed isn't actually sending once I run the command.

[potent spear]

I don't see the line where you're sending the embed

[slate swan]

OH LOL

it disappeared

I had it b4 tho

[potent spear]

anyways, you can refactor some indentation

your if: ... else: ...

can basically become

if steamid is None:
  return await ctx.send("...")

ts = int(...)
...```

this eliminates/removes a whole else block

[slate swan]

Oh, that's not a bad idea.

fuck I'm too sleep deprived to think of that

[potent spear]

you should also consider using aiohttp
but you probably knew that already

[spring flax]

If you want a command to be able to be used like py def something(ctx, one, two, three, four)
Or ```py
def something(ctx, mode)

How would you do it?

[brazen raft]

Use aiohttp instead of requests, I've heard it is integrated with discord.py

[slate swan]

what exactly do you mean?

[silk fulcrum]

• aiohttp is async

[brazen raft]

Which is exactly the reason I've recommended using it

[slate swan]

httpx

[silk fulcrum]

💀

[vocal snow]

httpx is faster but you'll need another dependency

[spring flax]

Like it can be invoked both ways

[silk fulcrum]

um, actually, i've just helped a person who uses it in dms 😭

[slate swan]

Okay. I'll look into it. Thanks!

[brazen raft]

You can use a group

This way you can have both versions

[potent spear]

but that would take an extra subcommand

[brazen raft]

Is that a problem

[potent spear]

depends for him

[brazen raft]

It makes sense to

[vocal snow]

*args

[spring flax]

ah. i can check the len()

thanks

[vocal snow]

Right

You could also have custom converter or whatever but i feel like it's overkill

[potent spear]

not really that good, since if some args are multiple words, you wouldn't know which word is for which arg

example

[brazen raft]

You can use quotes

[potent spear]

yeah, but that's not really user-friendly, right?

[brazen raft]

That's why I suggested using a group

[potent spear]

I've done it for private guilds, but I don't think regular members would like it

[slate swan]

make the other arguments optional except the one argument, easy

[potent spear]

can't you choose which arg you're passing a value to through autocomplete or whatever in the newer versions?

[agile spade]

so this ban command is not working for some reason

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def ban(ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason = None):
    await member.ban(reason = reason)

[potent spear]

then mode would also be one

[slate swan]

huh?

[silk fulcrum]

error?

[agile spade]

mhm

[agile spade]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[potent spear]

how would he know if the member's argument is a mode he passed, or the value of one?
it might also be that he meant to fill in the ctx, one, two ,three command, but accidentally ended up with ctx, mode
hard to explain, but not failproof I think

[potent spear]

your bot needs some perms

[agile spade]

yeah it does

stil not working

[potent spear]

you can't ban yourself, or someone with a higher/equal role than your bot I think

I'm not developing moderation bots, so idk

[slate swan]

but if all the others are made optional then one would act as mode, wouldn't it

[agile spade]

yeah i am trying to ban my alt so

[silk fulcrum]

or an admin

[potent spear]

right, yourself being the admin

[potent spear]

true, would be a strange argname though
mode_or_one of some sorts

[slate swan]

Let's not imagine in that case

[potent spear]

I have something similar

city_or_postal_code

[desert badger]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/container/main.py", line 32, in <module>
    client = commands.Bot(
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'test_guild'```

never got this wtf -

[vocal snow]

Which dapi wrapper are you using?

[glad cradle]

if you're using disnake it's test_guilds

[desert badger]

nextcord

[desert badger]

im using nextcord

and in all my other bots, test_guild work

[glad cradle]

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=bot#nextcord.ext.commands.Bot

test_guild or test_guilds is not an attribute of nextcord.ext.commands.Bot

[desert badger]

it works in all my other bots tho

[silk fulcrum]

those use disnake

[desert badger]

they dont

i switched from disnake to nextcord a few months ago and i think i just still have test_guild in my code

i didnt get any errors yet, so i just kept it lol

[slate swan]

I was working on that for like an hour 😭 you're right though my fault

[glad cradle]

that's not possible

First it's test_guilds in disnake, not test_guild

[slate swan]

😳

[desert badger]

someone told me to use test_guild when i got some errors

and it worked

[glad cradle]

as you can see nextcord doesn't have that attribute for commands.Bot

[slate swan]

why don't people just use d.py

[silk fulcrum]

+++

[glad cradle]

test_guilds it's a list of guild id so as not to load the slash commands globally every time

[silk fulcrum]

the most confusing is pycord for me

[desert badger]

i know

[silk fulcrum]

discord.Bot

[slate swan]

I like this guy

[desert badger]

how do i use that in nextcord tho

[glad cradle]

disnake is also good, btw I'm thinking to reswitch to d.py

[silk fulcrum]

cus no personal opinion? or what

[glad cradle]

I will look later for you in the docs

[slate swan]

for a better opinion

[silk fulcrum]

oh ok

[slate swan]

🥺

[slate swan]

Possible to use id in
@commands.has_role(Id)?

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[slate swan]

mhm?

Just do @fresh banemands.has_role(123)?

...

[silk fulcrum]

yes

[slate swan]

@commands.has_role(920208020473008139)
``` fine?

[silk fulcrum]

yes....

[slate swan]

which message did you even reply to, my discord cache

[primal moat]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

🤷

[glad cradle]

fix your second if indentation

yes

😐

if argument == "...":
    ...
elif argument == "...":
    ...

basics of python

[slate swan]

Is it
commands.MissingPermissions
Or
commands.MissingRequiredPermissions?

[quaint epoch]

the first

[slate swan]

k

[glad cradle]

!d discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions

exception discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions(missing_permissions, *args)```
Exception raised when the command invoker lacks permissions to run a command.

This inherits from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

[hot prawn]

Something named elif in python exist

[junior verge]

whats the thing called again to use a command if you have x ID

[honest shoal]

in english reference, it should be else if, right? In python that thing is elif(else+if)

[limber bison]

whAT 400MB one contain ?

[vocal snow]

#databases

[limber bison]

contuniue to if statement hmm

is anything like async and await while useing mysql ?

[silk fulcrum]

!pypi aiomysql

[unkempt canyon]

aiomysql v0.1.1

MySQL driver for asyncio.

[limber bison]

its impotant in my bot dev. right ? or simple sql will work ?

[vocal snow]

Yes use aiomysql for discord.bot

[limber bison]

got it , let me read doc thanks btw

[silk fulcrum]

maybe their dashboard is working with mysql

[vocal snow]

Wdym.for a discord bot

[silk fulcrum]

what's with your keyboard

[vocal snow]

Mobile

[silk fulcrum]

ohkay

[vocal snow]

It's scalable

[junior verge]

@commands.command()
    async def test(ctx):

        id1 = 813824599522541628
        id2 = 574217755692236803
        if ctx.message.author.id == id1 or ctx.message.author.id == id2:
            ctx.send("a")
        else:
            None

``` Should this just work?

[vocal snow]

why the else: None

[silk fulcrum]

who as... well, must agree... mysql is overkill

[vocal snow]

It's better in the long run

[glad cradle]

ctx.send is a coroutine, you should await it await ctx.send(...)

[junior verge]

idk what it should be like I want else: just ignore if you get me

[vocal snow]

Just don't have an else

[junior verge]

yeah mb I know that

[vocal snow]

How so?

[junior verge]

ah yeah lmao

[vocal snow]

It's not like using MySQL is causing any performance hits

However if data size and read/writes increase then sqlite won't be enough

That's going to mean refactoring, copying old data etc

[silk fulcrum]

btw, how do I copy data from postgres to async postgres

wait nvm nononono dont asnwer that

im stiupid

[vocal snow]

It's not like discord bots store only some specific data

Depends on what the bot does

A music bot could be storing lots and lots of track metadata

[silk fulcrum]

noone uses them because youtube is denied... wait nvm noone cares about rules

[vocal snow]

APIs don't let you collect data and statistics

Of course it is. But for large amounts of data MySQL is better

Why are you assuming that discord bots are always small and private

[silk fulcrum]

i also like it

[vocal snow]

And using MySQL hardly increases development time

Except for the initial setup everything is the same

It even has support for more types

You're saying that they have less knowledge now, so they will never be able to make a popular bot?

[vale wing]

Argument

.txt files are best for database no cap

[vocal snow]

So you agree that their bot can be in many servers? There is a chance?

In which case it's better to build a scalable solution in the first place

Depending on the data being stored it absolutely does

[silk fulcrum]

who said they're bad?

databases were always behind them

[vale wing]

Ikr who tf uses databases anyway

[silk fulcrum]

Everyone just does that for a joke, cus why not right? who ever will store data in them...

[vocal snow]

It's 30 mph now but it can speed up anytime 🤷

Unless of course it's a private bot and OP is going to intentionally restrict it

[vale wing]

Migrating between databases is pain

That's why txt files are better

[vocal snow]

Have you seen the discord channel db thing

Why not

Can requirements never change

[vocal snow]

https://pypi.org/project/DiscordDatabase/

[hushed galleon]

thats cursed

[potent spear]

also, initializing that db in on_ready is... debatable...

[vale wing]

Where source

[hushed galleon]

well it seems new() is merely creating the channel if it doesnt exist in cache, so its not that big of a deal

compared to its existence

[vocal snow]

https://github.com/ankushKun/DiscordDatabase

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

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

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

Examples

Usage...

[vocal snow]

ctx.guilds.bans

it doesn't return a list

what

why did you make it ctx.guilds

i was just telling you that ctx.guild.bans() is an AsyncIterator

not a list

[vocal snow]

that's why i linked this

[shrewd apex]

just write an example -_-

[vocal snow]

there are literally 2 examples in the doc

[shrewd apex]

what we here for if PPL read docs😔

[vocal snow]

to show them how to read doc so they dont need someone to hold their hand everytime they run into a problem ☺️

[shrewd apex]

life be easier if PPL read docs and extra bonus if they read a bit of python basics before reading docs

[vocal snow]

yes !!

[shrewd apex]

the ideal utopian idea

gl achieving

for now spork feed them if not spoon

[vocal snow]

spork is demon spawn

did you see the examples in the doc

[shrewd apex]

it's like whitest invention ever up along with stuff like garlic crusher
https://tenor.com/view/uncle-roger-uncle-roger-meme-uncle-roger-so-white-why-so-white-so-white-gif-25414039

[vocal snow]

ill wait

[vocal snow]

lmaoo

which example do you not understand

[shrewd apex]

ur coding skill idk but u are very good at designing embeds that's a very important talent for making discord bots

[vocal snow]

true very good UX

[shrewd apex]

now that await checkinput() gives me a feeling that co pilot was suggesting and u pressed tab to complete

ur wait_for lacks checks

[vocal snow]

your variable naming is insanely creative

[shrewd apex]

and a timeout

[vocal snow]

"susy_baka_check" so beautiful

[shrewd apex]

i saw check_dic before

[sick birch]

Also this code could be leaned up a lot

Too much nesting, hard to follow

[shrewd apex]

yeah define a checkinput

idk what it does tho what does it do

or whats it supposed to do

so why did check_input become checkinput

[cerulean shale]

💀

but i did install the package

[shrewd apex]

just install dpy👀

[cerulean shale]

i did 😢

[shrewd apex]

2.0 has slash commands

[cerulean shale]

hmmm

idk i installed discord.py

[shrewd apex]

discord_slash != discord.py

[cerulean shale]

then i installed discord-py-slash-command

and it said successfully installed

[sick birch]

All the discordpy slash command extension modules should be take off pip, they’re garbage lol

My humble opinion

[shrewd apex]

just the name looks sussy enough that i won't install it

[cerulean shale]

f

[shrewd apex]

it like writing on label i-am-not-fake-get-me

[cerulean shale]

i watched some yt videos about slash commands and somehow it works for them

;-;

[shrewd apex]

show check_dic

[shrewd apex]

yt tutorials and discord bot python are few words u try to not put together

the check_dic function def

not u calling it

ohhh

its "r" not w

sry thank

[shrewd apex]

what's bombs now

hmm ic

so are u sure the guessed word is in the json file

and it's all lower case

like ball should be there in key as ball and not Ball

[desert badger]

does the json have to be inside my cogs folder ?

[shrewd apex]

what's inside the json

[shrewd apex]

not needed but can be kept

[shrewd apex]

u are passing wrong bomb

param

[desert badger]

is that alr ?

[shrewd apex]

just clear it and write again

it looks fine

add a few print statements and check

like print the word in checkdic print wort and other all that stuff

and print other also

print it before the of statement

even before the for

just after loading the json add those prints

[whole sparrow]

possible to send ephemeral = True on ctx.send?

or send an ephemeral message with ctx

[shrewd apex]

no

yes

add print(other)

also

[coral flame]

i'm trying to define some application commands inside of my commands.Bot subclass, yet am running into an issue. If i don't call tree.add_command for the commands and go to run the commands, I get CommandNotFound, yet when I add it and then sync, I get CommandSignatureMismatch. What exactly am i doing wrong?

[cerulean shale]

how 🥲

[shrewd apex]

remove print(word) sorry didn't see was helping out a friend

[shrewd apex]

check the pins the install link there the git link

[shrewd apex]

code

[cerulean shale]

got it thx man

wait so i should install the git right? just asking to clarify

[shrewd apex]

on_ready looks terrible

[shrewd apex]

just run that pip install in replit shell

[cerulean shale]

ight

[coral flame]

ok? so what exactly am i doing wrong regarding my commands?

[shrewd apex]

what it printed

thats it what about all the other stuff

[shrewd apex]

firstly load cogs sync and all in a setup hook

thats so strange we had like 2 print statements

did u remove print wort?

[cerulean shale]

@shrewd apex IT DOESN'T WORK 🥲

[slate swan]

poor ashy

[shrewd apex]

how this look like it didn't work

it worked no ;-;

[cerulean shale]

it shows the same thing

wait i will show you

🥲

[shrewd apex]

there was word and wort just remove word why remove wort as well

[slate swan]

sheesh that's not dpy that's discord_slash

[coral flame]

alr, done. doesn't make a real difference tho

[shrewd apex]

remove that import statement

[cerulean shale]

k

[shrewd apex]

wait lemme link u how to use slash commands

#discord-bots message

now run

[cerulean shale]

yeah yeah i saw that

[ionic edge]

?

wow

@slate swan which discord version are you using?

[shrewd apex]

are u on 2.0

[ionic edge]

no

then?

[coral flame]

there's a pycord server y'know?

[ionic edge]

which one is better

[coral flame]

might find better help there

[slate swan]

at least other forks dont have the discord namespace

[ionic edge]

need help!

[slate swan]

install dpy 2.0

[ionic edge]

but i heard its not good

is it truew?

heyy can you invite me to your dc server , i wanna see your bot once

[sick birch]

False

[glad cradle]

I think that you can't use app_commands without d.py 2.0 lmao

[ionic edge]

i updated

still i cant same error

[brazen raft]

You have to update it by installing it from GitHub
