I'd just let user send the tag content as a message
and then make a slash cmd with this syntax
/tag create name:<str> message_id:<str>

but that would need fetching the message, bad idea.

[hushed galleon]

i think taking a message link would be even more annoying to use

[slate swan]

a pastebin url

[smoky sinew]

what was the field to get the value of the interaction response btw

[hushed galleon]

well in all approaches you have to type the content anyway, and i guess one extra advantage would be having the ability to turn anyone's message into a tag without copy-pasting it

uhh value of what?

the response type that was used?

[smoky sinew]

from send_message specifically

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

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

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[smoky sinew]

thanks

[slate swan]

is it just me or discord doesnt allow using slash commands while replying to a message?

[smoky sinew]

are those comparable with normal messages

using __eq__

[smoky sinew]

no because it works just fine with /shrug ¯_(ツ)_/¯

unless they're somehow different

[slate swan]

im talking about app commands from bots, not the default ones

[hushed galleon]

it inherits from Message and doesnt override eq so likely yes

[smoky sinew]

ok cool

[hushed galleon]

huh, weird

[smoky sinew]

i think it has worked for me in the past though with bot slash commands

[slate swan]

normal

[smoky sinew]

what's a better name, /tag remove or /tag delete

[slate swan]

when replying

[slate swan]

💀 i hope you get it but,
remove if you used add for adding tag
delete if you used create

[smoky sinew]

ohh

i spend more on the embed design than on the actual code to be honest

[shrewd apex]

and i am the exact opposite

[shrewd apex]

sup

[slate swan]

and i just dont code

[shrewd apex]

sarth now busy with laif

[slate swan]

[shrewd apex]

got some commitments cough

yes, JEE in 25 days

I got this code to run however is there a way to check if user has a certain role with the role's id?

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

users Don't have roles, members do
you need to use guild.get_member(USER_ID) and check if the member has the role using member.get_role(ROLE_ID)

[slate swan]

I see, let me try

what are you gonna use the time module for?

[shrewd apex]

role = 123456
@client.command()
async def send(ctx):
  for id_ in member:
      user = ctx.guild.get_member(id_) or await ctx.guild.fetch_member(id_)

          await user.send("Abc")
        except discord.HTTPException:
          continue

[slate swan]

💀 Asher don't act like CHATGPT there's no Client.get_member

[shrewd apex]

are something is there tho dont remember

[slate swan]

Guild.get_member

[shrewd apex]

probably yeah

[smoky sinew]

not probably

[shrewd apex]

aight

      # do stuff

[smoky sinew]

there should be try_object functions

[slate swan]

what would that do?

[smoky sinew]

try to get an object from the cache and fetch it if it isn't there

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Client.get_or_fetch_user 🐢

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Client.get\_or\_fetch\_user

await get_or_fetch_user(user_id, *, strict=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Tries to get the user from the cache. If fails, it tries to fetch the user from the API.

[shrewd apex]

i mean its just a line

[smoky sinew]

why would i switch to disnake when i could just code my own discord wrapper

[slate swan]

someone could create a PR in the dpy repo but will probably not get accepted

[shrewd apex]

u memorized docs or what

[slate swan]

i remember anything I use often

[shrewd apex]

if u had put this effort for jee u would be in iit by now

[smoky sinew]

client.get_user(...) or await client.fetch_user(...)?

[slate swan]

i don't use my books often btw

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[shrewd apex]

bro saying that from kota

[smoky sinew]

it's a basic function, honestly it could probably be the default behaviour or get_user even

[slate swan]

yeah just subclass bot and add a method that does this lol

[smoky sinew]

subclassing Guild to add try_member lol

is it even possible to subclass guild and have the library return that

oh yeah get_guild??? does that work

[slate swan]

import discord

def foo(id):
   # code

discord.Guild.foo = foo

[smoky sinew]

that is the worst idea bruh

[slate swan]

🗿then create your own fork

[shrewd apex]

just modify dpy lib directly

then go try to flex in dpy server

life accomplishment

[slate swan]

3rd party code, get rekt

[smoky sinew]

instant ban lol for discussing forks

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

Thank you, worked.

It isn't getting the vc = await ... part, so the rest of the code doesn't work and i've got no clue to why. No errors in the console and I already added prints, thats how I found out it didnt reach the part.

[woeful magnet]

I wanna know how to run multiple Discord clients simultaneously

[naive briar]

Why

[vital glacier]

Trying to make it so if the channel that was created before becomes empty, it’ll delete that voicemaster channel

[dense jackal]

Hi! When a user types in the bot’s dm, this text appear. From there, they can choose if they want to create a ticket or cancel the interaction. Although, we found a glitch that if you send 2 messages, the text will sent twice and then, you will be able to create 2 tickets at once. Can someone help me to code so that the embed stops resending everytime they type in? My script is: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/yidukekala

[unkempt mauve]

I want to make a info channel cmd. What is the class for channel?>

Ok I got it

[shrewd apex]

u need to make a database where the ticket is stored so that user cannot create another

[dense jackal]

Can you help me with that?

Cause someone told me to do that

so

if user.id in list:
    await ctx.send('you already got one open')
if user.id not in list:
    list.append(user)
    send the message or do stuff
    # once completly done to close
    list.remove(user)```

[shrewd apex]

no lol i rarely spoonfeed ahem but we can help u if u have any query

nope

thats even worse than having 2 ticket messages

list is data type inbuilt and a keyword dont override it

also u didn't code that did u

[dense jackal]

Nope

A friend did it for me

But they dont wanna help me no more unfortunately

Why?

[shrewd apex]

in short u have to create which maps users to the tickets they created maybe message id or just a boolean value then update when ticket deleted

[shrewd apex]

may u find the answer to that urself

[dense jackal]

No fr please

[shrewd apex]

[dense jackal]

Does my code contain something suspicious?

[shrewd apex]

i dont know i generally don't open pastebin on phone it freezes the screen

[dense jackal]

How did you know I didnt code that then

[shrewd apex]

list.append

anyone who can make a view or dm ticket system this far wont make such a rookie mistake

[dense jackal]

Ah lol

Yeah im kinda stuck there now

[shrewd apex]

is the view persistent?

[dense jackal]

They explained something to my that I was close to understand

But now your telling me that was completely wrong

[shrewd apex]

like does it work even after u restart the bot?

[dense jackal]

The bot?

[shrewd apex]

do the buttons in the ticket work after u restart the bot

[dense jackal]

No

[shrewd apex]

lmao rip

[dense jackal]

Says interaction failed

That’s in dms btw

No tickets

That’s basically to create a ticket

[shrewd apex]

then u might as well just do it with a list as a global variable

whoever made that ticket system didn't think it out

[dense jackal]

Smh

[shrewd apex]

just make something like this

tickets = set()
# i am gonna assume they use on_message for dms
# if created
tickets.add(message.author.id)
# on top of that on_message add
if message.author.id in tickets:
     return
# when ticket is deleted
tickets.remove(message.author.id)

[dense jackal]

Isn’t that exactly what they did?

if user.id in list:
    await ctx.send('you already got one open')
if user.id not in list:
    list.append(user)
    send the message or do stuff
    # once completly done to close
    list.remove(user)```

[shrewd apex]

ur not supposed to use list like that tho
u can do tickets = list() or [] like this but list is a keyword

plus he didn't return

[dense jackal]

What does return do btw

[shrewd apex]

i mean thats probably the best i can do without a good database system

[shrewd apex]

consider it as a way of telling the function to go no further and mind ur own business

[dense jackal]

Lmao

just make something like this

tickets = set()
# i am gonna assume they use on_message for dms
# if created
tickets.add(message.author.id)
# on top of that on_message add
if message.author.id in tickets:
     return
# when ticket is deleted
tickets.remove(message.author.id)

So here the keyword is set?

[woeful magnet]

hey

[shrewd apex]

its a datatype yes

[dense jackal]

Okay ty ill try to do something with this

[shrewd apex]

sup

[shrewd apex]

u can google what a set is its better suited for this use case hence i used it over list

can any one help me out

like how to print, items of same keys in a dict

dict = {
  "a" : "letter 1",
  "a" : "letter 2"
}

[smoky sinew]

dict.items()?

[lyric latch]

is this even possible

[smoky sinew]

dicts cant have same keys

they have to be unique

[lyric latch]

then it prints, only one value

!d discord.ui.View.remove_item

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.remove\_item

remove_item(item)```
Removes an item from the view.

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

Hi, with discord.py it's possible to add a commande here ?

And it's possible have a field like this ?

[vocal snow]

Yes, they are called Slash Commands

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32

[scenic brook]

ok thx

[radiant bough]

What do I do to replace the ‘ with , and mention all the roles?

[slate swan]

!d str.replace

[unkempt canyon]

str.replace

str.replace(old, new[, count])```
Return a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring *old* replaced by *new*. If the optional argument *count* is given, only the first *count* occurrences are replaced.

[slate swan]

Might be useful

[radiant bough]

Removed the quotes and commas wb mentioning the roles?

[slate swan]

You only have the name of the role?

[radiant bough]

Yea

[vale wing]

!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.

[vale wing]

If that is a list

[radiant bough]

I did this..

[slate swan]

!d discord.utils.find

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.find

discord.utils.find(predicate, iterable, /)```
A helper to return the first element found in the sequence that meets the predicate. For example:

```py
member = discord.utils.find(lambda m: m.name == 'Mighty', channel.guild.members)
```  would find the first [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") whose name is ‘Mighty’ and return it. If an entry is not found, then `None` is returned.

This is different from [`filter()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#filter "(in Python v3.11)") due to the fact it stops the moment it finds a valid entry.

Changed in version 2.0: Both parameters are now positional-only.

Changed in version 2.0: The `iterable` parameter supports [asynchronous iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterable "(in Python v3.11)")s.

[slate swan]

Look at this example of finding a Member with name

And try to convert it to finding a Role with name

[radiant bough]

role = discord.utils.find(lambda r: r.name == “role”, ctx.guild.roles)

Would work?

[vale wing]

Eh wait what input data do you have and what output do you want to get

[radiant bough]

nvm

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, /, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.utils.find "discord.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

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

fortnite pfp?

[slate swan]

👀

[vocal snow]

no

league :P

[radiant bough]

So in member_update (i don’t remember the event)or the event in which if a member’s roles are changed is it possible to only show the roles which are added/removed rather than every role the user is having

[slate swan]

Just compare before.roles with after.roles and you can figure out which roles were added/removed

[upbeat otter]

this gist is super outdated I swear 💀 (just haven't been on talking terms with discord.py so idk)

[karmic nimbus]

@client.event
async def on_member_update(before=discord.Member, after=discord.Member):
    memb = discord.Member
    channel = client.get_channel(1012255201547259975)
    for role in memb.roles:
        if before.roles != after.roles:
            mbed = discord.Embed(title=f'{memb.display_name} | {before.roles} changed to {after.roles}')
            await channel.send(embed=mbed)

output: TypeError: on_member 'property' is not iter object

idk how to use on_member_update💀

[vocal snow]

before=discord.Member, after=discord.Member why the =discord.Member?

async def on_member_update(before, after):
``` your function signature should just have two positional parameters

both of which are discord.Member objects

[karmic nimbus]

then what should i do with that

[karmic nimbus]

just like that?

[vocal snow]

yes, if you haven't used functions before I would highly recommend learning them

[upbeat otter]

you have to typehint the arguments not set their default values to discord.Member

before: discord.Member, after: discord.Member

[unkempt mauve]

how do I access the everyone role for overwriting

[karmic nimbus]

ok thx

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.Guild.default_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.default\_role

property default_role```
Gets the @everyone role that all members have by default.

[upbeat otter]

or you can usr the guild id itself

I think the problem there is that the server's attitude towards it has been moderating reactions, but it's not the reactions of people reacting inappropriately that should be moderated, it's the members, who probably shouldn't be here regardless of whether or not they can react since they're low quality users if they feel the need to behave in that way, but I digress, this isn't the channel and we have reactions for now /shrug

[maiden fable]

alec, the shrug slash command should be at the start of the message

But yea, u r right

[velvet compass]

I'm happy to give it a trial, it doesn't hurt to try things out and see what happens

[vocal plover]

look i have like 4 braincells and they cant all work at once

[maiden fable]

Hahaha

[stark ingot]

Would it be possible to get some of the other discord bot libs in the channel description or a pin? I know pycord and nextcord are 2 major python bot libs that are still getting updated.

[maiden fable]

there is disnake, and discord.py is also there

If u want a different lib, there is hikari

[smoky sinew]

reactions

very interesting

[vocal plover]

+1 for nextcord/disnake in the description or a pin with lib alternatives

[slate swan]

i can finally react with / 🚫 instead of answer with a message yay

no im not lazy

[vocal snow]

your braincells aren't fearlessly concurrent? you should rewrite them in rust

[vocal plover]

I only have 2 threads, they can run with async concurrency but not actual parallelism

[smoky sinew]

what's a good permission for deleting tags

manage server?? manage messages?

it will all be configurable anyways

[vocal plover]

I'd probably default it to manage server

better to default to a higher permission level if you're unsure, generally

[smoky sinew]

that's what i thought

[smoky sinew]

how do i get the number of chunks with as_chunks

[hushed galleon]

as_chunks returns an iterator so figuring out the length from it wouldnt be possible unless you consumed it entirely, e.g. py chunks = [chunk for chunk in discord.utils.as_chunks(iterable)] len(chunks)

[smoky sinew]

i just ended up doing list(chunks)

i thought it always returned an iterator of the same type

[hushed galleon]

well it does return an iterator yielding elements of the same type as the iterable you pass to it, but iterators dont have a length

[smoky sinew]

so it's not safe to do that

?

[hushed galleon]

len(as_chunks(...)) would be incorrect because iterators dont know their length, which is why you would need to collect all the items into a sequence or enumerate over it instead

[brazen raft]

I think this is as safe as using a list comprehension

[smoky sinew]

yeah

but wouldn't as_chunks return a list if it was given a list

[hushed galleon]

oh nope its always an iterator

the function itself only cares that you're giving it an iterable/asynciterable as an argument
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/utils.py#L1037-L1044

no, longer

!d nextcord.ui.StringSelect.options

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.ui.StringSelect.options

property options```
A list of options that can be selected in this menu.

[slate swan]

it would be self.options

and your nextcord seems to be outdated ( it's StringSelect now, not Select )

[white citrus]

it's about the self.children i think

[slate swan]

yes

[white citrus]

self.children should be the dropdown

I want to update the dropdown lol

[slate swan]

when you're in the select class, self represents the Select which doesnt have a children attribute

view has that attr

[white citrus]

Okay so how can i get the attr in there

Or how can i edit the dropdown else?

[slate swan]

does anyone wanna help me setup a file for running a discord bot, and getting a single command setup and from there i can figure out the rest

[slate swan]

override the on_timeout method of the view

[slate swan]

a file as in a basic bot script?

yes and then a single command that would get the discord users username

[white citrus]

Overwrite?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py the repo has a decent example

[slate swan]

        # disable here

[white citrus]

I dont want to disable it

I want to edit it after a select

[smoky sinew]

you don't have to disable it

just add your own custom logic

also i have a question in #databases and i don't know if it's a database or discord timestamp issue

it's also a discord bot so

[white citrus]

I have a view like this, but got likely the same error

[slate swan]

how would i get the username of a user?

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.User.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.name

The user’s username.

[slate swan]

with a bot to save their progress with the bot

[smoky sinew]

you shouldn't use their username to save because it can change

use their ID instead

[slate swan]

ok so how would i get the id?

[smoky sinew]

it's just the same thing, user.id

[glad cradle]

docs are cool

[slate swan]

ok so for example i would do

pl.id = user.id

[smoky sinew]

what

[smoky sinew]

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Format-strings

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[smoky sinew]

f"Hello, {user}"

[smoky sinew]

what does your code look like

are you using a self-bot

[exotic maple]

what do you mean

[smoky sinew]

you leaked your token in the screenshot

[exotic maple]

oh yeah thanks

but can you help

it keeps saying invalid token

but its a correct token

[smoky sinew]

how'd you copy the token

[exotic maple]

using the copy button on the developer portal

i think the aware postgres timestamp is being converted to a naive timestamp somehow and discord.py is converting the naive timestamp to local time?

[astral ether]

hello everyone i want to create my voice channel in a categorie, how can i choose the id of my categorie for create a voice channel please ?

channel = await ctx.guild.create_voice_channel(f'{msg.content}')

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, news=False, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=..., ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") for the guild.

Note that you must have [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.11)") of overwrites with the target (either 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")) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite") as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit "discord.TextChannel.edit") will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[slate swan]

you can pass category argument

[astral ether]

oh thanks ! i go test

[astral ether]

i have an error

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'id'

[slate swan]

code?

[astral ether]

channel = await ctx.guild.create_voice_channel(name=f'{msg.content}', category=1023283647006134364)

[slate swan]

you need to pass CategoryChannel object not id of category

[smoky sinew]

use bot.get_channel(1023283647006134364)

[slate swan]

!d discord.utils.find

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.find

discord.utils.find(predicate, iterable, /)```
A helper to return the first element found in the sequence that meets the predicate. For example:

```py
member = discord.utils.find(lambda m: m.name == 'Mighty', channel.guild.members)
```  would find the first [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") whose name is ‘Mighty’ and return it. If an entry is not found, then `None` is returned.

This is different from [`filter()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#filter "(in Python v3.11)") due to the fact it stops the moment it finds a valid entry.

Changed in version 2.0: Both parameters are now positional-only.

Changed in version 2.0: The `iterable` parameter supports [asynchronous iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterable "(in Python v3.11)")s.

[smoky sinew]

why

[slate swan]

use this to find a category

[smoky sinew]

no

just use get_channel

[slate swan]

category is treated as channel?

[smoky sinew]

yup

[slate swan]

then use get_channel

[astral ether]

CategoryChannel ? the name of the channel ?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

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

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

[slate swan]

do this ```py
category = bot.get_channel(id)

[slate swan]

nope special object representing a Category

which you can get using code i sent above

[astral ether]

channel = await ctx.guild.create_voice_channel(name=f'{msg.content}', category=ctx.get_channel(1023283647006134364))

like that ?

[astral ether]

oh ok

[slate swan]

its bot.get_channel

not ctx

[astral ether]

ho ok 🤦‍♂️

yes he work thanks !

[smoky sinew]

that's not MissingPermissions though

that's just forbidden

you can handle that with try/except

[white citrus]

At which point?

I updated nextcord and now this comes up @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

when the exception occurs

missing permission bot.return?

what does that mean

[smoky sinew]

since i see interaction.channel.typing i'm just going to take a wild guess and say that the application command was invoked in a channel the bot does not have access to

isinstance(error, MissingPermissions)

also i would not recommend you to make an error handler like this because you are basically removing all helpful errors from your terminal

that doesn't help..

[silk fulcrum]

Slash commands?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[tired pollen]

ah?

[slate swan]

no idea also

[worthy heart]

hello, where can I find docs for using slash commands with discord.py (import discord)

[cloud dawn]

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

[worthy heart]

I already tried to search slash commands in there, but I couldn't

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.app_commands.Command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Command

class discord.app_commands.Command(*, name, description, callback, nsfw=False, parent=None, guild_ids=None, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
A class that implements an application command.

These are usually not created manually, instead they are created using one of the following decorators:

• [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.command "discord.app_commands.command")

• [`Group.command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Group.command "discord.app_commands.Group.command")

• [`CommandTree.command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command")...

[worthy heart]

Thanks!

Also

How can I do so the bot doesn't have to handle command by command? (so that it can handle each command on its own thread or stuff like that, hope you get the point)

[full lily]

It should already be doing that to some degree

[worthy heart]

idk, it felt kinda slow

[smoky sinew]

what are you doing inside the command?

[worthy heart]

simple ping command

[worthy heart]

if command[0] == 'ping':
                print(self.latency)
                await message.channel.send(f":ping_pong: Pong! {round(self.latency * 10)}ms")

how can I change the bot's status?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.change_presence

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.change\_presence

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

Changes the client’s presence.

Example

```py
game = discord.Game("with the API")
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=game)
```   Changed in version 2.0: Removed the `afk` keyword-only parameter...

[graceful ermine]

How would I make a bot that checks other bots' status and if the bot detects a bot that went offline how would I like to send a message that BotX went offline?

[thin raft]

loop through all members every x

[slate swan]

create task that runs every x minutes/seconds and loop over guild members check if member is a bot then check status and then send message to some channel

[thin raft]

you forgot smt

[slate swan]

what did i forget?

[thin raft]

it will send the message every x seconds for all offlibe bots

so if a bot goes offfline

it will send the message until it gets online

[slate swan]

right we need to create some cache thingy

[thin raft]

basically

you could just use a json file with a list

or even a txt file with the ids separated by a space

[slate swan]

so you also need to create easiest way i would go for bot varriable like bot.bots_offline and store it here

then check if it was already offline since last checkout

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Bot variables

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[smoky cedar]

I changed my discord bots intents so he could read messages. But it won't work, do I need to refresh the bot in some way?

I remember there's like a specific line of code I need to call no?

[slate swan]

did you enable it on developer portal?

[smoky cedar]

Yeah

[slate swan]

then you need to add it in code

[smoky cedar]

I have bot = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default()) which I believe is correct for messaging intent

[slate swan]

intents = ...
intents.message_content = True```

[smoky cedar]

But I need to refresh it or something internally no?

Ah its not on by default

[slate swan]

yes its not on

so you need to define intents before client

then enable intent you want

then pass the intents varriable to Client

[brisk rapids]

When using this code:

class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init__(self):
    intents = discord.Intents().all()
    super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('.'), intents=intents)
    
  async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
    #interaction = discord.Interaction()
    self.add_view(signupButton())

Im getting the error that signupButton.init() missing 1 positional argument: 'interaction'

But it's not suposed to take it because I'm not calling the function I just want to make the button persistent

[sick birch]

Can we see class signupButton?

[slate swan]

how does the signupButton looks like

[brisk rapids]

class signupButton(discord.ui.Button):

  def __init__(self, interaction):
    super().__init__(style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, label="Sign up", custom_id="1")

  async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await add_user(interaction)

[slate swan]

so you accept interaction inside __init__ method

which you dont want here

just remove interaction argument from init

[worthy heart]

could somebody quickly explain about these? what each client / intents

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

client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run(TOKEN)

I cant create slash commands because I don't know what to type after the @
The Error:

@app_commands.command(description="Clear messages from a channel")
NameError: name 'app_commands' is not defined

[slate swan]

you are missing this import from discord import app_commands

[smoky sinew]

why not just save a list of bot members

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py here is a small example of how basic slash command looks like

[slate swan]

hm?

[smoky sinew]

cache them and loop over the cached bot members

instead of always looping through the full member list'

[brisk rapids]

Now im getting the error: TypeError(f'expected an instance of View not {view.class.name}')
for the line

self.add_view(signupButton())

[slate swan]

could be but what if you add a bot to a server while its going

[smoky sinew]

i'm assuming he's just making an uptime command for a certain amount of fbots

[smoky sinew]

what is signupButton

[brisk rapids]

class signupButton(discord.ui.Button):

  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__(style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, label="Sign up", custom_id="1")

  async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await add_user(interaction)

[slate swan]

it must be a View

not Button

View can hold a Button as item

[brisk rapids]

so I should change discord.ui.Button to discord.ui.View?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py this is an example of a persistent view that holds 3 buttons check it out

[slate swan]

not really

[smoky sinew]

class SignUpView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label="Sign Up", custom_id="sign_up", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def sign_up(self, interaction, button):
        await add_user(interaction)

try something like this and use button as a decorator

[smoky sinew]

https://github.com/mudkipdev/leaf/blob/main/leaf/extensions/tags.py

someone review pls

[flint heart]

How could I change this code to just list the users usernames instead of pinging them? py user_mentions = ' '.join([f'<@{user[0]}>' for user in users])

[sick birch]

' '.join(user.name for user in users)

[smoky sinew]

also for pinging you can do user.mention

[flint heart]

Sick, thanks!

[flint heart]

I think I'm gonna be making a command soon that does have to ping the user, so thanks!

[gaunt spear]

why the errors?

im using discord.py 1.7.3

[slate swan]

Why not upgrading to latest?

[smoky sinew]

what's the full error

[smoky sinew]

probably self-bot as discord.py 1.7.3 is the last version that supports them lol

[slate swan]

lol

But why do you know that

https://tenor.com/view/huh-verne-over-the-hedge-turtle-disbelief-gif-24744867

[smoky sinew]

😳

because i read the 2.0 changelog

(im a nerd and i actually read changelogs)

[slate swan]

Dam

https://tenor.com/view/hydro-dam-water-gif-10651901

[flint heart]

Is there a shutdown function? I know it used to be like this: await ctx.bot.logout()But I'm not sure if it changed with the more recent versions

(I'm tryna make a /shutdown command, if that means anything)

[gaunt spear]

nah

im good

[smoky sinew]

there is no legitimate reason to still be using discord.py 1.7.3

[smoky sinew]

that doesn't exist anymore

you should just use await bot.close()

[flint heart]

Alr, thx

[gusty flax]

YOOO

WE GOT REACTIONS

[gaunt spear]

full error:

[gusty flax]

message.author.avatar

[gaunt spear]

Thank you

[smoky sinew]

because display_avatar was added in 2.0

[slate swan]

i think its been there for a longer time

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the member’s display avatar.

For regular members this is just their avatar, but if they have a guild specific avatar then that is returned instead.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

oh nvm it was only display_name then

[gaunt spear]

that’s where i got confused

i thought it was already a thing

[young dagger]

How can I use the verification_task variable to let other functions in your code know when the task is running?

verification_task = False

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    verification_task = True
    # rest of the function ...
    verification_task = False

[gusty flax]

Well, exactly what code u have.

[young dagger]

What do you mean?

[gusty flax]

Well verification_task will be True when its running and false when its not.

[young dagger]

I want to use it as a global variable to let other functions know when it's true or false

[rigid hare]

i did a thing... ```py
@commands.command(name='clear')
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def clear(self, ctx, limit=None, channel: discord.TextChannel=None):
if (_id := ctx.message.reference.message_id) is not None: # check if the command was a reply
history = ctx.channel.history(limit=None) # if its a reply, we by nature want to clear the channel we sent it in, so just get the message history
reply = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(_id) # store the reply
limit = 0
async for msg in history:
limit += 1 # increase limit for each message we loop through
if msg == reply: # if the message is the one we replied to, stop looping
break

    if channel is not None: # if a channel is specified, clear that channel
        toclear = channel
    else:
        toclear = ctx.channel # otherwise clear the current channel

    if limit is None: limit = 50 # default limit to 50

    await toclear.purge(limit=int(limit)) # purge the target channel

[gusty flax]

global verification_task```

R u saying that per task, u want a way to see if its done or not?

[young dagger]

Oh so like

verification_task = False

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    global verification_task
    verification_task = True
    # rest of the function ...
    verification_task = False

Right?

[gusty flax]

global verification_task

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    verification_task = True
    # rest of the function ...
    verification_task = False```

[young dagger]

Will it be true or false after I start the Discord bot, if we ignore @tasks.loop(hours=24)

[gusty flax]

not sure. print it out

[young dagger]

!e

global verification_task

print(verification_task)```

[unkempt canyon]

[gusty flax]

globals are annoying to use lowkey

I just use classes and have attributes.

Tho Im not sure what ur trying to do.

[young dagger]

verification_task = False

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    verification_task = True
    # rest of the function ...
    verification_task = False

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    if not verification_task:
    # rest of the function ...

[gusty flax]

Oh ye. that works. bc its a reference.

[young dagger]

So if verification_task is not true it should execute the code

in client.event

[gusty flax]

That code willw ork.

[young dagger]

No its greyed out

[gusty flax]

wdym

[gusty flax]

Pastebin ur code pls

!pastebin

[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.

[young dagger]

I don't think there is need for that

[gusty flax]

Well, I wanna see ur indentation. But put ur mouse over that line and tell me the message.

[gusty flax]

Thats true, it is in local scope. U would have to use global

[young dagger]

So,

@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    global verification_task
    verification_task = True```

Or am I wrong?

[gusty flax]

verification_task = False
@tasks.loop(hours=24)
async def update_elo_ratings():
    global verification_task
    verification_task = True```

This shld work

[young dagger]

Do I specify it in the other function as well?

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    global verification_task
    if not verification_task:
    # rest of the function ...```

[gusty flax]

sry i dont use globals that much. i forgot how they work 😓

[young dagger]

Even if I only need to access verification_task to see if it's True or False?

I still need to declare it as global?

[gusty flax]

Yes, cause each function has its own scope. U need to access that outer scope, and u would access it as a global.

Thast why most ppl use classes, with attributes. Generally, globals aren't suggested.

[young dagger]

It seems like it can read it without declaring it as global

Can somebody else please confirm?

[gusty flax]

Show code.

[young dagger]

Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but there is no need to show you the code as I already explained what I want to do

[gusty flax]

💀 I want to see which value ur talking about. It is much easier to help seeing the code.

[gusty flax]

I know what u want to do, but idk what ur doing

[young dagger]

I think this already explains it

[gusty flax]

😅 well I just checked and u dont need global

!e```py
boolean = False

def myfunc():
global boolean
boolean = True

def checker():
global boolean
print(boolean)

print(boolean)
myfunc()
print(boolean)
checker()```

[unkempt canyon]

@gusty flax :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | False
002 | True

[gusty flax]

!e```py

def checker():

[unkempt canyon]

@gusty flax :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | False
002 | True
003 | True

[gusty flax]

its the same

seems that u can access it but not reassign it unless u access the global

[young dagger]

Thank you

[echo wasp]

hi, I am dealing with requests and the bot returns 403 when you can access it no problem via google why may that be? py await interaction.response.send_message(f"The website responded with the status code: {requests.get(url=url).status_code} \n {requests.get(url=url).reason}")

[vale wing]

@young dagger you need to declare variable as global if it is redefined in function scope

[vale wing]

1. You are most likely missing authorization header. Read about authorization on docs of API you are using
2. You should make single request

r = requests.get(...)
print(r.status_code, r.reason)

By calling requests.get() twice you make 2 requests, however you need only one
3. In async applications, you need to avoid blocking. Instead of requests, use aiohttp (which dpy already uses), google its docs and read client quickstart

Answer is simple - don't use replit for hosting 😇

[echo wasp]

On other sites it is returning 200 but I found the site I was testing is using cloudflare

[vale wing]

I pretty much explained everything

[junior drum]

i mean im using for testing, so any other good site?

[echo wasp]

Local host using vscode

[vale wing]

There aren't really "sites" for hosting bots, instead there are cloud servers (VPS)

[junior drum]

a okay so i should rely on amazon

thanks

[vale wing]

Good idea

[junior drum]

it takes horrible starting time on my local host idk why, but works fine on replit

[echo wasp]

Ok where do I find quickstart for it?

[junior drum]

like i have to sit for around 5 mins with a blank console

[echo wasp]

Internet speeds maybe

[vale wing]

I pretty much told you how 😃

[junior drum]

could be

[echo wasp]

Ok

[vale wing]

Like ofc I can go to google, find its docs and send the link to you but I think it's not that hard

[echo wasp]

Right ok

[vale wing]

If you have any struggles tell me tho

[echo wasp]

Will do

[echo wasp]

the quickstart i half understood

[echo wasp]

can you provide a discord example?

[smoky sinew]

don't use requests with discord.py

use aiohttp instead

[echo wasp]

🤦🏽‍♂️

[vale wing]

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    r = await session.get(...)
    data = await r.json()```

session.get has args and kwargs very similar to requests.get if not the same

So you shouldn't have trouble with figuring it out

[echo wasp]

ok how do i include a link same as before?

[vale wing]

"has args and kwargs very similar"

[echo wasp]

ah.

[slate swan]

Hey, everytime i try to get the guild it spits out the guild's object inside of my cog (i am trying to make welcoming.)

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        guild = discord.Guild
        try:
            with open("welcome.json", "r") as e:
                fr = json.load(e)
                message = fr[guild.id]["message"]
                channel = fr[guild.id][int("channel")]
            if "{user.mention}" in message:
                message.replace("{user.mention}", member.mention)
            await channel.send(str(message))
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)```

Error:
```py

[naive briar]

What? I see no error

[slate swan]

it keeps giving my the guild's object when im trying to get the guild's id for the welcome dataset

[echo wasp]

how would I show the reason it reuturned the code?

[echo wasp]

please paste the error in the console to us

[slate swan]

<member 'id' of 'Guild' objects>```

its returning this since i put it in a try method

and i made it print out the error

[echo wasp]

the full thing not just that

[slate swan]

it is only that

[vale wing]

I highly doubt this is printed by code you provided

[slate swan]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        guild = discord.Guild
        try:
            with open("welcome.json", "r") as e:
                fr = json.load(e)
                message = fr[guild.id]["message"]
                channel = fr[guild.id][int("channel")]
            if "{user.mention}" in message:
                message.replace("{user.mention}", member.mention)
            await channel.send(str(message))
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)```

[vale wing]

Exceptions just don't look like that

[slate swan]

Obviously it does if its giving me an object erorr

[naive briar]

Don't handle exceptions at that point

[slate swan]

dont know why tbh

[vale wing]

Try adding additional information like "exception occurred at on_member_join"

And see if it is really printed there

[echo wasp]

remove the try and except and try again

[vale wing]

Actually um guild = discord.Guild bruh

You are assigning class to a variable

[echo wasp]

i got part of it to work but how do i display the reason it gave the code?

[vale wing]

There must be methods of response in api reference, try searching it

[naive briar]

Wth, I didn't even notice that

!d aiohttp.ClientResponse

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp.ClientResponse

class aiohttp.ClientResponse```
Client response returned by [`aiohttp.ClientSession.request()`](https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/client_reference.html#aiohttp.ClientSession.request "aiohttp.ClientSession.request") and family.

User never creates the instance of ClientResponse class but gets it from API calls.

[`ClientResponse`](https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/client_reference.html#aiohttp.ClientResponse "aiohttp.ClientResponse") supports async context manager protocol, e.g.:

```py
resp = await client_session.get(url)
async with resp:
    assert resp.status == 200
```  After exiting from `async with` block response object will be *released* (see [`release()`](https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/client_reference.html#aiohttp.ClientResponse.release "aiohttp.ClientResponse.release") coroutine).

[vale wing]

@echo wasp this class's methods

[echo wasp]

ok

[slate swan]

ah well every single time i try to define the guild into on_member_join it gives me an TypeError every single time

[vale wing]

@slate swan it's member.guild in your case

[slate swan]

hmm interesting, ill look into it

[echo wasp]

I got the status but i was using a reason before with {requests.get(url=url).reason}

how do i add a auth header

[echo wasp]

how do i add a auth header i can't find it in the docs

[slate swan]

Now it prints out the guild.id when im trying to fetch the channel ID from the db to send the message.

[echo wasp]

what does your code look like now?

[slate swan]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        guild = member.guild
        try:
            with open("welcome.json", "r") as e:
                fr = json.load(e)
                message = fr[guild.id]["message"]
                channel = fr[guild.id]["channel"]
            if "{user.mention}" in message:
                message.replace("{user.mention}", member.mention)
            await channel.send(str(message))
        except Exception as x:
            print(x)```

[echo wasp]

where is it printing the guild id?

[slate swan]

i believe the Exception is outputting the guild id but idk how

[echo wasp]

can you remove the try and except from the statement and try the thing again and see if it gives you a trace back?

[slate swan]

alright

message = fr[member.guild.id]["message"]
KeyError:

keyerror now @echo wasp

[echo wasp]

is that a real guild if so remove that id

[slate swan]

if i remove it the DB would not know what message to send/the channel id

{
    "": {
        "message": "hello {user.mention}, please wait while an administrator view your join request.",
        "channel": ""
    }
}```

do i set the guild id in the db as an int aswell?

OH I THINK I KNOW WHAT I DID WRONG

[echo wasp]

no

please remove your guild id from the discord messages!

now!

[slate swan]

i dont get it know im confused..

[echo wasp]

remove the guild id from the messages you are sending to us

it is a security issue

[slate swan]

ah

there we go

[echo wasp]

did your issue get fixed?

[echo wasp]

guild id right here

[slate swan]

Nope i still have an issue, int issue

channel = fr[str(member.guild.id)][int("channel")]

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'channel'```

[echo wasp]

why is channel in quotes?

if chnnel is already a int/

[slate swan]

ah wait i think i know

[echo wasp]

did you know?

[slate swan]

I believe since im getting the channel from the db, its sending it as "1234" so if i make another variable and place that channel variable in it i could maybe get it to spit out just 123?

@echo wasp correct

[echo wasp]

i have no idea give it a try

[echo wasp]

did it work?

[echo wasp]

did you get it working?

[echo wasp]

do you happen to know how to make an auth header to make it past this

[vale wing]

Are you trying to use API or webscrap?

[echo wasp]

The api

That returns a 403 forbidden

[vale wing]

What API are you using

[echo wasp]

But if it's off its a 200 and aiohttp like you told me to use

[echo wasp]

Aiohttp

[vale wing]

That's not an API

What URL are you making requests to

[vale wing]

Actually it is but not in way I meant it

[smoky sinew]

you’re bypassing botting protection??

[echo wasp]

No I want to know a status of a website and that being on gives it a 403 and a Javascript it has to complete if that is off it gives the 200 like it should but alot of sites may have that on

[vale wing]

I think so-called protection is basically authorization, not sure what they're trying to do tho

[vale wing]

You're pinging a site so basically? 🗿

[echo wasp]

Yep

Basicly, pinging a site

[vale wing]

Bru

[echo wasp]

May add on to it todo more later on

Like if it Returns anything but a 200 send a message

Later on down the road

[vale wing]

Well in that case everything besides 5xx errors would mean site is functioning

[echo wasp]

Ok. So just leave it alone and don't add a Auth header?

[vale wing]

If site does not belong to you to obviously can't

[echo wasp]

Well how do they get past the java script challenge?

Because services like better uptime gets past it.

[vale wing]

🧐

I don't understand the expected output, input and whole purpose of this

[echo wasp]

The bot is a status checker

[echo wasp]

Checks discord bots, websites, and minecraft servers. It can send a down message and publish it for anyone that may be hosting a minecraft server bots, or a website.

[vale wing]

If a server is malfunctioning you will either receive 5xx code or not receive anything at all

[echo wasp]

Ok so just don't build the auth header ok

Thanks

[bronze whale]

Yo

[tacit phoenix]

anyone know how to make talk bot

[shrewd apex]

i think u meant chatbot

just use some api like chat gpt and u are good to go

!pypi chatterbot if ur looking more long term

[unkempt canyon]

ChatterBot v1.0.8

ChatterBot is a machine learning, conversational dialog engine.

[tacit phoenix]

oh ty

[ruby tendon]

you want at least a gpt level bot that one is pretty old

[tacit phoenix]

oh

[vale wing]

Train own model with tensorflow 🤓

[ruby tendon]

I'm making one with the llama model and there are a few on github

[vale wing]

You will need uh text vectorization, embedding and some RNN layer

[shrewd fjord]

It takes much time to Respond

[slate swan]

Has alot of flaws.

It doesn't work properly.

[slate swan]

Train your own model or Chatgpt.

[junior drum]

is client.logout() a thing?

[young dagger]

Can I use the first code instead of the second?

elo_rating = await calculate_mmr(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY) or user['elo_rating']```

```python
elo_rating = await calculate_mmr(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
        if elo_rating is None:
            elo_rating = user['elo_rating']```

[naive umbra]

!d discord.Client.logout

[unkempt canyon]

Noooooo!!

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[naive umbra]

question answered

logout is only available in earlier version afaik

now it's

!d discord.Client.close

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.close

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

Closes the connection to Discord.

[junior drum]

a okay

then i assume there must be a start function too?

[naive umbra]

yup

!d discord.Client.start

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.start

await start(token, *, reconnect=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A shorthand coroutine for [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.login "discord.Client.login") + [`connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.connect "discord.Client.connect").

[junior drum]

ah ty

[young dagger]

Can I do do this?

# return the values as a tuple
return tier, rank, lp

# And then create a tuple consisting of only tier and rank
tier, rank, lp = await get_tier_and_rank(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
tier_and_rank = tier, rank```

[slate carbon]

Yes u can.

[slate swan]

not really, everything after return wont be executed

!e ```py
def f():
print("Hello")
return
print("World")
f()

[unkempt canyon]

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

Hello

[young dagger]

If I return tier, rank, and lp, how can I define the code to set only the tier and rank as tier_and_rank?

lp should not be included

[slate swan]

tier_and_rank = await get_tier_and_rank(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)[:-1]

[young dagger]

Will it add a space in between them, so that the result has the format "Silver 3" example?

[slate swan]

no it neither do that in your solution

use this to do that

!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.

[young dagger]

So something like this?

return f"{tier} {rank} {lp}"

tier_and_rank = await get_tier_and_rank(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
tier, rank, lp = tier_and_rank.split()
tier_and_rank = f"{tier} {rank}"```

[slate swan]

try

[shrewd fjord]

Should work unless there is more space on "tier" stuff

Or simply return a list
return [tier, rank, lp]

[young dagger]

So in that case I could just do:

return [tier, rank, lp]

tier_and_rank = await get_tier_and_rank(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)
tier, rank, lp = tier_and_rank.split()
tier_and_rank = [tier, rank]```

Right?

[shrewd fjord]

wait actually just do
return [tier, rank, lp]

....
.....
tier, rank, lp=tier_and_rank
tier_and_rank=f"{tier} {rank}"

Idk what are you trying to do tho

[young dagger]

I want some functions to use tier, rank, and LP, and others to only use tier and rank

For this example, I only want to update the user's tier and rank in the database without including LP

[shrewd fjord]

Then the code i have given should work tho

[shrewd fjord]

So there is a function to get those 3 informations

But rn you want to fetch 2 of them?

[young dagger]

Correct

[young dagger]

                # Check tier, rank and LP
                for entry in data:
                    if entry['queueType'] == 'RANKED_SOLO_5x5':
                        tier = entry['tier']
                        rank = entry['rank']
                        lp = entry["leaguePoints"]

                return f"{tier} {rank} {lp}"

tier_and_rank = await get_tier_and_rank(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY)

# Should only add tier and rank without including LP, example "Silver III"
await collection.update_one({"summoner_id": summoner_id}, {"$set": {"tier_and_rank": tier_and_rank}})```

[shrewd fjord]

Return the list

return [tier, rank, lp]

t_a_e=f"{tier_and_rank[0]} {tier_and_rank[1]}"

[shrewd fjord]

Ugh

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_cog

await add_cog(cog, /, *, override=False, guild=..., guilds=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Adds a “cog” to the bot.

A cog is a class that has its own event listeners and commands.

If the cog is a [`app_commands.Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Group "discord.app_commands.Group") then it is added to the bot’s [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") as well.

Note

Exceptions raised inside a [`Cog`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog "discord.ext.commands.Cog")’s [`cog_load()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load "discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load") method will be propagated to the caller...

[shrewd fjord]

It's coroutine btw

[pale escarp]

yea i figured but when i try to make it await i get a lot of errors.

[shrewd fjord]

so technically
async def setup(bot):
await bot.add_cog(....)

[pale escarp]

ty i think thats what i done but let me try again

[shrewd fjord]

Ig

[shrewd fjord]

Actually you got a runtime warning too

[pale escarp]

isn't bc bot.add_cog is not await? or something diff

[shrewd fjord]

You need to
await add_cog in main.py too

[shrewd fjord]

It's coro

So await is must

[pale escarp]

ye i had errors awaiting it in the main.py too bc its meant to be outisde the loop then when i tried to do that i had diff errors. let me do it again and show u

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah i got it

Add all codes to a async function then just ah do asyncio.run()

Or do it on setup_hook or on_ready

[pale escarp]

ok let me try that thank you

i get this error @shrewd fjord

I created a bot.wait_for('reaction_add')
how can i get the name of the user who clicked the reaction ?

[sick birch]

reaction, user = await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", ...)

[slate swan]

thanks

[slate swan]

Why ?.

Hello please. I was trying to run the avatarify program then my network got unstable and I got busy and then later I wanted to continue or restart I keep getting the error user already exist.
Please my question is, is there a way I can clear the history on the Conda because I have uninstalled and reinstalled I still get the same thing saying data already exists. Please help would be very much appreciated 🙏.

[fast musk]

if you are simply wanting to clone (which to me sounds like you don't need to save any changes you made) then just delete the directory

[glad cradle]

this isn't the right channel to ask this question, you should open an help post at #1035199133436354600

[slate swan]

Okay I’ll do that thanks

[slate swan]

I deleted the whole conda file and stuff, is there a means of reset or refresh or delete old stuff?

[glad cradle]

what intents do you have?

[fast musk]

I am not familiar with conda, but git clone is just a basic file directory. As Snipy said though, this channel is more for discord bot development

[slate swan]

i must add the intents.reactions ?

[glad cradle]

yeah

[slate swan]

done, nothing changed

[glad cradle]

otherwise your bot isn't able to receive on_reaction_add events and so it can't update its cache

[pale escarp]

guys can anyyone help me with this plss, i been spending ages trying to load all cogs from one file

[glad cradle]

do you have intents.messages enabled?

[slate swan]

nope

[vital glacier]

How do i get the permissions string to display what permissions they are missing in my error hander?
For instance: "You're missing the ban_members permission"
I'm tryna display ban_members or manage_guild in my message

[glad cradle]

enable it and try

[fast musk]

have you tried printing just the exception message? Assuming it is generic?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions.missing_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions.missing\_permissions

The required permissions that are missing.

[vital glacier]

oh

[glad cradle]

when a MissingPermissions error is raised you can access the missing_permissions attribute

[vital glacier]

alright but the error basically displays as ['ban_members'] how do i remove the [' '] from the message

lol

[glad cradle]

this is a basic python knowledge

you can use the join method

!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.

[vital glacier]

oh so that would work

ight good to know

[vocal snow]

or if it's just the first item of the list, just use it's index

[shrewd apex]

@vocal snow wanna join pyweek?

[vocal snow]

what is that 👻

[shrewd apex]

we make games using python

[glad cradle]

I think he's sarcastic

[shrewd apex]

[smoky sinew]

are you still looking for people

[shrewd apex]

yep

[smoky sinew]

bet

who else is in

[shrewd apex]

me sarth n snipy

[smoky sinew]

will there be a group chat or server?

[shrewd apex]

care to join

[smoky sinew]

yeah 100%

[shrewd apex]

yeah server

[smoky sinew]

ok dm me the invite

[slate swan]

i wish i ever touched pygame

algum br?

que saiba python

[karmic nimbus]

Is it possible to get someone's nickname history?

[copper bobcat]

pls help me for this

[shrewd apex]

maybe audit log ig but best wau would be to track it on ur own

[shrewd apex]

u dont need discord components

[copper bobcat]

oh

[shrewd apex]

discord.py has everything interaction slash commands buttons and stuff

[copper bobcat]

What should I do?

[shrewd apex]

ur code what do i know replace discord components with discord.py

discord components is a third party outdated library

[copper bobcat]

oh

ok tnx

[tough lance]

Hi, how can I get whole traceback as string?

[keen talon]

Use disnake library

[keen talon]

Why are you using save from.net

[junior walrus]

trying to make a bot look at the few messages before it and look for the latest mention of itself. Then it should store the mentions in that message. How would I do that?

[shrewd apex]

!d traceback.format_exception

[unkempt canyon]

traceback.format\_exception

traceback.format_exception(exc, /, [value, tb, ]limit=None, chain=True)```
Format a stack trace and the exception information. The arguments have the same meaning as the corresponding arguments to [`print_exception()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/traceback.html#traceback.print_exception "traceback.print_exception"). The return value is a list of strings, each ending in a newline and some containing internal newlines. When these lines are concatenated and printed, exactly the same text is printed as does [`print_exception()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/traceback.html#traceback.print_exception "traceback.print_exception").

Changed in version 3.5: The *etype* argument is ignored and inferred from the type of *value*.

Changed in version 3.10: This function’s behavior and signature were modified to match [`print_exception()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/traceback.html#traceback.print_exception "traceback.print_exception").

[tough lance]

Thanks

how do i allow it to delete a certain channel after every hour? I've tried this but it needs an ID

@tasks.loop(minutes=60)

maybe that

[left dew]

it wont delete the channel after the orginial channel has been deleted, because the ID is wrong. so i wont to do it without the id

[slate swan]

How can i set my bot's discord status using the gateway/api

[thin raft]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway-events#presence

[slate swan]

ah

thank you

[thin raft]

np

store it then

should that work?

[thin raft]

:v

[left dew]

ill try

[thin raft]

yup

[left dew]

wait couldn't i just loop through the category and check if a channel with a certain name is there?

Wait, what about status, not presence

[left dew]

  for channel in category.channels:
    if "「🥥」・chat" in category:```

[thin raft]

why would you do that

[left dew]

i dont really understand the way youre saying i shuld do it

youre saying to store the ID but the channel gets deleted every hour

[thin raft]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Bot variables

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[thin raft]

I am storing the new channel

so I delete the last new channel

and set the variable again to be the new channel

[left dew]

i tried your code but got an error

[thin raft]

I need to see the error for know what's happening

[left dew]

AttributeError: 'MyBot' object has no attribute 'last_channel'```

[thin raft]

oh yeah mb

on init set bot.last_channel to None

[left dew]

uhh

i dont like cogs

[thin raft]

...

you need some organisation man

[left dew]

not if i know where evrything in my code is

[thin raft]

it is.

[left dew]

anyway back to the problem

[thin raft]

the problem rn is your unorganised code

[left dew]

its not

[thin raft]

you should use cogs

[left dew]

thats not affecting my code

but i dont want to

[thin raft]

set bot.last_channel to None on init

[left dew]

i dont have an init though

[thin raft]

see how it is an issue

[gaunt spear]

💀

[left dew]

surely theres another way without needing to use init

[thin raft]

yeah, the wrong way

[glad cradle]

he can still configure it as None even without a commands.Bot subclass

[thin raft]

he needs to get track of it

[glad cradle]

just add
MyBot.last_channel = None right after the definition of MyBot

[thin raft]

doesn't feel right 💀

[naive umbra]

it should, because that's totally valid

[glad cradle]

technically the only thing that changes is the time when the attribute is defined

MyBot = commands.Bot(...)
MyBot.last_channel = None

# commands and other things below

[naive umbra]

similarly, you don't inherit discord.Intents just to override the default attributes
you do

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

[left dew]

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[thin raft]

instead of storing a discord.TextChannel store an int

[glad cradle]

yeah you need to check if MyBot.last_channel is None

[left dew]

oh

if it isnt none the channel purges?

[glad cradle]

yeah, instead if it's None you need to start the logic where you do things to create the category (or to do something else, actually I don't know your usecase)

[left dew]

i just want it to delete a channel every hour and remake it

[glad cradle]

ok but the first time (when the bot starts) you don't have the channel cached yet so you need to come up with a logic to fetch it or to do something else

[left dew]

oh

im not sure how to cache

[left dew]

why wouldnt this work?

[glad cradle]

you could use a database instead of doing what you're doing rn

in the database you would store only the id of the category and every 60 minutes you would fetch the category, clone it, delete the old one and update the id present in the database

using a database would be better because it ensures that a category is cached when the bot starts, it would also save the last category if the Bot crashes so it keeps the cache even if the lifetime period of the bot come to an end (thing that is not possible to do barely using python's runtime cache)

[glad cradle]

yeah I guess that you could this too but you need to iterate trough all the channels of the guild

but what if the category was renamed by an admin?

or what if there's another category/channel with the same name?

names aren't unique

[left dew]

ill amke sure there isnt

  for channel in category.channels:
    if "「🥥」・chat" in category:```

could i do that

or category.name

[smoky sinew]

category is an object
