[vale wing]

@slate swan is this what you want

[random.randint(1, int(i)) for i in re.findall(DICE_PATTERN, user_input)]

You can even oneline that function to this

And yeah have a good workout

[vital glacier]

anyone that got any experience with humanizer?

[vocal snow]

You should claim a help channel: #❓｜how-to-get-help

[slate swan]

okay i'm back

i'm planning to also use normal numbers to make operations

[slate swan]

guess i'm not used with that kind of function

i'm using the basics of programation i have

[vale wing]

That's simple regex and list comp

Pretty common things

[slate swan]

i need it more explained, i'm new to regex. it's like a clusterfrick for me

[ionic garden]

is there any way to call an interaction from code itself?

[sick birch]

You extract the main logic and extract it into its own function

Then you call that

Also good for TDD

[ionic garden]

what's tdd

[slate swan]

okay i'm starting to learn it

[sick birch]

Test driven development

[vale wing]

!regex

[unkempt canyon]

Regular expressions
Regular expressions (regex) are a tool for finding patterns in strings. The standard library's re module defines functions for using regex patterns.

Example
We can use regex to pull out all the numbers in a sentence:

>>> import re
>>> text = "On Oct 18 1963 a cat was launched aboard rocket #47"
>>> regex_pattern = r"[0-9]{1,3}"  # Matches 1-3 digits
>>> re.findall(regex_pattern, text)
['18', '196', '3', '47']  # Notice the year is cut off

See Also
• The re docs - for functions that use regex
• regex101.com - an interactive site for testing your regular expression

[vale wing]

So basically it extracts 38 from 1d38. \d+ in regex means "digit repeated one or more times"

There's lots of syntax and patterns might seem complicated (hence simple link regex is https?://[-\w]+\.\w{2,4}(?:/[-\w%&?=#@]+)*), but once you get hang of it it is not that hard

[slate swan]

well, i'm gonna have a study now, i'm also planning to use the number before d since the first number represents how many times i'm rolling the same dice

[vale wing]

List comp is very common and easy

!list-comp

[unkempt canyon]

Do you ever find yourself writing something like this?

>>> squares = []
>>> for n in range(5):
...    squares.append(n ** 2)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Using list comprehensions can make this both shorter and more readable. As a list comprehension, the same code would look like this:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if clause:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

For more info, see this pythonforbeginners.com post.

[pseudo saffron]

hey with this code it only prints me SequenceProxy(dict_values([])) even i get the guild

if data["hunger"] <= 0:
    server = await bot.fetch_guild(526180194810******)
    print(server.channels)```

[civic fractal]

that's correct

server.channels is a sequence

you can just iterate through it normally for channel in server.channels or convert it to a list if you really felt like it list(server.channels)

[pseudo saffron]

it only gives me []

[civic fractal]

then your bot doesn't have access to the channels in that guild

[pseudo saffron]

it has

[pseudo saffron]

it has admin previlage

[civic fractal]

It looks like fetch_guild will not update the channel list

you should do await guild.fetch_channels()

[pseudo saffron]

it workde thx

[fair shuttle]

any1 can help why its not working >

[civic fractal]

you need to be a lot more specific than "it's not working"

[fair shuttle]

this is the error i got

[civic fractal]

I assume you've read the error at least right?

[fair shuttle]

yeah i read it but i dont really understand lmao kinda new into this

[civic fractal]

it says "unexpected keyword argument 'name'"

and if you scroll up a bit it tells you that the error is caused on this line

the error is telling you that Embeds don't have names

did you mean to give it a title instead?

[fair shuttle]

yeah imma fix that

ty @civic fractal for dat little help it works now

[slate swan]

how do i make the dice roll as a matrix?

i'm planning to not use "1d" since the number before "d" is used for indicade number of rolls

that can happens a multiroll

[vale wing]

Just list comp inside list comp

!e ```py
import random

user_input = [(2, 6), (5, 10)]
output = [[random.randint(1, maxval) for _ in range(count)] for count, maxval in user_input]
print(output)```

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[[2, 3], [3, 5, 7, 3, 2]]

[vale wing]

This is not really a matrix cause it got no definable size

Just a list of lists

[vital glacier]

Anyone got an idea who this wouldn't remove the entry from the database:

await db.execute('DELETE FROM afk WHERE user_id = ? ',(message.author.id,))

It puts it into the database, just doesn't delete it

!list-statement

the problem now is on my calculation thing

like, i'm planning to make the operator thing to calculate the arguments input to total

like 1d6[5]+2d5[2,3][8]+8 result into 21

maybe when i implement the input accept separance between () and [] i will need to make it recursive

and when i implement the stat system the {} thing being the identifier for stats

[slate swan]

idk what I did

but whenever I run my code this happens the bot doesn't work, it was working fine before idk

and when I go to discord the bot appears online

but again none of the commands run

[sick birch]

!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]

I am so dumbn

I forgot to import intents lol

[smoky sinew]

your method won't work lol

reinstalling python will always install it as python

not python3

[slate swan]

it installs it as python3.x for me

[fair shuttle]

im curious to know but is there a googletranslate package w pyton?

like i want to make a translate command

[fair shuttle]

alrrr tyyy

i was not sure at all cuz the version seems old

[slate swan]

i mean things like this dont need an update as long as the base API doesnt make a breaking change

[slate swan]

oh i see, and if i need to put an elif?

thanks for the first information

you guys are making me adapt my basics of programmation to advance into python

with that i will learn wonder stuffs that i never knew

[fading marlin]

elifs aren't supported. You could chain if-else though, but that'll probably make your code look a lot messier and unreadable

"a" if n % 2 else "b" if n % 5 else "c"

[slate swan]

ty

now it will makes my code even cleaner

"a" if n % 2 else ("b" if n % 5 else "c")
``` for the sake of readability

[smoky sinew]

no it makes your code worse

he already said it makes it look messier

don't just try to fit everything in one line

[slate swan]

well, in a certain case it will be useful

the calculation thing

but good to know that the basics willl be still valid

[smoky sinew]

depends on what kind of datamining

messages?

then probably, you at least want some kind of privacy policy, don't do it without consent

[viral stump]

use " instead of ”

[smoky sinew]

you need to put : str after question, because all arguments in a slash command need to have a type or else discord.py doesn't know what to send to the discord api

it's funny how it's always the one missing code that can mess up entirely for you

if you want to try the bot out, you can use #bot-commands or #sir-lancebot-playground by the way

tyty

[vale wing]

I am unable to check at the moment, but pretty sure it has alias executables

[lean plank]

anyone know how to decode these?[<function is_owner.<locals>.predicate at 0x7fa247167790>, <function has_permissions.<locals>.predicate at 0x7fa2471675e0>]

[naive briar]

Call the function

[lean plank]

what if im trying to get the permission inside of a help command, how would i do that?

[pliant trail]

does anyone know why this doesn't work? ```@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
help_embed = discord.Embed(
title="Help Menu",
description="A list of available commands:",
color=discord.Color.blue()
)

help_embed.add_field(name="ex", value="ex", inline=False)
help_embed.add_field(name="ex", value="ex", inline=False)
help_embed.add_field(name="ex", value="ex", inline=False)

await ctx.send(embed=help_embed)```

[naive briar]

Which part of it, be specific

[pliant trail]

like when i run the command the embed does not show/ the command does not run

[smoky sinew]

not for python3, no

[lean plank]

You able to reply to my other comment?

[smoky sinew]

are you subclassing help?

[lean plank]

yes

[vale wing]

But that person's issue was fixed after they did my solution, did they start using python instead of python3 or something

[smoky sinew]

probably

[smoky sinew]

show your code

[lean plank]

i have other code at the top which filters the command_set etc, but here im trying to get the perms required for the command

[unkempt mauve]

aiohttp is having problem

[smoky sinew]

params or perms?

[lean plank]

permissions

as in, administrator, ban perms etc

[smoky sinew]

where is the permission code though?

[lean plank]

i deleted it for now but it would go on around line 88

[smoky sinew]

what was it?

oh perms required

[lean plank]

yes

[smoky sinew]

sorry i'm stupid

[lean plank]

everytime i printed it, it'd output the function has_permissions.<locals>.predicate etcetc

[smoky sinew]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks ?

[lean plank]

i see that but i'm trying to figure it out though, dont quite get it

[naive briar]

Send the error then

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[smoky sinew]

it returns a list of callable checks

[lean plank]

it doesn't say what specific one though

[smoky sinew]

bruh @unkempt mauve https://paste.pythondiscord.com stop flooding chat

[lean plank]

how would i go around that?

[unkempt mauve]

f

[smoky sinew]

wdym??

which specific one? a command can have multiple checks

[lean plank]

to get the exact permission it needs so like Administrator, ban_members, the list only returns the functions

[unkempt mauve]

Code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uwinifafav
Error: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/juwobuteci

[smoky sinew]

probably something like

for check in command.checks:
    if check == commands.has_permissions:
        ...

[vital glacier]

@smoky sinew he's tryna make it so he has this^ on the help embed from the command. so if he does !ban it'll send the usage/help embed and then a field is Permissions with the matching permission needed for it

[smoky sinew]

i'm aware

[vital glacier]

alright just making sure

[lean plank]

tried that no result

[smoky sinew]

i'm checking to see what it returns

[lean plank]

returns nothing 🤷

[smoky sinew]

no..

if it returned nothing, it would be Optional

but it's List[Callable[Context, bool]]

[lean plank]

using this code, nothing returns

[smoky sinew]

what does command.checks return then

[lean plank]

when i print that? with the s on commands or without

command.check: [<function is_owner.<locals>.predicate at 0x7fa247167790>, <function has_permissions.<locals>.predicate at 0x7fa2471675e0>]
commands.check: <function check at 0x7fa24c8a9700>

[smoky sinew]

huh

[lean plank]

if i print either of those those are the results

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

class discord.ext.commands.Command(*args, **kwargs)```
A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

These are not created manually, instead they are created via the decorator or functional interface.

[vale wing]

@lean plank I doubt you can really get what permissions command needs to run with dpy. Maybe you can get all function decorators somehow and extract data from there, let me check

!d inspect.getsource seems like a possible way

[unkempt canyon]

inspect.getsource

inspect.getsource(object)```
Return the text of the source code for an object. The argument may be a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object. The source code is returned as a single string. An [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") is raised if the source code cannot be retrieved.

Changed in version 3.3: [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") is raised instead of [`IOError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#IOError "IOError"), now an alias of the former.

[lean plank]

thanks

[steep marsh]

I'm currently trying to make a "dad jokes" command, and when I run the command in my server the bot answers: 403.

May someone help me out?

        if response.status == 200:
            data = await response.json()
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"**{data['setup']}**\n\n||{data['punchline']}||")
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"{response.status}")

[golden portal]

the response.status says 403, it means forbidden, you dont have credentials, kinda unrelated to discord.py

[steep marsh]

ahh alright, thank you

Bot isn't sending message and not getting data from database if a person gets mentioned who is in the database.

No errors and no returns when printing/sending the data.

[vale wing]

Does the listener even react to messages

[vital glacier]

on_message

so yes, it does

[vale wing]

There's some stuff

1. Weird stuff, how are you trying to access data[0][2] and only check if data afterwards?
2. This construction should be inversed

if data:
    ...
else:
    return

# to
if not data:
    return
...```

[slate swan]

Hello

[naive briar]

Cat

[slate swan]

[vital glacier]

How do you mean, how am I trying to access data?

Im getting the data from data = await cursor.fetchall()

And then I'm getting the timestamp from the database

Which is data[0][2]

[vale wing]

You would get IndexError if you would try to access an element of an empty list

data is a list I presume?

[vital glacier]

It isn't empty

[vale wing]

Then why even check for it

[vital glacier]

What do you mean

I need to get the data from the table, dont it?

[vale wing]

Yes

[vital glacier]

That part works, it's the part with the mention.id that doesn't work

The first part isn't the problem

It's from here:

        if message.mentions:
            for mention in message.mentions:
                await cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM afk WHERE user_id = ?', (mention.id,))
                data = await cursor.fetchall()
                await message.channel.send(f'**{mention}** is currently **AFK**: {data[0][1]} - {time} ago')

That part doesn't work. The for loop works because it prints the mention if i do print(message.mentions)

[vale wing]

Maybe only send a message for first mention? Just for security reasons, if someone mention-spams your bot might start spamming in the channel

[vital glacier]

Wouldn't work

It'll only send the message if the entry is in the database

it's my AFK listener

[vale wing]

Yeah I know

[vital glacier]

so it's checking for people in the afk table

if they aren't in the table and they get mentioned, it wont send the message

[vale wing]

But still case when attacker pings specifically people with AFKs set is possible, potential security vulnerability

[vital glacier]

Not really

But that isn't the problem

Let's focus on the problem that I came here for instead of trying to solve other stuff that isn't needed

[vale wing]

You need to check it in a different way

data = await cursor.execute("SELECT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM afk WHERE user_id = ?)", (user_id,))
exists = (await data.fetchone())[0]
if exists:
    await send(...)```

[vital glacier]

Let me see if this works

[vale wing]

Actually would be better if you made a single query but sqlite probably can't do that

[vital glacier]

Also, the [0] is the row right?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[vital glacier]

so that would be [1] then

since I'm trying to get 1

[vale wing]

EXISTS returns 1 if the row exists, 0 if doesn't

[vale wing]

No wait

It's the value

[vital glacier]

Yeah i need the second value from the table

so for me it goes: user_id, status, timestamp

[vale wing]

I don't remember how correctly it's named in aiosqlite

[vital glacier]

and i need status

[vale wing]

You don't select *, you select EXISTS(...), it is a single value

Look at the query

[vital glacier]

Ah

I tried what you said, didn't work though

Still nothing

[vale wing]

It might be fetchrow instead of fetchone

[quick gust]

fetchone returns the first row afaik

fetchall returns all the rows

[vale wing]

Yeah I just don't remember how it is named in aiosqlite

[quick gust]

in aiosqlite itll probably return a list of tuples

I see

[vital glacier]

Still nothing

The way I did it should've worked because I've used it before

In my old on_message code it worked, but something else was broken and it was pretty messy code. hence why i'm rewriting it.

But it did send me the message and data etc.

https://mystb.in/OutsourcingHawkDish

This is the old code I used. The message.mentions stuff worked on that code.

[vital glacier]

This is with the old code

[quick gust]

can u try printing what await db.fetchval("<query>") returns? Instead of await db.execute? I can't remember what it does but I remember that's a method

[vital glacier]

I'm sorry what

[quick gust]

never mind you're using the cursor object

[vital glacier]

Yeah I know

[quick gust]

for mention in message.mentions:
    print(await cursor.fetchval("YOUR QUERY HERE")) 

[vital glacier]

What is my query tho

I've never used query in aiosqlite

[quick gust]

SELECT...

[vital glacier]

oh, the select thing

right ok 1sec then

[quick gust]

yep that's called a query

[vital glacier]

Oh had no idea

[quick gust]

Now you know :)

[quick gust]

try it with this query by the way

[vital glacier]

yeah it's not even letting put the fetchval in properly, it's erroring in the edi

ide*

Nevermind

[quick gust]

weird, the method doesn't exist then I guess that's my bad

[vital glacier]

Nothing is being sent from the fetchval query thing

Hence what makes it very odd

[quick gust]

strange

[vital glacier]

mhm

[quick gust]

sorry can't help you right now omw home

[vital glacier]

that's alright

just hoping someone can help me to fix this

because it's very odd why it isn't working

[quick gust]

are u sure you're not using a method on your cursor before this? You can only use it once

[timid spade]

i have been using this button every time i have to stop code
is there a better way in which you dont have to kill terminal?
i tried using the shortcut to stop code but didnt work

[vital glacier]

As far as I'm aware, yes

[flat pier]

A. close it through an eval command with bot.close (cleanly closes the bot)
B. close it with ctrl + c in the terminal
or C. I'm pretty sure vsc has a "stop" button when you run code through it

there's also a handful of other ways to stop your running code depending on how you run it or if you use a process manager, etc, etc

[vital glacier]

SOLVED

[timid spade]

ah thanks
i was running with code runner and for some reason it couldnt stop it
ctrl + c worked

[drifting wadi]

Hey guys, how do I install Socks if I have already done pip install socks and it's still giving me error saying " module not found - socks "

[rugged shadow]

should i use disnake, pycord, or discord.py

[naive briar]

discord.py

[peak acorn]

Yes, discord.py, by far
I didn't even hear about what is "disnake"

[slate swan]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[shrewd apex]

discord.py if noob else disnake

[rugged shadow]

shouldn't it be the other way around though

discord.py's slash command interface is more complex than disnake's

[shrewd apex]

discord.py has a bigger community more tutorial while disnake offers more modularity and feature wise its structured very nicely as well

con is u have to read everything from the docs and make it urself

use hikari if u wanna go next level

[bright wedge]

Take it as an example: if you don't know math you'll use the math library, if you know math you don't need the library. (The same goes for discord.py - disnake libraries).

[naive briar]

I mean, even if you know math, you would often still use the math library out of convenience 🍨

[bright wedge]

Get the point of example

[shrewd fjord]

Sup guyz

[naive umbra]

i dont see how that's a con lol

98% of the dpy "tutorials" you see are outdated

relying on the docs is a pro

[thin raft]

discord.py docs is goated

[slate swan]

True.

I use math library despite being proficient at it.

[naive briar]

Why would you watch tutorials in the first place

Especially YouTube tutorials

[naive umbra]

i mean there are up-to-date tutorials too but they get outdated quite quick

some people learn better when they can get a visual representation of something, than just reading, i know for a fact that i do 🤷‍♂️

but i still use docs and src code

[thin raft]

maybe get better at reading?

[naive umbra]

yeah, something i train on

[vale wing]

Not really, math module "wraps" math, while discord.py and disnake both wrap discord API

[vale wing]

It's not about visual representation, it's about ready code 🤓 or people who prefer to listen to something instead of reading it

In videos they should be explaining some stuff that might not be explained in docs/articles, but specifically for discord.py I have seen many showing discouraged practices which is a problem

[naive umbra]

yeah that can sometimes be seen by beginners too

i'll give an example, i'm currently taking the CCNA certificate, all the resources are written - it is extremely technical with many jargons. i started watching videos instead and it certainly helped me to better understand the theory

but this is quite unrelated to discord.py, i feel like anyone should learn the way they know they'll learn the best. docs and src codes are almost always up to date so it's the best resource someone can have access too, videos is a great alternative to beginners who have harder times understanding technically written documentation

[vale wing]

Extremely technical tutorials are created by experienced people with education, that's the difference from dpy

[naive briar]

🍿

[vale wing]

Popcorne

Nah I am not into argument, I totally agree with him

[naive umbra]

there is a reason to why dpy discourages beginners to code in dpy

[peak acorn]

Meta question but: why can't we put reactions on messages in this specific channel?
It is possible on every other channels in "Topical Chat/Help" section so I don't get the logic.
It is also almost the only one to have slowdown mode activated.

Ok slow mode is configured for 5 seconds so it's fine, but I think it's useful to put reactions on messages like 👍 or 👎

[naive umbra]

#python-discussion and #discord-bots are the two most active channels iirc, allowing emoji reactions could be prone to spam

and you should ask in #community-meta for more

[peak acorn]

Oh this channel is more active than the others?

[peak acorn]

Thanks, I was looking for such a channel

[naive briar]

Earth

Aw

[naive briar]

I don't think so

[velvet compass]

Its the second most active behind #python-discussion

[naive briar]

Hmmm, I guess I'm not active enough to notice

[golden portal]

TIL

i guess a lot of ppl wants to dev discord bots

[humble gulch]

Can u give tutorial for making a bot in python? (I started python 3 days ago so please, I'm a noob)

[slate swan]

guys, i noticed that when an array have only intergets i can't use range

what do i use instead?

[naive briar]

What

[slate swan]

i'm planning to use the number of indexes as a range for my while

like this:

                    #then it will be calculated the sum and subtraction
                    print("calculating rest")
                    if indice[cont-1] == "+":
                        sub_total = sub_total + store[count]
                    elif indice[cont-1] == "-":
                        sub_total = sub_total - store[count]
                    count = count+1
                indice.pop(all)
                store.pop(all)```

[humble gulch]

anyone help? PLEASE

[slate swan]

can someone please help me with my bot i made some simple embed message commands but i have no idea how to combine my script with another
i want to make a command that when i type csc ltc [my litecoin adress] to send how much money it received and how much money it send

import requests

address = "typetheadresshereplsplsplspls"

api_url = f"https://api.blockcypher.com/v1/ltc/main/addrs/{address}/full"

response = requests.get(api_url)

txs = response.json()['txs']

total_received = 0
total_spent = 0

for tx in txs:
    for output in tx['outputs']:
        if output['addresses'] == [address]:
            total_received += output['value']
    for input in tx['inputs']:
        if input['addresses'] == [address]:
            total_spent += input['output_value']

# Print the results
print(f"Total received: {total_received / 1e8} LTC")
print(f"Total spent: {total_spent / 1e8} LTC")

i have this code and idk how to turn it into a command

[silk bridge]

Anyone can tell how to make a discord music bot plz

[humble gulch]

i have a frnd who made it DM ME

[slate swan]

guys, when i try this this error occours with me:
list index out of range

code:

for cont_ ,num in enumerate(store):
                    #first it will calculate the division thing
                    if indice[cont_-1] == "/":
                        print("calculating /")
                        sub_total = store[cont_-1] / num
                        del indice[cont_-1]
                        del store[cont_]
                        del store[cont_-1]
                        pivot = cont_-1
                        while indice[pivot] == "*":
                            sub_total = sub_total * store[pivot]
                            del indice[pivot]
                            del store[pivot]
                        pivot = cont_
                        while indice[pivot] == "*":
                            sub_total = sub_total * store[pivot]
                            del indice[pivot]
                            del store[pivot]
                        store.append(sub_total)
                        indice.append("+")
                        sub_total = 0

the code works until while

then when it reaches while the code gives me that output

[vale wing]

Oh no

Is this another thing

Or still that one with dices

@slate swan

[slate swan]

this is another thing

the dice are working

now i'm working on a function that calcultate the total

[vale wing]

Of dices?

[slate swan]

yep, first calculate division then multiplication then sum and subtraction

[naive briar]

It shouldn't be that huge

[vale wing]

Definitely

Yesterday we shortened down similar amount of code to one line

[slate swan]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/nuxuyojufe

[vale wing]

@slate swan so input you have is a list of lists and you need to calculate what?

[slate swan]

i need to calculate the result of the dices into the total result
like 2d6[1][5][6]*1d5[4]/2 = 12

the sum and subtractio part is working

but the division seems problematic

[vale wing]

Uh what kind of formula you use

Dot product of sums of outcomes divided by two or something

[slate swan]

this:
sub_total = store[cont_-1] / num

like it gets the previous number and divide by the actual number

then it pops the both numbers and check if there is * in the previous expression from indice

if yes it multiplicate

but doesn't seems to work

it also do the same for next numberszx

*numbers

[slate swan]

but i guess this thing can helps me

[vale wing]

🧐

I have very little knowledge in probability theory, is it from there

[naive briar]

Sounds like #algos-and-data-structs things

[slate swan]

it don't need, all that is need is to calculate the numbers

[harsh pier]

can you not use elif?

[steep marsh]

You could

[thorny flint]

Guys, I need some opinions!
Which of the discord py wrappers is best/do you use and why?
• disnake
• discord.py
• NAFF
• interactions.py
• nextcord
• hikari
• others?

[daring locust]

discord.py

its the one i found

btw has anyone tried making a chess discord bot yet?

seems like a fun project

[slate swan]

I've not tried, could be much fun, there are a few out there already

[ancient elk]

What's the best approach to getting my discord bot to ping users at random times during the day

[thorny flint]

discord.py is basically also the first one that was made

[ancient elk]

I've already got the pinging system down by users registering with a slash command but the scheduling is really tricky

[slate swan]

I've only really used discord.py. I have never had any real issues with it, and it has a very active support server.

[thorny flint]

That's also the one I'm currently using.

[daring locust]

ok
make c h e s s v a r i a n t

[slate swan]

chess960 bot 🙀

[slate swan]

i find hikari the best out of these
discord.py and Disnake are also nice, tho Disnake is just a fork

[thorny flint]

why?

[slate swan]

it's much more low level than discord.py and other libraries, you have more control over the ecosystem
it also supports rest apps for applications like a bot dashboard or an API

[thorny flint]

it looks confusing to understand

[slate swan]

what about it seems confusing lol

if you're gonna start with keeping your discord.py stuff in mind it will for sure be confusing

[thorny flint]

I have used NAFF before too which is also an independent wrapper from dpy

[slate swan]

their design is mostly inspired by discord.py and they are completely open about that lol

read their GitHub readme

Discord.py fork?
While this library shares features and some stylistic choices with discord.py, it is completely separate from them. We think discord.py is a fantastic library, but we disagree with the direction and design decisions that were made by it

[quick gust]

take a look at this https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

[idle plume]

Hey all, how can I store my bot token in a seperate file and pull it into bot.run

[velvet compass]

Take a look into .env (or dotenv) files to store environment variables

!pypi python-dotenv

[unkempt canyon]

python-dotenv v0.21.1

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

[idle plume]

here (#1075839125795655870 message) someone said to use a .py, whats the difference?

[thin raft]

(I said to use a .py because you explicitly told how to store the token in a file)

[idle plume]

yeah I mean a .env is also a file though im wondering why use that over a regular .py

im gonna ask bing

[thin raft]

not bing

its not an error

and it literally tells you

[slate swan]

Hey, I'm trying to make my button create a text channel like a ticket but am unsure how to create the channel in the class?

class OrderChannel(discord.ui.View):

    @discord.ui.button(label="Order Now!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
    async def order(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button:discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.create_text_channel(interaction.author.name)

AttributeError: 'InteractionResponse' object has no attribute 'create_text_channel'

[fading marlin]

!d discord.Interaction.guild you need the guild object to create the channel, create_text_channel isn't a response method

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.guild

property guild```
The guild the interaction was sent from.

[finite holly]

Im using pycord. How i can use slash commands in cogs?

[unkempt canyon]

All inventories (`45` total)

• aiohttp
• arcade
• arrow
• asciimatics
• asyncpg
• asyncpraw
• attr

Page 1/7

[finite holly]

!slash

[slate swan]

envs are not limited to .env files, it can use any environmental variable located in your device, you can setup your token variable in a linux environment easily using export TOKEN="your token" and access it using os.getenv("TOKEN") in your program

[white vale]

not yet but that sounds like a good idea

[young dagger]

Should I use while to repeat a block of code if a certain condition is true?

        if len(queue) > 0 and len(current_players) < 10:
            while len(queue) > 0 and len(current_players) < 10:

                next_player = queue.popleft()  # Get the next player in the queue and remove them from the deque
                current_players.append(next_player)```

This will keep repeating the process of adding players to current_players as long as there are players in the queue and current_players has fewer than 10 players right?

[keen cloak]

How do i get kick command for mt bot

[rare echo]

well i was going to get documentation but

why make a kick command? its already integrated into discord

[keen cloak]

bc i want to make it for my bot

[rare echo]

!d discord.Member.kick

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.kick

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

Kicks this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.kick()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.kick "discord.Guild.kick").

[slate swan]

i'm trying to make a bot command that allows me to reset bots but it's not working:

or better, it's showing those error messages

syntax erroes

[slate swan]

that's what i received:
PS C:\Users\Gabriel\Desktop\projetos python\RP Utilities> python: can't open file 'c:\Users\Gabriel\Desktop\projetos': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

using this:

os.execv(sys.executable, ['python'] + sys.argv)

[oak oar]

try this if you mean that your trying to restart the code:

os.execl(sys.executable, sys.executable, *sys.argv)

[slate swan]

PS C:\Users\Gabriel\Desktop\projetos python\RP Utilities> C:\Users\Gabriel\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe: can't open file 'c:\Users\Gabriel\Desktop\projetos': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[oak oar]

os.execlp('RP Utilities', 'RP Utilities', "bot.py", *sys.argv)

this is assuming your main file is named bot.py

[slate swan]

can you use slash commands in dpy?

and any pointers would help cause youtube and google isnt :)

[naive briar]

YouTube tutorial moment

[naive briar]

Yes, there's a walkthrough in the pins

[slate swan]

👍

[winged coral]

Do you have a python file called discord.py ?

[slate swan]

no main.py

[winged coral]

Could you print(discord.__author__)

[slate swan]

in terminal?

or coding

[winged coral]

In your file

Right after the import discord

[slate swan]

if thats right

[winged coral]

Yeah did you try running that?

[slate swan]

i did

thats what it showed

[winged coral]

That's odd

Okay so open a cmd for me

Type in pip show discord.py

[slate swan]

i

[stray carbon]

Its not discord.Bot its commands.Bot from discord.ext extension

[slate swan]

this?

prolly not just asking

[stray carbon]

No

Dont nist copy paste what I said

You already have commands extension imported from discord.ext

[stray carbon]

Just have to replace discord.Bot with commands.Bot here

[slate swan]

same error

[stray carbon]

You didnt save the file.

[stray carbon]

Pass a prefix

[slate swan]

i can just add onto the intent line correct

[stray carbon]

Yes.

[stray carbon]

It is a positional arg so

bot = commands.Bot("!", intents=discord.Intents.all())

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intents=discord.Intents.all()) oh ok

[slate swan]

bruu

i have slash commands enabled

in dev portal

[stray carbon]

Mhm, in discord.py there isnt any slash_command decorator

For slash commands discord.py has @discord.app_commands.fommand and @bot.tree.command decorators

Maybe instead of copying someone's code you should read the docs.

[slate swan]

its my friends code he gave it to me and i have no discord.py only main.py

[stray carbon]

Meh, you should probably learn python basics and then discord.py

[slate swan]

i dont have time for that, I changed all to @discord.app_commands.command

[stray carbon]

Because you are doing it wrong

https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f
Read this guide.

[slate swan]

broo why cant u just tell me ill still read it tho

[stray carbon]

If you read it, you wont need to ask me

[slate swan]

if it wasnt in a cog it would be much easier

i really dont know what to put down lol

[naive briar]

There's no much difference

[slate swan]

im just confused

idk what to put to fix my error

[naive briar]

There's no guild_ids argument 🤷

!d discord.app_commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[slate swan]

i added

Bot.tree.copy_global_to(guild=guild)```

[slate swan]

thats what im using lol

[naive briar]

Where did you get that from, first of all

[slate swan]

thats what the dude told me to put thats all my coding besides the @discord.app_commands.command

she or him

you are using py-cord code and expecting it to work in discord.py

[slate swan]

so what do i do?

[slate swan]

read this

or check pins for a simpler guide

the code you have isnt even 10% functional in dpy

[graceful ermine]

Hey, so I don't know why, but for some reason my commands don't work and I get no errors in the console

and I think it might be my intents

is this correct?

[slate swan]

do you have an on_message event @graceful ermine ?

[graceful ermine]

Yes

[slate swan]

if yes, change the .event decorator to .listen()

with the brackets

[graceful ermine]

Okay

@slate swan

it was my anti spam

but it was doing the same thing when I tried to run my command

[slate swan]

it doesnt change the functionality of anything
event overrides the default callback and ghosts the command callbacks
using listen() just creates a new listener instead of overriding the default ones

so your old stuff will work + the commands will work as well

[graceful ermine]

Nvm it works

       
@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    author = message.author
    if author == bot.user:
        return
    if author in spammers:
        spammers[author] += 1
        if spammers[author] > SPAM_THRESHOLD:
            await message.channel.send(f"{author.mention} has been kicked for spamming.")
            await message.delete()
            spammers.pop(author)
        else:
            await message.channel.send(f"{author.mention} stop spamming!")
            await message.delete()
    else:
        spammers[author] = 1

    await asyncio.sleep(SPAM_TIMEFRAME)

this is my anti spam function

and when a bot logs something constantly

it keeps on saying stop spammingh

How could I make it stops saying that too a bot

[naive briar]

Someone already answered

[vale wing]

I wonder what kind of spam detection method this uses

[slate swan]

can anyone tell me why my security bot does not bans , kicks or punishes members while testing anti nuke commands

[smoky sinew]

no, nobody can tell you

you didn't even say anything

[fringe narwhal]

Hello, I have been experiencing some difficulties migrating to v2 can anyone help me figure out what is going on with the on_ready?

extending on @graceful ermine's bot, as helping in https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1075990389439336519:
I've noticed that muting users is commonly done via a muted role, but also sometimes via member.edit(mute=True). Is there reasons to prefer one over the other? edit seems easier

[graceful ermine]

Yeah I never new that existed

[graceful ermine]

Is there away that I could put a timer on that mute for like 10 minutes?

[vale wing]

!d exencolorlogs you can use this for logging instead of those prints

[unkempt canyon]

NEGATORY.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[vale wing]

!pypi exencolorlogs

[unkempt canyon]

exencolorlogs v1.1.1

A module for nice looking colored logs.

[vale wing]

I forget commands

@fringe narwhal ^ you can use this for logging instead of those prints

!d discord.Member.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

await edit(*, nick=..., mute=..., deafen=..., suppress=..., roles=..., voice_channel=..., timed_out_until=..., bypass_verification=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[golden portal]

mute=True refers to voice mute

[vale wing]

Second method is for voice I think

[golden portal]

tbh ppl should use timed_out_until instead of roles

[fringe narwhal]

okay, but is that the problem? because my bot runs and gives no errors but my prints do not show up to tell me that it is operating how i want it to

thank you for the colors tho

[bitter perch]

where is your client defined

[radiant bough]

await bot.load_extension("cogs.utility")

or something else?

[vale wing]

Some problems and resolutions

1. Run bot like this

bot = comnands.Bot(...)
bot.run(token)```
You don't even need async with construction
2. Do not use while loop in on_ready, instead use `tasks.loop`

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[vital glacier]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[fringe narwhal]

ive never used tasks.loop lol ive always done the on_ready that way

[vital glacier]

        if commands.has_permissions:
            e.add_field(name='Permissions', value=''))

how do i get what permission a command needs for a subclassed help command?

[fringe narwhal]

i think there is trouble with await client.start(os.getenv("TOKEN")) because it isnt printing "Ready" at all

[fringe narwhal]

import this: from discord.ext.commands import has_permissions
Use this for ctx: @has_permissions(kick_members=True)

[vital glacier]

That's not what I mean

It's for this:

    async def send_command_help(self, command: commands.Command):
        if not command.description:
            command.description = ''
        if not commands.parameters:
            commands.parameters = 'N/A'
        e = await self.help_embed(
            title=f'Command: {command.qualified_name}',
            description=command.short_doc
        )
        e.set_author(
            name=self.context.bot.user.name,
            icon_url=self.context.bot.user.avatar.url)
        e.set_footer(text=f'Module: {command.cog_name}')
        if command.aliases:
            e.add_field(name="Aliases", value=', '.join(command.aliases))
        if commands.parameters:
            e.add_field(name='Parameters', value=', '.join(command.params))
        if commands.has_permissions:
            e.add_field(name='Permissions', value=''))
        if command.usage:
            e.add_field(name="Usage", value=
                        f"```\nSyntax: {self.context.clean_prefix}{command.usage if command.usage else ''}\n"
                        f"Example: {self.context.clean_prefix}{command.qualified_name} {command.description if command.description else ''}```", inline=False)
        await self.get_destination().send(embed=e)

I'm subclassing my help command, but i need a field added which displays what permission you need for it

[fringe narwhal]

hmm

[vital glacier]

I doubt I can really get what permissions command needs to run with dpy. Maybe I can get all function decorators somehow and extract data from there, let me check

!d inspect.getsource seems like a possible way

[unkempt canyon]

inspect.getsource

inspect.getsource(object)```
Return the text of the source code for an object. The argument may be a module, class, method, function, traceback, frame, or code object. The source code is returned as a single string. An [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") is raised if the source code cannot be retrieved.

Changed in version 3.3: [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") is raised instead of [`IOError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#IOError "IOError"), now an alias of the former.

[vital glacier]

yeah

I guess i can try that ngl

[fringe narwhal]

you are more experienced than me i think

ive figured it out!!!

i have an error now tho:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Classified", line 409, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "c:\Users\Classified", line 52, in on_ready
    client.remove_command("help")
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'remove_command'

client has always worked for this 😄

idk why it doesnt 😄

what am i doing wrong????

[radiant bough]

hex for invisible embed?

or the embed color which matches with discord bg

[vital glacier]

0x2b2d31

Discord updated their looks again

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.remove_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.remove\_command

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

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

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

[naive briar]

This is only for the discord.ext.commands.Bot class

Not discord.Client

[fringe narwhal]

lol this stuff changed from back when

[naive briar]

You have to setup logging yourself if you're using that method to start

It's not changed at all

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @fringe narwhal! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discord.com/developers/applications

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[fringe narwhal]

i chnaged it:

try:
    client.run("TOKEN")
except discord.errors.LoginFailure as e:
    print(f"Token is invalid: {e}")

Code:
Main file: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/cemuwuwohu
Commands file: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/weyirixoho
Error: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/rinogadusi

[naive briar]

Why are you using discord_slash

And the error means exactly what it says

[unkempt mauve]

what else can I use

for cogs

[naive briar]

Just use discord.py's

!d discord.app_commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[unkempt mauve]

cogs?

[naive briar]

Yes?

[unkempt mauve]

I was already using this damn thing but I want to put commands in each py file

[naive briar]

Then use it

[unkempt mauve]

bruh

[naive briar]

What's the problem

[unkempt mauve]

I just can't put everything in one file

it makes the code messy

[naive briar]

Is that have anything to do with it

[unkempt mauve]

like in commands folder I will put all of my commands and then in the main file it will run the commands

cogs it is called

[vale wing]

Doesn't mean it is a good way. on_ready can get called multiple times, so you will have multiple loops doing the same thing which is pointless

[naive briar]

And?

[vale wing]

Ok I will try to provide further assistance on this

[fringe narwhal]

point taken, i appreciate the suggestion

[unkempt mauve]

bro r u joking

didn't you get what I meant?

[vital glacier]

yeah nah

i saw the thing you told my friend yesterday

gonna look into it inna sec

just tryna figure out something else rn. also a problem with my help cmd

[naive briar]

I already answered it

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

class ACog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @app_commands.command()
    async def command(self, inter):
        ...

Is it really that hard

[unkempt mauve]

you confused me with your answers -_-

[vital glacier]

trying to change my help help embed to the subclassed send_command_help embed. but i can't figure out how to change my help help embed because there is no command i can change the look of it. just my subclassed and mapped help command code. but that doesn't include my help command.

if u have no idea what that meant, lmk and i'll show u lmfao

[unkempt mauve]

okay I did it now why the heck can't I run the bot

bot.run() not working

[naive briar]

Be specific

[vital glacier]

which one

thanks LMFAO

multipurpose

real

im getting there, its just checking what i needa do for it

but i got friends who can help me lmfao

real

[vale wing]

@vital glacier so basically you need to get the function source first and use regex search on it

!e ```py
import re
deco_pat = re.compile(r"@.(?!bot_)has_permissions(.)")
perm_pat = re.compile(r"([a-z_]+)=True")

source = """@commands.command()
@checks.has_permissions(ban_members=True, manage_guild=True)
async def func(...):
...
"""

perm_deco = re.search(deco_pat, source).group()
print(perms := re.findall(perm_pat, perm_deco))```

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['ban_members', 'manage_guild']

[vital glacier]

and that's for every single cmd?

or can i do it get the src for all the commands and then return the permissions?

[vale wing]

That's the only way you can determine the permissions I think

Yeah but do it only for the commands user needs in help ig

What's the point of doing it for all of them

[vital glacier]

ah, alright

[vital glacier]

also, any idea how i make this work?

[vale wing]

And you can get source via inspect.getsource

[vital glacier]

trying to change my help help embed to the subclassed send_command_help embed. but i can't figure out how to change my help help embed because there is no command i can change the look of it. just my subclassed and mapped help command code. but that doesn't include my help command.

[golden portal]

so basically you just wanna set the contents of help command similar to other commands?

for example you wanna set the usage?

[vital glacier]

yeah

and aliases etc

basically the help embed needs to be the same for the help

[golden portal]

set it to HelpCommand.command_attrs
you can see it here
https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/b78488fb28cadf279dfd3164b9f0cf96#command_attrs

[vital glacier]

yeah see

that makes 0 sense to me, i read that like 3 times and my brain keeps drawing blanks there

Oooh wait, i see

[golden portal]

hmm, which part is confusing?

[vital glacier]

wait let me try

ok now the next problem, i have my subclassed and mapped help command in my information cog, where would i need to put the attrs' then?

[golden portal]

could set it in your init, could do it in your help command constructor

etc

class MyHelp(commands.HelpCommand):
    def __init__(self):
        attrs = {'aliases': ['helps'], 'help': 'very long docs here'}
        super().__init__(command_attrs=attrs)

[vital glacier]

so here would work?

[golden portal]

you could also set it there yea, Help(command_attrs=attrs)

[vital glacier]

ok let me test it out, if i cant figure it out i'll let u know

[golden portal]

oke :3

[vital glacier]

@golden portal i love u, u are the best

[golden portal]

welcome

[vital glacier]

thank you for explaining that properly and helping me properly 🤝

[golden portal]

hehe yea, perhaps that command attrs part in the gist need to be shorten since people get confused on it

[vital glacier]

either that or they need to make something like: changing the standard on_command_help help embed

something like that could help a lot too

[golden portal]

i suppose

[rugged shadow]

connect to db on setup hook or on ready?

[golden portal]

setup_hook, dont do it in on_ready, it fires multiple time in the bot's lifecycle

[rugged shadow]

ok thanks

[unkempt mauve]

for filename in os.listdir('./commands'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        await bot.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')```

it's showing red waves and not loading commands

[rugged shadow]

wait i just realized disnake doesn't have setup_hook

what's the equivalent of setup hook in disnake

[golden portal]

i dont use disnake sorry

[rugged shadow]

ah that's fine

[vital glacier]

right so, i got another question right. how do i make it so if i do a command with a parameter, it'll send me the on_command_help or on_group_help embed?

[golden portal]

im a bit confuse elaborate? you mean send_command_help, send_group_help right?

[vital glacier]

yeah sorry

those are the ones i meant indeed

[naive briar]

You'd have to make your own async setup then call the .start

At least that's what I would do

[vale wing]

^

Or overwrite the start

[rugged shadow]

async def main() -> None:
    bot = Rulebot()
    await bot.connect_to_db()
    await bot.start(os.environ["TOKEN"])

something like this?

[vale wing]

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    async def start(self, *args, **kwargs):
        ... # do setup
        await super().start(*args, **kwargs)```

[golden portal]

i mean, help command already invoke those automatically when you do help command/help group, not sure what you're asking exactly

[rugged shadow]

why is it before calling the base start function

oh yeah

nvm mb

[vale wing]

Because code after it does not run

[vital glacier]

ok wait, let me show u what i mean.

i mean like this

how do i make it do that, when i just type the prefix and command that it'll send me the help command/help group embed

without any params

[golden portal]

oh. so if there is a missing required argument, you send the help?

[vital glacier]

yeah i guess

[golden portal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send_help you may use this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.send\_help

await send_help(entity=<bot>)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Shows the help command for the specified entity if given. The entity can be a command or a cog.

If no entity is given, then it’ll show help for the entire bot.

If the entity is a string, then it looks up whether it’s a [`Cog`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog "discord.ext.commands.Cog") or a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command").

Note

Due to the way this function works, instead of returning something similar to [`command_not_found()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.command_not_found "discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.command_not_found") this returns `None` on bad input or no help command.

[golden portal]

and then do this inside your command error, just handle MissingRequiredArgument

[vital glacier]

huh

ok hold up

could i make it so, on_command_error(self, error: MissingRequiredArgument):
and then await send_help

or how would that work

[golden portal]

nop its an event for all errors occurred in text commands

Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling
Example: https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

if you see the example, you may just do this in your command error event ```py
if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
await ctx.send_help(ctx.command)

[unkempt mauve]

Code: ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

class MyCommands(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
@app_commands.commands(name="mycommand", description="This is my command.")
async def my_command(self, interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("Hello, world!")

def setup(bot):
bot.add_cog(MyCommands(bot))

Error: `Failed to load extension hello.py: Extension 'commands.hello' raised an error: TypeError: 'module' object is not callable`

[golden portal]

the decorator would be @app_commands.command(...), its not plural

[unkempt mauve]

Failed to load extension hello.py: Extension 'commands.hello' raised an error: TypeError: parameter 'interaction' is missing a type annotation in callback 'MyCommands.__init__.<locals>.my_command' does it need interaction: discord.Interaction?

[golden portal]

nope, that happens because you create the slash command inside __init__, which makes it think self as the discord.Interaction, interaction as the argument, just dedent it

[steep marsh]

How did you get the author title ??

I'm trying to do that but it wouldn't work due to the url. Not sure if I am doing it wrong

[golden portal]

also, bot.add_cog and setup should be async

[olive epoch]

hey helpers

import discord
import asyncio

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

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

async def send_message():
    await client.wait_until_ready() # wait until the bot is ready
    channel = client.get_channel(931974039650598925) # replace with the ID of the channel where you want to send the message
    while not client.is_closed():
        await channel.send('Hello, world!') # replace with the message you want to send
        await asyncio.sleep(5) # replace with the number of seconds you want to wait before sending the message again

        client.loop.create_task(send_message()) # create a task that sends the message

client.run('your_bot_token') # replace your_bot_token with the token of your Discord bot

i got no error but the code isn't working

[steep marsh]

Do you have your bot-token placed in: client.run ?

[olive epoch]

yeah

[steep marsh]

ok

[olive epoch]

i got no error but function isn't working

[unkempt mauve]

  bot.add_cog(MyCommands(bot))
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
Failed to load extension hello.py: Extension 'commands.hello' raised an error: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression```

[vocal snow]

Where are you calling send_message?

[unkempt mauve]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
class MyCommands(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        @app_commands.command(name="mycommand", description="This is my command.")
        async def my_command(self):
            await self.response.send_message("Hello, world!")
async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MyCommands(bot))

[golden portal]

error doesnt match code, did you save it? also again, my_command definition need to be dedent so its apart of the class

[olive epoch]

i didn't get your point

[unkempt mauve]

it clearly says in hello.py, line 14, it was never awaited

[vocal snow]

where are you running the function?

[olive epoch]

on replit

[vocal snow]

what]

in your code

[golden portal]

the error clearly says ```py
bot.add_cog(MyCommands(bot))

not ```py
  await bot.add_cog(MyCommands(bot))
``` like your current code is

[vocal snow]

where are you executing the function

[golden portal]

hence, it doesnt match your code

[unkempt mauve]

then why am i getting this

its saying the problem is in hello.py

[olive epoch]

to send automatic messsage in channel i selected of my server

[golden portal]

did you save it

[vocal snow]

have you used functions in python before??

[olive epoch]

very less i am new in discord.py library

[steep marsh]

i love coding guys

[vocal snow]

ok so you should learn about functions first

discord.py is not easy library if you are python beginner

[olive epoch]

aah would you tell me what should i edit in code i will try to understand why

i know its difficlt

[vocal snow]

you need to call the send_message function somewhere

so it will actually be executed

[olive epoch]

ok thanks

[steep marsh]

For beginners, I recommend using client commands

[vital glacier]

yeah i cant seem to figure this one out

[golden portal]

what have you tried so far

[olive epoch]

ok i will learn about it

[vital glacier]

pretty much all the things that can call a bad/missingrequired argument

[steep marsh]

It's the easiest than coding for slash commands.

floweryy, how long did it take for you to get the 'active dev?'

for 30 days?

[olive epoch]

ohh i understood thanks

[radiant bough]

Hex for discord.Colour.dark_theme?

[steep marsh]

Yeah of course. Client commands are more for, ' !help '

[vocal snow]

is the issue that the if statement is not executing?

[olive epoch]

ok thnx

[steep marsh]

Any time. Best of luck

[vital glacier]

Genuinely no idea, i suck with error handlers

[vocal snow]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612#file-error_handler-py-L49

[unkempt canyon]

error_handler.py line 49

error = getattr(error, 'original', error)```

[vocal snow]

Ensure you have this line, since some errors are wrapped in CommandInvokeError

[vital glacier]

I do

I basically copied that for the on_command_error handler rq

[unkempt mauve]

why isnt it registering slash cmds

[golden portal]

whats your code essentially?

[golden portal]

as i said, you need to dedent that function, so its apart of your class

[steep marsh]

what is the problem?

[unkempt mauve]

docs

gib

[vital glacier]

The thing from EvieePy's gist and then the little part u sent me to see if it would've worked

[golden portal]

its fundamental OOP with scope, indentation is one of the first thing you learn

its not really in dpy docs

[golden portal]

and how did you write it? i just wanna see it

[vital glacier]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        # This prevents any commands with local handlers being handled here in on_command_error.
        if hasattr(ctx.command, 'on_error'):
            return

        # This prevents any cogs with an overwritten cog_command_error being handled here.
        cog = ctx.cog
        if cog:
            if cog._get_overridden_method(cog.cog_command_error) is not None:
                return

        ignored = (commands.CommandNotFound, )

        # Allows us to check for original exceptions raised and sent to CommandInvokeError.
        # If nothing is found. We keep the exception passed to on_command_error.
        error = getattr(error, 'original', error)

        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredAttachment):
            await ctx.send_help(ctx.command)

but i assume i did it wrong anyway cus i suck with error handlers lmfao

[golden portal]

MissingRequiredAttachment is for your attachments, it should be MissingRequiredArgument

[vital glacier]

Oh wait, i didnt change that back lmfao

Still doesn't work though

[golden portal]

perhaps you have a local error handler with the command?

[vital glacier]

wait let me test smth rq

[golden portal]

because thats what this line is doing ```py
if hasattr(ctx.command, 'on_error'):
return

[vital glacier]

nah, i dont have any error handlers as far as im aware

[unkempt canyon]

@vital glacier Per Rule 6, your invite link has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

Our server rules can be found here: https://pythondiscord.com/pages/rules

[vital glacier]

oh shi sec

i had this tho, but i removed it:

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        user = ctx.author
        guild = ctx.guild
        channel = ctx.channel
        timestamp = round(ctx.message.created_at.timestamp())
        code = random_string(13)
        async with self.bot.database.cursor() as db:
            await db.execute('SELECT * FROM errors')
            data = await db.fetchall()
            if not data:
                error_id = 1
            else:
                error_id = len(data) + 1
            await db.execute(
                'INSERT INTO errors (id, member, guild, channel, timestamp, code, error) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)',
                (error_id, user.id, guild.id, channel.id, timestamp, code, str(error)))
            await self.bot.database.commit()
            await ctx.success(f'An error occurred while invoking command **{ctx.invoked_with}**. Report this using the reference code `{code}` in our [support server]().')

but that's for my traceback command

and even without that, it doesnt work

and i dont have any other error handlers in my files

[golden portal]

can you put prints in there to see if its even getting invoked

[vital glacier]

in this one?

[golden portal]

[vital glacier]

where would i put that print tho

like i said, im real bad with error handling and debugging stuff like this lmfao

or does it not matter

[quick gust]

put it at the start of your function

[quick gust]

debugging is half the job of being a programmer, it's really useful to learn it

[golden portal]

like, basically parts where there could be a potential stop rly, best to be thorough

[vital glacier]

so under every if statement and under the ignored?

[vital glacier]

yeah i know but i cant seem to pick it up properly

[quick gust]

its easy, just add print statements every so often leaving a few lines to see where the code actually errors, as flowery said

[golden portal]

mhm its a rule of thumb really

[vital glacier]

Only error i'm getting from my ban command tha ti just ran is: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'top_role'

and that was the same one that I had when i was using my traceback error thing

[quick gust]

then member is None

can you show the code?

[vital glacier]

of the ban command?

[quick gust]

yep

that's what you're trying to fix right?

[vital glacier]

well, im tryna make it so it sends the help command/group help when i type a command without parameters

so for instance if i type ,ban it will send the ,help ban embed

Ah see that was indeed the problem

[quick gust]

can you try removing
error = getattr(error, 'original', error)

[vital glacier]

It was because member: discord.Member = None

[quick gust]

this line

[vital glacier]

because now it works

[quick gust]

oh you set a default value for member

[vital glacier]

yeah cus i was rewriting my code

[quick gust]

thats great

[vital glacier]

and prob left it

[quick gust]

mhm

[slate swan]

Beans

[vital glacier]

How can i convert a guild id into the guild name?

i assume through the discord api?

or is there a different way?

[golden portal]

i guess bot.get_guild/bot.fetch_guild

then just guild.name

[vital glacier]

oh bet

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Client.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_guild

get_guild(id, /)```
Returns a guild with the given ID.

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

[shrewd fjord]

Hm xd

[fringe narwhal]

what does positional-only mean?

for example:

discord.ext.commands.Bot.remove_command(help)

Prompts this error:

discord.ext.commands.Bot.remove_command(help)
TypeError: BotBase.remove_command() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'

[vital glacier]

i've got a prefix with database integration in my bot, but i want to make it so even when i mention the bot, it'll also act as a prefix

[fringe narwhal]

hmmmm

[vital glacier]

oh welp

[fringe narwhal]

!d discord.app_commands.AppCommand.mention

maybe

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned\_or

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

These are meant to be passed into the [`Bot.command_prefix`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix "discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix") attribute.

Example

```py
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'))
```...

[fringe narwhal]

@vital glacier

[vital glacier]

yeah i had that

but that didnt work ithink because of my custom prefix with db

[fringe narwhal]

I had that going at one point before ive been dealing with v2 but its definitely possible

[vital glacier]

let me test it again

[naive briar]

func(value)
#    ^^^^^ --- positional argument

func(keyword=value)
#    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ --- keyword argument

[naive briar]

Do you know what instances are

[fringe narwhal]

an event

something happened

[vital glacier]

Yeah it doesn't work because of my DB i think

[fringe narwhal]

Old code of mine, but this is a good example i think:

def get_prefix(client, message):
    with open('data.json','r') as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    try:
        return data[str(message.guild.id)]['server_prefix']
    except:
        return 'z!'


intents = discord.Intents.all()
client = discord.Client(command_prefix=get_prefix, intents=intents)

[vital glacier]

im not using json

i'm using aiosqlite

[fringe narwhal]

its the same logic though

[naive briar]

What didn't work

[naive briar]

Show code

[vital glacier]

of what do u want the code

the prefix handler in my main file or?

async def prefix(bot, ctx):
    async with bot.database.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute('SELECT prefix FROM prefix WHERE guild_id = ?', (ctx.guild.id,))
            data = await cursor.fetchone()
            if data:
                prefix = str(data[0])
            if not data:
                prefix = ','
            return prefix

and I had this

bot = Bot(
    intents=discord.Intents.all(),
    command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(prefix),
    case_insensitive=True,
    owner_ids=[566434977093386258, 323118319144271872]
)

but those 2 dont work together

[naive briar]

Read the docs, there's an example about this

[vital glacier]

There is?

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned\_or

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

These are meant to be passed into the [`Bot.command_prefix`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix "discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix") attribute.

Example

```py
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'))
```...

[fringe narwhal]

i showed him that

[naive briar]

And

[vital glacier]

yeah for some reason that doesnt make sense to me

[vital glacier]

yeah but how would i do that with my db stuff tho

[naive briar]

Same way

What else can I say, it's there in the screenshot

You get your prefixes from your db > you call the when_mentioned_or with the prefixes to get a callable > you call the callable

[novel bolt]

hey , i am creating a cog so inside the init method i am creating a variable self.filter_channels and i have a async func get_set_channels() which returns the list which i would like to set for self.filter_channels . how can i do tat?

[vital glacier]

i can't seem to figure it out. i've tried so much atp

[upbeat gust]

What did you try? whats happening?

[vital glacier]

It's either one of the other, or both don't work

[upbeat gust]

just do self.filter_channels = aweait self.get_set_channels()?

Im not sure what you're having trouble with

[naive briar]

They are probably in __init__

[novel bolt]

😑 its not inside async function to await

[novel bolt]

yea inside init

[naive briar]

And why are you making that function async anyway

You're not using await in it

[upbeat gust]

their db lib is async

[novel bolt]

yep

[naive briar]

Oh, yeah

[upbeat gust]

ah right didnt think of that

[novel bolt]

hmm

[upbeat gust]

You can make a classmethod that creates an instance of the class, calls that method, and returns that instance

[novel bolt]

oh lemme check

btw thenks

[upbeat gust]

Im not understanding you

[upbeat gust]

You do this

but replace prefixes_for with your own function that gets prefixes from the db

[unique robin]

hello guys

https://github.com/adelkandi/ZAO_BOT

this a project that i made a bot of jokes , i was really bored so i did try make some effort on a bot like this can you rate it?

[upbeat gust]

1. Use ext.commands or slash commands for your commands
2. Read into proper python naming schemes
3. Use aiohttp instead of requests (requests is blocking)

[unique robin]

the first one i get it

the second one one idk give me example

the 3rd one yes i will use on next bot

[upbeat gust]

https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#naming-conventions

[unique robin]

thanks

[upbeat gust]

Using requests is causing your bot to block

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

[unique robin]

ah really i didnt know i will read this documentation right now

[humble gulch]

Help make me a discord bot plz

[radiant bough]

Any utility command ideas?

[deep osprey]

                    line = await f.readlines()    
                    for line in f:
                        if text in line:
                            line = await line.replace(line,"")
                            await f.write(line) ``` why doesn't that delete the specified line from the txt file?

hey im tryna customise one of my embeds. Ive noticed when you use ">" to make like a line in the embed or any message tbh. Sometimes it comes with different thicknesses. How can i get the max thickness?

[wanton hatch]

$help print

#bot-commands is probably what you are looking for. For the @unkempt canyon bot, the prefix is ! and for @lament depot .

Hello @velvet compass

[slate swan]

hey guys, i made a restart command but it seems to not reload the cogs

i'm planning to during the restart it reload the cogs

it was suppose to repeat the "Sucess line with the other lines that was there

i'm having problems here with this:

        start = args.find("[")
        end = args.find("]")
        find_brackets(start, end, 0, True)
        def find_brackets(self, start, end, mod, is_outside):
            print("entered")
            total = list()
            for i in range (mod, start):
                if start[i] > end[i]:
                    total.append(self.find_brackets(start, end, i, False))
                elif start[i] < end[i]:
                    total.append(mod, end[i])
                    if(is_outside == False):
                        break
            return total```

cannot access local variable 'find_brackets' where it is not associated with a value

[deep osprey]

                async with aiofiles.open(region+'.txt',mode="w") as f:
                    text = random.choice(await f.readlines())
                    #code
                    lines = await f.readlines()
                    print(lines)
                    lines.remove(text)
                    print(lines)
                    await f.writelines(lines)``` anyone got idea why this removes all lines from txt instead of the specified line

[naive briar]

Why are you opening the file in w then try to read it

And you can't read if the mode isn't in read mode

[slate swan]

the "find_brackets_ thing works, but when it goes to the sub-function it doesn'1t works

i'm trying to create a funtion that have two ways of input:
self, args

and

self, start, end, mod, is_outside

[fathom sandal]

Hi all. I put a query in the help system about using python and discord bots to solve an invitation problem I have. Is OK to briefly mention it here as well?

[maiden fable]

You will need to use **kwargs or smth

[slate swan]

kwargs...uhmm

strange

[maiden fable]

wym?

[slate swan]

is it possible to make a command that will update a string example key = "test" !updatekey test1 and it makes key = "test1" in the code

[maiden fable]

As long as u don't store the value in another file or a db, it will only be changed in the cache

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

i mean i never studied about that before

i will need to learn that

[maiden fable]

!args-kwargs can tell u more about them

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

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

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

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

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

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

[gusty flax]

Kwargs are very useful, allowing u to pass in arbitrary non-positional arguments.

[slate swan]

Does anyone know how I can add a description to the help command?

code

oh nvm

to put this into perspective each command is built into one giant class

so Moderation is a class and those commands are sub-classes if that makes sense

isn't that a normal embed up there

for the most part yeah

[tacit horizon]

how can i use attachment with slash command

[slate swan]

wdym?

[tacit horizon]

add image with slash commend

[slate swan]

do you know what groups are

[slate swan]

make an embed

[tacit horizon]

no input image

[slate swan]

I recomend you read the docs, I am not a dpy main

[torn sail]

use the description= kwarg in @command()

[slate swan]

this is coding for one of my more simple commands

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Misc(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Embed Cog is ready")

    @commands.command()
    async def embed(self, ctx):
        embed_message = discord.Embed(title="Title of Embed", description="Description of embed", color=discord.Color.green())

        embed_message.set_author(name=f"Requested by {ctx.author.name}", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar)
        embed_message.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.guild.icon)
        embed_message.set_image(url=ctx.guild.icon)
        embed_message.add_field(name="Field name", value="Field Value", inline=False)
        embed_message.set_footer(text="This is the footer", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar)

        await ctx.send(embed = embed_message)

async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(Misc(client))

[torn sail]

@commands.command(description='cool description')

[slate swan]

Thanks!

[slate swan]

ofc
