thats what i do

how do i put that in?

[viral stump]

            await start_a_tour()
            await message.channel.send(f"{sleep_amount} saniye içerisinde geldim.")
        except:
            await message.channel.send(f"Oda boş olduğundan ya da hedef oda da olmadığından dolayı bot gelmiyor. Hedefler aşşağıda")
            for victim_user_id, percentage in targeted_victims:
                idlist = await bot.fetch_user(victim_user_id)
                chance = (percentage * 100)
                await message.channel.send(f"{idlist.display_name} ve %{chance:.0f}")```

[naive briar]

What

[viral stump]

okay i will write cleaner

[naive briar]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[viral stump]

Right now, output is like

Target#xxxx and chance was %xx
Target2#xxxx and chance was %xy

i want like

Target2#xxxx and chance was %xy```

[naive briar]

Output where

[viral stump]

except one is output

[naive briar]

Also add py after the first triple backticks to highlight the syntax

[naive briar]

Then just put it in the code block 🤷

[viral stump]

its doing like that

wait a sec

[viral stump]

i want one line, not two line

[naive briar]

Join them together

[viral stump]

i didnt get it

what you mean

[naive briar]

I

I hate formatting

!e

ml = []

for a in (0, 1, 2):
    ml.append(f"Int({a})")

print("{}\n{}\n{}".format("'''", "\n".join(ml), "'''"))

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | '''
002 | Int(0)
003 | Int(1)
004 | Int(2)
005 | '''

[naive briar]

Just change the quotes to backticks

!d str.join

[unkempt canyon]

str.join

str.join(iterable)```
Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in *iterable*. A [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") will be raised if there are any non-string values in *iterable*, including [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. The separator between elements is the string providing this method.

[flint bolt]

could someone please help me with #1060137860260438046

[naive briar]

You should use aiosqlite btw

Or just any asynchronous SQLite package

[somber imp]

aiosqlite > asqlite

[viral stump]

py except: await message.channel.send(f"Oda boş olduğundan ya da hedef oda da olmadığından dolayı bot gelmiyor. Hedefler aşşağıda") for victim_user_id, percentage in targeted_victims: idlist = await bot.fetch_user(victim_user_id) list = "" list += (f"{idlist.display_name} ve %{chance:.0f}") chance = (percentage * 100) await message.channel.send(f"3xbacktick{list}3xbacktick")
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'chance' referenced before assignment

3xbacktick = ```

[naive briar]

Put py before the backticks to highlight the syntax so it's more readable

[somber imp]

thats not how you use fstrings

or 3xbacktick is not a variable

[naive briar]

Also you're creating new string for every iteration

This variable won't exist in the first iteration

[somber imp]

and you just put it so your message doest break?

[viral stump]

no, there is no 3xbacktick on code, i wrote it because discord really fucks it up and i dont know how to fix it

[somber imp]

ah ok i thought so

[viral stump]

this is code

[naive briar]

You're still creating new list variable in every iteration

Also don't override built-in functions

[somber imp]

swap the chance = ... and list += ... lines

[somber imp]

name it something like percent_list or smth

[viral stump]

okay, i swapped

and it worked but not exactly

it worked for 1 time, not for loop

it wrote only one loop

[naive briar]

Read

[somber imp]

[viral stump]

oh fuck i didnt see it

output: Dyno ve %50ValoMarket Bot ve %50

okay it works but new line not works

[somber imp]

you didnt put a new line

[viral stump]

because of course i didnt add it

[naive briar]

You're not adding new line

[somber imp]

😂

[viral stump]

okay, i added ...0f}\n") and seems like it works

Thank you guys @somber imp@naive briar

Hi

[slate swan]

whats wrong with Intents ?

[naive briar]

You need to create an instance of it

!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. 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]

still the error

ahh i had intents=Intents

[slate swan]

Lower case i

yes fixed

and do u know why i cant see my /nc command ?

[naive briar]

It's prefix command

[slate swan]

no slash command ?

ah u are right

its a prefix command

but why its not a slash cpmmand.?

im using pycord

hello

which rdp do yall reecommend

[naive briar]

What's rdp

[slate swan]

https://rdp.sh

[slate swan]

remote desktop protocol

[gusty bobcat]

I have a question

[naive briar]

Just ask it

[naive briar]

Because you made it a prefix command

[slate swan]

any cheap ones?

10 a month for projects just not it

[gusty bobcat]

Can I make a bot in Python?

[slate swan]

ofc

i dont see my nc cmd

You didn't register as slash command

what u mean

Are you using pycord

ye

@bot.slash_command(name="nc")

remove @bot.command

[slate swan]

and add this

cant send embed in a slash command ?

@slate swan

Switch line 19 and 20

embed=discord.Embed(...
embed.set_author...

[bright wedge]

avatar.url

new in discord.py v2+

[slate swan]

@option since when is that a decor?

[naive briar]

Pycord

[slate swan]

O that…

how to fix this

[pulsar kettle]

Hello, I'm trying to add a timeout/untimeout feature to my Discord.py bot but I can't figure out how to do it. I've tried looking on YouTube but they either don't work or only work with custom commands prefixes when I need slash commands. Can anyone help out please? (Beginner to coding, so dumb it down for me please <3)

[naive briar]

Read the error, that's the answer

[naive briar]

There's already an built-in timeout slash command

[pulsar kettle]

I know but later down the road I might want to have my bot setup an audit log with the moderation commands so I figured it would help if I made a timeout command within my bot

[slate swan]

Hello

unknown interaction
why is this error showed up ?

[somber imp]

You took more than 3 seconds to respond

Defer the Interaction at the beginning of the callback and send followup instead of response where you want to

[slate swan]

i didn't use a callback

[slate swan]

thanks it worked

[supple ridge]

any idea how can i split this embed so it gives me percentage?

[loud junco]

how do u want it to split

u only wants the percentage?

[supple ridge]

yea

[loud junco]

do it the same way like how u do this embed?

[supple ridge]

huh? its not my embed tho

[loud junco]

oo

try to get the message first

after that do some message filter

[cerulean elbow]

Hi I'm trying to make premium bot commands (for members with the premium role in my server). But its not storing the info in premium_users.json. Using d.py Help needed pls thanks

[cerulean lichen]

nope, created it twice

[supple ridge]

meaning?

[loud junco]

u cant get the percentage if u dont get the message yes?

[supple ridge]

nono its an embed sent by a bot thats not mine

[loud junco]

then how do u plan to do it

[supple ridge]

that's why i came here

[upbeat otter]

use regex.

not like I know how it works

you could achieve the same without regex too

But messy

[rustic edge]

Hello!

Is it possible to restart the bot within istelf without killing the script? I want to use this feature because I'm running my bot on a Unix server and my problem is when I use a service such as nohup to keep it running, I'm not able to kill it when I pull new changes from GitHub. How would I go about doing this?

[vale wing]

Updating the bot without killing the script is done through reloading extensions

I would recommend using docker instead of nohup

That's completely different thing tho

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/ consider looking into this @rustic edge

[vale wing]

Ash vs Asher 🥶 battle

[cold sonnet]

who's the real one

[upbeat otter]

none

[cold sonnet]

[vale wing]

Asher has an advantage of being bobux developer

Idk how that's an advantage but anyway

[shrewd apex]

net worth is higher

[vale wing]

Ah yes

[cold sonnet]

I'm gonna have a dog like this

[shrewd apex]

nice

[vale wing]

Nice dog

But can it bring bobux

[shrewd apex]

u all still have aspirations 😔

[upbeat otter]

Why have a dog when you can be the dog 😳

[cold sonnet]

you did not just say that

you can see I'm a crocodile

[quick gust]

wtf

[cold sonnet]

we don't need 2 Ashleys here do we

[vale wing]

Discord bots is for everything

[vale wing]

Like when you say "I am going to get this dog" you actually mean "how can I make a discord bot that can give me a dog based on my calculations"

[cold sonnet]

!dog

[unkempt canyon]

Did you mean ...

how does it make docker simple

I'm mad at this lib for taking the name 'dog' so unnecessarily

which manual

[cold sonnet]

I don't understand anything from that

[vale wing]

On top.gg

You earn bobux by doing stuff

That's the manual

[shrewd apex]

how ru publicising the bot?

[vale wing]

You mean what

[quick gust]

Lmao

what's the use of bobux if i may ask

[vale wing]

I use exponential growth

[vale wing]

None yet

[shrewd apex]

in short how to get the bot to join more servers

[vale wing]

You can join development server we share news there but you will be able to spend it

[vale wing]

Exponential growth

[quick gust]

man i was hopin we could convert it to robux :(

[vale wing]

People see bot, they want to add it to their server

The more servers the more people

And the bigger servers

We can actually count how many users bobux serves rn

140k

Not that much but something

[quick gust]

140k???

one fourty thousand?

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[vale wing]

Um actually 1000 1000 1011 1000 00

[maiden fable]

I think u all will want to move this to an ot

[vale wing]

Um actually, according to my calculations, we are currently talking about a discord bot

🤓

[maiden fable]

Not discord bot development

[upbeat otter]

It's about a discord bot

let's start criticizing bobux bot then 😳

[maiden fable]

Still not the convo about discord bot development

[vale wing]

Ok

[upbeat otter]

We could talk about how bobux bot could be made better

[vale wing]

Guys what's best implementation for settings

[maiden fable]

Smh

[vale wing]

We got development plan for 4 versions ahead so too early

[vale wing]

I thought of selectmenu

[upbeat otter]

💀 Can I contribute

[maiden fable]

Wait, bobux is your bot?

[vale wing]

Yeah I am project manager and there are 4 other devs in team

[shrewd apex]

legendary team

[vale wing]

It's closed source tho

[maiden fable]

Am I the only one who thought it was some random bot giving free currency lmao

[upbeat otter]

'cause you're there 💀

[vale wing]

Idk

[upbeat otter]

And it def costs more than ipad

yeah about that

Um mom I need RTX 4090 for my studies

[shrewd apex]

u can get a decent model as well

[supple ridge]

but how will i get the vals of the embed 🥹

[upbeat otter]

POV they bought you the 4090 but no other hardware

[supple ridge]

gaming on a graphic cards

sleep sleep

[upbeat otter]

gaming in real life

[vale wing]

Heh I would just sell it and get whole PC but with RTX 3070 prob

Mom wouldn't probably see the difference between 4090 and 3070

!test it not giving me response

[sick birch]

It's quite complex - are you up for it?

[slate swan]

make sure message_content intent is enabled

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(value=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

New in version 1.5.

[jade lodge]

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

I would not recommend undertaking an invite system unless you can work at a high level

So on_message is called whenever the bot sees a message being sent, which by default calls await Bot.process_commands(), which basically tells the bot to treat the message as a command. You've overwritten this event but not called the process_commands method.

Oh and also, the hex digit passed as your embed colour is 7 digits when it must be a 6-digit hex number @jade lodge

Am invite system. Discord doesn't just tell you who a new member was invited by. You need to cache the total invites for each server in memory, and do a differential lookup for each new on member. Update the cache again

[slate swan]

the error is very basic

inconsistent use of tabs & space

[jade lodge]

Im new

[slate swan]

it's not related to discord.py but related to python

welp just delete all the spaces that you've in indentation of that function & replace 'em with either space or tab

[jade lodge]

@slate swan

@slate swan

[slate swan]

man

just fix your indentation 🙂

[jade lodge]

What is it

[upbeat otter]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

hi, i am learning python and the first thing i want to do with it is to create a discord bot. Do you know ways to learn making discord bots? because youtube videos and most courses are not really good code

[fading marlin]

you're not responding to the interaction fast enough

[sick birch]

Maybe not the best idea 😓
Making discord bots in Python is quite difficult and not geared towards beginners.
I would recommend learning intermediate Python at least before getting started with Discord bots.
And you're right, youtube videos and courses aren't really that good here
Use the !resources tag in #bot-commands for some resources to learn Python

[solid orbit]

okay ty

[solid orbit]

what should you recommend to learn first?

because it seems really fun to make discord bots to me

because the avatar has been deleted from the discord CDN, so until and unless it's in user's cache, it will not be displayed

[mental hollow]

how can I get it in my users cache in that case?

^ I’m gonna try fetch the user

[slate swan]

your cache, not your bot's cache

and the bot can't interact with it lol

[mental hollow]

ah

is there really no workaround whatsoever

you haven't showed us any errors either

[pulsar bridge]

Is there a way to use checks with slash commands?
Been looking around and haven't found much..
Just need to check if a user has one role out of a few when their running the command, and it won't run if they don't.
And then having a sepreate check under that, which will also allow them to run the command if they have the Admin or Manage Guild perms.
The bot command version would be:

@bot.command(name='yy')
@commands.check_any(commands.is_owner(), is_guild_owner(), commands.has_role("x"), commands.has_role("y"), commands.has_role("x"))
@commands.check_any(commands.has_permissions(administrator=True), commands.has_permissions(manage_guild=True))
async def xx(ctx):
 '''Code'''

[sick birch]

@pulsar bridge I would probably create a custom check combining both of those requirements
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=check#discord.app_commands.check

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.check

@discord.app_commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to an application command.

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure "discord.app_commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the appropriate error handlers.

These checks can be either a coroutine or not.

Examples

Creating a basic check to see if the command invoker is you...

[sick birch]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_role

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

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

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

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

Thanks again, Robin!
Always so speedy and helpful

[slate swan]

how does one setup a command that will make a cache of the data?
i wanna make a role react command for my discord and a friends that will be something like yagpdb
!addrolereact message.id role.id emoji

[rare echo]

i mean you could save the old, but youd have to somehow grab it prior to them changing it to have the before

[naive briar]

What are you gonna cache exactly

If you're making react roles, you should use a database 🍬

[slate swan]

what's the recommended db?

i saw sqlite and peewee as the main ones people have made content and using it as their db.

[naive briar]

If your bot is private or still smol, SQLite3 is enough

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.18.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[slate swan]

ty!

[slate swan]

and for larger projects...? just curious

[fast musk]

Postgres

[upbeat otter]

Just use postgres since it'll be easier later

[slate swan]

json wen

[upbeat otter]

no db when

[slate swan]

json is not a db

[upbeat otter]

bro

[slate swan]

is there an easier way to read the discordpy.readthedocs.io? cause honestly, this is annoying not having a list of all possible events/listeners...etc

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @pulsar bridge!

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

[pulsar bridge]

Ran into this error when trying to start my bot. (Error -> https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ahuqutukef)
I'm using only application commands.
Line 46 is:

load_dotenv();
PERSONAL_GUILD_ID = os.getenv('PERSONAL_GUILD_ID')
PERSONAL_GUILD = discord.Object(id=PERSONAL_GUILD_ID)

class TheClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)

    async def setup_hook(self):
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=PERSONAL_GUILD)
        await self.tree.sync(guild=PERSONAL_GUILD)  # <- Line 46

client = TheClient(intents = intents)

Maybe I've invited the client wrong?
I'm used to using a bot, and bot commands, but now I'm using interactions / slash commands.
Is there a different way I should be inviting it?

[upbeat otter]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=event#discord-api-events

[proud tiger]

!else

[unkempt canyon]

for-else

In Python it's possible to attach an else clause to a for loop. The code under the else block will be run when the iterable is exhausted (there are no more items to iterate over). Code within the else block will not run if the loop is broken out using break.

Here's an example of its usage:

numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]

for number in numbers:
    if number % 2 == 0:
        print(f"Found an even number: {number}")
        break
    print(f"{number} is odd.")
else:
    print("All numbers are odd. How odd.")

Try running this example but with an even number in the list, see how the output changes as you do so.

[upbeat otter]

use #bot-commands , this is for discord bot development not using the server bots

[slate swan]

oops i thought it was bot commands lmao

[slate swan]

my bad im really sorry

[upbeat otter]

don't use on_ready to do api calls

[slate swan]

so it doesn't need the data to run cogs? I should run cogs a different way? this way it does a separate api call?

[upbeat otter]

loading cogs doesn't make api requests

Make sure to define what token is.

How does one create an on_error event listener for application commands?
Specifically one dealing with the CommandOnCooldown error instance.
This is what I have so far...

@client.event
async def on_application_command_error(error):

        time = error.retry_after
        time = int(time)
        '''Irrelevent Code'''
        await error.channel.send(f'{(str(ctx.command)).capitalize()} is still on cooldown for {hours} hours, {minutes} minutes and {seconds} seconds!')

But it ain't triggering.
I've tried it with:
on_command_error on_error on_application_error on_application_command_error
Ideas?

[slate swan]

anyone know how I can put three buttons next to each other like that

Pretty sure Discord does that for you if you don't set the row

Or it has enough space to put there

How to add callback to Select menu?

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.error

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.error

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

This must match the signature of the [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error") callback.

The error passed will be derived from [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError "discord.app_commands.AppCommandError").

so the bot.get_channel

are you trying to get a channel with that name?

[slate swan]

I forgot await

[upbeat otter]

did you even read the error "and stop helping with features that would break the TOS and privacy of the users"

[stable nimbus]

Yeah

[upbeat otter]

nice answer

[stable nimbus]

ty?

[upbeat otter]

welcome?

[slate swan]

Lol thats not breaking any tos its classic log system

🧠

[upbeat otter]

they were trying to send invites to themselves

normal logging would be printing stuff

[slate swan]

No its log in one channel

For logs

[upbeat otter]

huh

[slate swan]

"tos"

[quick gust]

you're violating the user's privacy

[upbeat otter]

I'm not even arguing just forgive me

[quick gust]

logging the name is fine, but not invite links to their server

[slate swan]

What can i do with 1 invite? Hack discord ? Hack google?

[quick gust]

try to read, "violating the user's privacy"

thats what ure doing with "1 invite"

[upbeat otter]

Where did google come from 💀

[void arch]

The interaction fails, no error, just the text on discord that it fails
edit:nevermind, I forgot to link the callback

[slate swan]

aliases commands works only with command.commands in COGS ?

[tacit horizon]

@client.command()
async def hi(ctx):
    await ctx.reply("hi")    
    

@client.command()
async def hii(ctx):
    hi(ctx)

why i cant do this

[rare echo]

invoke

[tacit horizon]

whats that

[limpid otter]

is it possible to make a global error handler that will affect all commands, if the user_id is not in the database, then it would give an error, otherwise you don’t want to write a check in all commands?

[tacit horizon]

ok i can do this i have to put await

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function...

[slate swan]

yo im new with cogs im trying to understand but i have error that i dont know how to fix

[naive briar]

You need setup function

[slate swan]

where

[naive briar]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html

[slate swan]

?

[naive briar]

Just run it, see what happens

[slate swan]

i ran it

no command named 'hello'

[golden portal]

add_cog is async, you need to await it, also you load extension by bot.load_extension, you shouldn't import the function

[quick gust]

no, normal commands work too

[shrewd apex]

lol

[quick gust]

as flowerpad said, use load_extension

[golden portal]

dpy 2.0 requires setup to be async

[quick gust]

oh? didn't know, stopped using dpy

[naive briar]

Not after discord.py 2.0

[vale wing]

!pypi python-dotenv when the

[unkempt canyon]

python-dotenv v0.21.0

Read key-value pairs from a .env file and set them as environment variables

[fading marlin]

you should be able to do it? you're not awaiting hi though

[vale wing]

Yeah they should just await it

[tacit horizon]

how to get interaction author name

[vale wing]

I am gonna teach you how to get that info from docs

First of all, check attributes of Interaction class

@tacit horizon

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[tacit horizon]

ok

[tacit horizon]

i did

[vale wing]

Ok now, which of them do you think represents the interaction user?

[shrewd apex]

tip: answer is in the question

[tacit horizon]

user

[shrewd apex]

🎉

[tacit horizon]

The user or member that sent the interaction.

Type
Union[User, Member]

[shrewd apex]

yes

[tacit horizon]

Ohhh

but whats Union

[fading marlin]

it means that it can be any of those 2 instances

[tacit horizon]

that will be interaction.User ?

[fading marlin]

no

lowercase

[tacit horizon]

ok

Got it

[vale wing]

Great now check attributes of the discord.User class and find out which represents the name

[tacit horizon]

name

[vale wing]

👏

[tacit horizon]

so that will be interaction.user.name

[vale wing]

Congratulations now you can use docs for finding information

[tacit horizon]

Yeee

Thanks

now discord doc making sense for me 😄

[sage fern]

it didn't work it showed this intents.message_content = True
AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'

[fading marlin]

update your wrapper

[void arch]

How to do the ghost message thing, basicly a "message" that only targeted user can see and has that little dismiss text that makes it disapear, like some ones in slash commands that are used for errors
something like this, but without this glow, just a message

[fading marlin]

they're called ephemeral responses

[void arch]

ok

[fading marlin]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message you have to set the ephemeral keyword argument to True

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[void arch]

thanks

[void arch]

If I want to check if the user that interacts with Interaction I should use Interaction.user to compare, yes or no?

[slate swan]

Yea

[sage fern]

I did just change it so people do see my token

[white citrus]

How can I get all "_id"`s from a table so that they are in a list with aiosqlite

[vale wing]

Sqlite doesn't support array type if you mean that

[void arch]

I have messages array provided by ctx.channel.history
how do I check for all of them if they are not older than 14 days

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

just use the after kwarg?

[void arch]

My idea is that I fetch x messages, filter ones that are not older than 14 days to one array, filter ones that are older than 14 days to another one, bulk delete them(I accounted for 100 at time limit) and then fetch and delete rest of them, that is why I want to filter out them from already fetched array and not with kwarg

[slate swan]

use the filter function and seperate the messages that are under 14 days by checking message.created_at

!d filter

[unkempt canyon]

filter

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

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

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

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

[hushed galleon]

btw this is essentially what discord.py does when you use the purge() method

[lethal creek]

Hello, I'm hoping to get some help on a project I'm working on.

I'm building a discord bot that will allow members to connect to Strava, pull their activities and then display information in certain ways (like weekly, monthly, yearly leaderboards for example).

My issue right now is with authenticating with Strava. I've tinkered with the Strava API previously on a Flask project that I was working on last year, but there I used the requests_oauthlib library to handle the sending the request and then getting the access code from the redirect.

I'm trying to get my bot to handle this, but I'm lost . I can have it display the link to the user, but then I haven't figured out how to get the data from the redirect_url aside from having the user copy/paste it. I'd rather not rely on that.

Is there a better way? Any advice/hints would be really helpful. Much appreciated.

[slate swan]

What would load_extension be in discord.pay 2.0?

[slate swan]

This was super helpful. Ty.

[slate swan]

it's the same, but you'll have to await it

so what would be the best way to load extensions? I followed a few videos and used this, but what if I wanted to organize them more. i.e. folder/subfolders/files.py?

        for cog_file in settings.COGS_DIR.glob("*.py"):
            if cog_file.name != "__init__.py":
                await bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{cog_file.name[:-3]}")

for subdir in os.listdir("main_cog_directory"):
    # ignore files and folder with a continue, example:
    # if subdir = "__init__.py": 
    #     continue
    for module in os.listdir(subdir):
        await Bot.load_extension(f"main_cog_directory.{subdir}.{module[:-3]}")
``` would be the simplest way

i noticed the second loop is broken lol, it would be "main_cog_directory/"+subdir inside listdir^

thank you! do i need to define the subdir/module via a command then? or with this being a for loop, it will just complete these based on the directory?

os.listdir returns a list, subdir is a member of the list per iteration

same goes for module

you'll have to mention your main cog folder path inside the first listdir

so i have in my settings
BASE_DIR = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent
COGS_DIR = BASE_DIR / "cogs"
i'd just change the second one to be
main_cog_directory = BASE_DIR / "cogs" then technically?

yep that should do

ty!

[sick birch]

From what you've said - I'm guessing Strava allows you to use OAuth to allow users to log in via their Strava account,and you can fetch information about their account?
I'm not 100% sure what Strava is so I'm taking a guess here :P

[lethal creek]

Yup!

Right now, what I'm doing is sending them the link, formatted properly.

The problem I'm having is in getting the response back.

I've been looking through Google trying to see if Discord will let me open up a browser to the link and then using something like BeautifulSoup to read the redirect url after they authorize.

But that's been mostly no go.

[slate swan]

one more question. for the docs.

    async def ping(ctx):
      await ctx.send("pong")

so for commands, it always needs ctx, minimal, to work... right? then anything after ctx, is considered a string or integer based on what i define them as, but they can't be the prefix... right?

[sick birch]

Unfortunately you're going to have to get the author to enter in the code into your discord bot manually.
Otherwise you'd need to somehow set up a communication pipeline from your Flask app (handling the redirect) to your discord bot.
I'll warn you this method gets really messy, though

I hate to say this - but your hands are a bit tied here 😦

[golden portal]

its not just "string or integer" you can provide a lot of converter including int, including your own converter

[lethal creek]

Damn. That's what I've been worried about.

I'm right now trying to use the wait_for() command, but my check method hasn't been working properly

[sick birch]

It even works with discord objects, like member pings!

[sick birch]

What event are you waiting for?

[lethal creek]

The user submitting the redirect url into the chat.

[sick birch]

Are you using some library for this?

wait_for is for discord.py events only

Unless you hack the library into listening for custom dispatches

[lethal creek]

From my understanding:

def check(msg):
    return (
        msg.author == ctx.message.author
        and msg.channel == ctx.channel
        and "https://localhost/exchange_token" in msg.content
    )

All this really does is:

1. check that the author of the submitted message (after the discord bot sends out the link for them to auth to) is the original author.

2. Make sure we are still in the right channel

3. Make sure that whatever message was submitted has the portion of the url I know should be there.

Correct?

[sick birch]

Yup.
It's been a while since I did any sort of OAuth - but is that link what you get along with the code to exchange for access token?

Looks like

https://localhost/exchange_token?code=some_code_here

Is that correct?

[lethal creek]

Yup

[lethal creek]

pretty much

[sick birch]

Then yeah, what you said is correct. You'll have to parse out the code yourself
Or use something like urllib, which is part of the stdlib fyi

[lethal creek]

Awesome.

I'm literally brand new to discord bots and have been hacking together things I have found across a days worth of Googling.

My only problem is that I keep getting a "NoneType object has no attribute "author"" so I'm obviously referencing things incorrectly. Just need to find where.

I really appreciate all the help. Especially if you're in the east coast. It's almost midnight here.

[sick birch]

Can you paste the whole traceback? We can get that sorted for ya 😄

[sick birch]

CST, only about half past ten. No big deal 😛

[lethal creek]

I'd like to take a crack at getting it working myself first. I'm almost 100% positive that the issue is in referencing the wrong objects.

But considering how late it is, I'll probably leave it for morning.

[slate swan]

Just post the traceback it's likely an easy fix

[sick birch]

Always great to tackle it yourself first.
If you need help with that tomorrow feel free to open up a help post in #1035199133436354600 and ping me 😄

(But like y9 mentioned, if you want to get it out of the way, we can help you out now as well, up to you)

[slate swan]

Hey robin I haven't really checked out discord.py buttons you know any good tutorials on them?

[sick birch]

I'd just recommend the examples
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/counter.py

The tutorials are pretty bad, frankly. If you go up to the "views" folder in the linked repo you'll find a bunch more examples

[slate swan]

can buttons only be used with application commands?

[upbeat otter]

,

[sick birch]

Nah they can be sent in response to regular prefix commands as well

The response to the button however has to be an interaction

Though usually you want to tie them in with application commands for the best user experience

[lethal creek]

At the expense of feeling even sillier:

I can just copy/paste the whole traceback? Is there a specific format or do I just ctrl-c/ctrl-v it?

[sick birch]

That's exactly what we want you to do

!pastebin if it's too long for discord

[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.

[lethal creek]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/isucevajav

[sick birch]

That's strange. The docs say it has to be Message.
Can you try ctx.author?

[slate swan]

I thought it was ctx.author

[sick birch]

ctx.author is a shortcut to ctx.message.author i believe

Still odd, nonetheless

[slate swan]

Could you show the code for that command perhaps, Fallennekho3?

[sick birch]

Yes please. Codeblock it here if it's short, or pastebin like before if it's long

[lethal creek]

That was how I had it first and got the same error.

This has been happening all day with stuff, for example ctx.send won't work, but when I switch it to ctx.channel.send it does, which I found through the docs.

[slate swan]

What version of discord.py do you have installed?

[lethal creek]

2.1.0

[sick birch]

That's not good.
Actually, can you copy paste your entire code into a !pastebin? (it will probably be too long for discord)

(The version is fine, I was referring to it being funky)

[slate swan]

make sure to take your bot token out before uploading

[lethal creek]

https://pastebin.com/LGp8rS68

[sick birch]

Ah, I know why.
You call it ctx but in reality it's a discord.Interaction object

[shrewd fjord]

Hey robin, long time no see :3

[sick birch]

Just a matter of faulty naming

[sick birch]

Hi! Howdy?

[slate swan]

yeah he type hinted it incorrectly?

[lethal creek]

In my check method? Or elsewhere?

Also, holy crap. That was incredibly fast to spot.

[sick birch]

!d discord.Interaction @lethal creek discord.Interaction objects differ slightly from commands.Context objects

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[sick birch]

It's typehinted properly, just named incorrectly

[shrewd fjord]

Wassup 🔫

[sick birch]

If you'll notice it's a slash command

[shrewd fjord]

So u completed rust?

[sick birch]

Just starting out, in fact

Still got lots to learn

[shrewd fjord]

Oh i thought u finishing it alr xd

[shrewd fjord]

Goodluck then!

[sick birch]

I don't know if I could ever finish a language like Rust, haha

[sick birch]

Sorry, got sidetracked lol.
In your function header. Line 70

Same deal on line 38

[lethal creek]

I really want to make sure I understand, but my brain feels like molasses :

It doesn't really matter what I call it, but with discord bots ctx means I should be using a context object, and those have distinct commands from the interaction objects?

So the issue is that what I have written in places is expecting a context object but is calling interaction attributes, hence why I'm getting my none type error.

So if I just switch something like "ctx.author" to the appropriate attribute for the interaction I should be fine?

[sick birch]

Exactly.
For a context object, you use ctx.author
For an interaction object, you use interaction.user

How you have it currently, you have a ctx: discord.Interaction which is really an interaction disguised as a context.
When you try calling methods you normally would on a context, you're actually accessing those methods on an interaction (which of course, don't exist)

Fortunately it's pretty simple and a 1 to 1 mapping between commands.Context and discord.Interaction

[lethal creek]

Awesome.

I was trying to print out what the output from each of these attributes, but it kept crashing regardless. When in doubt, I try to print out each of my objects/variables to know exactly what it looks like.

Question though: When should I use which?

For example, I imagine if I'm using commands I should be using interactions, since I'm interacting with the bot?

[sick birch]

What sort of commands? Text-based or slash commands?

[slate swan]

you can just use type annotations for your ide to do autocompletes and warn if you're using wrong member of the class

[sick birch]

Text-based commands will use a context
Slash commands will use an interaction

[slate swan]

a prefix based command (decorated with bot.command/commands.command ) would use a context
an application based command ( tree.command/app_commands.command ) would use a interaction

[lethal creek]

I really appreciate all the help, and adding more things to my reading. I definitely need to understand these differences better.

[sick birch]

It's not at all trivial IMO, so having someone else tell you can be much easier than digging through documentation for hours

[lethal creek]

Finding this discord has been a god send, honestly.

[sick birch]

Some other advise I have in your code:

• sqlite3 is blocking - you don't want to be using blocking libraries in your code. Switch to something like aiosqlite while your codebase is still small and easy to migrate
• You can use name = interaction.user.name instead of str(ctx.user).split("#")[0] (I'm assuming this part comes from a youtube tutorial)
• You don't need to int(ctx.user.id), discord_id = ctx.user.id will do just fine
• I would also not recommend creating a new connection for each command. Rather, you want a global connection and get cursors from there as you need it
• Syncing should be done in setup_hook rather than in on_ready

You can always open a help channel in #1035199133436354600 or ask here and someone will help you out, if you need help with any of those aforementioned improvements

[lethal creek]

Going to save this and work on it in the morning.

[sick birch]

Tip: use the .bookmark command when replying to that message

[lethal creek]

Very much appreciated @sick birch and @slate swan . You've both been super helpful!

Have a great night (or whatever fits best for your locale)

[upbeat otter]

@bot.command()
async def uwu(interaction: commands.Context) -> None:

😳

[slate swan]

what the

[flint hare]

which bot can i use to upwork clients?

[slate swan]

it's not finding the path specified. 🤔

[vestal crescent]

I need help

[naive briar]

Then ask it

[upbeat gust]

To what clients?

[slate swan]

sometimes when i load my vscode, i get this error when i try and do pip install...
[Errno 2] No such file or directory i'm just using powershell btw

[upbeat gust]

Full error?

[slate swan]

PS E:\!python\Bot Python Template> python pip install requests
C:\Users\Keiraxlicious\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe: can't open file 'E:\\!python\\Bot Python Template\\pip': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[upbeat gust]

py -m pip

Why are you installing requests for your discord bot though?

[slate swan]

don't I have to install them to run it local to test things?

[upbeat gust]

..?

[slate swan]

you get an error saying Import "requests" could not be resolved in vs when you go to run the main.py... so u have to install them is what I was taught from videos.

no?

[naive briar]

Let me guess, YouTube tutorials?

[slate swan]

yup and a skillshare one too

the skillshare one has you add them to a doc for heroku to run them.

[upbeat gust]

Why are you importing it anyway?

If you really need to make requests you should be using aiohttp

[slate swan]

cause idk what i'm doing? 🤣

[upbeat gust]

Here is the example in the official discord.py repo:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/

[slate swan]

which one shows an example of aiohttp?

[naive briar]

!d aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp

Common data structures used by aiohttp internally...

[naive briar]

Pretty sure they have some example in their website

https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_quickstart.html

[upbeat gust]

Hold on

[upbeat gust]

.

Why do you need it?

[slate swan]

use httpx/aiohttp

dont use requests

[upbeat gust]

I've already said that,I don't think they even need it anyway

[slate swan]

show code

[slate swan]

idk yet, depends on what all it can do. like generate images from certain websites like for waifus, or can it grab data from a user# that's registered on tracker.gg/valorant for their rank
or does this allow api integration and if I have an api key for notion, valorant, apex... w/e can it integrate with those? to be frank, idk what and of these packages do, theres too many and if one person says to use requests and u say to use aiohttp... like how am i supposed to know what 1 can do and what 1 can't? just doesn't make sense to me.

use any http client

[sick birch]

@slate swan discord.py uses aiohttp internally so it's a dependency: you install discord.py you also install aiohttp, it's recommend to use aiohttp over requests

[upbeat gust]

Both of these libraries are used to make network requests, such as to apis, requests is not async, if you use it in an async script it will block other code from running, aiohttp does the same thing, but async

Httpx is a library that does both but like- no one uses it

This is what blocking means: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[quick gust]

and the more you use different modules the faster ull understand and remember how each is different

[upbeat gust]

what

[quick gust]

Responding to the end part of their question

[slate swan]

show code

[shell wing]

Is it possible to fetch a button class or a dropdown class from a diff cog ?

[slate swan]

you mean import it?

[shell wing]

yes and use it ofc

[slate swan]

use the import statement and create an instance of the class?

[shell wing]

um how ?

[upbeat otter]

from diff_cog import ButtonClass

buttons = ButtonClass()
await send(view = buttons)

easy

[shell wing]

it doesnt matter if the cog is in a folder right ?

[upbeat otter]

well it does

from folder.diff_cog import ButtonClass

[shell wing]

ah alr

do i need to load this cog too ? a cog only with class(s) ?

[slate swan]

why is it a cog then just use a simple file

[shell wing]

simple file as in ?

[slate swan]

any_file_name.py ??? doesn't need to be an extension

[shell wing]

i aint treating it like a cog-

not loading it or anything

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hevucifewi
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/asufatixeb

[shell wing]

i got a diff project in which i need to do it with a cog too so thats why asking

[slate swan]

i did have it like this, but still same error.

[slate swan]

load_extension takes python import path like string as argument, not the actual path
"path/to/file.py": ❌
"path.to.file": ✅

so you'll have to do the path joining manually

pathlib won't do that

[slate swan]

if you replace the exact code i sent with "main_cog_folder" replaced with your cog folder name it should work

I forgot how to do this with bare requests, but how do I retrieve every message from a channel?

You probably know, @slate swan

[naive briar]

Like directly with discord API or with discord.py

[slate swan]

directly with the API

in discord.py I would just do

[message async for message in channel.history(limit=None)]

but i'm not sure how with just bare requests

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

I'm looking for the actual code of that method

[slate swan]

so that did fix that error...
now I have...
discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionNotFound: Extension 'cog_extensions.cmds.__pycach' could not be loaded.

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#get-channel-messages

[slate swan]

its the pycache folder, add a check the continues if the item is not a .py file lol

[slate swan]

how would I request all of them though?

[slate swan]

request the first 100
get the creation time of the oldest one of those,
use the creation of the oldest for the "before" argument and request for the next 100, keep repeating...

Hiya, I know discord already has a default /timeout command but I want to be able to add one to my discord.py bot but have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve tried looking on YouTube, stack overflow, Google, etc. and haven’t found one that works and is compatible with slash commands. Can anyone assist me please?

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.11)").

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

!d discord.ext.commands.Converter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Converter

class discord.ext.commands.Converter(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class of custom converters that require the [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") to be passed to be useful.

This allows you to implement converters that function similar to the special cased `discord` classes.

Classes that derive from this should override the [`convert()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Converter.convert "discord.ext.commands.Converter.convert") method to do its conversion logic. This method must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

[shrewd apex]

that should be about it

whats the best way to append user's info? like append their pfp and nickname to files on github or whatever might be obtainable for another bot to grab the info?

Trying to add a lockdown command to my bot, but it doesn't change the permissions of the everyone role. Please help <3

@bot.tree.command(name='lock', description='Locks a channel')
@has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def lockdown(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    guild = interaction.guild
    await interaction.channel.set_permissions(interaction.guild.default_role,send_messages=False)
    embed = discord.Embed(title=(f'{interaction.channel.mention} + " ***is now in lockdown.***'), color=0xf6ff00)
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

also in the embed it says the channel ID instead of the name

[slate swan]

how can I turn a tool into a bot with /commands

[naive briar]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

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

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

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

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

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

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

[naive briar]

You can't use markdowns or mentions in embed title

[pulsar kettle]

If I can't use mentions, how can I just get it to display the channel name as regular text?

[naive briar]

In the description?

[quick gust]

.name

[upbeat otter]

what exctly are you trying to achieve?
like in what manner should you store the data or where you could store the data?

[upbeat otter]

iirc You can mention in the title now

[naive briar]

I'll test that 🧐

[upbeat otter]

yeah pls thanks

[slate swan]

so i wanted to make animated alerts on streamelements for specific guild.id's when someone joins the discord the bot's in. so while i was waiting for a response, i've been looking into aiohttp and pil? to be able to do image related stuff?
lets say i have a default 200x200 px image and a default text. just when someone joins it, it overwrites the previous. i just want the data to append the info stored since I can't have it append something locally if it's running on a server... so github was my first idea...

[waxen granite]

how do i send msg if the erroris nonetype? try and except?

[slate swan]

What really 🤯

[quick gust]

this is better suited for #python-discussion but yeah sure why not

[waxen granite]

okay

[upbeat otter]

I see
I didn't even understand, maybe someone else could help 😭

if you want to upload things and access them from somewhere else, you might wanna use a cloud db, that's the easiest imo

[quick gust]

by locally do you mean on your computer?

[slate swan]

oh...
uhh...
just overwrite the image.png and overwrite a txt or md file stored somewhere... can be local or cloud, or github. just somewhere then i can fetch it w/ c#

but if i'm using like heroku to host my bot, it won't be able to append files on my pc... which is why i mentioned online services

[quick gust]

I meant, are u running the bot on your computer?

[slate swan]

only for dev purposes. anything that works is running on heroku rn

[quick gust]

I see, well yeah then you can use a cloud database as Ash said. I'm not entirely sure how heroku works

[upbeat otter]

I'd personally use a cloud database for what you're doing
a drive database for storing images
and a normal database for storing the text you put in the txt file

[upbeat otter]

heroku basically clears all the edited files by the point of termination, so anything such as using json as a database is not going to work

[quick gust]

oh damn

[upbeat otter]

This could be overkill so if you want any other alternative 💀

[slate swan]

i have it linked to github so i thought the init's push's could just overwrite what gets saved, but wasn't sure how it would send data from heroku back to github where it initializes the bot from...

[slate swan]

i mean, the only clouds i use are googledrive and pcloud.

any suggestions?

[upbeat otter]

I wouldn't want to risk that either, you bot's gonna restart every time

something's pushed if you have the feature enabled ofc

[slate swan]

true....

[upbeat otter]

I'd personally use the deta databases since they're truly easy to interact with
they have a databases for Drive and a JSON-based database too (JSON dbs have a storage of 10gb and the drive also has 10gb I suppose)

https://www.deta.sh

[slate swan]

nosql = cringe

[upbeat otter]

ok bro

[slate swan]

yes

[upbeat otter]

ok

[slate swan]

[upbeat otter]

databases are cringe 😔

[slate swan]

^ use paper

just go back to stone age and use hammers and chisels at that point

just develope a good memory

[upbeat otter]

Just don't do anything and wait for death

[slate swan]

or let someone else do the work and u borrow it

[upbeat otter]

"don't do nothing" 😔 why even borrow

[slate swan]

sounds like something I'd do

[slate swan]

as the boomers say "work smarter not harder"

[upbeat otter]

that's not boomer type lmao

working smarter is actually better

[slate swan]

not working at all better

[upbeat otter]

you do lots of work everyday, so you shouldn't be saying that

[slate swan]

technically speaking my displacement vector is (0,0,0) so nah

🤣

[waxen granite]

embed = discord.Embed(icon = member.display_avatar, title = f"Member Joined", description = f"{member.mention}({member.name}) joined the server.\n\n", color = discord.Colour.random(), timestamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow())```
whats wrong here?

[slate swan]

ok, so how does this cloud work? i installed deta package,
then it says

# initialize with a project key
deta = Deta("project key")

# create and use as many Drives as you want!
photos = deta.Drive("photos")
photos.put("my_first_car.png", path="./my_first_car.png")

so would i just do like...
await self.client.photos.put(image_path, member.avatar_url, content_type="image/png")
await self.client.text.put(text_path, member.name, content_type="text/txt")
? aside from the try-except statement handlers.

[upbeat otter]

well first of all you should use their async sdk

lemme grab the link rq

[slate swan]

thank you

[upbeat otter]

https://docs.deta.sh/docs/base/async_sdk
here is the async base
and what you're trying to do is right too

[slate swan]

thank you!

[upbeat otter]

you're welcome

[slate swan]

so quick question, can I only view whats on the drive with code or are there like hyperlinks to the data stored?

[distant tree]

anyone down to help me come up with a gameplan to make a transaction bot (examples in screenshots)

the current bot is not it

hoping to make a better more streamlined and error free alternative

it would be server specific

i'd assume a db is needed for data that needs to be persistent

(like the bot not forgetting user a owns team a, and there are these players on team a)

[naive briar]

What's the problem

Also the icon arg needs a string of a url

Not asset

[upbeat otter]

you could use the UI too
just login to your account and you'll see a pane on the left that contains all your dbs and drive

[waxen granite]

fixed, ty

how do you get banlist?

[distant tree]

assuming the library is an up-to-date discord.py (or dpy fork) I'd look into not using datetime.datetime.utcnow()

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

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

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

Examples

Usage...

[waxen granite]

banList = await member.guild.bans()```
i used to do this

[naive briar]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

Examples

Usage...

[upbeat otter]

oof

[waxen granite]

yeah discord.utils.utcnow() to be used

[naive briar]

It's an async generator

[distant tree]

isn't there a more streamlined way to do that

[naive briar]

(or iterator)

There's an example in the docs

[upbeat otter]

banList = [async for banned_user in Guild.bans()]

😔

[distant tree]

jus a bump, keep movin though
