[shadow vigil]

lol is that your goal : sob :

[slate swan]

kinda ,yes

[maiden fable]

or your condition

[glass quail]

🤔 yeah I’ll have to look at a guide to walk me through it lol

[maiden fable]

You should see their API (if they got any) or search YouTube I am sure there are some

[slate swan]

im yet more devastated

[maiden fable]

You're welcome

[gleaming herald]

what would happen if bot commands do not have timeouts?

[maiden fable]

Wanna join me in completing IT Project?

[slate swan]

what topic? ill assume MySQL

[maiden fable]

They will go on and on and on and on and crash/block yr bot

[maiden fable]

You assumed right
Completed the Python one now copying the MySQL one

[glass quail]

I see, I am guessing they may have a guide on their API ?

[maiden fable]

Probably

[gleaming herald]

could you give an example?

[slate swan]

nice nice i can help when im home at 9:30

[maiden fable]

of?

[glass quail]

Okay I’ll try that out

[maiden fable]

Lmao its more of- Copy from the docx file the teacher sent ezzz

[gleaming herald]

this

[shadow vigil]

i think you can search for music bot but replacing youtube with that website

[maiden fable]

What kind of example u talking about here?

[gleaming herald]

a command with no timeout

[glass quail]

True, that’s what I was just thinking. Thank you!

[gleaming herald]

and how it will block the bot

[shadow vigil]

in short debugging the code so it fit the ToS

[maiden fable]

It can crash the bot if the command takes too much resources
It can block the event loop of the bot which will render the bot unresponsive. Though it hardly happens, it will happen when u use sync libraries like time, requests etc

[shadow vigil]

glad to help

[gleaming herald]

right, makes sense

[slate swan]

🗿 i made a whole fkin package last year, paid off with full marks

really had second feelings that its more advanced than taught and will get rejected

[maiden fable]

Me who is copying 5 A4 sheets from the same docx file, being used by 5 more people

[slate swan]

lol it works that way most students in my class did same

[maiden fable]

Its easy

But ot so eh imma go complete it

[slate swan]

is it python mysql bindings or just raw sql

[maiden fable]

MySQL.connector

[slate swan]

throw some asyncio and run_in_executor in it

[maiden fable]

Bro, my peers and teacher already think I am some Python god so no thanks

[shadow vigil]

The same happened to me in high school the teacher started targeting me when he found out I am a python programmer

ngl it was so so easy but for them, it's deadly hard

[slate swan]

my teacher made me write practicals for others

the examiner was in next room and he was like
help others if you're done

[maiden fable]

Nice

[shrewd apex]

hunter flex

[maiden fable]

Its kinda weird but okay if u think like that

[shrewd apex]

🗿it was a joke bruh

[primal token]

🙇‍♂️

[maiden fable]

I am at that point of my life where jokes are serious and seriousness is joke

[slate swan]

whats life?

[maiden fable]

you joke

[shrewd apex]

jee char gaya kya?

[maiden fable]

#ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

[slate swan]

nice nickname lol

[warped mirage]

I need some help

So a basic command, wc_set, one option, and yea it posts in a specific channel what the user said in that option. and like a list of available things, if its in the list, then it sends, if not, then it says this item doesnt exist on the list. and obvs lower or caps doesnt matter, as long as spelling is correct

[slate swan]

So- what is the actual issue?

[warped mirage]

Im not sure how to make it

[slate swan]

What have you tried so far?

[warped mirage]

Idk just made the basic so async def and that

[sick birch]

Let's see it

[slate swan]

Try split the issue up into smaller steps then. How are you going to define your list? How can you compare the user's input to your list to decide whether it's a valid choice? Then think about how you'd like your bot to respond in each case.

[sick birch]

First steps would be to create a function definition.

Show us what you've got so far and we'll go from there

[warped mirage]

Ok

[warped mirage]

@client.tree.command(description="Set your wc country")
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction):```

This is all I have atm

[sick birch]

That's a pretty good start, you've got a slash command that takes no arguments

So you want 2 arguments:

• the channel to post it to
• a list of things they can say

Start off with the channel, as that's the easiest. See what you can come up with

[warped mirage]

Well. Not quite. the only option they have is the country. it will automatically send the thing into a specific channel i have

[sick birch]

Ah, you want it to be a pre-selected channel?

[warped mirage]

Yes

like a specific one

[sick birch]

Alright, no prob. Just one argument then:

• a list of things they can say

let me find the appropriate docs, it's been a while since i did this. give me a sec

[warped mirage]

Correct, in other words. just one country lmfao

[sick birch]

Ah here's an example

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.describe(fruits='fruits to choose from')
@app_commands.choices(fruits=[
    Choice(name='apple', value=1),
    Choice(name='banana', value=2),
    Choice(name='cherry', value=3),
])
async def fruit(interaction: discord.Interaction, fruits: Choice[int]):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your favourite fruit is {fruits.name}.')

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.choices

As noted in the docs, however, there are 2 better ways to do it

The easiest way would be to use a Literal, the best way (while not as easy, still pretty easy, however) would be to use an Enum

[warped mirage]

hmm

Let me explain what i mean

choices = ["England", ""... and so on]

if msg doesnt equal choices, sends a ephemeral, this doesnt exist
if choice equals in the message, then send to channel. idk how to explain

I am making a command for world cup. so whichever team wins. but only the team that are in group stages. if not in it. then the country doesnt exist in world cup.

[sick birch]

I get what you're saying - this is exactly what you need

[warped mirage]

Oh ok

[sick birch]

Also you can't send an ephemeral message saying "this country doesn't exist" because discord will force you to pick a valid choice

[warped mirage]

Oh. nvm i made a mistake

[sick birch]

It's impossible to pick something that's not an choice you've defined

[warped mirage]

I meant country is the option. and u write a any country. I was confused sorry

for example

[sick birch]

Ah, so you can input any string?

[warped mirage]

/wc_set country: england

[sick birch]

No options to choose from?

[warped mirage]

Yes. but it must be in the list. so like yk. if it doesnt exist then no

kinda confusing

[sick birch]

I don't see why you can't use a option for that

[warped mirage]

Idk, i guess I just want it that way lol. itll be better for me

[sick birch]

The UI is very nice for it - discord shows you all the options you can choose from and you just need to point and click

Much easier on your end as well because you don't have to handle the case of "user picked an invalid option"

Because it's impossible to pick an invalid option

[warped mirage]

I mean that would be easier for me to understand. But whatever works.

[sick birch]

Give it a shot. Typehint your 2nd argument (after the interaction) to something like country: Literal["England", ...]

Just make sure you

from typing import Literal

at the very top

[warped mirage]

@client.tree.command(description="Set your wc country")
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction, country: Literal["Netherlands", "Ecuador", "Senegal", "Qatar", "England", "Wales", "Usa", "Iran", "Saudi Arabia", "Mexico", "Poland", "Argentina", "Tunisia", "Denmark", "France", "Australia"]):``` Lets keep this for now

[sick birch]

Oh that is quite a lot

[warped mirage]

ye, there is a bunch lmao

[sick birch]

it should work but I would recommend changing it to an Enum later on

[warped mirage]

Okay

[sick birch]

class Country(enum.Enum):
  Netherlands = 1,
  Ecuador = 2,
  ...

@client.ree.command(...)
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction, country: Country):
  ...

When you switch later on

[warped mirage]

Okay

so what should I do now?

[sick birch]

Does the wc_set function have anything in it's body?

[warped mirage]

Like wdym

[sick birch]

@client.tree.command(...)
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction, country: Country):
  ... # anything here?

[warped mirage]

Not yet

Rn i was just setting the literal

[sick birch]

Just put some placeholder like:

await interaction.send(f"The country you chose was: {country}")

[warped mirage]

So i need an if statement, if the country doesnt equal to what is in the literal, nothing happens. if it does. then it sends message

if country != Literal:
        await interaction.response.send_message("This country is not in the world cup..", ephemeral="True")
    else:
        await interaction.send(f"The country you chose was: {country}")```

This would work?

[sick birch]

You just need

await interaction.send(f"The country you chose was: {country}")

A user can only pick from the options you give them

[warped mirage]

Wait what are we doing

[sick birch]

So you don't need to worry about handling that

[warped mirage]

Im confused

[sick birch]

@client.tree.command(description="Set your wc country")
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction, country: Literal[...]):
  await interaction.send(f"The country you chose was: {country}")

[warped mirage]

oh

[sick birch]

Your code should look something like that

With the countries filled in of course

[warped mirage]

I wanted to do like this lmao. so any string

[sick birch]

Oh you want them to be able to pick 3 different countries?

[warped mirage]

Only 1. for example lets take wc1 as an example. when u click on it. no options get shown. U write any string. but if it doesnt exist on the list of countries, then send message lol

[naive briar]

Use autocompletes

[sick birch]

What we're doing here is when you click on wc1, it shows a list of options you can pick from

[warped mirage]

oh, i thought something else

[warped mirage]

is it possible to do what i said or not really

[sick birch]

Random image i found online

Demonstrates it pretty well

What code do you have so far? It should actually work right now

[warped mirage]

same what u showed

[sick birch]

This?

[warped mirage]

yh

[sick birch]

Sync your command, and run it in discord

It'll be easier to understand once you can actually see it

[gilded lily]

I just had a funny idea for a project. An Eliza like discord bot that just replies with generic leading questions and is named "Professor R. Duck"

[fading dirge]

how do I enable slash commands on my bot?

[slate swan]

Create new slash commands by using the @app_commands.command decorator (assuming you're using dpy), then you have to sync the new slash commands to your bot.

[fading dirge]

its my first time doing that, how can I sync the new slash commands to my bot

[slate swan]

By using app_commands.CommandTree.sync(), you can pass a guild object to sync commands to a single guild or leave it empty to sync commands globally.

Remember to only sync when you actually need to though 🙂

[warped mirage]

@sick birch

@client.tree.command(description="Set your wc country")
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction, userchoice):
    choices = ["dawda", "fwqfwffw"]
    if userchoice not in choices:
        await interaction.response.send_message("This team is not in the list", ephemeral=True)
    else: 
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"I have selected your team as {userchoice}")
        channel = await interaction.guild.fetch_channel(232323131313)
        await channel.send(f"{interaction.user.id} Chose {userchoice}")
        open(f"./choices/{interaction.user.id}", "w").write(userchoice)``` would this work?

[topaz helm]

Does anyone have a staff application system?

(py)

[shrewd merlin]

anyone know the code off the top of their head to make a scheduled event happen each day?

[sick birch]

It should. Though you didn't end up going with the other method?

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.loops.Loop

[warped mirage]

yeah ill just stick with the options

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

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

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

[warped mirage]

But I need help

[sick birch]

With?

[slate swan]

can someone help me please

im making a very simple but i keep getting an error message

[warped mirage]

so it also sends in a channel

[sick birch]

Let's see what you made and the error message

[slate swan]

sure on seck

[sick birch]

That is what you want yeah?

[slate swan]

there is a picture of my code and error message

[warped mirage]

Ye, channel Id

[sick birch]

So what's the issue?

[sick birch]

!intents are required on version 2.0 and above

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, 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

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

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

[slate swan]

version 2.0 of repl?

[warped mirage]

idk, how to do.

[sick birch]

Version 2.0 of discord.py

[slate swan]

oh right, how do i get that?

[sick birch]

Looks like you're already doing it no?

        channel = await interaction.guild.fetch_channel(232323131313)
        await channel.send(f"{interaction.user.id} Chose {userchoice}")

[sick birch]

You're already on it

Which is why you're getting that error

They made intents require on versions 2.0 and above

[slate swan]

oh right, so how can i fix it?

[sick birch]

If you'll look at the embed it should have a code snippet showing how to include intents in your code

Also make sure to enable it in your developer dashboard

[slate swan]

sorry this is the first time ive made a bot

yeah it say init()

[warped mirage]

@client.tree.command(description="Set your wc country")
async def wc_set(interaction: discord.Interaction, country: Literal[...]):
await interaction.send(f"The country you chose was: {Literal}")
channel = await interaction.guild.fetch_channel(232323131313)
 await channel.send(f"{interaction.user.id} Chose {Literal}")

Should be fine I think

[sick birch]

This is the other method that was better. Much simpler. It should work, and the only thing you need to fix is the indents

The indents look a bit messed up but I'm not sure if it's just discord screwing it up

After that just sync your command like usual and it should work

[slate swan]

so how should i change line 4 to use intent?

[sick birch]

!intents

[sick birch]

Like in that little code box

[slate swan]

okay lemme try

im rlly bad at python, i never use it,

[sick birch]

No worries take a stab and it and come back if it doesn't work, I'll try to guide you through it

[slate swan]

thnx

i replaced line 4 of my code with this, intents = discord.Intents(messages=True) but not sure how to add client to this because the rest of my code uses client

[sick birch]

What do you have currently?

[slate swan]

because client is not defined now

ill screen shot it

[sick birch]

Text, please

[slate swan]

sure

it jsut says name "client" is not defined

because i replaced the client bit with intents = discord.Intents(messages=True)

[sick birch]

Can you show us the entire code you have at the moment?

[slate swan]

sure

import discord
import os

intents = discord.Intents(messages=True)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("We have logged in as {0.user}".format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith("$hello"):
await message.channel.send("Hello")

client.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

[sick birch]

Yeah it doesn't look like you have a client

You need to define your intents alongside your client, and then pass in your intents to the client

[slate swan]

yeah it isnt defined anywhere

[sick birch]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

is how people usually do it

[slate swan]

okay thnx, btw what should i put in place of the elipse

or is that mean to stay like that

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the client and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[sick birch]

The arguments that go here

So whatever you want really

[slate swan]

oh right thnx

[slate swan]

can you help me

[sick birch]

I can try

[sick birch]

Doesn't seem like you have the console module installed

Try python -m pip install console

[slate swan]

still dont work

[sick birch]

Does your python project use a virtual environment?

[slate swan]

huh?

[sick birch]

Are you using pycharm, perhaps?

[slate swan]

i dont know im new to this i made it into a exe file now it does this

[sick birch]

Made what into an exe file? And how?

[slate swan]

a py file to exe

[sick birch]

Ah that would explain it

[slate swan]

i did pip install pyinstaller

[sick birch]

Yeah pyinstaller/py2exe will usually do that. We don't recommend using it

[slate swan]

then pyinstaller --onefile -w main.py

[sick birch]

Probably just an issue with pyinstaller. Don't know if it's fixable

Why not just leave it as a .py file?

[slate swan]

because i dont want people stealing my product

[sick birch]

Converting to an .exe isn't going to stop that

[slate swan]

how can i then?

[sick birch]

You can't

Unless you put your application server-side and only have a frontend user interface. Even then it's possible

[slate swan]

is there anyway?

[sick birch]

No

[slate swan]

obfuscate?

[sick birch]

Nope

[reef trail]

uh yeah he can

[sick birch]

No. There is no way to make something 100% hidden once you've distributed a file to a user.

It's only a matter of time and determination

[reef trail]

thats why you use actual good obfuscating methods

[sick birch]

Doesn't matter. Still reversible.
Better yet, make your software open source! Distribute the Python file

[reef trail]

theres pros and cons to open source

[sick birch]

Only when you're making something malicious

Or you're a corporate company

[reef trail]

no need to say the same thing twice

[slate swan]

i don't see the point of encrypting a single python file

[pliant gulch]

I wouldn't even bother, slap a license on it and it's done. Bc other companies need to follow the laws as well as you, so add a copyright, etc. If they steal it, sue for damages

[sick birch]

[void flax]

if they hack the server?

[slate swan]

what if the world collapss , there's no end to what ifs

[night crater]

Unless your Adobe, people are not going to care about your random python app and steal it

[edgy thorn]

question

how do you get a discord bot to just simply send a message to a specific channel without waiting on any sort of discord event

[slate swan]

with commands you can define a channel and make it send to there

on phone so can't send code soz

[sick birch]

When do you want it to send?

[edgy thorn]

when a variable produced by the internal python script is produced

basically just on command

just a one way message to discord

[sick birch]

Should be easy to just do it inside the command then

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx: commands.Context, ...) -> None:
  ... # do whatever

  channel = bot.get_channel(123) # your ID here
  await channel.send("Hello, world!")

[edgy thorn]

ok I'll give that a try ty!

[tranquil badge]

    @commands.hybrid_command(name='img', description='High quality images of the ships.')
    async def img(self, ctx: commands.Context, ship: str):
        rank_list = [i[0] for i in sql_rank_obj()]
        res = [i for i in rank_list if i.lower() in ship.lower()]
        s_obj = sql_ship_obj()
        if len(res) == 0:
            s_obj = ShipData(ship).s_obj
            ship_embed_title = f"{customemoji(ctx, s_obj['rarity'])} {s_obj['name']}"
            col = int(s_obj['colour'], 16)
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title=ship_embed_title,
                colour=col)
         embed.set_image(url=get_ship_image(s_obj['number']))
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

"TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str"

pretty much anything that is s_obj['blah']

gives me that type error

It works with my currently running bot but the hybrid command conversion seems to have broken it

[sick birch]

s_obj seems to be a list

[tranquil badge]

yea

[sick birch]

So you'll have to access it by index

E.g s_obj[0] to get the first item

[tranquil badge]

let me check through my sql queries

so would i add the [0] to every instance basically?

oh adding it worked

but

it returned everything for the first item in the list

[tranquil badge]

@sick birch how would i go about doing s_obj[<row of item>]? Like grab the row it came from

[sick birch]

Just like that

s_obj[0] would get everything in the first row

s_obj[1] would get everything in the second row

etc

[tranquil badge]

i need it to be a variable essentially

the input of the user determines what row

[sick birch]

Say row was the user input, you could do something like s_obj[row]

[tranquil badge]

yea

just unsure how to define

[sick birch]

You could get it from a command:

@bot.command()
async def get_row(ctx: commands.Context, row: int) -> None:
  # use row here

[sick thicket]

If I'm using pycord, how can I add descriptions to subcommands? There's no mention of it in the docs and there's no description parameter to that decorator
https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands

[hushed galleon]

i would assume giving it a docstring would automatically set the description, since that's been a common convention with regular commands from discord.py, and also their example shows it
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_groups.py#L17-L20

[unkempt canyon]

examples/app_commands/slash_groups.py lines 17 to 20

@math.command()  # Create a slash command under the math group
async def add(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, num1: int, num2: int):
    """Get the sum of 2 integers."""
    await ctx.respond(f"The sum of these numbers is **{num1+num2}**")```

[sick thicket]

ah

[hushed galleon]

it also appears from their source code that all the same slash command parameters, including description, should be supported

but its quite concerning that their documentation completely omits the SlashCommandGroup.command() decorator

[sick birch]

Well Pycord isn't really known for being good at anything really

[slate swan]

@sick birch best way to check for a certain permission without doing it with a decorator?

[sick birch]

Why not decorator?

[slate swan]

It's kinda a long explanation

there surely has to be a way no?

[torn sail]

You can use the guild_permissions attribute on a member or use channel.permissions_for(member) these return a discord.Permissions object

[slate swan]

can you provide some psuuedocode?

[trim shadow]

hello, how can has param like that?

[torn sail]

if member.guild_permissions.ban_members: …

[slate swan]

and just pass a member object

[slate swan]

@sick birch How can I implement a guild set prefix thing?

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_prefix

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

Retrieves the prefix the bot is listening to with the message as a context.

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

[sick birch]

As this is run on every message I would recommend you use some sort of caching system

[slate swan]

what if I want something like prefix, but just some type of bool statement per guild?

[sick birch]

I'm not understanding, could you give an example?

[slate swan]

say I wanted a command to not be useable in a certain channel of a server

[sick birch]

You'd just create a check for that

return True/False depending on if that command should be run

[slate swan]

it could be different for each guild though

[sick birch]

Same concept. Just use a database

[slate swan]

tbh

im too lazy to do it ima just say its whatever

[orchid ledge]

how do I add choices to slash pycord? cant find anything and tried different ways

[shrewd apex]

choices for?

[orchid ledge]

example :
I do /hello then I get like a field I need to click on then I type in it

[shrewd apex]

just add a parameter typehint it str

[fierce light]

anyone know how to change the default help command for discord.py interactions??

[upbeat gust]

there isnt one??

[loud junco]

wdym i dont quite understand

[naive briar]

You return value before closing the connection

🤷

[loud junco]

i shouldnt do that?

i need to return after closing it?

[naive briar]

The rest of the function wouldn't be executed after you returned a value. So, in your case, the connection wouldn't be closed

[loud junco]

oo

so return after close right?

[naive briar]

Eh, yeah

[shrewd apex]

just var[0] is enough

[naive briar]

You should consider keeping the connection in your bot instance so you don't have to keep connecting to it every time you need to do something with the database. Like Asher said

[shrewd apex]

imagine connecting to db and closing everytime so inefficient 💀

[loud junco]

but how

add bot= blahblah on top?

[shrewd apex]

bruh literally just do in setup_hook bot.db = connect()

and u can use bot.db anywhere now

[loud junco]

import asyncpg
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="...", intents=discord.Intents.default())

@bot.event
async def setup_hook() -> None:
    # this override's Bot.setup_hook and is triggered before the bot starts.

    # creating a database pool
    bot.db_pool: asyncpg.Pool = await asyncpg.create_pool("PGSQL SERVER URL HERE.")

    # example to making a query to the database anywhere in your code ->
    async with bot.db_pool.acquire() as connection:
        await connection.execute(
            """SQL QUERY HERE"""
        )
        # creating a connection cursor if needed
        async with connection.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.fetch("FETCH QUERY...")
```this thing?

[shrewd apex]

yeah but aquire thingy is not needed

[loud junco]

@bot.event
async def setup_hook() -> None:
    bot.db_pool: asyncpg.Pool = await asyncpg.create_pool("PGSQL SERVER URL HERE.")
```this is fine?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[loud junco]

how do i use it tho

[shrewd apex]

u can use bot.db_pool everywhere

in cogs it will be self.bot.db_pool

[loud junco]

but how do i use it to fetch stuff

[cloud dawn]

No, I recommend checking out the docs.

Create a connection pool.

Can be used either with an async with block:

async with asyncpg.create_pool(user='postgres',
                               command_timeout=60) as pool:
    await pool.fetch('SELECT 1')

Or to perform multiple operations on a single connection:

async with asyncpg.create_pool(user='postgres',
                               command_timeout=60) as pool:
    async with pool.acquire() as con:
        await con.execute('''
           CREATE TABLE names (
              id serial PRIMARY KEY,
              name VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL)
        ''')
        await con.fetch('SELECT 1')

Or directly with await (not recommended):

pool = await asyncpg.create_pool(user='postgres', command_timeout=60)
con = await pool.acquire()
try:
    await con.fetch('SELECT 1')
finally:
    await pool.release(con)

[loud junco]

i read this before

they say its not efficient

[cloud dawn]

Who's saying that?

Connection pool can be used to manage a set of connections to the database. Connections are first acquired from the pool, then used, and then released back to the pool. Once a connection is released, it’s reset to close all open cursors and other resources except prepared statements.

[shrewd apex]

bruh discord bot if u create a pool and close for every action with db then it's gonna be significant lags moving on

better to make a persistent pool and use that throughout the bot

[cloud dawn]

You're supposed to create a pool for a specific thread not create a pool for your whole process.

[shrewd apex]

yeah so the bot runs on a single event loop no?

async def setup_hook():
    bot.db = await asyncpg.create_pool()

async def foo(bot):
    await bot.db.fetch()

[loud junco]

so what should i follow 💀

[shrewd apex]

i dont see a problem with using a async context manager but i would go with the second one

[loud junco]

i just put query in the () of await bot.db.fetch()?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[cloud dawn]

More isn't always better, most people aren't handling the connections. Pool isn't a magic class that just allows multiple connections.

[shrewd apex]

no its using a single pool to execute and no connection is left open after usage if u use properly

[cloud dawn]

If you make a pool which in this Discord bots case you should, should still be acquired and release the connection back to the pool.

[cloud dawn]

[shrewd apex]

the context manager is just a fall back safety measure to automatically code the cursor/connection

[shrewd apex]

yeah that can be done to u could make seperate functions for that but personally i have worked without it and haven't faced a issue yet

[cloud dawn]

Well I strongly disagree how you handle that connection. Postgre is amazing but you should handle it properly.

[loud junco]

i dont think its bot.db cuz db is not defined

[naive briar]

You didn't define it 🤷

[placid skiff]

lmao why do people keep defing the db connection in their bot instance

[cloud dawn]

If set up in the setup hook I think it's a pretty valid place if disconnects and errors are handled properly.

[shrewd apex]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72469472/asyncpg-pool-execute-vs-connection-execute

only valid argument i found till now yet

[shrewd apex]

well yeah it also works if its done along with starting the bot with a context manager along with the db

[loud junco]

i dont even know which to follow 💀

[loud junco]

how do i even define it 💀

[fierce light]

damn alr thanks!

[upbeat gust]

[loud junco]

how do i fix this

[slate swan]

bro what are you doing

Why are you linking discord py to your db 😭

[loud junco]

they tell me to keep the connection in my bot instance so i don't have to keep connecting to it every time i need to do something with the database.

[upbeat gust]

Well did you set bot.db?

[loud junco]

set?

wait its bot.db_pool 💀

;-;

[shrewd apex]

var[0]

[loud junco]

oo

keep forgetting that var is a list ;-;

[loud junco]

this is all it does 💀

[shrewd apex]

can u show me the db and whats arg here?

[loud junco]

.

[shrewd apex]

hmm

[loud junco]

:/

i have no idea what is happening

this is the channel id 1038754543682469936

[shrewd apex]

well since u only need one row for starters use only fetchrow that way u wont get it in a list

and can u actually just do dict(var[0]) for me once

[loud junco]

huh

[shrewd apex]

just do once

[loud junco]

await ctx.send(dict(var[0]))?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[shrewd apex]

can u hardcode it once and check first time i am encountering such a situation as well

[naive briar]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-seriously-cat-cat-really-cat-really-look-cat-look-gif-22182662

[shrewd apex]

just use this SELECT * FROM match WHERE matchid = 'channelid'

[loud junco]

ok

but its integer

it will become string 💀

[shrewd apex]

yeah the ' was only for demo

[loud junco]

ik

[shrewd apex]

u put it without '

[loud junco]

this is what i did

it will be integer?

[shrewd apex]

replace $1 with *

arg is not needed

i think that $1 is causing the problems

[loud junco]

ok

[shrewd apex]

also just print var

dont do ctx.send just for debugging

[loud junco]

.

lemme print var

[shrewd apex]

yep $1 is the problem

u cant use place holder there

[loud junco]

lmao

then how 💀

[shrewd apex]

now u can either hardcode this or
(f"SELECT {arg} FROM match WHERE matchid = $1", id)
but idk how valid/robust this is or if its allowed in general

u can test it ig

[loud junco]

💀

ok

[shrewd apex]

tell me if it works tho

[loud junco]

but its not outtputing the value

its outputting the whole continent 💀

larger than russia

oo because im using SELECT *

[shrewd apex]

bro y str

(f"SELECT {arg} FROM match WHERE matchid = $1", ctx.channel.id)

@loud junco

also even if u are doing str y like that 💀put it in the {}

[placid skiff]

don't use f strings for queries

[loud junco]

so what should i do

[shrewd apex]

ik

[shrewd apex]

.

hardcode it

[loud junco]

but how ;-;

[loud junco]

how do i make channel id a condition

[placid skiff]

wdym?

[loud junco]

WHERE matchid = ctx.channel.id

but i cant use f-strings

[placid skiff]

db query take a tuple as parameter

db.execute("SELECT var1 from table1 where key=?", (value))

[loud junco]

okok thanks

[vale wing]

Depends on lib, asyncpg just *args

Not the tuple

[shrewd apex]

well technically thats not a tuple just redundant parantheses

code and words don't match

[vale wing]

*args is argument list, you don't parse arguments to it as tuple but it is a tuple after parsed

[shrewd apex]

ik i was talking about (value)

[vale wing]

Ah yes

[shrewd apex]

bruh don't just copy paste

in asyncpg its $ for placeholder so $1

@loud junco

[loud junco]

$1, $2 and so on?

[shrewd apex]

duh

[loud junco]

how do i make it output False

[shrewd apex]

i would use dataclasses for more refinement but u can use dict(var[0])["matchstarted"]

[loud junco]

what is dataclasses

[shrewd apex]

https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/api/index.html#asyncpg.Record

[shrewd apex]

google it

u can do var[0]["matchstarted"] as it is

[loud junco]

ok thanksssssssssss

[loud junco]

if i change the fetch keyword to execute then i can use INSERT right?

[shrewd apex]

yes

[loud junco]

ok thanks

[loud junco]

if i have a few place holder

$1 $2 $3?

[orchid ledge]

anyone has an example to a command with options like that:
/hello [123] [456] ...
and the Bot responds (sends) an embed like that:

Hello!
.... : [123]
.... : [456]

[slate swan]

What do you mean by 123?

[orchid ledge]

its just an example

[slate swan]

A little more details will help

[orchid ledge]

for choice / option and im bad in explaining in chat

[slate swan]

Ok like

[orchid ledge]

where are u from?

[slate swan]

When you do /hello there some option will pop bup with 123 456

[slate swan]

And u choose one of them ig?

[slate swan]

💀

[orchid ledge]

no where u can type in whatever u want

[slate swan]

Oh yeah

Do u know how to create slash command?

If no i can help from start

[orchid ledge]

yeah haha, I had that already in the past but I cant remember... I still know the basics but not shi like that

[slate swan]

As example:

@bot.tree.command(name="hello")
async def hi(interaction: discord.Interaction, msg: str):
  embed=discord.Embed(title="Hey", description={msg})
  await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

@orchid ledge

[shrewd apex]

just create an extra Param other than interaction type hint it str

yep like that

[shrewd apex]

f"{msg}"

u put it in a set

[slate swan]

Ye forgot about that

Typing on mobile just hard

Ngl

[shrewd apex]

mhm

[orchid ledge]

I don’t use tree I use pycord xd

[slate swan]

That @slash.slash maybe

[slate swan]

bot.slash_command

you're running main.py from a path that doesn't point to it directly

[slate swan]

wdym?

[slate swan]

make file called __init__.py in the folder

[slate swan]

i did it

Hmmm weird

[slate swan]

you are running main.py
python .../main.py
thar doesn't point to main.py directly
i.e., its not python main.py

O I didn't know he did that

which causes change in package levels

yooo i know what did i do wrong

i was running embed.py instead of main.py 🤦‍♂️

[slate swan]

💀

Thank you for help guys

Is this your bot?

Damm verified congrats

Hmm personally I don't use sql so can't help sorry

Im a mongo db user 💪

[placid skiff]

print result in the console and let's see if it has some values

also you should not use f-strings for queries

They're not safe, db methods takes a tuple for variable values:

db.execute("SELECT var1 FROM table1 WHERE key1=? AND key2=?", (value1, value2))

[coral mirage]

can some one help me please?

I'm trying to add help command to my menu command. This is a select option so when ever a user clicks help the help command response. How it's possible?

[slate swan]

Can you show the full code

[coral mirage]

sure

[slate swan]

Ye, also using class it's way more easy

[coral mirage]

I'm having problems to paste for some reason

[placid skiff]

probably you're returning an embed but you're not sending it in the send method

[coral mirage]

give me a momemt

[placid skiff]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.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**.

[placid skiff]

embed is a keyword parameter

you're passing content in your send method

[coral mirage]

I'm trying my select menu to respond help command.

[slate swan]

This thing kinda weird

[coral mirage]

lol I'm new

This is my first project in python

[slate swan]

Can you tell what actually you want it to do?

[coral mirage]

I didn't use classes cause I'm still learning.

[coral mirage]

Yes, so basically I just want my select menu to respond when user clicks help example

[slate swan]

Oh ok

there is one more params in select option is value

U can set the value as 1, 2, 3

Is it possible to add animated emoji's in a message my bot sends via a link>?

[slate swan]

A bot can use animated emojis already no need to use link

[coral mirage]

yeah its depending where you get the emojis

[gloomy cloak]

hi

if pinging me annoys you i can leave the server?

[slate swan]

Then u can check if value is 1:
Then send a embed or if value is 2 the. Send another thing

it will be select.values

Giving you quick examples

[coral mirage]

dang, I need to head to work I'm a little late. Spooky thanks a lot. I will check on it at night. I work today 😦

all daaaayyyy 😢

[slate swan]

discord.SelectOption(label="Miscs",
                           value="4",

      discord.SelectOption(label="End Interaction",
                           value="5",

    ])
  async def slct3(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select):

    if select.values[0] == "1":
       #send different embed

@coral mirage

[coral mirage]

This is what I want to pop up when user click help. To jump to another command.

[coral mirage]

I'll save it and loot at it thanks mate!

[slate swan]

U r welcome :]
It may look different as because i used classes but works the same

[shrewd apex]

huh

oh @slash

[maiden fable]

lol

[gloomy cloak]

yeah

i don't mind it but i get it can be annoying for some people

and \ doesn't even prevent the ping lol

[slate swan]

@\Slash

welp the mentions can be ghosted when using a bot but not a normal client

[slate swan]

It does

Xd sorry tho

@gloomy cloak

[gloomy cloak]

@Spooky.exe

[slate swan]

O nvm

[gloomy cloak]

@Spooky.exe#0001

weird

[slate swan]

Yep

[gloomy cloak]

no no np i literally don't mind

[placid skiff]

Yo hunter

[maiden fable]

hi

[jolly rapids]

Can someone tell me how to send an embed with d.py? I tried .send(embed=embed) which results in discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message

[maiden fable]

show the embed variable

[jolly rapids]

i also saw on stackoverflow that it was changed to .send({embeds: [embed]}) but that results in NameError: name 'embeds' is not defined

[jolly rapids]

wdym?

how's a cat gif supposed to help xD

[naive briar]

Stackoverflow isn't always the answer

[jolly rapids]

i printed the values so i can make sure they're not empty

[jolly rapids]

true

[maiden fable]

You can simply do

embed = discord.Embed(title=..., description=...)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

And yea, please don't search stack for dpy questions
Most of them are old since v2 was released only a few months back

[jolly rapids]

https://i.imgur.com/vKefDNX.png

this is the full embed code

[slate swan]

thats discord,js, atleast learn what library you're using

[maiden fable]

calm down sarth

[jolly rapids]

ah yes, sorry haha didn't check the tags ^~^

does the message need to have content besides the embed?

[maiden fable]

nah

[slate swan]

not really

[jolly rapids]

hmmm. then idk what it complains about

because when i send the embed alongside a "." i get the dot in discord but no embed

[maiden fable]

What is the module version?

[jolly rapids]

with a embed generator like https://cog-creators.github.io/discord-embed-sandbox/ i can send static embeds just fine to that channel

[jolly rapids]

2.1.0

[maiden fable]

hm

[lime lance]

[jolly rapids]

then idk anymore

[maiden fable]

Can you print item?

[jolly rapids]

sure 1 sec

well, not really ```
[Discord] '==='

[Discord] '==='

[maiden fable]

hm

hella weird

[slate swan]

!d sorted sort the dictionary on basis of values and iterate over them

[unkempt canyon]

sorted

sorted(iterable, /, *, key=None, reverse=False)```
Return a new sorted list from the items in *iterable*.

Has two optional arguments which must be specified as keyword arguments.

*key* specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each element in *iterable* (for example, `key=str.lower`). The default value is `None` (compare the elements directly).

*reverse* is a boolean value. If set to `True`, then the list elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed.

Use [`functools.cmp_to_key()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.cmp_to_key "functools.cmp_to_key") to convert an old-style *cmp* function to a *key* function.

[jolly rapids]

even pprint only prints the definition

[naive briar]

What error did you get exactly

[jolly rapids]

^

[maiden fable]

okay so weird request but can ya try commenting out the self.log line?

[jolly rapids]

sure

[slate swan]

any chance that you are selfbotting? asking cuz embeds are not sendable by normal users

but discord.py doesnt allow that anymore so that should not be the case

[jolly rapids]

not this time ^^ Bluscream#8895 is a bot acc

[slate swan]

ah alright, that might have been the issue if you were

[maiden fable]

any changes?

Wait BTW @jolly rapids is this a class method?

[shrewd apex]

whats self here?

[maiden fable]

that's what I also wanted to ask
that's why asking if its a class method

Also, r u subclassing commands.Bot or smth?

[shrewd apex]

and whats self.log ? post the whole error if u can please

[shadow vigil]

i saw someone made a discord bot in a server but it's a user account that's breaking the tos right?

[maiden fable]

mhm

[slate swan]

those method look valid there, atleast as per vscode theme syntax highlighting
missing attributes are highlighted white instead of yellow

[slate swan]

automating your account in any way is against ToS

[maiden fable]

they do but the issue is with those methods is what I think is the root cause
Since everything else seems to be in place

[slate swan]

yeah

[shadow vigil]

got the answer that i wanted thx

the admins in the server are not doing anything even tho they know its a bot

[slate swan]

skill issue

[maiden fable]

-> Leave the server
-> Report the server
-> Sit back and enjoy

[shadow vigil]

thx

[maiden fable]

or should I say, report the specific user and the server (for not taking actions)

Totally not a devil thought

[slate swan]

i'd rather spam their bot and make it ratelimited

only if it interacts ofc

[maiden fable]

Lmao

I remember a person getting banned in dpy server for self botting cz he forgot to make it so that only he can run the commands.
Some helper ran !help and his ID sent the help embed 🤣

[shrewd apex]

pfft

imagine reaction of the guy who sent !help

[slate swan]

how much of a boomer do you have to be to use ! prefix for yourself

[maiden fable]

I suspect if he was online at that time
Lmao he prolly left the PC on/user a VPS and came back only to find a server missing and a DM from R. Danny

[slate swan]

can anyone help me with how sharding works ?

[maiden fable]

To shard your bot:

bot = commands.AutoShardedBot(
    command_prefix="?",
    description="An AutoShardedBot.")

What is it?
Sharding is a nice way to split your bot to smaller, more manageable parts. It is recommended to only use this feature with big bots (1000 guilds or more).
Note that you are required to use this when your bot reaches 2000+ guilds.

docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot

Tbh you can simply think of it as a commands.Bot alternative for big bots. No need to handle the underlying IPC since dpy does that for u

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    channel = discord.utils.get(member.guild.channels, name="👋┇welcome-wagon")
    await channel.send(
        f"{member.mention} has arrived! \nWelcome to Supernova! \n<https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1021425058054410280.gif?size=44&quality=lossless> Check [#888401895973089280](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/888401895973089280/) \nNavigate the server  [#1021842239749619732](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/1021842239749619732/) \nJoin our games [#888403619119001651](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/888403619119001651/) \nGrab ping roles [#1021908586852515971](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/1021908586852515971/) "
    )

[maiden fable]

Lemme guess
The event doesn't get triggered

[slate swan]

i hate discord.utils.get

[maiden fable]

Bad typings 😭

[slate swan]

nah but its a more specific use case

and i might not even need it

[maiden fable]

Wym

[slate swan]

how can I make it so the url shows the animation instead of just the url

cos basically i want 2 scripts to run a single bot

on different pc's
then i need to do like
/command [specific pc running the program]

[maiden fable]

Ah

[slate swan]

but it only works on the person who most recently ran the script

[maiden fable]

Well you gotta implement that logic yourself
AutoShardedBot is different from your usecase, yes

[slate swan]

i saw a stack overflow post telling me that that was it lol

[maiden fable]

Nah

[hollow bridge]

instead of the url use <:emoji_name:emoji_id> ,

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69796271/simultaneously-running-separate-programs-using-the-same-token

i mean idk what this is abt then

[maiden fable]

remove the <> from around the gif link

[slate swan]

But they are animated emojis.

Does it have an efffect?

[hollow bridge]

yeah thats fine bots should be able to send them

[maiden fable]

Is the code base of the two instances same or different?

[slate swan]

the code is exactly the same

[slate swan]

My friend sent me a message with multiple emojis. How to I add them?

[maiden fable]

May I ask why would u need to run two instances of the same bot?

[slate swan]

wanna try make a bot that gets like sys info from all my friends

like to show stats and stuff

i've been identifying each user like this tho which could be it ?

[maiden fable]

Hm
Well you can kinda do that, but you won't have control as to which bot will receive the command and which will not

You can either add a command arg to show the stats of friend1's pc and use if statements to control the response but I don't see any other way for this

[slate swan]

make a webserver and make your friends run a websocket client instead of the bot
when asked for stats that client can send the stats to the server

[maiden fable]

so like discord-ext-ipc right?

[slate swan]

i dont wanna flood the channel

kind of

[slate swan]

i mean i've been using this to get each users different "id"

class BOT(commands.InteractionBot):
    def __init__(self, **options):
        super().__init__(**options)
        self.ip_addr = IP()
        self.identifier = os.getenv("username") 

bot = BOT(status=disnake.Status.do_not_disturb, activity=disnake.Activity(type=disnake.ActivityType.watching, name=""))

@bot.slash_command()
async def listusers(ctx):
    await ctx.channel.send( 
        embed=disnake.Embed(title=f"The identifier for {os.getenv('username')}:", description=bot.identifier) 
    )
    await ctx.response.send_message("Checked all available users:\n_ _")```#

[maiden fable]

hm

[slate swan]

and to execute commands u need the arg of the user

[maiden fable]

mhm

so uhhh what seems to be the issue then?

If you got the whole code written

[slate swan]

well the same as before

it only runs if you specify the id of the script that last ran it

@bot.slash_command(description="Gets the system information.")
async def sysinfo(ctx, user):
    if user == bot.identifier:

        cpu, ram, disk, ramusage, gputemp= getsysinfo()
        #embed
        embed = disnake.Embed(title="System Information", description="user's system information", color=0x00ff00)
        embed.add_field(name="CPU", value=cpu, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="RAM", value=ram, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Disk", value=disk, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="RAM Usage", value=ramusage, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="GPU Temperature", value=gputemp, inline=True)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await ctx.send("user not found.", ephemeral=True)```

this is an example command

[maiden fable]

Mhm

[slate swan]

but say me and my friend both run it, and my friend was the latest person to run it, it only registers if i do his identifier

and if i do mine it says user not found

[maiden fable]

That's.... weird

can u print what is bot.identifier?

[slate swan]

the pc name

[slate swan]

if thats what u want

[maiden fable]

Hm

Tell me something.......

Why are you using kinda complex logic?
Why not just check in each command invocation if user is the same as the PC's name and if it is, then send else do nothing

[slate swan]

as in the user that sent the command ?

[maiden fable]

like here

you are specifying the user arg

[slate swan]

yea

[maiden fable]

Why not do something like

if user == getenv("username"):
    # send the message

[slate swan]

oh lol

cos if i want to look at my friends stats

[maiden fable]

and don't add that else clause because in case one bot falls back to the else clause but the other doesn't (the if statement is true), then it will send a double response

Are you running the other instance on yr friend's machine?

[slate swan]

yea

like imagine this

[maiden fable]

I understand ya now

[slate swan]

me and my friend are running the program and i wanna check his stats

i'll need to specify his pc instead of mine

[maiden fable]

If u r invoking the command with the user being the same as his PC's name, then u should use the if statement I sent above.

Basically move the if statement from the bot's init to the command (the condition, not the identifier thingy)

[slate swan]

but then that would break this command

[maiden fable]

Which one?

[slate swan]

^^ list users

[maiden fable]

Well if that is your concern then don't move the if statement from the init but implement the if logic for the sysinfo command

[slate swan]

but would that fix the problem of the bot only listening for the most recent user ?

[maiden fable]

It should

You can ping me in case you need implementing this thing

[slate swan]

i mean could u try ?

[maiden fable]

What?

[slate swan]

my fix aint working

[maiden fable]

Hm lemme get the code

@bot.slash_command(description="Gets the system information.")
async def sysinfo(ctx, user):
    if user == os.getenv("username"):

        cpu, ram, disk, ramusage, gputemp= getsysinfo()
        #embed
        embed = disnake.Embed(title="System Information", description="user's system information", color=0x00ff00)
        embed.add_field(name="CPU", value=cpu, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="RAM", value=ram, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Disk", value=disk, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="RAM Usage", value=ramusage, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="GPU Temperature", value=gputemp, inline=True)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

Something as easy as this lol

[slate swan]

that doesnt work

tried that

[maiden fable]

What in the

[slate swan]

its to do w discorrd

and running the bot

[maiden fable]

How r u invoking the command?

[slate swan]

i think

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

the reason it only works for 1 person

[maiden fable]

No like what are the arguments u r passing

[slate swan]

for what

async def sysinfo(ctx, user):

this ?

[maiden fable]

No no

like /sysinfo <what-here>

[slate swan]

oh

/sysinfo [bot.identifier]

[maiden fable]

what? Are you literally typing [bot.identifier]?

[slate swan]

no lol

but like the pc users name

like if my windows pc account was called 'slikc'

i'd do /sysinfo slikc

[maiden fable]

and is the value the same as what is returned by getenv("username")?

[slate swan]

yea

[maiden fable]

That's hella weird. Should have worked

Tbh the only thing left is using a websocket

Create a websocket and use that to request data based on the username. You will have to run the bot only on one pc and run a websocket on another

[slate swan]

oh

i mean i guess that would work

[maiden fable]

I don't see any other way out of something like this

[slate swan]

but like i'm certain there must be a way to use it using discord.py itself

[maiden fable]

Nope, the library doesn't provide anything like this

[slate swan]

like theres no way theres 0 workaround for 2 people running one bot ?

[maiden fable]

No

[slate swan]

usually there is for that kinda thing

[maiden fable]

The closest was AutoShardedBot but that doesn't reallu suit your use case, does it?

[slate swan]

i mean how does sharding fully work

i dont quite understand it

[maiden fable]

Well we can try replacing commands.Bot with commands.AutoShardedBot and see if it fixes the issue

So how sharding works is:
Suppose your bot is too big... then the bot is split across various systems/machines that is you can run the same codebase on various machines and the bot will work like normal

[slate swan]

oh

isnt that like exactly what i need

[maiden fable]

But that won't work for one server bots

[slate swan]

oh

why not ?

[maiden fable]

It works for bots in 1000 or smth more servers

Because dpy creates "groups" of servers
Like, the events by Group 1 will be received by Shard1, the events from Group 2 will be received by Shard2 and so on

[slate swan]

oh

[maiden fable]

This is also one of the reasons why some big bots like Dyno are sometimes shown offline in some servers but online in others

[silent portal]

When I pass in datetimes in a loop.task, does it run 1x on that datetime?

[fading marlin]

yes

[slate swan]

okay i might have fixed it @maiden fable

but i'm now getting a different error

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[slate swan]

when the bot takes more than 3 seconds to execute the command, it doesn't reply

[maiden fable]

Yup that is a slash command issue

[slate swan]

and gives this error disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: InteractionTimedOut: Interaction took more than 3 seconds to be responded to. Please defer it using "interaction.response.defer" on the start of your command. Later you may send a response by editing the deferred message using "interaction.edit_original_response" Note: This might also be caused by a misconfiguration in the components make sure you do not respond twice in case this is a component.

[slate swan]

oh fine i can just do regular commands then ig

[maiden fable]

use interaction.response.defer() and then edit using interaction.edit_original_response(...) or send using interaction.followup.send(...)

[slate swan]

oh okay

[brittle ocean]

@bot.event
async def on_message(self, message=str):
    # if message.author == self.user:
    #     return
    # else:
    bannedmsgs = None
    bannedmsgs = (bad_words.values() for x in bad_words.values())

    await print("you said a bad word")


asyncio.run(on_message(self=database_functions.user_id, message="test"))

with bad_words being:

bad_words = {
  "verybad": ["test", "test2"]
}

which outputs:

TypeError; Object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

please help? I dunno what i did wrong

it does print "you said a bad word" though

[sick birch]

Either your hardware doesn't support virtualization or it needs to be enabled in BIOS like the error says

[sick birch]

It's just print("you said a bad word")

You don't await print statements

[brittle ocean]

oh ok thx

[dry kelp]

done

[slate swan]

how do i make buttons not spammable

is it self.stop in my class?

@sick birch

[sick birch]

Yes

[slate swan]

[2022-11-23 16:07:43] [INFO ] discord.gateway: Shard ID None sessio n has been invalidated.

started getting this message after upgrading my discord.py version

anyone know how to fix?

[merry sail]

is it interrupting your bot execution?

[coral mirage]

That HTML

[slate swan]

Does that each person can click it once only

[sick birch]

No you'll have to use interaction_check for that

[slate swan]

How so

[sick birch]

And some sort of way to store state on who's clicked and who hasn't

[dry kelp]

i've managed to do that docker

I made everything run with 1 command. Bot, web, db

[sick birch]

Yeah that's pretty common, we do it with most of our bots

[dry kelp]

which is really nice. No need to create the virtual env manually it will do that

and also migrating the db is automatically

[sick birch]

yup

[dry kelp]

so i truly prefer docker than pm2

Beside this i got 1 question

for some reasons when i run the bot web api on the vps if it's not me running it that will return a internal server error

so i suppose something has to do with localhost

@sick birch

[sick birch]

Check the server logs for errors

[dry kelp]

1 sec

i left it turned on lol

Yeh but if i run it it will work

oh nvm it erroed me

If i give u the OAuth2 link could u test it? I think it's because there's already a value inside of the db and it will just override

@app.get("/api/v1/auth")
async def auth(code: str):
    global AUTH_REQUESTS
    AUTH_REQUESTS += 1

    async with await exchange_code(code) as oauth_response:
        if oauth_response.status != 200:
            logger.error(f"A Error has happend: {await oauth_response.text()}")
            raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Bad request")

        json = await oauth_response.json()
        me = await fetch_me(json["access_token"])
        userResponseJson = await me.json()

        oauthUser = OAuth2User(
            id=int(userResponseJson["user"]["id"]),
            token=json["access_token"],
            expires_in=json["expires_in"],
        )
        await oauthUser.update_or_create()
        await oauthUser.save()
        return {"status": "OK", "user": userResponseJson["user"]}


register_tortoise(
    app, config=TORTOISE_ORM, generate_schemas=True, add_exception_handlers=True
)

multiple objs returned yes

[sick birch]

Looks like you already got it

Further questions should be directed towards #web-development

[dry kelp]

yep

where can i ask something for normal python, not related to discord ?

ow

thank you

[ionic garden]

so what's the convention for dbs in discord bots
i'm thinking of having a global module w/ the db cursor and stuff
and have the cogs, etc. all interact w/ that module

[sick birch]

You're already there!

[ionic garden]

ok cool

[sick birch]

Create a file with all of your database models and functions

[pliant gulch]

Not sure if I'm quite the fan of making it a global module

It should at the very least be bounded to the bot instance

Make sure it's concurrent as well

[ionic garden]

concurrent?

[ionic garden]

why this?

[pliant gulch]

Yea making it asynchronous since database operations should be I/O

[pliant gulch]

You want only the bot to know what's in the database & when to use it

[ionic garden]

how would the cogs access it then?

[pliant gulch]

If it's bound to the bot it'll be available through the bot. And every cog instance is given the bot instance

So that would be un-effected

[ionic garden]

ok that's good

[woven flint]

i need help
this is my file structure: bot.py colors.py economy,py tools/ fun.py mod.py
in mod.py, i have the following line from ..colors import palette. i am making a discord bot so i actually kind of use this file by running bot.py but whenever i do, it gives me this error: ImportError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package

[sick birch]

Please don't crosspost

This question has already been answered in #python-discussion

[sick birch]

You were told not to impersonate a self bot by a staff member.

[simple niche]

Sorry

[slate swan]

Can you show what colors.py contents

[shrewd apex]

add a init.py in tools

__init__.py

[sick birch]

They were helped already - this is why we don't crosspost

[shrewd apex]

ah

[woven flint]

sry

[severe mural]

problem error

look code

for interaction.

[slate swan]

whats the prob

[slate swan]

also u put * here it's totally useless

[slate swan]

1. the command name you use in the code is suggestion (not suggest)
2. stop implementing normal command logic in application commands ( in the except )
   interaction.response.send_message returns None, not a Message

[slate swan]

yep

[maiden fable]

Nice

[vale wing]

Smh requests in async app, use aiohttp

To get you quickstarted

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    r = await session.get(url)

[slate swan]

you can't edit a interaction message.

you need to get the mssage from channel history manually and edit it

Hey!

I am trying to make a discord bot using MongoDB (im new dont judge)

Code:
https://hastebin.com/tukugoyapu.py

What im trying to do is:

It searches for a data entry and returns the value

instead of message vars you can use await interaction.edit(...)

[slate swan]

in the firstembed variable

!d nextcord.Interaction.edit is there an edit?

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Interaction.edit

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

This is a shorthand function for helping in editing messages in response to a component or modal submit interaction. If the interaction has not been responded to, [`InteractionResponse.edit_message()`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.InteractionResponse.edit_message "nextcord.InteractionResponse.edit_message") is used. If the response [`is_done()`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.InteractionResponse.is_done "nextcord.InteractionResponse.is_done") then the message is edited via the [`Interaction.message`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Interaction.message "nextcord.Interaction.message") using [`Message.edit()`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Message.edit "nextcord.Message.edit") instead.

[slate swan]

cool

[slate swan]

yep

yeah nextcord added it :p

ye lol

i had to check the docs xd

[slate swan]

you can use await interaction.edit()

in line 420\

[supple thorn]

the raspberry pi zero run a discord bot that doesn't have that much features or users using it right

[slate swan]

What type of features?

[supple thorn]

just some basic stuff like some arithmetic commands and a slap command

[slate swan]

if raspberry pi supports python then you can add these stuffs easilt

easily*

[coral mirage]

anyone awake?

[topaz pumice]

yes

this is the internet

[coral mirage]

I'm back after 12 hour shift

[coral mirage]

You know Python?

[topaz pumice]

yes

[coral mirage]

A lot?

Can you help me out?

[topaz pumice]

ok

[coral mirage]

It's about Discord Bot. That's cool?

[topaz pumice]

ok

[coral mirage]

Great, If I want a user to create a profile in my bot. How I can add the coding? If user tries to create a nation again, how I can send a return that he already has a profile.

[topaz pumice]

create a global list variable, add user, and the info

[coral mirage]

Thanks!

[coral mirage]

One more question.

How I can add in my both time and math like a economical way of math.

[slate swan]

I'd create a database file and search through that file when a player tries to create a profile. If they don't exist in the DB, add them to it and create their profile. If they do exist, respond telling them they already have a profile.

[topaz pumice]

pleae elaborate

[coral mirage]

I ment bot no both

[topaz pumice]

datetime.now?

[coral mirage]

Data Base? hmm That sounds interesting . I will look up to that as well.

Thanks

[coral mirage]

So, basically I want every hour to remove something from a user and/or add something from the user. Like money or points.

[topaz pumice]

make a time.sleep(1000*60*60) on a repeat loop

[coral mirage]

do I have to import anything for the economic and time?

[topaz pumice]

import time, datetime

[coral mirage]

I imported math is that useful?

besides time

[topaz pumice]

yes

[coral mirage]

Great! Thanks mate!

Happy Thanksgiving!

[frail tapir]

ye

[coral mirage]

Hey delliott, do I keep the file under the same folder of my main.py?

[slate swan]

Yes

Also did u fix the problem of your dropdown box?

[coral mirage]

I'm on it. I'm creating a bot game call Global Supreme Leader. As part of my first project.

[slate swan]

Cool

[coral mirage]

Yes, I love Game Development. I heard is one of the hardest career. Yet, I'm still down to explore this area. If it doesn't work. I'll stick with Data Analysis.

[slate swan]

Yep, game development is actually pretty hard

[coral mirage]

why?

what's so bad of being creative and be enable to create whatever comes in your imagination?

[coral mirage]

What career will you recommend?

[slate swan]

Umm.... Ig ask to #career-advice

I am tooo bad at picking things

[polar dawn]

Is it possible to logs in a channel when a person in other server executes a command?

[slate swan]

yes, use bot.get_channel to get the channel and .send to send the message

[slate swan]

Yes

[polar dawn]

ight thx

[polar dawn]

oky

[slate swan]

Also there is an event for it too.

[coral mirage]

Thanks mate!
