[loud junco]

Oo ignore the time

It's according to GMT0 I believe

[vestal pine]

oh ok, thank you

but its weird cuz like before it was always same as my time 😭

[loud junco]

I have no idea really and the time won't affect the bot also

[vestal pine]

ok now it stopped working again

[loud junco]

Offline?

Or what

[vestal pine]

yes

[loud junco]

Go to the uptimerobot website

[vestal pine]

uptime robot?

[loud junco]

Yeye

[vestal pine]

alr

I am on there

[loud junco]

Mind showing me the settings?

[vestal pine]

sure

[loud junco]

The link especially

[loud junco]

Try running it again

[vestal pine]

alright

[loud junco]

See if it's rate limited or something

[vestal pine]

[loud junco]

Ye

[vestal pine]

💀

[loud junco]

Rate limited

Gotta wait for a few hours before u can start it again

It happens in replit quite frequently

[vestal pine]

oh ok

[loud junco]

And u can't do anything to stop it

[vestal pine]

should I make a new repl and copy paste the code?

[loud junco]

It won't work

[vestal pine]

oh ok

[loud junco]

Just wait

What I do is I have two bot

When one is rate limited I build the other one

Btw can anyone give me suggestion?

Should I use image as the Monopoly board like myuu. I have no experience in image stuff tho

[vestal pine]

hm?

[loud junco]

But using emoji as board is not going to work cuz there is going to be like 4 players

So the board is going to be like 14 x 14 or even bigger

[vestal pine]

i guess using an image gonna be better but there is the problem that the bot should have to change the picture by every move? ||I am not that experienced||

[loud junco]

That's what I'm thinking about

But I think I should ask the professional before doing anything silly 😂😂😂

[vestal pine]

^^

[loud junco]

Come out proffesionals

[vestal pine]

i guess am gonna run my bot locally till replit works again, because I am testing new things 😭

[loud junco]

Lol

[vestal pine]

[slate swan]

don’t use replit. Oracle cloud has a always free tier that is extremely good

repel it 😏

[vestal pine]

oracle cloud?

never heard of it tbh

[vestal pine]

[slate swan]

Yeah it’s a somewhat hidden gem

I know a bot dev uses it for his decently sized bot and has never had issues

[vestal pine]

wow

[slate swan]

and it’s always free

crazy huh

[vestal pine]

fr lmao

[rugged shadow]

.bm

[lament depot]

Click the button to be sent your very own bookmark to [this message](#discord-bots message).

[vestal pine]

whats this

oh nvm

[vestal pine]

it needs an payment option and I dont have one 😭 😂

[loud junco]

Should I use image as the Monopoly board like myuu. I have no experience in image stuff tho

[slate swan]

You're trying to make a bot play Monopoly?

[loud junco]

yup

and its going to be more than 2-6 players

so emoji map doesnt work

i was thinking about adding the token on the map

add token and add house + hotel

on a default map

[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]

I think you can use an image of the map and just update the image after each turn. Perhaps you could start by learning an image manipulation lib such as PIL to achieve this

[loud junco]

yeye

[loud junco]

do u know any source?

[radiant parrot]

How would I get all the channels names under a category?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.CategoryChannel.channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel.channels

property channels```
Returns the channels that are under this category.

These are sorted by the official Discord UI, which places voice channels below the text channels.

[vocal snow]

You can use a list comp and get the name attribute of all the objects in that

[radiant parrot]

Ah okay

Secondly how would I grab a few things from an embed and foward them

[loud junco]

from an embed and forward them?

[radiant parrot]

Yes

[loud junco]

wdym

send the description of an embed?

[radiant parrot]

So when an embed is sent to the channel

I only want to grab certain things from the embed if it contains a word

[loud junco]

oo

[radiant parrot]

So if the title contains testing for example it will grab the whole title 🙂

[radiant parrot]

Any idea 🙂

[loud junco]

!d discord.Embed.description

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.description

The description of the embed. This can be set during initialisation. Can only be up to 4096 characters.

[loud junco]

.

!d discord.Embed.title

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.title

The title of the embed. This can be set during initialisation. Can only be up to 256 characters.

[radiant parrot]

Still little confused

[loud junco]

try and see if u can get the description of the embed with this

[radiant parrot]

hmm still not working for me

[naive briar]

Show how did you do it

[radiant parrot]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.webhook_id and message.embeds:
        embed = message.embeds[0]
        channel = client.get_channel('1039871964745152161')
        embed.remove_footer()    
        await channel.send(embed=embed)```

it shld be removing the footer yet isnt somehow

[loud junco]

!d discord.Embed.footer

[slate swan]

attributes don't come out of thin air, there's no such method

[loud junco]

!d discord.Embed.remove_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.remove\_footer

remove_footer()```
Clears embed’s footer information.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

nvm

[loud junco]

🤣

[slate swan]

your channel variable is invalid ( None)

[naive briar]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

and the if statement is faulty as well

why would a webhook id be a part of list of embeds

[radiant parrot]

the channel id is the channel i want the copied embed to be sent in

[slate swan]

ids are integers, not strings?

[radiant parrot]

i have changed tht

[slate swan]

.

[radiant parrot]

but get this py TypeError: get_channel() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

[slate swan]

now you added something that shouldn't be there

[radiant parrot]

wait i fixed it

so how would i now grab certain content from an embed to copy

[slate swan]

check the part of embed that data belongs to

[slate swan]

.

[loud junco]

is field counted as description tho

i forgot what is it called

[naive briar]

!d discord.Embed.fields - You mean this?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.fields

property fields```
Returns a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of `EmbedProxy` denoting the field contents.

See [`add_field()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed.add_field "discord.Embed.add_field") for possible values you can access.

If the attribute has no value then `None` is returned.

[loud junco]

ye

is it counted as description?

[naive briar]

I don't know what do you mean

[loud junco]

is field under description when u do discord.Embed.description

[slate swan]

nope

[loud junco]

hmm i see btw

should i host my bot on oracle cloud

[slate swan]

id just do "text" in json.dumps(embed.to_dict()) to check if something is in the embed

if i don't know what part it exists in*

[slate swan]

probably the best free option

[loud junco]

myex.dumps(me)

[loud junco]

like what would u recommend

[slate swan]

myex is not defined

[loud junco]

like the best free option

[loud junco]

💀

[slate swan]

oracle or digital ocean if you have GitHub students

[loud junco]

what is github student

i dont have it 💀

[slate swan]

are you a student?

https://education.github.com/pack

[radiant parrot]

how can implement this?

[slate swan]

just copy paste with replacing text with your string and embed with the embed object you want to check in

[radiant parrot]

could you give an example

so can understand better

[loud junco]

ye

[slate swan]

i literally sent the code, how can i clarify it more

[radiant parrot]

i mean how wld use it

like in a sense

[slate swan]

go on the above link, fill in the info to join GitHub students
it gives you access to tons of developer tools for free ( that are usually paid)
only if you want to ofc

[mighty pilot]

There is no guild specified

[radiant parrot]

still confused bro, how do i then find the field name and replace it

[mighty pilot]

Show your code

Is GUILD_ID a number or is it just that

[velvet tinsel]

Okay, I take a break from discord.py and this shit happens

[2022-11-09 13:28:53] [INFO ] discord.client: logging in using static token

wtf? I'm using the correct token 💀

[mighty pilot]

That's not an error

[velvet tinsel]

well after that it throws an error

[mighty pilot]

It's just telling you that it's logging into the bot with a static token

[velvet tinsel]

why do I need privileged intents?

discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

[mighty pilot]

!tag 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.

[velvet tinsel]

I'm using intents

[slate swan]

you using message_content intents?

[velvet tinsel]

finally it's working

why do I need privileged intents

[mighty pilot]

You need to enable them in the developer portal according to the error you sent

[velvet tinsel]

I just created this bot

[velvet tinsel]

I have, and the error is saying something about enabling privileged intents

[mossy jacinth]

can someone help me here or tell me how to make an Trivia command without a lib?

[velvet tinsel]

nvm

[mighty pilot]

In the developer portal, there's 3 toggles for different intents that need to specifically be enabled

[velvet tinsel]

I read it wrong, thought it meant that you should enable it if your bot is in 100+ servers

[mighty pilot]

Ah no they'd just need verification beyond that

[mighty pilot]

Send your code around line 111

[mossy jacinth]

I dont have a line 111 yet

[mighty pilot]

Oh I read the error wrong. Sorry not familiar with that library

[mossy jacinth]

neither am i.. just wanted to see if it would be simpler to use a lib to create a trivia command

[placid skiff]

what is that lib, and where do you use it? it is in conflict with asyncio

[mossy jacinth]

found it in pycharm

[placid skiff]

It has installed and probably it has using cffi which is a C interface for python

[mossy jacinth]

So i cant use it?

[placid skiff]

cffi uses PyPy, which is another C implementation

and PyPy doesn't support asyncio, so you will not be able to use it

[mighty pilot]

This is what that error means according to the docs for nextcord

In user defined base classes, abstract methods should raise this exception when they require derived classes to override the method, or while the class is being developed to indicate that the real implementation still needs to be added.

[radiant parrot]

How would i get rid of an embed field when converted embed to dict

[mossy jacinth]

then can someone tell me how i can at least make a trivia/quiz command?

[placid skiff]

you can try to learn more and maybe find a solution in #c-extensions channel

[mighty pilot]

I think you have the basic layout already figured out, just make lists for each difficulty of questions and use random.choice to pick questions out of those lists

[drowsy atlas]

hi! can I get some suggestions on creating a bot with python. links to documentation would be great.

[mighty pilot]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[mossy jacinth]

and then how can i check if the users answer is correct or wrong?

[drowsy atlas]

ok

[mighty pilot]

I would make it so it checks the reply to the message for an answer, if the answer matches correct answer, it's correct. If not, incorrect

[upbeat otter]

an id has to be an integer, strings wont work

[slate swan]

except for fetch_ methods

[upbeat otter]

yes yes, godly piece of advice 🛐

[slate swan]

yes

you can also just pip uninstall python and uninstall discord to make life easier

[radiant parrot]

i have got the embed in a dict but how would i know remove a specific field

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.fields is a list

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.fields

property fields```
Returns a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of `EmbedProxy` denoting the field contents.

See [`add_field()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed.add_field "discord.Embed.add_field") for possible values you can access.

If the attribute has no value then `None` is returned.

[slate swan]

uhhhhhh 1 min

[upbeat otter]

another daily reminder. sarth can I worship you from now on 🛐

[slate swan]

actually list.remove works it gets that from the parent class which is not documented

[slate swan]

im sooo nice, so I'll allow you with that

[upbeat otter]

😳

[slate swan]

hola amigo como estas
this is not related to discord bot but a text based bot,
i am trying to implement a fight() between two characters, like more popular bots out there (dank memer) however, there fight is between 2 real players, my fight is between 1 player and 1 enemy, the player is supposed to defeat the enemy using text based commands, can someone kindly help me design a logic as so how the enemy will attack the player and how so the player would attack the enemy

[slate swan]

well hello sarth.
sarthak here!

lmao sarth is just an internet alias, my name's sarthak as well

[slate swan]

ah! finally found the person who stole my twitter user 😭

i'd also wanted @austere jetty on twitter and [e-mail]

but no, because people like you and me exist-

but hey sarthak! i am sarthak sidhant!

[slate swan]

you'll be utilising bot.wait_for s with "message" events and establishing a relation between the 2 users in fight using a dict or something

!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 v3.11)"). 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 v3.11)") 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 v3.11)") 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**...

[slate swan]

i don't even use twitter:p

[slate swan]

man came right to the point

[slate swan]

its not for a discord bot BD

[slate swan]

i just wanna design the logic

plain python, how the user gonna fight, what the perimeters, what the fight seqeuenee

ill definitely make this in a discord bot later, therefore asked about it here

[slate swan]

ah, i thinking claiming a help channel ( #❓｜how-to-get-help ) and asking there would be a lot better

[slate swan]

good idea.

[slate swan]

cya human alias!

[upbeat otter]

"I thinking" 😔

[slate swan]

im typing with one finger totally relying on autocompletes so ywah

[placid skiff]

do you guys type with fingers?

[upbeat otter]

not so cool

[slate swan]

i use my paws sometimes

[slate swan]

im in class lol

[upbeat otter]

ahem 💀 sometimes I use my...

[upbeat otter]

at 8pm-

[slate swan]

it continues till 9pm

[upbeat otter]

average JEE aspirant

[placid skiff]

Man please.
At least ashley will not read that

[slate swan]

there's morning timings too but it's mostly for girls

[placid skiff]

Lol

[upbeat otter]

That's my alt

[upbeat otter]

well, you can be the famous guy

[slate swan]

exactly what I don't want

[upbeat otter]

[placid skiff]

Well, at least do yourself a favour and let become your d... the famous guy

[velvet compass]

Lets stop whatever the hell this is

[upbeat otter]

lmao

[slate swan]

who wants to make a dc bot with me?

Exception has occurred: ImportError

[upbeat otter]

reinstall the library

might be some installation issue

[tight obsidian]

how did you install discord.py?

[upbeat otter]

no

[slate swan]

bruh

[slate swan]

yes

[winged coral]

how

And what other discord related packages have you installed

[tight obsidian]

You installed it via yes?

[versed comet]

does anyone have a ticket system that uses thread? please i need this script

[cloud dawn]

Maybe

[mighty pilot]

This is sound advice I think I'll do that 🙏

Forgot to un-ping my bad

[cloud dawn]

Sarth doesn't mind.

[mighty pilot]

I know some people get pretty upset about it and I'm usually good about turning it off if it's not in reply to something recent

[slate swan]

lol im mostly in the channel so it doesn't matter if you ping or not

[mighty pilot]

Alright @slate swan

[mighty pilot]

Is this saying they installed discord.http.py?

[cloud dawn]

If they get upset they can just disable it.

[mighty pilot]

Yea the notifications for it

[upbeat otter]

@slate swan

How to obtain message id from the user who send command

[mighty pilot]

Ctx.message.id?

[slate swan]

just replying to a ping

[spring needle]

I want to do something when a user type /example the bot will send a dm to the user who sent /example

[upbeat otter]

yeah go study

[slate swan]

explain me please

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.User.send use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
print(not True)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

False

[spring needle]

But this requires user id

[upbeat otter]

you can ask for help in #python-discussion or claim a help channel (see #❓｜how-to-get-help) this is not the right channel

[slate swan]

bro my classes just finished

[cloud dawn]

That's when you study lol

[upbeat otter]

it definitely doesn't, you can grab the author of the slash command user

[spring needle]

Kk

[slate swan]

its literally 9pm 💀 i need sum rest

[mighty pilot]

not 1 == 1 checks if 1 is not equal to 1.

[upbeat otter]

you need to get a 299 smh

[slate swan]

what mean ==

[slate swan]

i got 207 in last mock test 😔

[slate swan]

what is == explain

[slate swan]

it means is equal to ( check)

[upbeat otter]

totally not satisfactory, must go to kota 🛐

[mighty pilot]

You should grab a regular help channel. But it checks if 2 values are the same

[slate swan]

yo guess what, im in kota

[upbeat otter]

no wonder why you seem depressed 😔 must survive (possibly)

[slate swan]

its more fun that being home 🗿

anyways its getting ot lol

[cloud dawn]

On topic

[slate swan]

so i wanna make that the user that opened the ticket will get a dm after a staff member closes the ticket, interaction.user doesnt work there cuz the staff did the interaction

[upbeat otter]

totally not our fault, the discord api wrappers need to make their libraries more complicated to use so that more people and more beginners will ask for help in the channel.

the implementation in many libraries is too easy so far and people opt for those. There aren't enough problems to solve regarding discord bots, it's usually the problems related to "discord.py not found" or "why this not work" which are 99% of the times syntax errors and are not suitable for the channel but are "This error is in a discord bot".

Technically, this channel can be used as an OT channel, but the roles oppose this statement. Sadly.

You just wasted 15 seconds of your life reading that message 😔 no comments if you read that actually

[slate swan]

well, that is because andy is very smart in the aspect of developing. so when andy explains something to someone who doesnt have the same knowledge, it may be looked at as confusing because andy is explaining something with the assumption it can be understood as simply as he/she understands the topic. so yeah it creates confusion. thats why you ask more and more. the more you ask the more you know. dont walk away misunderstanding the topic because one explanation didnt give you the knowledge needed. im sure andy would have been willing to break down the explanation.

[slate swan]

well you can save somewhere about which user started the ticket

[upbeat otter]

tf you people still simp for andy

[slate swan]

like the channel description or in a dictionary

[slate swan]

lol thats the only copy pasta i could find rn

cuz it was in this channel itself

[slate swan]

w db?

[upbeat otter]

yes

[upbeat otter]

totally studying rn I see

[slate swan]

you won't need a database if the ticket isn't supposed to be opened for too long, but yes thats the preferred way

[slate swan]

im just walking home with some mango shake

[spring needle]

Here’s my cog, it says that collab function doesn’t exist

Here is the extension loader

Rate limited…

[placid skiff]

commands name can't have uppercase letters, the name parameter too is all lowercase

[cloud dawn]

Actually command names can have uppercase in message commands.

And since kwarg passed doesn't exists it gets disregarded so the function name will be used.

So we need the traceback chief.

[spring needle]

Which name parameter, the class? Or the file

[spring needle]

There’s no error, the cog just won’t load

[slate swan]

yessss

[sick birch]

I'm not aware of that package manager, is it new?

[alpine cove]

same

[nocturne compass]

how do i add this on replit

[cloud dawn]

Don't

That lib very bad

[nocturne compass]

i need to

i need to

how to add to replit pls

[sick birch]

why?

you already have discord.py

[nocturne compass]

it wont work tho

i js need it how do i add it

[cloud dawn]

I recommend not following that tutorial.

[sick birch]

How so?

Isn't discord_slash discontinued?

[cloud dawn]

Last update on Feb 4, 2021

[alpine cove]

lmao

[alpine cove]

bruh

just dont

[sick birch]

I'll take that as a no then

[cloud dawn]

Once every 5 years.

[rustic edge]

How can I make an arg optional?

[cloud dawn]

!arg-kwarg

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[rustic edge]

ty

[cloud dawn]

Setting a default value will make it optional.

[rustic edge]

ooh i see, ty

Example: ```py
def test(word: str = "Hello!") -> str:
return word + " World!"

print(test())
print(test("Flat"))

async def commandlist(ctx, arg = 'None'):
    
    if arg == 'None':

would be correct?

[cloud dawn]

Is this a self bot?

Dunder methods

Double-underscore methods, or "dunder" methods, are special methods defined in a class that are invoked implicitly. Like the name suggests, they are prefixed and suffixed with dunders. You've probably already seen some, such as the __init__ dunder method, also known as the "constructor" of a class, which is implicitly invoked when you instantiate an instance of a class.

When you create a new class, there will be default dunder methods inherited from the object class. However, we can override them by redefining these methods within the new class. For example, the default __init__ method from object doesn't take any arguments, so we almost always override that to fit our needs.

Other common dunder methods to override are __str__ and __repr__. __repr__ is the developer-friendly string representation of an object - usually the syntax to recreate it - and is implicitly called on arguments passed into the repr function. __str__ is the user-friendly string representation of an object, and is called by the str function. Note here that, if not overriden, the default __str__ invokes __repr__ as a fallback.

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, value):  # constructor
        self.value = value
    def __str__(self):
        return f"This is a Foo object, with a value of {self.value}!"  # string representation
    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Foo({self.value!r})"  # way to recreate this object


bar = Foo(5)

# print also implicitly calls __str__
print(bar)  # Output: This is a Foo object, with a value of 5!

# dev-friendly representation
print(repr(bar))  # Output: Foo(5)

Another example: did you know that when you use the <left operand> + <right operand> syntax, you're implicitly calling <left operand>.__add__(<right operand>)? The same applies to other operators, and you can look at the operator built-in module documentation for more information!

!d discord.User.send @rustic edge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[rustic edge]

ty lol

[mighty pilot]

What is nonce used for

Just seeing if the message was successfully sent?

[slate swan]

[naive briar]

What is that

[mighty pilot]

nonce = None as seen in this embed

[honest shoal]

only for ephermal msgs i guess

[mighty pilot]

Yea it sounds like it's a way to verify an ephemeral message was sent without being able to see it

[mighty pilot]

But ephemeral isn't an argument for User.send

!tags decorators

!tags decorators

[unkempt canyon]

Decorators

A decorator is a function that modifies another function.

Consider the following example of a timer decorator:

>>> import time
>>> def timer(f):
...     def inner(*args, **kwargs):
...         start = time.time()
...         result = f(*args, **kwargs)
...         print('Time elapsed:', time.time() - start)
...         return result
...     return inner
...
>>> @timer
... def slow(delay=1):
...     time.sleep(delay)
...     return 'Finished!'
...
>>> print(slow())
Time elapsed: 1.0011568069458008
Finished!
>>> print(slow(3))
Time elapsed: 3.000307321548462
Finished!

How can I check if a user includes themselves in a command argument?

[mighty pilot]

If arg == ctx.user

Or interaction.user if slash command

[waxen cradle]

why this bot doesn't start with Intents.all (RuntimeError: Event loop is closed) but with Intents.default the bot starts but it doesn't respond with anything when using its prefix

[sick birch]

Intents.all includes the privileged intents, so you need to enable them in your developer portal for it to work

With default, message content intent (which is a privileged intent) is not enabled, so none of your commands would work

[dim pike]

Hello, how can I activate the bot I made with python?

I made a bot with python for the first time

[waxen cradle]

im looking into it rn thank you

[waxen cradle]

i think i enabled everything on the developer portal, but now when i try to copy the link to invite the bot i get "Please enter a redirect uri"

[mighty pilot]

If you don't know how to use a redirect uri then you're likely making the wrong selections on the dev portal page

90% of the time all you need is the bot scope, and maybe the applications.commands scope (when using slash commands)

With the associated permissions under the bot scope

[radiant parrot]

how can i remove the indexs of fields all at once?

[vast kraken]

what does that bot do?

[nocturne compass]

where do i put the comma ;-;

[dim pike]

The bot calculates the score about the game and then passes it to the table

[waxen cradle]

yeah apparently when i selected "REQUIRES OAUTH2 CODE GRANT" i needed a redirect uri, deselected it and now the bot works as intended

[waxen cradle]

worked on this sht since yesterday ur a god amongst men

[solid dune]

help Pls

[nocturne compass]

why wont a embed send i got this instead

[hushed galleon]

you need to use the embed= kwarg in order to send the embed properly

e.g. py await channel.send(embed=my_embed_variable)

[solid dune]

help me

[hushed galleon]

this looks like a node.js program?

[solid dune]

no python

[spring summit]

i have a redeem command, if you redeem your id gets written into a file. i want the bot to remove the id after a certain time, is it possible? if so, how

[solid dune]

If I use Putty, the program where I start the bot, it doesn't work

[nocturne compass]

?

[hushed galleon]

well your error message seems to be related to M-host, whatever service that is, and not your python code

[nocturne compass]

works @hushed galleon thanks a lot bro

[spring summit]

please

[arctic folio]

why am i getting this error ?

[naive briar]

Your token is invalid

[slate swan]

if people actually read error

[arctic folio]

its hard

still

[slate swan]

what does it mean?

@slate swan can I dm you my bot's code?

I am trying to make a daily system thing where you can claim coins once 24 hours passed since your last claim

using mongodb as a db

[cloud dawn]

Why not just use cooldowns?

[slate swan]

oh

any articles on those?

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown its a simple to use decorator

[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.

[hollow agate]

class ApplicationManagerDropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, roles):
        self.roles = roles

        for x in roles:
            discord.SelectOption(label=f"{x}")

        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label='-------DESIGN-------'),``` Would it be possible to somehow make this work? I'm trying to have a dropdown that changes depending on a specific value.

I’ve tried to use .append as well, but I just cannot get anything to work.

[slate swan]

Okie

[slate swan]

use a list comp

options = [ discord.SelectOption(label=x.name) for x in roles]

[slate swan]

any full example for that

the doc doesn't provide any

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.cooldown

@discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown(rate, per, *, key=...)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a command.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns are based off of the `key` function provided. If a `key` is not provided then it defaults to a user-level cooldown. The `key` function must take a single parameter, the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") and return a value that is used as a key to the internal cooldown mapping.

The `key` function can optionally be a coroutine.

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown") is raised to the error handlers.

Examples

Setting a one per 5 seconds per member cooldown on a command:

[cloud dawn]

They do.

[slate swan]

I want the bot to send a certain message when the cooldown isn't done

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(...)

@commands.cooldown(1, 10, commands.BucketType.user)
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send("this command can be used only once in 10 seconds")

bot.run()

[slate swan]

you'll have to make an error handler for that purpose

[slate swan]

oh

are those hard to learn?

nah they are easy

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

ty

so I expect that when someone uses the command before a cooldown is done it raises an error

[hollow agate]

Unfortunately, it's the same error I usually get. py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/ui/view.py", line 425, in _scheduled_task await item.callback(interaction) File "/Users//Desktop/Code/CookieServices/src/tickets/applications.py", line 61, in no await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Select the roles you would like to give them in the dropdown!', embed=None, view=view) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/interactions.py", line 856, in edit_message await adapter.create_interaction_response( File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/webhook/async_.py", line 220, in request raise HTTPException(response, data) discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body In components.0.components.0.options: Must be 19 or more in length.

what do you think this could mean

[hollow agate]

I must have 19 characters in the label? I don’t quite understand.

[slate swan]

must have 19(+) elements for options

[hollow agate]

I still don’t quite understand, I’m sorry.

[slate swan]

that's discord.py right?

[hollow agate]

Yes, it is.

[sick birch]

I have never seen that before

Oddly specific number

[hollow agate]

I’m not sure what’s wrong haha

I’m sure not many people have tried to do this either :P

[slate swan]

can i see your view class

[hollow agate]

Surely

[slate swan]

and the select's super().init

[hollow agate]

class ApplicationManagerDropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, roles):
        self.roles = roles

        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=x) for x in roles]
        
        print(options)

        super().__init__(placeholder="Choose all the roles you're applying for!", min_values=1, max_values=19, options=options)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message('test', ephemeral=True)

class ApplicationManagerDropdownView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, roles):
        super().__init__()
        self.roles = roles

        self.add_item(ApplicationManagerDropdown(roles))```

I can provide the entire file if that helps :D

[slate swan]

max_values=19,

you are allowing user to choose a max of 19 options, but providing less than that

[hollow agate]

That worked 😂

Thank you so much! I am… stupid :P

[night ether]

I am trying to make PyAv encode frames for aiortc. I receive bytes() object from server and I can't understand how I to properly encode bytes() object to make it numpy array to use AudioFrame.from_ndarray. To receive audio data I am using to_bytes, but looks like there is no from_bytes 😦 I receive pcm audio bytes() from here https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/opus.py#L518 and want to encode it into PyAv's Frame. I am using aiortc, but it needs the bytes() to be in Frame already. https://github.com/aiortc/aiortc/blob/ffe2a566da74e000fc5bef354ae3f0a9a90c40e2/src/aiortc/codecs/opus.py#L65 So I need a way to encode bytes() into av.AudioFrame

[unkempt canyon]

discord/opus.py line 518

return array.array("h", pcm[: ret * channel_count]).tobytes()```
`src/aiortc/codecs/opus.py` line 65
```py
def encode(```

[silent portal]

Any way I can do this in a better way 😭

[hollow agate]

One more thing, how could I allow them to select multiple?

I usually do that with max_values.

[slate swan]

set max_values to the number of options you want them to choose

[night ether]

I think I need to convert the bytes() to numpy array and feed it into av.AudioFrame.from_ndarray(). But I can't find any examples.

[hollow agate]

Hm. They can choose up to 19 if all 19 are provided

How would I make it differ depending on how many roles are provided?

[slate swan]

len(roles) lol

[hollow agate]

Oh lol

Thank you! 😅

[slate swan]

match/case? (python 3.10+)

[night ether]

All the expressions are the same, so just move their data into a list and put tuples (or dataclasses) of expressions literals into it. Then check for matches with for loop.

[cloud dawn]

There is and it's called math.

[slate swan]

i also have some doubts with the logic

!e ```py
print(1>= 1> 0)

ow oki this works

[spring summit]

how do i add unixtimestamps to my commands? like for example i wanna do .hello and a embed is gonna pop up with 30 days relative time countdown from that moment

how would i do that

[slate swan]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.11)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[slate swan]

pass in the datetime with style = "R"

[spring summit]

how would i do that lmao

im kinda new to all this

OH my bad lol

[slate swan]

did you get it or should i show an example

[spring summit]

please do.

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import datetime
now = datetime.datetime.now()
_5_mins_later = now + datetime.timedelta(minutes=5)
print(f"<t:{int(_5_mins_later.timestamp())}:R>")

[unkempt canyon]

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

<t:1668028718:R>

[slate swan]

when i paste the output: <t:1668028718:R>

[spring summit]

okay lemme try

OMG IT WORKS

[nocturne compass]

i want my bot to take someone to a url if they click my button how is this done?

[waxen cradle]

Intents.guild is present in Intents.all ?

[nocturne compass]

code currently

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.button the url kwarg

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[slate swan]

and set button style to ButtonStyle.url

[slate swan]

yes, .all() has all intents

[waxen cradle]

thx

[nocturne compass]

huh

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

you can't make a url button like that in a view, will have to manually create a ui.Button instance and add it to the view using view.add_item

[nocturne compass]

got it ty @slate swan

[spring summit]

WAIT I NEED HELP AGAIN LMAO

it doesnt work with embeds

what do i do

[slate swan]

it won't work in field names, embed title, author name, and the footer

[waxen cradle]

i want to make the bot send a message at a specific hour everyday, what should i modify here bcs i get "sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Loop._loop' was never awaited"

[primal token]

I dont making mine authentic

[sick birch]

Better. No advertising. Now, what code do you have so far, and please send any tracebacks so we can help with any specific issues you are having

[strange python]

wait do pthyon scrips run 24/7

[sick birch]

On a general basis though, check this out for sending a message every 5 minutes:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html
And to delete a message after a minute, pass in delete_after=60 to your .send

[sick birch]

You'll need to buy a VPS. Check #965291480992321536 pins for options

[strange python]

okay

do replit scrips work on python

[sick birch]

Replit works but we don't recommended it

Not a very good "host"

[strange python]

yeah replit is shitty

[digital lava]

you can run it off of your pc

[strange python]

only runs for 10 minutes max

[strange python]

yeah but can i take the script from replit and import it into python?

i have it downloaded

[sick birch]

Sure, is it a .py file?

[waxen cradle]

umm no

[strange python]

thats is what it is

[sick birch]

You might consider updating as I believe 2.0 has a nice method for running a loop at a specific time of day

[strange python]

i jus downloaded it straight from replit

[slate swan]

node_modules, i wonder what does that belongs to ❓

[sick birch]

This doesn't seem like a Python project

[waxen cradle]

thx

[strange python]

yeah its a replit

[slate swan]

bruh that's a nodejs project

[strange python]

i was wondering if i could import to python

[sick birch]

Yes, but it isn't a Python project

It's written in Node.js

[strange python]

how do i make it a python project

[sick birch]

Rewrite it from scratch

Python and Nodejs are 2 seperate programming languages

So Nodejs code won't work on Python and vice versa

[strange python]

can i give you like $20 and you do it for me

its an easy script

[sick birch]

No, that's against our server rules. Or you can do it yourself for free

(With help from this server)

[strange python]

i dont know how to do this stuff

[mighty pilot]

It's an easy script just rewrite it

[sick birch]

Sounds like a good time to pick up a new skill!

[slate swan]

if its that simple there already has to be a bot that does that task, just use a public one

[sick birch]

If you'd like, I can send resources over to help you get started

[mighty pilot]

There are also resources to host a node.js bot but you likely won't find them here

At least not in abundance

[sick birch]

I believe all the hosts in #965291480992321536 should still apply unless they're specialized

DevOps and your programming language should mostly be independent of each other IMO

[mighty pilot]

I used to use a website called autocode which is a serverless hosting site for node.js that offers a free tier for I think 500 api requests a month?

[sick birch]

Personally I like to dockerize my code and chuck it onto EKS or just run it on ECS

[slate swan]

imagine hosting

[sick birch]

or if its just a hobby bot i'll throw it onto my raspberry pi

which i still can't find

even though it's connected to the network

[slate swan]

wtf

[mighty pilot]

I got a whole ass dell rack server in my house just for hobbies

[sick birch]

Schrodinger's Pi

[sick birch]

haha. never know when that could come in handy

[mighty pilot]

Gonna throw a plex server vm on it soon

Got a buddy that has a few thousand movies on his Google drive and he's already bought a couple hard drives for me to load up on movies

[potent spear]

make sure it's overheating and try to smell where the fire is coming from

[mighty pilot]

Ooo that's smart

[sick birch]

the thing can't heat up to save its life

[mighty pilot]

Just burn your house down and search the rubble

[sick birch]

unlike my PC

you would think a liquid cooler would do an adequate job but nope
80C when coding

[mighty pilot]

How many outlets do you have in your house that you can't find where it's plugged in lmao

[pliant gulch]

Local SSH into it and try to track it down or something

If it has sound you could load up software that plays a ping

[sick birch]

you underestimate how many outlets houses have

[mighty pilot]

I own a house

[pliant gulch]

You can prob find the IP via wireshark or termshark

[potent spear]

if only it had speakers

[pliant gulch]

Or prob ssh (...).local if you know the username & hostname

[sick birch]

piece of shit raspberry pi

[potent spear]

I don't see why not finding it would be a problem
think of it as a VPS

[slate swan]

simply searching for it is also an option

[patent lark]

hm.

[mighty pilot]

Just walk around the walls and trace down everything that's plugged in anywhere sounds like you don't want to find it

[pliant gulch]

inb4 shut off all your breakers in your house and slowly turn them back on to see which breaker causes the Pi to go off the network

[sick birch]

yeah tbh don't really care much either

[sick birch]

i probably could if i wanted to, you're right

dont use it much these days anyway
the pi is probably off plotting plans to take over the world

[pliant gulch]

Don't let the Pi figure out how to do matrix dot products

[mighty pilot]

Make sure all your guns are accounted for you don't want it integrating those into its own system

[sick birch]

of course. we programmers always keep a loaded gun next to our electronics in case they make a weird noise

[mighty pilot]

Just not too close. You gotta be able to get to it before they do

[mighty pilot]

Use one like this it'll act as an afterburner for itself and be more efficient as a heat source

Anyone know if there's a discord bot for streaming video to discord? Like from a website not from a video game streaming service

[pliant gulch]

If this was a joke about plugging itself into itself then I wouldn't be afraid as most circuits are protected nowawadays

[pliant gulch]

Without streaming via discord call?

Because otherwise you'd basically have a glorified link sender

[mighty pilot]

Well it would be via discord call. Like screenshare

[pliant gulch]

Well, that's impossible

Unless you self-bot, but then again, it's a self-bot

[nocturne compass]

how do i make my bot send a message after a person says something to it

if that makes sense

i want my bot to reply back to when the person says there id

[mighty pilot]

Yea I don't wanna go around breaking tos with a self bot. Just had an idea to stream a TV series 24/7 in my server. Tried doing it with an alt account but discord dropped my frame rate significantly after 24 hours so I was wondering if there's some alternative where I could do it via a bot that's told when to stream and such

[pliant gulch]

The API is only for user accounts not bot accounts

So there is no intended way for bot's to stream

[mighty pilot]

Missed opportunity

[pliant gulch]

And either way the bot would also receive a frame rate drop probably (if it were to be added)

[nocturne compass]

not a on_messsage

[mighty pilot]

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.

Wait_for()

[nocturne compass]

how to use

[mighty pilot]

The link I sent

It has an example of waiting for a reply

[waxen cradle]

For the discord bot sending a message at a specific hour, should i use date.time ?

[hushed galleon]

dpy 2.0's task loops actually have support for scheduling based on a datetime.time, so its pretty easy to use

[spice scroll]

everything is against me trying to run a fucking discord bot, when I try on replit it says this:

i fixed it once by sending kill 1 in the shell but now that doesnt work

aight nvm

i got it ||for now||

[upbeat gust]

You could just, not use replit

[ivory spindle]

i just transferred my bot from replit to railway, is there a way to copy the sqlite database over with all of the data? if not what similar database is there that keeps all the data even if i migrate to a different platform

[mighty pilot]

There should be a way to export the database then import it to the new machine

[ivory spindle]

thx, do you happen to know whether railway supports sqlite? i know heroku resets sqlite after each push so i was wondering whether railway does the same

[ionic garden]

how do i make a select menu contain all users
in a server

[hushed galleon]

using discord's native feature for "user selects"? dpy currently has this implemented in the master (i.e. development) branch, though i havent personally used it myself

if you want to install the development branch to try it, run pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
and its documented in the latest version of the docs here (dont mix up with the stable version)
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.select

[ionic garden]

i guess i'll wait

[spice scroll]

Hm

[spice scroll]

I mean I preferably use pycharm but sometimes I need to run it and can’t use it

[slate swan]

use oracle cloud. no reason not too especially if you are resorting to repl it

[upbeat gust]

Pycharm is an editor my guy

Use a vps

[slate swan]

railway has an ephemeral file system and will remove all the extra files ( like your sql db) after some time

[slate swan]

there arent problems w json right?

[cloud dawn]

Change "arent" to "are" and this is right.

[slate swan]

😭

[cloud dawn]

Json files aren't really meant to be edited.

[slate swan]

db is just harder for me to use

[cloud dawn]

I've tried both actually and json to let it work correctly is far more difficult then a db

And why just for you?

[slate swan]

wdym

[cloud dawn]

Well you said harder for me to use

[slate swan]

yes

[cloud dawn]

Why just for you?

[slate swan]

its hard for a lot of ppl but also for me

[cloud dawn]

I'm confident that everyone can learn sql in like a day

Easy to learn hard to master kind of language

[slate swan]

ive tried learning

[cloud dawn]

What did you try?

I recommend trying out postgresql then you can create a db and have an interface to test queries

[slate swan]

thanks!

[cloud dawn]

If you have any difficulties just ping me.

[slate swan]

okay tysmmm

[cloud dawn]

Great thing about it is that you don't need to know how to create a db with raw sql with is often the hardest part with sqlite

[slate swan]

idk what to create tbh

someone told me to make the create giveaway slash command id but idk how to do it

[cloud dawn]

That is a pretty hard command.

[slate swan]

i made the create giveaway

but idk how to make it have an id

[slate swan]

!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:
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.

[alpine cove]

you should at least know the sql basics

like doesnt matter if psql sql or sqlite

just learn at least of them

its gonna become handy in the feature pretty sure

[cloud dawn]

For beginners postgre is easier.

[alpine cove]

tbh never tried

[slate swan]

how do I make all this 1 string so I don't get this error?

[slate swan]

use a multiline string

string = """
line 1
line2
"""

thank you i'll try it

it is also way to long and you will still get an error

oh nvm i see

[slate swan]

Trying to make the bot respond with the string but I got an error

[slate swan]

you're askin for a message argument in the command but aren't providing it

could you show me an example?

? what made you write "message" in the command argument

I thought the string would be the message since I specified message = string

[placid skiff]

bruh

Just like others functions, the parameters that you define must be provided

def myfunc(value):
  print(value)
myfunc() #raises TypeError error, missing 1 required positional argument
mufunc(1) #prints 1 

in dpy function parameters are taken by the input of the user within the command

@command()
async def mycommand(ctx, value):
  #ctx is passed by default when the command is casted
  await ctx.send(value)

if the user types <prefix>mycommand MissingRequiredArgument error is raised since value parameter was not being passed. If the user types <prefix>mycommand hello then value will be equals to hello and the bot will send hello

[cloud dawn]

That's a long prefix ngl

[slate swan]

oh I see, I get it

[signal hedge]

what happened

[naive briar]

Your token is invalid

my uncle who makes websites for huge companies keeps a loaded sniper rifle next to him in his room

were in scotland

im not sure its legal

[slate swan]

that message was sent 12 hrs ago bruh

[abstract onyx]

why a sniper tho

why not a ak, ar I don't know anything that can be used in semi automatic

[cloud dawn]

I suggest postgresql

[slate swan]

If I have my dms closed, and dm a discord bot, would the bot be able to add reactions to my message?

[verbal monolith]

ifyou dm first

it negates the closed dms

[slate swan]

how about a paper with a few columns

So the bot would be able to respond too?

if you have the dms closed it wont be able to send you the message

even if there already is a convo

the reactions can be added unless you block the bot

[cloud dawn]

They say a piece of paper is around 5kb

Discord bot on paper.

[slate swan]

cheaper than a memory hungry database server

[whole sparrow]

Whats the typehint for bot object in discord.py?

like inter is disnake.CommandInteraction, whats bot?

[slate swan]

the same class that you used to create your bot object

[whole sparrow]

ah yh im dumb its commands.Bot

thanks

Any reason why self.bot.get_channel(voice_channel_id) is returning a nonetype?

in disnake

[slate swan]

the channel is not cached yet

or the voice_channel_id is invalid

[whole sparrow]

Hmm id is valid so i'd assume its not that, what do you mean by it's not cached? and how would I solve it

[slate swan]

you should be doing cache operations only after the bot is running

[whole sparrow]

ahh

its fetch instead of get_channel

[slate swan]

fetch makes an api call yes

it will always give you the channel even if its not cached

[whole sparrow]

Yeah, thanks so much just searched up on google.

Yep, never knew about caching and channels so now its good knowledge

thanks for your help

[hallow palm]

What is the reason why nobody tests their bots? It seems standard to just run it and hope nothing errors.

[slate swan]

it's not actually possible to do that without the gateway ( or some other source) sending payloads to the websocket since 90% bot processes depend on them

[hushed galleon]

i know the python discord bot has their own test suite, but apparently it involves a lot of discord mocks, and im not sure what their test coverage is
https://github.com/python-discord/bot/tree/main/tests
https://github.com/python-discord/bot/blob/main/tests/helpers.py

[slate swan]

it just tests all the constructors afaik

[slate swan]

oh wait it does test models too

[hallow palm]

For all the nagging i see on testing things, i am quite surprised how often testing gets skipped for a large variety of software.

[slate swan]

if it works, it works

[hallow palm]

Not as a complaint to bot devs. More so just the wierd standard of making tooling such as d.py not testable.

[pliant gulch]

discord.py could be testable, but it's quite cumbersome to mock all those objects

[hallow palm]

As its more a tooling thing than a developer perspective.

[pliant gulch]

not to mention mocking HTTP requests

I have seen regular bot developers unit test before but it doesn't add as many benefits as it should

I would just test your code inline rather than write down unit tests

Another reason in my eyes would be, well what exactly do you need to test? Discord.py wraps the API so mostly they would only need to test their abstractions, so once you get rid of testing the API from discord you get rid of like, 90% of the wrapper basically

[kind trellis]

How can I capture what the user is replying to when a command is sent?

[pliant gulch]

You'd basically be testing attributes at that point

[pliant gulch]

And again you could mock it, which would be useful for ratelimit testing E.g bucket limits, bucket hashing etc

Hi guys ! I just started thinking with the OOP paradigm few days ago, and I think i'm doing good already. However I still kinda get lost in my flow of data and I'd like to have some help if you guys fancy. In the following program, the bot instantly cancels the report after I run the command, without throwing any error and I'm confused. Can you guys help me figure it out? :D

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/numidetowo

[hushed galleon]

asyncio.wait() returns a tuple of two sets, first containing the done task and the second containing pending tasks
https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait

[kind trellis]

I get <member 'reference' of 'Message' objects> when I print it

How do I integrate it into ctx.reply?

[hushed galleon]

although the above issue only applies after one of those tasks finish, but if your command immediately says its cancelled after doing nothing, perhaps there's another bug

[cerulean folio]

ohhh so i'm storing a tuple instead of a variable I get it, lemme try this

[slate swan]

you didn't just copy paste discord.Message.reference, did you?

[hushed galleon]

you can also rewrite check=lambda message: cancel_filter(self, message) as check=self.cancel_filter

and line 177, Reportee.ask() isnt awaited

[kind trellis]

I'm trying to understand a new thing for me

[slate swan]

what exactly do you want to do

[kind trellis]

This

[slate swan]

ctx.message.reference.resolved.reply

[kind trellis]

What about ctx.replied_reference or are those two the same?

[slate swan]

idk about that but most probably not

[kind trellis]

One way to find out

[cerulean folio]

AHHH thank you I wasn't sure about this one lol !

[jovial lynx]

how do i get intents to work?

discord.intents = intents.default()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ciaran/discord_bots/main.py", line 12, in <module>
    discord.intents = intents.default()
NameError: name 'intents' is not defined

[slate swan]

!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.

[cerulean folio]

hint: it's case sensitive

[hushed galleon]

-1 for only importing Intents, and -1 for not enabling message_content

[jovial lynx]

oh okay, and now this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ciaran/discord_bots/main.py", line 25, in <module>
    @client.command()
NameError: name 'client' is not defined

[hushed galleon]

but otherwise yeah that example is how you'd do it

[jovial lynx]

oh it changed to bot

okay got it

[slate swan]

for the second one, this tag is like a year old lol
but yeah it could be updated

[spring needle]

How to get command from cogs?

[hushed galleon]

the last update to it was 6 months ago specifically to add that message content in the first paragraph, but the code example was not updated

maybe there's another PR about it, if not ill do it

[spring needle]

I tried bot.get_command but it requires self and ctx arg, when I added them to callback it says self not defined

[hushed galleon]

what do you need the command for? where are you using it in your code?

[slate swan]

yeah that would be nice, adding comments about which privileged intents enables what features would be even more helpful !!

[hushed galleon]

bot.get_command() should only require a single string describing the command's name

[spring needle]

Yes, I want to let my code run the command in the cog

As a interaction response to the selection menu

[quaint epoch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_command

get_command(name, /)```
Get a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") from the internal list of commands.

This could also be used as a way to get aliases.

The name could be fully qualified (e.g. `'foo bar'`) will get the subcommand `bar` of the group command `foo`. If a subcommand is not found then `None` is returned just as usual.

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

[naive briar]

My god I can't type

[hushed galleon]

hm, i guess that might be alright to do, though imo its usually easier to refactor your command into a third function

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.from_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.from\_interaction

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

Creates a context from a [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction"). This only works on application command based interactions, such as slash commands or context menus.

On slash command based interactions this creates a synthetic [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") that points to an ephemeral message that the command invoker has executed. This means that [`Context.author`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.author "discord.ext.commands.Context.author") returns the member that invoked the command.

In a message context menu based interaction, the [`Context.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.message "discord.ext.commands.Context.message") attribute is the message that the command is being executed on. This means that [`Context.author`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.author "discord.ext.commands.Context.author") returns the author of the message being targetted. To get the member that invoked the command then [`discord.Interaction.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.user "discord.Interaction.user") should be used instead.

New in version 2.0.

async def check_cancel(self):

        continue
    return True

Is this a proper way to listen to a cancel button?

(I subclassed View and added self.canceled = False that gets changed with a button callback)

[hushed galleon]

your while-loop would run indefinitely and block the event loop

[cerulean folio]

I'll use asyncio.wait() and it will run with another function tho

I mean I'm already using it

[upbeat otter]

continue is used in a loop
you would either want to use a pass statement or return a False here
(pass will make the function return None here)

[hushed galleon]

but your function is still not yielding to the event loop

[cerulean folio]

I don't get it

[jovial lynx]

how do i solve this?

2022-11-10 14:03:46 WARNING  discord.ext.commands.bot Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.

[hushed galleon]

remember that the event loop relies on cooperative multitasking, as in tasks must yield themselves so others can run

that yielding only occurs when the task does an await, or async for, or async with

while not cancelled: pass never yields, so it prevents all other tasks from running

(not to mention it maxes out your CPU core)

[hushed galleon]

you need to enable the message_content intent on your Intents object before you pass it to the commands.Bot constructor

[jovial lynx]

he has it man....

[hushed galleon]

e.g. py intents = discord.Intents.default() intents.message_content = True bot = commands.Bot(...) # here is same as what you had before

[jovial lynx]

wtf why is the bot dming the responses

instead of sending in chat

    if message.content.startswith('hello'):
        msg = 'Hello, how are you? {0.author.mention}'.format(message)
        await message.author.send(msg)

[hushed galleon]

a better solution would be using an asyncio.Event and having check_cancel() wait for it to be set by your cancel button, or if your cancel button calls View.stop() then i would use the built-in View.wait() method

[hushed galleon]

message.author.send() is sending your text to the author of the message that it received in the event, hence why its written as message.author.send

if you want to send to the same channel that the message came from, you'd write message.channel.send()

the documentation will help you figure out what attributes and methods there are

!d discord.Message.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.channel

The TextChannel or Thread that the message was sent from. Could be a DMChannel or GroupChannel if it’s a private message.

[kind trellis]

Just ctx.message.reference is what was needed. Can that return None, btw?

[hushed galleon]

whenever the message doesnt reference anything, yes

resolved might also return none too

[ocean dragon]

how can I add a parameter to load_extension? should I inherit commands.Bot or is there a better way?

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.

[upbeat otter]

you might want to make it a bot variable instead, see !botvar for more information

or you can make self.database a class variable instead and then import the cog class manually and set the database variable

'''bot/member.py'''
class SomeCogIDC(commands.Cog):
  database: ... = None

  def __init__(self) -> None:
    ...

''' main.py '''

from bot.member import SomeCogIDC

SomeCogIDC.database = "no"

[slate swan]

you'll have to override or monkeypatch

[ocean dragon]

I guess I'll override, I have many bots and many cogs for bots, so it'll be cleanest

what is monkeypatch though

[slate swan]

you can just make database an attr of bot tho

[maiden fable]

ID is prolly wrong

[slate swan]

it is sending that but not w the stuff in the img

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

Ah sorry never used Pillow

[slate swan]

oh okay ty!

[upbeat otter]

smort huhh

[upbeat otter]

ahem

[maiden fable]

Seriously tho

[upbeat otter]

nvm, I need to seriously fix my mind

[maiden fable]

Well u can help him if u have used Pillow lol

[upbeat otter]

haven't ever
totally not learning pillow until desperation arrives

[maiden fable]

!pypi easy_pil is always there but 🤷

[unkempt canyon]

easy-pil v0.1.9

A library to make common tasks of Pillow easy.

[ivory spindle]

then should i switch to postgres? or stay on sqlite and use replit

[vale wing]

You should just quit replit if you need data storage

In fact you should quit it anyway

I see no reason in using browser IDE when you can use local IDE which is much more flexible and powerful

Unless you have like very low-end PC that can't even run VSC

[sick birch]

anything after 2000s should be able to run VSC

or even emacs

How to invoke a command from another cog in discord py? For example when I do /menu then a embed message and a selection menu will pop up and if I select something in the selection menu, I want it to run another command from another cog

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_command

get_command(name, /)```
Get a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") from the internal list of commands.

This could also be used as a way to get aliases.

The name could be fully qualified (e.g. `'foo bar'`) will get the subcommand `bar` of the group command `foo`. If a subcommand is not found then `None` is returned just as usual.

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

[spring needle]

I tried, but nothing returns

[maiden fable]

then the name is wrong?

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.cogs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.cogs

property cogs```
A read-only mapping of cog name to cog.

[spring needle]

So if I want the abc command is the cog to run I use “bot.get_command(‘abc’)”

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[spring needle]

Ya and just interaction failed

No error in the console

[maiden fable]

Do u have an error handler

[spring needle]

No

[maiden fable]

Hm weird

Mind showing the code?

[shrewd apex]

get a logger and it could fail coz two reasons an internal command error or duration to respond is greater than 3 sec if u did not defer

[mighty pilot]

Try setting the coordinates to where you want stuff pasted to 1,1 that should put it in the top left corner and adjust from there based on how many pixels your image has

[slate swan]

anyone have any examples of discord py, using buttons with @bot.listen commands.

[slate swan]

yes i had a mistake in the code lol tyyy

[mighty pilot]

Alright

[spring needle]

Also you may DM me for errors just for privacy and save public space

Guy

Am tryna make a free crypto mining discord bot

but when somebody does !mine

it mines for him in his account

but how do i make it when its mining

like os.system(f"py cryptomining.py")

but when it does thhe procces

it pauses the bot

is there anyways i make it so it doesnt pause the bot or does the mining in another cmd tab like open another cmd tab and do it in there

is there if there is pls tell me

i dont think thats possible

[cloud dawn]

It's not like his account will mine then...?

Confusion 100%

[slate swan]

ok just tell me

is it possible to make a cmd procces open in a new tab

[cloud dawn]

I don't think you read what we typed

[slate swan]

so it doesnt pause the discord bot?

ok sorry forgot what i wrote just tell me

[cloud dawn]

Yes

[slate swan]

how

[cloud dawn]

!d asyncio.create_subprocess_shell

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_subprocess\_shell

coroutine asyncio.create_subprocess_shell(cmd, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, limit=None, **kwds)```
Run the *cmd* shell command.

The *limit* argument sets the buffer limit for [`StreamReader`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-stream.html#asyncio.StreamReader "asyncio.StreamReader") wrappers for `Process.stdout` and `Process.stderr` (if [`subprocess.PIPE`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.PIPE "subprocess.PIPE") is passed to *stdout* and *stderr* arguments).

Return a [`Process`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-subprocess.html#asyncio.subprocess.Process "asyncio.subprocess.Process") instance.

See the documentation of [`loop.subprocess_shell()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.subprocess_shell "asyncio.loop.subprocess_shell") for other parameters.

Important

It is the application’s responsibility to ensure that all whitespace and special characters are quoted appropriately to avoid [shell injection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_injection#Shell_injection) vulnerabilities. The [`shlex.quote()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html#shlex.quote "shlex.quote") function can be used to properly escape whitespace and special shell characters in strings that are going to be used to construct shell commands...

[cloud dawn]

Yes

[slate swan]

nvm am not gonna be able to let u understand

i want u to make it for me

[cloud dawn]

Most likely

It's 1 line of code

[slate swan]

os.system(f"java -jar cryptomining.jar {arg1} {arg2} {arg3} 60 5000 y")

@cloud dawn can you help me w some

can u make it so when it runs this command it opens a new shell pls

[cloud dawn]

Sure :3

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Look at this Embed, first arg is a cmd.

[slate swan]

how do i use discord buttons on @bot.listen commands on embeds

pls do it for me

[cloud dawn]

Hmm, I'd need more info, I get your idea but I need to think about it too since with slash you do need some kind of interaction.

[slate swan]

@cloud dawn i just need u to give me a code i replace with this that makes it so it runs this command but in a different cmd os.system(f"java -jar XDDOS.jar {arg1} {arg2} {arg3} 60 5000 y")

like just transform that function innto a code a that makes it so it runs in new cmd

why u go

me now sed D:

[maiden fable]

what is happening here

!d asyncio.create_subprocess_shell if u wanna run a cmd command from a discord bot

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_subprocess\_shell

@maiden fable am new to this i dont understand anything

can u just make this os.system(f"java -jar cryptomining.jar {arg1} {arg2} {arg3} 60 5000 y")

[maiden fable]

Uh, do u know about asyncio and awaiting stuff?

[slate swan]

into a command which does the same but in a new cmd

[maiden fable]

confusion 100
@cloud dawn is more experienced and will help u thanks

[slate swan]

oke D:

We won't help with this since this tool is mostly used to ddos minecraft servers.
