If I host for 4 clients, then it's already 50$ profit

[brazen raft]

I get it you make personal server bots then

[tidal hawk]

Doesn't work?

man's faster than google

still why not use google

How can I programm a music bot

[tidal hawk]

Youtube music?

[distant pendant]

youtube or spotify

[tidal hawk]

Youtube music bot is against tos

Send the line where it should print that

[patent wagon]

I found some hardware to store the bot

I mean to host it

How much ram does it take on average

Also what are some usefull tips if I'm trying to sell the bot

Security wise

[slate swan]

so when i try to type a cmd

it dosent show

and the bot is up

please help

[brazen raft]

You don't need any more than 8 gigabytes of RAM for just the bot unless it's going to use very big runtime resources

[slate swan]

pls help me my bot is up and when i type the cmd dosent show any message

[brazen raft]

Don't let them run arbitrary Python code like in eval or in exec and preferably limit their access to the internet

[tidal hawk]

2-4 gb is enough aswell

[slate swan]

please helpp

[tidal hawk]

Does it print without persistent views on ready?

[slate swan]

PLEASE HELLPP

[slate swan]

^^

[tidal hawk]

No error? xd

[vocal snow]

Enabled message content intents?

[slate swan]

how i enable that

[tidal hawk]

Brruh

[vocal snow]

!intent

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

Dm me if you are a good developer

[vocal snow]

What is a good developer

[tidal hawk]

That's a lot of errors xd

[slate swan]

I need a developer to code me a bot

[tidal hawk]

Notepad? :o

[vocal snow]

You need message_content intent

[slate swan]

Where i add it

[slate swan]

Great quesiton! 😄 I was just about ask similar. 😉

[vocal snow]

With the other intents you're enabling

[slate swan]

is this good?

[vocal snow]

No

You need to enable message_content intent

You're only enabling members

[slate swan]

but it does send message

when i ping him like @slate swan it says but when i do other cmds they dont show

[vocal snow]

What

[vocal snow]

You need message_content intent to get message content from a message

[slate swan]

and how i do that

[slate swan]

I am good

where i type it

[vocal snow]

Read the tag

[tidal hawk]

is the bot online?

[vocal snow]

For $?

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[vocal snow]

I'm not asking or offering paid work

[tidal hawk]

isn't your async def on_ready indentation fked?

[slate swan]

good??

[vocal snow]

message_content not members intent why aren't you understanding this

[slate swan]

but that code is in my code

[tidal hawk]

it's on the same line as def init

[slate swan]

I dont know python

i just want to do a license bot...

[tidal hawk]

no? xD

[vocal snow]

How you going to code in python without knowing python

[slate swan]

the code is from github

[vocal snow]

There are many free courses online, you can take one

[slate swan]

is that the whole ss ?

[vocal snow]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

Hey @slate swan!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[vocal snow]

Ayo spoonfeeding isn't allowed here

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sifazujuxe

[vocal snow]

Yeah so teach him, don't spoonfeed

[slate swan]

Then they need to learn basics.

so is the code good

[tidal hawk]

xD

[slate swan]

no

the pastebin one

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sifazujuxe

what i need to do from that code

this is the only message it can send

You have only shown the main file, not all the others (please don't though). You need to really contact the owner of the bot or read its documentation to understand it better, there shouldn't be any reason to change anything if you have downloaded it from GitHub.

[tidal hawk]

Google it how to manipulate a picture like that, and then implement it on Discord bot

[brazen raft]

Just so you know, instead of

async def petpet(ctx, *, member: discord.Member = None):
    member = member or ctx.author
    ...

you can do

async def petpet(ctx, member: discord.Member = commands.Author):
    ...

Also line 3140 is unnecessary and I don't know how gen_petpet nor how generate_image are implemented so I can't help if they are erroneous

[tidal hawk]

How many lines of code do you have @slate swan ?

[brazen raft]

I know, right? I would split my project into several files

[tidal hawk]

over 3500?

or is petpet the newest function in ur file?

Wtf

[brazen raft]

We can help

[tidal hawk]

over 4000?

Goddamnn

[shut axle]

How do I get the user's badges shown as emoji?

[brazen raft]

No

[tidal hawk]

How many modules have you imported? xd

Hahaha

It would take him a whole day to organize his functions into cogs xD

Try making it yourself first

mhm

[slate swan]

Just use asyncio.sleep with while true event

[tidal hawk]

He meant ratelimit ig

[slate swan]

Like

@bot.slash_command(name="stats")
async def stats(interaction: nextcord.Interaction):
#create channels stuff here 
while True:
   #update channels 
asyncio.sleep(5)```

[tidal hawk]

What?

[slate swan]

That's how it would work

So it updates every 5 seconds (I think)

I can't remember time formatting for async

[tidal hawk]

You can only change the channel name 2 times in 10 minutes + you'd want to use tasks.loop for updating the channel names, no?

[slate swan]

That could work both ways work

My way would require less code

[tidal hawk]

So whenever bot does a restart then your method wouldn't work anymore

[brazen raft]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[brazen raft]

You need to store the ID of the channel somewhere in order to retrieve it in the function

If it's a single server bot, storing the ID in a bot variable is good enough

[tidal hawk]

,

[brazen raft]

It just calls a function that edits the category every now and then

That's how you would want to define the function for the task

Then store state channel IDs in a database of some sort and have the task go through each one and update it according to the channel's server

[slate swan]

less code is not always good code

plus a while loop? definitely not an option when you can use the async version for loops

[tidal hawk]

10 points for creativity

[brazen raft]

discord.py is back and booming

[slate swan]

plus it's py-cord not pycord. They are different libs

[slate swan]

I mean, disnake existed way back
nextcord could be considered too

[brazen raft]

You do you

PyCord is specifically a fork of discord.py

[tidal hawk]

How many lines do you have in your bot main.py file? @slate swan has 4900+ 😎

[slate swan]

I know that it's a fork smh

Nextcord is best fork in my opinion

disnake is. end of discussion

[brazen raft]

What kind of bot commands

[slate swan]

Well do ctrl + f and search @bot.slash_command

[slate swan]

last time I remember making a bot, my bot.py only had the BotApp subclass

lmaao

smh

[brazen raft]

Well I don't know whether slash commands appear in bot.commands in pycord

[slate swan]

py-cord*

[brazen raft]

Right

That

[slate swan]

hyphens are cute ngl

[tidal hawk]

Did you follow the example correctly?

You also have to modify the Ticket view

Compare these two views and see if your have smth different

Send a picture of your ticket view

well well well

spot the difference

Also why is your ticket buttons in different classes?!

Yeah

Define a simple View that persists between bot restarts.

In order for a View to persist between restarts it needs to meet the following conditions:

1) The timeout of the View has to be set to None

2) Every item in the View has to have a custom_id set

It is recommended that the custom_id be sufficiently unique to

prevent conflicts with other buttons the bot sends.

For this example the custom_id is prefixed with the name of the bot.

Note that custom_ids can only be up to 100 characters long.

[tidal hawk]

Follow these requirements

[naive briar]

What are you trying to do?

Use interaction.original_response to get the message

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

If the interaction response was a newly created message (i.e. through [`InteractionResponse.send_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.send_message "discord.InteractionResponse.send_message") or [`InteractionResponse.defer()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.defer "discord.InteractionResponse.defer"), where `thinking` is `True`) then this returns the message that was sent using that response. Otherwise, this returns the message that triggered the interaction (i.e. through a component).

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[naive briar]

Eh yeah, you might have to use that instead 🥴

[slate swan]

py-cord sigh

[torn sail]

I don’t think that’s pycord

[slate swan]

it is

[torn sail]

Which part of pycord?

[torn sail]

This?

[cold trout]

hey, got a question, im having an error called "main() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given".

what is a positional argument?

[slate swan]

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[slate swan]

py-cord*
what do you mean by part?

they clearly mentioned that it's py-cord

[torn sail]

Nvm

[cold trout]

im setting a discord bot, im having this error msg after implementation

where should i go then

[slate swan]

#❓｜how-to-get-help or #python-discussion

ok thanks.

[whole sparrow]

Has disnake completely migrated to slash commands or hasnt happened yet?

[patent wagon]

is it possibe to limit a function to only one server? lets say python code can somehow check if its in a certain server and then if it is in that server a command becomes available

[fading marlin]

discord IDs are BIGINT, not INTEGER

[proven ore]

any nice project ideas

[fading marlin]

use custom checks or just check the guild ID inside the command

[patent wagon]

is it possibe to limit a function to only one server? lets say python code can somehow check if its in a certain server and then if it is in that server a command becomes available

[fading marlin]

I just replied...

[patent wagon]

o

for some reason it didnt ping me

sorry

[austere vale]

i changed the table to 'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS blocked(user BIGINT)' and it still gave me the same error

also i have some other databases for leveling up and stuff, and it works fine with user being set to INTEGER?

[fading marlin]

the table already probably exists, which is why it still errored. Also, your tuple isn't really a tuple

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[fading marlin]

probably the same thing

[feral frost]

you can also make it an ephemeral message

[austere vale]

im trying to create a database of a list of users so the bot can "block" them

when anyone dms the bot, the bot checks if their user id is in the table, and if it is, the function returns. if the id isnt in the table, the user isnt blocked, and the bot forwards the message to the mods in the server

[feral frost]

so it only shows up for the person who clicks it

[fading marlin]

that's against TOS

[feral frost]

i dont think it can but idk

[fading marlin]

making your bot create invites to a server so that you can join it

[austere vale]

how come my other databases with user INTEGER work and not this one?

[fading marlin]

wdym "globalchat"?

[fading marlin]

idk, you're probably doing something else. Either way, you're passing (member.id), you should be doing (member.id,) (notice the coma). Cause otherwise (member.id) would be equivalent to member.id, and you don't want that do you?

no, I don't

[austere vale]

ah that fixed it, thank you so much

[fading marlin]

ah

[slate swan]

Not possible

You can create invites but users can't join

Since bot invite link is only usable by other bots

[manic wing]

since when

[slate swan]

Since always…

[manic wing]

and bots cant join unless an admin invites them

[slate swan]

Well that's true but my theory is if they could join servers they could use that link

[manic wing]

so you’re telling me if i made an invite for a server with a bot, i wouldnt be able to join?

[fading marlin]

they can??

[slate swan]

Yes but there pointless

[slate swan]

Correct

[manic wing]

what

where did you hear this

[fading marlin]

a user can join with an invite created by a bot, wdym

[slate swan]

I figured it out myself

[slate swan]

They can't

[manic wing]

you might want to do some better testing

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[slate swan]

Yup that's it

[feral frost]

hey @slate swan i have an answer to your question of joining servers your bot is in

[manic wing]

you’re telling me

if i sent you that invite

you wouldnt be able to join?

[slate swan]

Yup

[manic wing]

do you mind me sending you the invite?

[slate swan]

Nope try it

[manic wing]

can you send a screenshot of what happens when you try and click it

[slate swan]

Sure

[manic wing]

theory debunked 👍

[feral frost]

np

[fading marlin]

again, that's against TOS

which falls under rule #5

[mossy jacinth]

how can i add a user to the channel?

[fading marlin]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=see - below, reason=None, **permissions)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

[fading marlin]

pass member as the target

[patent wagon]

how do i print the html of a page

im trying to webscrape but people have told me that "requests" module should not be used

[fading marlin]

await r.read()

[patent wagon]

async with cs.get(url of a page) as r:
await r.read()

that?

[fading marlin]

requests is blocking, which is why you shouldn't be using it. Also, please make sure you're compliant and aware of the website's TOS, as they might not allow webscrapping

[fading marlin]

correct

[feral frost]

you have to make a cooldown event

[fading marlin]

use an error handler to catch the exceptions

[feral frost]

for my slash bot it looks like this @tree.error async def on_app_command_error(interaction: discord.Interaction, error: app_commands.AppCommandError): if isinstance(error, app_commands.CommandOnCooldown): await interaction.response.send_message(error, ephemeral=True) else: raise error

[patent wagon]

do i still need to use beautifullsoup?

[fading marlin]

depends on what you're trying to do/how you want to do it

[feral frost]

ok

i use this in my text bot @bot.event async def on_command_error(ctx, error): if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown): cd = round(error.retry_after) minutes = str(cd // 60) seconds = str(cd % 60) embed = discord.Embed(title="Oop, something went wrong!", description=f"Try this command again in {minutes} egg whites, and {seconds} egg yellows", color=color) embed.set_footer(text=footer) await ctx.send(embed=embed) if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound): await ctx.send("I could not find that command. Use M.help to see al the commands.")

[patent wagon]

@client.command()
async def func(ctx):
results=requests.get(url of a page)

doc = BeautifulSoup(results.text, "html.parser")
vallist= doc.find_all("span")

someting like that

[feral frost]

👌

[fading marlin]

try it and see. Change requests with aiohttp though. However I don't think this'll be the correct place for your questions as this isn't really discord bot-related anymore

[patent wagon]

ok tnc

also i think i did someting wrong

cos this is not working :

async def bruh(ctx):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
async with cs.get(url) as r:
await r.read()
print(r.read())

i think i misunderstood something

[patent wagon]

^

[fading marlin]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error you can use this to make a command-only error handler

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event limited to a single command. However, the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

Changed in version 2.0: `coro` parameter is now positional-only.

[fading marlin]

you need to await r.read. You're printing it without awaiting it

[patent wagon]

so await r.read():

print(r.read())

[fading marlin]

no, that'll give you a syntax error

[patent wagon]

i dont understand

[fading marlin]

you need to await it

[patent wagon]

so just await

when i did that it didnt print

[fading marlin]

do you have any experience with asyncio?

[patent wagon]

not much

[fading marlin]

you don't just "await", you have to await SOMETHING, and that SOMETHING is r.read(), because r.read() is a COROUTINE, and COROUTINES have to be awaited

[slate swan]

I can send any code if needed

[patent wagon]

i do get that what i ment by "just await" was so just the await r.read()

bc it doesnt print it out

[fading marlin]

read the error, you've got 2 commands with the same name

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents.default()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("f Loaded.")

@bot.command()
async def hi():
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Elusive - API", color=discord.Color.from_rgb(0, 64, 255))
    embed.add_field(name="hi", value="hi", inline=False)
    embed.set_image(url="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/971538759516581888/971585692016709663/ezgif.com-gif-maker_1.gif")
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

bot.run("token is acc here just remvoed",bot=True)

none of the commands work not even the help command, no errors and it does print "f Loaded" on start

[slate swan]

still got an error after fixing that

[fading marlin]

you don't await something once, and then call the same function without awaiting it. Each time you call it, you gotta await it to get the result

[fading marlin]

send new traceback then

[fading marlin]

you gotta enable message_content intents

[slate swan]

intents.message_content = True

[fading marlin]

correct

[fading marlin]

same error, you've got 2 or more commands with the same name/alias

[slate swan]

that line errors

[slate swan]

i dont tho lol can u hop in a vc rq

[fading marlin]

send updated code/traceback then

[slate swan]

import discord

update your dpy

[slate swan]

whats the command

[fading marlin]

I rather not

[slate swan]

do i just pip install it again in a batch file

[slate swan]

have intents enabled on dev app?

[fading marlin]

if you're using discord.py python3 -m pip install -U discord.py iirc

[slate swan]

do i run that in a batch file

[patent wagon]

this doesnt work

[fading marlin]

in your terminal

[patent wagon]

could you just please end my suffer and tell me how do i print it

[slate swan]

hold on

[fading marlin]

@slate swan you might want to check this out after updating too: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html

I'm already telling you how to print it

[patent wagon]

you didnt?

[patent wagon]

[fading marlin]

text is also a coroutine

and you gotta await coroutines

[patent wagon]

so how would it look like?

[slate swan]

i installed it through the microsoft store nothing changed

i installed 3.10*

and i ran the command in terminal and it worked but same error

[fading marlin]

same way you're doing it with ctx.send, just change it to results.text

[fading marlin]

are you using a venv? make sure you're using the correct python version

[slate swan]

which version am i supposed to have

i have 3.10 rn

[fading marlin]

use py -3 a.py then, otherwise you might be using python 2.7

is this saying i dont even have python on my computer

[fading marlin]

you're almost there. You gotta call the function, and you gotta move it to the first argument of the BeautifulSoup class

[patent wagon]

call what function

[fading marlin]

py -0 for available pythons, not -0

[fading marlin]

results.text...

[patent wagon]

i dont fully get it

[glad cradle]

!function

[unkempt canyon]

Calling vs. Referencing functions

When assigning a new name to a function, storing it in a container, or passing it as an argument, a common mistake made is to call the function. Instead of getting the actual function, you'll get its return value.

In Python you can treat function names just like any other variable. Assume there was a function called now that returns the current time. If you did x = now(), the current time would be assigned to x, but if you did x = now, the function now itself would be assigned to x. x and now would both equally reference the function.

Examples

# assigning new name

def foo():
    return 'bar'

def spam():
    return 'eggs'

baz = foo
baz() # returns 'bar'

ham = spam
ham() # returns 'eggs'

# storing in container

import math
functions = [math.sqrt, math.factorial, math.log]
functions[0](25) # returns 5.0
# the above equivalent to math.sqrt(25)

# passing as argument

class C:
    builtin_open = staticmethod(open)

# open function is passed
# to the staticmethod class

[fading marlin]

@patent wagon you should probably learn some async programming before you tackle dpy

can u just tell me

whats wrong

[glad cradle]

though calling a function is not really async related, it's basic syntax knowledge

[patent wagon]

ill leave server and never ask nother time for help

[fading marlin]

you're not calling the function

[patent wagon]

pls just ned the godamn suffe

[patent wagon]

i

dont know how

[glad cradle]

how do you call a function in python ?

[patent wagon]

jesus fuck

ill pay u right now to tell me where i made a mistake

[fading marlin]

I'm literally telling you where you made a mistake

[patent wagon]

where

[fading marlin]

first of all, do you know what function I'm referring to?

[patent wagon]

no

[glad cradle]

the interpreter too

[patent wagon]

this is bringing me pain

[glad cradle]

the problem is await results.text

[patent wagon]

what should it be

[fading marlin]

you're not calling that function

you should be calling it

[glad cradle]

you're not calling the function, you're referencing the function

[patent wagon]

so results.text()

or?

[glad cradle]

yes

[patent wagon]

ok

[glad cradle]

don't forget the await

[patent wagon]

"and you gotta move it to the first argument of the BeautifulSoup class"

[fading marlin]

?

[glad cradle]

he's saying that the output returned by the function should be passed as first positional argument of BeautifulSoap obj

[slate swan]

same error after resintalling python

[glad cradle]

that's not a python error

[slate swan]

wrong ss

[glad cradle]

what you're doing in your code

[patent wagon]

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'ClientResponse.read' was never awaited
self._context.run(self._callback, *self._args)

could you check what dpy version you're using?

[glad cradle]

have you tried to restart the ide?

[slate swan]

yea]

[fading marlin]

you're not awaiting read

[slate swan]

whats the command

[fading marlin]

pip freeze iirc and search for discord.py

[slate swan]

1.73? i think

[patent wagon]

async def Crispy(ctx):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:

await resultsCrispy.text()

        docCrispy = BeautifulSoup(resultsCrispy, "html.parser")

        await ctx.send(docCrispy)

[glad cradle]

print(discord.__version__) or pip show discord.py

[fading marlin]

yeah, you gotta update discord.py py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py

[slate swan]

now it works

[fading marlin]

You set it to None by default

So no, it isn't required. If they don't provide it, it transforms into None

so what is it supposed to be by default?

Remove the kwarg

Don't give it a default value

You shouldnt be opening a aiohttp session each time you invoke the command and you can always aiohttp.request so you dont nest context managers

it doesnt work

?

[patent wagon]

if i dont put async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:

[primal token]

Just use the function given?

[patent wagon]

wdym?

[primal token]

^

[patent wagon]

i am doing that?

[primal token]

Either way you should start a client session once and then use that session with aiohttp.ClientSession.request

[patent wagon]

its websraping

and it chnages constantly

[primal token]

That still doesnt have any effect on each HTTP request

[patent wagon]

then how should it look?

Just make an instance of aiohttp.ClientSession in something like setup_hook and use setattr to set an attribute of the newly made session and then you can use that

are there any good tutoriaals

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[vocal snow]

You can wait for a message event

[untold iron]

Ahh thank you very much

i will try it out and see how it goes

Not sure what to input in the brackets though, is the client.command not an event though no?

How can i pass in a requirement for the words Yes or something?

Check the examples in the doc

why is this an error? do i need to import something? also this is a cog file idk if that matters

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

I would recommend you learn all the concepts that are used in Discord.py, heres a list of them with good resources:

ImportError: cannot import name 'RequestsWebhookAdapter' from 'discord' (/home/container/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/init.py)

fix?

[vague zephyr]

i'm stupid can't help sorry

[wispy spade]

can you provide the full traceback of that error? sounds like another package might be conflicting with your discord package

[slate swan]

thats the only thing it gives

[wispy spade]

I think it should give a bit more than that, but it does look like some other package is conflicting

[slate swan]

fixed it

i needed to go to older discord.py

[vague zephyr]

why are you still using discord.py

[slate swan]

im not spending my time to migrate over

it works, it works lmao

[vague zephyr]

it's not that hard to migrate

[wispy spade]

or yeah that could have been it

[wispy spade]

iirc dpy 2.0 changed that aspect of webhooks (it's somewhere in the migration guide)

[slate swan]

i found this good hosting, that only charges 1.50 a month

[vague zephyr]

i use to host my bots on a raspberry pi

[slate swan]

lmao, when you get mad clients that use your bot

you can't be using raspberry pi

[vague zephyr]

yeah i know

then i switched to ovh

[slate swan]

plox.host

best hosting

[vague zephyr]

oh yeah i heard of it

is it that good

[slate swan]

ive had no issues with it

[rare echo]

bit of a reach x)

[slate swan]

tru tru lmao

[vague zephyr]

just like i have other stuff on my server so transferring all of it would be a pain in the ass

[rare echo]

you seem like you don’t like updating

[vague zephyr]

i do freelance shit and most of my clients are from france

[primal token]

It would depend.

[vague zephyr]

or neibhouring

so since ovh has pretty good servers there i never changed

until that incident when one of their data centers literally went on fire

[slate swan]

all I can think of the word "plox" is
please -> pls -> plz -> pliz -> plix -> plox
That's trust issues right there

Do you have any feedback?

Is the thumbnail redundant?

[rare echo]

same image 3 times, yes

[slate swan]

Okay I remove.

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#slash-command-application-with-a-bot
so any way to put this command inside the class?

[vocal snow]

Inside the Bot subclass?

Why do you need it there

[primal token]

Wouldnt recommend it, It's better to have it in a modular ext over having it in your Bot subclass which may clutter the whole class's structure and will not have the benefits of something like reloading a commands state.

[ionic garden]

ok, but is it possible

[vocal snow]

Yes

You'll need to use self.tree.add_command or whatever the method is to register it

[ionic garden]

oh ic

ok yeah i'll just stick w/ the og

How can I reload a YAML file without having to restart the bot?

[vocal snow]

What do you mean reload a yaml file

[kind trellis]

Like how you can reload a cog

I want to do that with a YAML file

[vocal snow]

Those are two very different things

If you want to just re-read the yaml file then just re-read the yaml file

[kind trellis]

How? I tried that and the bot just reads the cached old version anyway

[vocal snow]

How are you re-reading it?

This is using channelgroups

Not bot.channelgroups

[kind trellis]

Reeeeee

So, bot.channelgroups will 100% work?

[slate swan]

well yes

[kind trellis]

Ok, I'll make the fix when I wake up

[primal token]

Not sure what youre trying to do exactly but i do feel that this should addressed, with open will block the event loop as its not scheduling the task of a function, it's not really an issue as it wont block the event loop for much time but it's good practice to open a file asynchronously so you dont face any weird behaviors or speed related issues.

[kind trellis]

It's never going to be on a task

[kind trellis]

Thanks

[slate swan]

you can definitely rephrase this to be less confusing i think

[primal token]

I didnt ment it as a Task object, but an actual job a function may carry

[kind trellis]

Noted

[primal token]

Fixed minor issues, it should be readable for someone with knowledge of asyncio

[slate swan]

yep still pretty bad wording there

[primal token]

Can you please enlighten me?

[slate swan]

here'a a simpler explanation: open() is a blocking IO call, you should probably use an async variant of the function to avoid blocking the event loop.

[slate swan]

as its not scheduling the task of a function
what does this even mean?

[meager chasm]

"as its not scheduling the task of a function" what that even eman xdd

[primal token]

I ment, not scheduling a function to the event loop, which the wording issue occurred upon an edit i made

[slate swan]

you don't schedule a function to the event loop...

[primal token]

If you want to a TL;DR, sure

[primal token]

a coroutine!

[slate swan]

your explanation is simply too long, it can be shortened without losing information.

[slate swan]

that's a generator object

it's not the same

[primal token]

What?

[slate swan]

given your statement i assumed you would have a technical understanding too

[primal token]

A coroutine can be a generator, yes, but i was just correcting myself so i dont know what's your point?

[slate swan]

a coroutine object is not a function (or callable, for a better term)

[slate swan]

a coroutine is a generator (subclass)

[slate swan]

this is my point

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Objects/genobject.c#L1170
if you want to read the source for coroutine

[primal token]

What do you mean exactly by

you don't schedule a function to the event loop...
?

[primal token]

I may have worded it incorrectly but i did correct myself

[shrewd apex]

[vocal snow]

Wdym preoccupied

You shouldn't have blocking code

[vale wing]

I can't read C

Especially cython extensions

[glad cradle]

AFAIK when you have blocking code the connection on between the Bot and discord websocket receives a delay, this delay accumulates until the Bot disconnects from the websocket due to the delay, if the library you are using implements a resume logic then the library will try to reconnect.
Events dispatched between the resume operation are lost, your Bot will not receive them, instead when the bot is behind the discord websocket the bot will perform the functions associated with event dispatches delayed

[slate swan]

wdym by “preoccupied”?

you mean a blocked event loop?

[glad cradle]

if the resume start on (bot blocked) it should receives a, b, e

btw the bot doesn't do resume when it's blocked, it'll try to resume the session when it's disconnected from the discord ws

the delay between discord ws and your Bot leave some messages sent by Discord unanswered, or rather, the replies your Bot sends them late, sometimes too late and then discord will disconnect your Bot thinking it is dead

[slate swan]

that’s no good... you should avoid doing that or just don’t use an async library

[primal token]

just dont?

you mean use an async library?

[slate swan]

can you give an example of what you’re trying to do that causes ur bot to enter this blocked state?

yep, you should use asyncio’s networking implementation

hm

what is “Stream”?

you use await reader.read(...)

well yeah i know what you mean now

[glad cradle]

Bot B receives data, so how it can't know? that depends on how Bot B dispatch custom events

[slate swan]

referring to it as “Stream” is way too vague

yes, you can use loop.create_task()

i mean a little context would be nice, “asyncio streams” makes more sense to me

yep

asyncio.get_running_loop() should be sufficient

assuming you’re using client.run() in discord.py

i mean you can read the source for yourself if you want

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v1.7.3/discord/client.py#L357-%23L395

and this is how the on_message event is dispatched, for example

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v1.7.3/discord/state.py#L491

self.dispatch is a bound Client.dispatch method

discord.py internals are pretty terrible, trying to read it is a nightmare

👍

[glad cradle]

http.py is one of the most hellish file

[primal token]

The whole codebase should be restructured

[robust fulcrum]

Guys is there any event in dpy that gets triggered when bot gets rate limited?

[vale wing]

The errors start coming up, you may get them in on_error method of commands.Bot that's for sure

Because it might occur in listeners, on_command_error is not really suitable

[robust fulcrum]

on_error is event?

[vale wing]

It's a method of commands.Bot as I said

[robust fulcrum]

bot.on_error?

[vale wing]

Take a look at this https://github.com/Exenifix/AIAS/blob/master/utils/bot.py#L106-L108

[unkempt canyon]

utils/bot.py lines 106 to 108

async def on_error(self, event_method: str, *args, **kwargs):
    self.log.error("Unhandled exception occured at %s", event_method)
    await self.log_error()```

[robust fulcrum]

So i put this in my bot subclass?

I mean the on_error method

[slate swan]

all of it's bad imo

lol i mean if you think http.py is bad, you haven't seen the commands extension

or state.py

or gateway.py

honestly at this point i'm gonna start listing out all the files

[slate swan]

check ext.commands.core.py

most wtf thing to ever exist

[robust fulcrum]

@vale wing it not worked

    async def on_error():
        print("rate limited")
        os.system("kill 1")

[vale wing]

The on_error has arguments

And the error is not necessary the HTTPException with 429 code

!d sys.exc_info you get the exception itself via this

[unkempt canyon]

sys.exc\_info

sys.exc_info()```
This function returns a tuple of three values that give information about the exception that is currently being handled. The information returned is specific both to the current thread and to the current stack frame. If the current stack frame is not handling an exception, the information is taken from the calling stack frame, or its caller, and so on until a stack frame is found that is handling an exception. Here, “handling an exception” is defined as “executing an except clause.” For any stack frame, only information about the exception being currently handled is accessible.

[vale wing]

Also about this, I'm not sure what exactly kill 1 does in replit, but it seems like it kills the running process, which means your bot will shutdown. You might want to use shell script to restart the bot instead

[pulsar solstice]

how to save my 8ball command responce in cache that the response of a question never changes.

then if u ask a same question to the bot again and again it should always give the same answer

[robust fulcrum]

Ye how to?

[vale wing]

Just use a dict

[vale wing]

Have you tried googling

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[robust fulcrum]

No

[vale wing]

You should

[robust fulcrum]

Bruh?

[vale wing]

That's a helpful skill for a programmer

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[robust fulcrum]

I need one help

how to restart my bot?

[vale wing]

Personally I'd do it with shell script

[slate swan]

if you want the responses to be same throughout, you'd have to use a database
but it's impl with cache could be with a dict

[pulsar solstice]

I can't understand cache and can't find a good documentation to learn about it

[placid skiff]

The cache is just a volatile type memory, it is handled by the processor of the machine
When we say that a data is stored in the cache it means that in that specific instance of a process you can access that data
When you declare a variable for example, it is not allocated in the memory permanently, the portion of memory that needed to be stored by a variable will be allocated only during the runtime of your program. Once the program finish the data will not physically exist anymore
So to do that, you only need to create a dict inside of your program, accessible everywhere in your code, and the trick is done

[rugged shadow]

you don't have to say all that

[placid skiff]

He was confused about what is the cache, we're here to help people learn. I've just explained him how cache and runtime memory works, those things are not useless as they appear

[rugged shadow]

you were talking about the low-level cache

the very low-level one

you could've just said "make a dict and set it to the first response of that question"

[placid skiff]

Ashley told to him and he didn't understand
That means that he needed an explanation

[placid skiff]

well i would say is the most useful skill for a programmer

[vale wing]

Also docs reading

But they come from google

So yeah you are right

[vale wing]

So basically you save stuff somewhere not to fetch/generate it every time

[pulsar solstice]

hmm okay... like it will store and save a output to save computing if the output in needed again?

[vale wing]

Yes like that

[slate swan]

cache ( in discord.py ) are just dictionaries which saves IDs and objects as key-value pairs
for example guilds are stored like this ```py
guilds = {guild_id: guild_object}

when you use get_guild, get_member etc, dict.get is called for those objs

[vale wing]

For example you want a set of records from database with very complex condition, large database and small amount of records you actually need, you can just fetch them once from database and use

[pulsar solstice]

how to store them in cache now?

[vale wing]

Although in case of database you might need to do the data syncing properly, this is not your case

[slate swan]

the dictionary is the cache itself
you store it using dictionary[key] = value

and whenever you need the results you can do ```py
dictionary [key] # raises an error if key is not in dictionary

or

dictionary.get(key) # returns None if key is not in dictionary

[pulsar solstice]

eball_data = {}

@bot.command(aliases=["8ball", "8balls", "eb"])
async def eball(ctx, question:str):
    random_reply = random.choice(r8ball)
    if question in eball_data: 
        await ctx.send(eball_data[question])

    else:
        eball_data[question] = random_reply
        await ctx.send(eball_data[question])

so u mean this is okay?

and btw it works

[slate swan]

yep seems fine to me

[pulsar solstice]

so dict is cache?

:\

[slate swan]

in this case, yes

a dictionary can be used as a cache

[pulsar solstice]

can a key contain more that one value?

[placid skiff]

nope, but you can store all sort of data types in the value, even lists, sets, tuple or another dict

[pulsar solstice]

this info is going to change my whole life ☠️

[slate swan]

not possible but the solutions suggested by blvck can be used

[slate swan]

you could store a tuple or list

[pulsar solstice]

how to acsess "name" stored in a list called "pokemon_data" with is the value of the key called "pokemon"?

[slate swan]

or preferably a dataclass for easier accessibility

oh wait tvrsier said that already

[slate swan]

lists dont have key-calue pairs? unless the list contains a dict

value*

[slate swan]

💃 that's what he said

[pulsar solstice]

@slate swan then how to solve this?

[slate swan]

what does the structure look like

[pulsar solstice]

I have a dict named "pokemon". I have a key in "pokemon" named "pokemon1" whole value should be "name" stored in another dict named "pokemon1_data"

[placid skiff]

nope i still haven't got it yet

[pulsar solstice]

bruh bruh

[placid skiff]

so you mean you have this for example

[pulsar solstice]

how should I tell u!!

bruhmy barin

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

[pulsar solstice]

I have it for irl

[placid skiff]

pokemon = {"pikachu": {"name": "pikachu", "type": "electro", "moves": ["thunder", "quick attack", "electro ball", "double team"]}, ...}

Were you able to get your music bot to play music from a youtube url

[shrewd apex]

i did 👀

[drifting arrow]

Without downloading the file?

[shrewd apex]

i think streamed the audio

i*

[drifting arrow]

Can you send the code? I give up on trying to google solutions. everythings all wrong, not even the discordpy example works

ytdl 😅

[drifting arrow]

im doing that D:

youtube_dl? correct?

or is it actually ytdl?

[shrewd apex]

i used ytdl and ffmpeg before it was banned 👀

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how i can use local image in the embed?

[drifting arrow]

So is it still possible to make a music bot?

[shrewd apex]

use SoundCloud ig

[robust fulcrum]

Pls help anyone

[spare urchin]

how would you add cooldowns for slash commands in nextcord??

[faint sapphire]

wassup, is this how i make a function run once an hour, to allow bot commands to work meanwhile

async def checkUserExists(userID):
    while True:
        asyncio.sleep(3600)
        runFunc()

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[slate swan]

which lib?

[faint sapphire]

ok thanks

[robust fulcrum]

dpy

[slate swan]

put the url as

url="attachment://image_name.ext"```

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[slate swan]

it is if it doesnt get verified
or in certain circumstances, it could get banned even if it id private, but it wont most prolly

[grand willow]

What can I do if the content it wants to send is to big is there a way to split it into more than 1 Message and then send those

[drifting arrow]

send as a txt file

[faint sapphire]

does this seem right```py
@discord.ext.tasks.loop(hours=1, reconnect=True)
async def compareUpdates(ctx):
runFunc()

[naive briar]

If you need ctx in it, ye

[faint sapphire]

i dont

seems to be correct otherwise ig

[naive briar]

Then don't pass ctx in the parameter

[faint sapphire]

ight thanks

[drifting arrow]

;D

[tidal hawk]

What is the base url for Discord bot API endpoints?

For example for this ☝️

So I was in the callback of a view, and I tried to do interaction.edit_original_message(...), but then I got an Invalid Webhook error, any idea why?

how do u install requirements again

[gaunt ice]

sadly youtube_dl is not for discord bots now

[drifting arrow]

😦

[naive briar]

Can you send the traceback?

[glad cradle]

interaction expired, non deferred interactions lasts 3 sec, deferred ones 15 min

[slate swan]

How to defer it?

[glad cradle]

iirc for d.py should be interaction.response.defer()

!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...

[robust fulcrum]

Guys do we need application.commands scope to make slash commands work?

[naive briar]

Yes

[slate swan]

Yes ofc

[sly fog]

why doesn’t bot.tree.command work

AttributeError: 'SlashBot' object has no attribute 'tree'

it gives me this error

[sick birch]

#media-processing

[naive briar]

You have to pass the overwrite as nextcord.PermissionOverwrite not dictionary

overwrite = nextcord.PermissionOverwrite(...)

await c.set_permissions(member, overwrite=overwrite)
await c.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
await c.set_permissions(ctx.guild.me, overwrite=overwrite)

If you want to set the overwrite for multiple roles or members, you have to set it individually

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how can I make a system that when my bot gets rate limited it types kill 1 in the shell?

[slate swan]

Easy don't use repl

!d os.system use this

[unkempt canyon]

os.system

os.system(command)```
Execute the command (a string) in a subshell. This is implemented by calling the Standard C function `system()`, and has the same limitations. Changes to [`sys.stdin`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin "sys.stdin"), etc. are not reflected in the environment of the executed command. If *command* generates any output, it will be sent to the interpreter standard output stream. The C standard does not specify the meaning of the return value of the C function, so the return value of the Python function is system-dependent.

On Unix, the return value is the exit status of the process encoded in the format specified for [`wait()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.wait "os.wait").

[limber bison]

how can i disable command in a pertucular server ?
i dont think command.update(enabled=False) will work it will disable for all 😳

[robust fulcrum]

I mean it do this when bot gets rate limited
Is there any event for it?

[vale wing]

You need a command check that would prevent it from running in disabled server

[vale wing]

I already told you, didn't I

[limber bison]

and for check i have to store data in db ?

damn

[vale wing]

As you wish

[limber bison]

any other option ?

[vale wing]

If it is long-term storage there's no other option

If you don't want it to be persistent between bot runs then just put it into some dict

[robust fulcrum]

I was not able to understand sorry

[vale wing]

When you shutdown the bot just os.system("kill 1") is most likely gonna kill the bot itself and no other instructions will continue, so you need to either use the shell script so all the commands you need get executed correctly, or something like kill 1 && python3 main.py

But the most simple thing to do to accomplish this is basically don't fricking use replit

[robust fulcrum]

I don't have computer or laptop sorry 😔

[robust fulcrum]

Bro but how will it get triggered?

[slate swan]

why would there be an event for "you can't get events anymore"

[robust fulcrum]

Means it have no solution?

[slate swan]

not using replit is the best one

you can use pydroid or termux to run your code

[robust fulcrum]

Idk how to use it

[slate swan]

just download your files, pip install the requirements
and use python filename.py

[robust fulcrum]

In pydroid?

Pydroid terminal is bad

[slate swan]

*i don't know how to use it

[ivory cave]

how can i make it so that when the bot sends a link its clickable

?

[slate swan]

a link is always clickable wdym

[ivory cave]

there was this one time yesterday, i my bot sent a valid link that if copy pasted into google was valid but the link itself wasnt clickable

i cant recreate it right now

ah wait, i think i figured it out nevermind

[slate swan]

you probably forgot to add http/https

[vale wing]

Subclass the commands.Bot and override on_error method, then get exception via _, error, _ = sys.exc_info() and check if error is an instance of HTTPException with 429 code

I don't know how to explain it any clearer without spoonfeeding

[slate swan]

overriding on_error can be very risky, make sure you don't end up eating other errors

[vale wing]

Yeah make sure to always print the traceback

And yeah the traceback object is the third value in tuple returned by exc_info

[limber bison]

@client.listen()
async def on_guild_join( guild):
        await db.create_collection(name= str(guild.id))
      
async def on_message(message):
        if message.author == client:
            await message.channel.send(client)
            return

        if message.content == 'ok':
            await message.channel.send('Hello World!')```

why this not working ?

any idea

[naive briar]

You didn't register the on_message event

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[slate swan]

what's problem

[ivory cave]

ye xd

[vocal snow]

Your view has the same name as your cog and is being overwritten

[slate swan]

so how can i fix it?

[mossy jacinth]

???

[faint sapphire]

anyone used asyncpg
its recommended in a discord.py github post for background tasks

but apparently i need to add a C compiler, unless if i have a recent pip version, which i do, import could not be resolved persists
https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/installation.html

or is this useless anyway, what i do is that each hour it does webscraping and compares it to whats in the db

[tall swallow]

Can anyone help me with my bot verification?

[vestal dagger]

??what kind of verification

[tall swallow]

I want verify my bot, it's asking for a tos and i need help for it

[vestal dagger]

Huh ...maybe a screenshot of the error will help

[tall swallow]

It's not an error

[feral frost]

Question:
How can i check for a message in a normal command like this and than print it?

                return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel and message.content.lower() == message```

[vale wing]

Just pip install asyncpg works fine on all systems

You need C compiler only to build it from source

[glad cradle]

print before returning something, also ctx is not defined, and what's the point of message.content.lower() == message ? this will return false

[faint sapphire]

i did, still acts as if there wasnt the library

importing it is like i didnt install it

i removed it and tried again too

[vale wing]

Are you sure you install it into the correct environment and run the script from the same environment

[faint sapphire]

i dont use venv, i did it from the vs code terminal

[vale wing]

How many python versions do you have installed

[faint sapphire]

no idea lol
all i know is that python isnt a command, so i guess i have just python 3

i have 3.10.5 for py3

[feral frost]

ok well thanks

[vale wing]

Using venvs is a good practice and helps to avoid these cringe PATH issues

Create a venv via python3 -m venv venv and select the new interpreter from command pallet (CTRL + SHIFT + P -> Select Interpreter)

[faint sapphire]

the i cant access the library elsewhere

[vale wing]

Just create a new venv for new project

That's what every good developer does

[faint sapphire]

ight then

[vale wing]

When you install many global packages they might start having dependencies conflicts

So better to have everything isolated

[slate swan]

hey anyone able to help me make my first discord bot?

[faint sapphire]

i see what u mean

tho ive been using them for 1 proj so far

then i gotta remove them for future stuff

[vale wing]

As for your case, you most likely have several python versions installed, and you pip install with one, but run the script with another

Venvs help to avoid that too

[faint sapphire]

ok, thanks

[primal token]

!dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[primal token]

you can also use poetry for envs

!pypi poetry

[unkempt canyon]

poetry v1.2.1

Python dependency management and packaging made easy.

[honest shoal]

what is num_range

[faint sapphire]

i got the locked error from sqlite3
should i consider a diff db, or is it ight to make one connection like this and use it over time
also, if I do that, do i set the cursor each time and close it?```py
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
if bot.db_con is None:
bot.db_con = bot.db_con = await aiosqlite.connect("database.db")

[teal mesa]

whats the code so no one can DM my discord bot? and where do i put it.

[teal mesa]

whats the code so no one can DM my discord bot? and where do i put it.

[faint sapphire]

idk, why would u worry ab that

[sick birch]

People can DM you but you can choose to ignore it

[teal mesa]

i said my bot

[sick birch]

I know, same deal with your bot

[primal token]

iirc you can just not set the dm unprivaliged intent

[teal mesa]

because i have an Premium version of my bot that i dont want people to DM the commands to. It defeets the whaol thing that instead of getting premium thay just use it inside of DM's

[sick birch]

Just ignore DM channel messages in your on message with conditional process commands

[faint sapphire]

im sure ur premium members are in a databse

u can just look if they in it

[primal token]

A check would be enough

[teal mesa]

BROOOOOOOOOO

idc about what u guys say, can you just tell me the code

i have been looking EVERYWHERE

[faint sapphire]

we said u can make a check on message

[stark brook]

guys hwo have code that give user a a role for set time

[faint sapphire]

make a task that removes it

[teal mesa]

the server is about this predictions bots, i want the script so thay will type commands in chat and be active. it defeets the whaol ting if i have a dead chat and thay are in bots dm

[faint sapphire]

so like a task loop or cog

[teal mesa]

idk how to do that, please tell me

[stark brook]

how?

[faint sapphire]

then u check if the user has premium

to see if u allow them to use commands

so u search in ur database

cause u obviously use one for remembering who has premium

[primal token]

Why make unnecessary references?

[faint sapphire]

bruh

[primal token]

kek

[faint sapphire]

this was supposedly a solution to the locked error
but i still get it, am i supposed to create a cursor and close it each time? (i do btw)
(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73416313/whats-making-this-code-lock-my-aiosqlite-database)

[edgy tundra]

how to set that
like

Prefix for your server is -----

in bot for custom server prefix

[primal token]

Those comments arent correct and you can always set a max concurrency

[edgy tundra]

oops sorry its node.js

[teal mesa]

no, i just anyone know how to close dms for a bot?

[primal token]

Sir this is a python server

[faint sapphire]

yh they mentioned i can increase the timout for lock or whatever, but couldnt find online, do u know?
or making 1 con forever is ight

[teal mesa]

like this

[primal token]

Why are you making an instance of Intents but not using it?

[slate swan]

Hey guys! So i want to know that i want to make an command that tells you howmuch time your bot has been on. could someone help me?.

[slate swan]

Juicy bot.

[honest shoal]

just store the time when your bot starts

[slate swan]

How do you do that.

No , I want it by a script.

[teal mesa]

yes, i wanna remove the dm thing

its not mine, i wanna have it like he does

[slate swan]

if ctx.channel.id == id:

under async

[honest shoal]

using time.time()

[slate swan]

Well i dont want it like that.

I want it that it calculates by its self when using an command .info

[honest shoal]

not possible, you have to store it when the bot starts

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

How do you store it.

Sorry im a bi tdumb.

[honest shoal]

in a variable most likely

or database

just store the current time when the bot starts and when .info command is used then from current time again subtract the time you stored

[slate swan]

Thanks.

[primal token]

it's better to store the time inside of on_connect if your bot isnt HTTP only and bind the value to the instance of your bot

[honest shoal]

oh, I forgot about on_connect completely

[primal token]

[feral frost]

anyone knows a simple easy way to make an eval command ?

[primal token]

You can use snekbox:
https://github.com/python-discord/snekbox

[feral frost]

ok

[primal token]

That's what @unkempt canyon uses!

[feral frost]

ok

[primal token]

ok

[sick birch]

ok

[feral frost]

👌

[kind trellis]

I just pushed this and I'm getting the same results. New categories added to the yaml file are not being recognized by the bot after an attempted reload

[slate swan]

Hi

[feral frost]

so how do i make a command ?

[primal token]

!src eval

[unkempt canyon]

Command: eval

Run Python code and get the results.

Source Code

Go to GitHub

bot/exts/utils/snekbox.py:483

[primal token]

You can use this one as guidance so you can implement it yourself

[feral frost]

k ty

[kind trellis]

@bot.command, @client.command or @commands.command

[primal token]

It would depend

[kind trellis]

On where you're doing it and how your previous lines of code are written

[primal token]

It would depend on your codebase and its structure, yes.

[kind trellis]

Btw, @primal token do you by chance know of a way to store info like category IDs into a file and have that file be reloaded easily via a command for if statements?

[primal token]

You can use json with aiofiles or you can also use a container object

[feral frost]

Code:

import ast

def insert_returns(body):
    # insert return stmt if the last expression is a expression statement
    if isinstance(body[-1], ast.Expr):
        body[-1] = ast.Return(body[-1].value)
        ast.fix_missing_locations(body[-1])

    # for if statements, we insert returns into the body and the orelse
    if isinstance(body[-1], ast.If):
        insert_returns(body[-1].body)
        insert_returns(body[-1].orelse)

    # for with blocks, again we insert returns into the body
    if isinstance(body[-1], ast.With):
        insert_returns(body[-1].body)

@bot.command()
async def eval_fn(ctx, *, cmd):
    fn_name = "_eval_expr"

    cmd = cmd.strip("` ")

    # add a layer of indentation
    cmd = "\n".join(f"    {i}" for i in cmd.splitlines())

    # wrap in async def body
    body = f"async def {fn_name}():\n{cmd}"

    parsed = ast.parse(body)
    body = parsed.body[0].body

    insert_returns(body)

    env = {
        'bot': ctx.bot,
        'discord': discord,
        'commands': commands,
        'ctx': ctx,
        '__import__': __import__
    }
    exec(compile(parsed, filename="<ast>", mode="exec"), env)

    result = (await eval(f"{fn_name}()", env))
    await ctx.send(result)```
**Error:**
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message

[kind trellis]

You mind DMing me how aiofiles work?

[primal token]

!pypi aiofiles | it's a library that manages files asynchronously

[unkempt canyon]

aiofiles v22.1.0

File support for asyncio.

[feral frost]

pls help

I have a problem with this code it says smth about empty message

[kind trellis]

Your result didn't output anything

Try printing the await eval part first

[feral frost]

? how

[feral frost]

?

[untold iron]

Whenever i run this command to create a private channel, it ends up looping infinitely ?

@client.command()
async def make_channel(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    member = ctx.author
    admin_role = get(guild.roles, name="Admin")
    channelname = 'Seceret'

    mbed = discord.Embed(
    title = 'Success',
    description = "{} has been successfully created.".format(channelname)
    )

    overwrites = {
        guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
        member: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
        admin_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True)
    }
    channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name='{}'.format(channelname), overwrites=overwrites)
    await ctx.send(embed=mbed)
    test1 = await channel.send(embed=await make_channel(ctx))
    await channel.send(embed=await IndicatorSale(ctx))
    await test1.add_reaction(NReact)```

[faint sapphire]

quite limited tho, it locks easily

[feral frost]

async def make_channel(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    member = ctx.author
    channelname = 'Seceret'

    mbed = discord.Embed(
    title = 'Success',
    description = "{} has been successfully created.".format(channelname)
    )

    overwrites = {
        guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),
        member: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True),
    }
    await guild.create_text_channel(name='{}'.format(channelname), overwrites=overwrites)
    await ctx.send(embed=mbed)````might be a little bit different but the problem was in the (channel = await guild.create....)

[untold iron]

Yes thank you very much

[feral frost]

np 🙂

[untold iron]

i saw my silly mistake, i was basically embedding the same channel made lol
