discord bot🙂

need a help on this error

[naive briar]

You're blocking the event loop 🤷

It just told you in the error

[lucid galleon]

ok

[slate swan]

how to fix that

while amount > count:

thats the code thats giving me a error

(btw its a amount: int)

[thin raft]

full code

and full traceback pls

because that shouldn't raise that error

!e

while 1 > "amount":
  pass

@slate swan you see whats wrong?

[slate swan]

dont have no idea what u talking about

you cant add number to a string

its not a string

its a int

the error says otherwise

hold up i have to check again

[polar coyote]

what are you trying to do? what is the purpose of your command

[slate swan]

a gambling bot (for fun)
not real money + not any currency just the bot currency to have fun
and practicing my skills

[polar coyote]

you have fake currency and you gamble it?

[slate swan]

ya

when ever u have 0 it gives u 500

[polar coyote]

show me your code

are you using a database?

[slate swan]

ya

im trying to fix it its giving me lots of errors

[lucid galleon]

where to host discord bot for free?

[formal basin]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 embed = discord.Embed(title="please dont say that", color=discord.Color.blue())
 if message.author.id == client.user.id:
        return 
 message.content
 if message.embeds:
        pass
 else:
     with open('blocked words.txt') as f:
        words = f.read()
        blockedwords = words.split()
        if any(word in message.content.lower() for word in blockedwords):
          await message.delete()
          await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention}", embed=embed, delete_after=10)
      

[formal basin]

this is not working

example a blocked word is loser

and if i type lo it deletes

[polar coyote]

what errors is it giving and what database are you using?

[polar coyote]

what's not working?

[formal basin]

like one blockedword is loser

[polar coyote]

replit

[lucid galleon]

Tried

[formal basin]

and if a type lo it deletes it

[polar coyote]

what have you tried because my bot is currently hosted on there

[lucid galleon]

Replit and upload robot

[polar coyote]

?

[formal basin]

can you help

[formal basin]

this

[lucid galleon]

I have connected my replit with uploadrobot. But by bot is not working like i wanted

I have used huggingface interface api. Uploadbot is making unnecessary request that's i closed my replit

[polar coyote]

what's uploadrobot??

[formal basin]

uptime robot

[polar coyote]

you could find a server for like $1 a month

[formal basin]

its free

[polar coyote]

mine works fine if its making unnecessary requests just buy a server

[formal basin]

uptime robot is free

[lucid galleon]

Ok

[formal basin]

can someone help me

[slate swan]

mongo db

its giving str or int error idk

[formal basin]

#1110954918321328328

[slate swan]

Gimme a second lemme get on my pc

[formal basin]

ok

[slate swan]

!e ```py
bannedWords = ["loser", "lay"] #write the code that grabs the words form the txt
message_content = "I am a los (we will see if it will delete it)"

print("Banned word detected")
#delete the message
else:

#pass ...

[unkempt canyon]

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

Couldn't find the banned words in that message

[slate swan]

@formal basin

its going to be something like that

!e ```py
bannedWords = ["loser", "lay"] #write the code that grabs the words form the txt
message_content = "I am a loser (we will see if it will delete it)"
message_words = message_content.lower().split(" ")

print("Banned word detected")
#delete the message
else:
print("Couldn't find the banned words in that message")
#pass ...

[unkempt canyon]

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

Banned word detected

[slate swan]

see?

[formal basin]

yes

[slate swan]

u can do the samething with ur code

[formal basin]

what do i put in the split

[slate swan]

idk if its allowed but wait

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 embed = discord.Embed(title="please dont say that", color=discord.Color.blue())
 if message.author.id == client.user.id:
        return 
 if message.embeds:
        pass
 else:
     with open('blocked words.txt') as f:
        words = f.read()
        blockedwords = words.split()
        user_message = message.content.lower().split(" ")        
        if any(word for word in user_message if word in blockedwords):
          await message.delete()
          await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention}", embed=embed, delete_after=10)

[slate swan]

you should use a database, its way better

than a txt file

[formal basin]

thanks\

[slate swan]

[spice zenith]

does someone know how to do a command where u give 2 discord users and it show something like this with the name and profile picture of the user inside a preset photo and then insert 2 emotes with the profile pic of the users??

[north kiln]

I mean you essentially do what you said?

Create the image then attach to the embed to send it

[quick gust]

You can use Pillow to create the image

[shrewd apex]

!pypi pillow

[unkempt canyon]

Pillow v9.5.0

Python Imaging Library (Fork)

[whole shoal]

Why does the unknown interaction error occur when I host the bot on a server when when I run it on my laptop it doesn't occur 🗿

[slate swan]

everytime I try to run this python auto closes

[smoky sinew]

don't double click the file then

run it from a terminal

[merry cliff]

Do they have the same versions of all packages installed?

[twilit grotto]

pip freeze on your laptop and save them to a text file and on your server do pip install -r filename.txt so you are running the same version of all of the packages on both ends

[charred badge]

Sorry for the slow response, irl and things on here didn’t leave me much time to try with it all. So I think is missing from my imports. When I try to do slash_commands or app_commands it says things aren’t defined, even when I try to test the code you linked to make sure at least something works with it, it says things like app_commands is not defined. Is there some module I have to install to make this work or something that I’m missing?

[crisp meteor]

does anyone know how i can make a last.fm command? i have the API set up

[full lily]

Could I employ someone to have a quick look at this please? https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1111084441117397033

[cunning gulch]

if I've got a discord bot for rock paper scissors, and it's using options to decide what text it allows as a choice, but i added a variant of the code that adds more things to rps how would i set up it's options, i was told to ask here

[mortal oak]

import random


def random_string():
    random_list = ["Please try writing something more descriptive.",
        "Oh! It appears you wrote something I don't understand yet",
        "Do you mind trying to rephrase that?",
        "I'm terribly sorry, I didn't quite catch that.",
        "I can't answer that yet, please try asking something else."
        ]
    list_count = len(random_list)
    random_item = random.randrange(list_count)
    return random_list(random_item)
print(random_string())
``` it says that "list" object is not callable in line 13

[potent spear]

we can't see your line numbers

this is also pretty irrelevant for this chat 😬

[surreal valve]

u have to do [] not ()

for the return random_list(random_item)

also u can just do return random.choice(random_list)

[naive briar]

Have to do what

[slate swan]

how would i make somthing in discord.py i made a cooldown but i want some user not have the cooldown

[surreal valve]

When accessing something from a list u do list_name[INDEX]

[misty portal]

:)

[smoky sinew]

you have to install discord.py

[slate swan]

Someone help me with this weird error please.

import disnake as discord
from disnake.ext import commands


class Info(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot: commands.InteractionBot = bot

    
    @ commands.slash_command(name='bot-info', description='Gives you information about the bot.')
    async def bot_info(self, inter: discord.AppCmdInter):
        embed = discord.Embed(...)
        embed.add_field(name='Developer', value='Shrey - `Shrey#2722`')

        embed.set_thumbnail(...)
        embed.set_footer(text='Use /help to get started!')

        await inter.send(embed=embed)


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

This is a very simple cog command bot it gives me error.

TypeError: Commands or listeners must not start with cog_ or bot_ (in method Info.bot_info)

[north kiln]

the traceback says it?

don't name your function bot_info

or anything that starts with cog_or bot_

[slate swan]

Commands or listeners must not start with cog_ or bot_

The world would be 10x better if people would take the time to read tracebacks, especially when they're very clear

[naive briar]

Unfortunate

[slate swan]

I read it, I didn't realize it has to do with the name of the command itself sry mybad

[twilit grotto]

(in method Info.bot_info)

[slate swan]

i suck at coding is that okay

[twilit grotto]

we all start somewhere, just read tracebacks.

thats what they're there for.

[slate swan]

It's not about coding here, it's about reading and understanding tracebacks

i read it, i got this error first time thats why i was confused

thx for the help btw

[twilit grotto]

well, now you know :)

if you aren't understanding a traceback, reread your code & the traceback

[vale wing]

I wish docker would give tracebacks why tf it returns empty bodies in a certain container however everything's fine outside 🧐

[twilit grotto]

😭

[vale wing]

Raged about it the whole yesterday's evening gonna rage even more today

[charred badge]

I have that installed and made sure it’s at 2.2.3

[smoky sinew]

installing it is not the same as importing it

[formal basin]

This isn’t giving the role

I’m typing the command and nothing is happening no errors

[formal basin]

It used to work

[north kiln]

Do you have message content intent

[formal basin]

In the code or in discord developer?

[charred badge]

Ty I’ll give it a look. I appreciate it

[smoky sinew]

both

[formal basin]

I got all intents

[smoky sinew]

your command is probably not running then

[formal basin]

Why?

[smoky sinew]

show your full code

[formal basin]

!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.

[formal basin]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/otesefubam

There you go

[smoky sinew]

is the role above the bot and are you typing !verify

[formal basin]

no

[smoky sinew]

which question

[formal basin]

what?

[smoky sinew]

i asked two questions

[formal basin]

i can only see one

[formal basin]

ohhh yes i type !verify

[formal basin]

and no the bot role is higher\

[slate swan]

He’s asking 1. Is the role above the bots role & 2. Are you typing !verify

[formal basin]

yeah i dont know what happened

[slate swan]

Are you sure the bot is running

[formal basin]

yes

[naive briar]

Doubt that

[formal basin]

it is

[slate swan]

try running one of your other commands then

[formal basin]

the other commands work

[naive briar]

What other commands

[formal basin]

slash

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def verify(ctx: commands.Context) -> None:
    role_id = 1088500965759520838
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, id=role_id)
    if role:
        await ctx.author.add_roles(role)
        await ctx.send("Role was added successfully.")
    else:
        await ctx.send("Role not found.")

Perhaps try this to verify it's finding the role.

[formal basin]

ok

[formal basin]

not working

[naive briar]

I doubt that you can even run the bot, honestly. Your code at the line 25 is already incorrect

client.remove_command(help)

help isn't defined anyway

[smoky sinew]

why

[slate swan]

you need to be more specific than that

[formal basin]

it doesnt give me the role

[slate swan]

he forgot quotes

[naive briar]

That's why it's incorrect

[slate swan]

are you sure the id is correct

[formal basin]

no im using a website that already makes a help command

[naive briar]

What does makes a help command even means

The point is, the help name isn't defined anywhere

[formal basin]

when you import discord it creates a help command

[slate swan]

yes, and you're trying to remove the default help command?

[naive briar]

I already know that

[formal basin]

yes

[naive briar]

But, your help name still isn't defined

[slate swan]

Then, you forgot to add quotes to help within the tuple.

[formal basin]

ill make the verify command a slash command

[slate swan]

Iirc having more than one event causes commands to stop working? @naive briar

[naive briar]

No, if you override the on_message event without calling process_commands method, the bot will not, well, process the commands

[formal basin]

ohhhhhhh yes

that is why

[formal basin]

thank you guys

[slate swan]

Ah yeah, my mistake

[charred badge]

Are you talking about import discord.py at the beginning of the code?

[smoky sinew]

what tuple

[smoky sinew]

no

you have to import app_commands from discord

that's the error you got

[charred badge]

I’m either an idiot or I never tried that… swore I did… tyvm! Will make sure the slashes actually get uploaded but I really appreciate your time and patience

[robust fulcrum]

Hi guys , which are the basic python concepts one should know to use discord.py easily?

[smoky sinew]

i'd say object-oriented programming and the async/await pattern

[robust fulcrum]

Any other?

[smoky sinew]

if you learn the two above you will probably already know the smaller ones

[robust fulcrum]

I know both , so i can make bots easily , thanks for telling

[haughty geyser]

P

[serene lynx]

Excuse me, I want to ask, what is the name of the attribute to check roles that have access to certain channels

[vale wing]

That's channel attribute, either channel.overwrites or channel.permissions_for, depending on your case

[serene lynx]

so I want to check whether certain roles can see this channel or not

[serene lynx]

If it's like that, do I have to redo each role individually? to check whether it can see the channel or not

[vale wing]

Yeah that's fine, you can just iterate over them and find out, these are not API calls and not expensive ops

[whole shoal]

I think so I'll update them once again just to make sure

[merry cliff]

ok

[whole shoal]

Oh yeah the server dpy version was outdated thanks for the help guys

[stark socket]

hi i have a discord bot and i want him to get all the members in a discord server but when i do this
"member = get(discServer.members, name=datajson[key])"
i only get the bot as a member

[obsidian fable]

class PlayButton(ui.Button):
        async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            await interaction.response.defer(thinking=True)
            songlink = f"https://api.lonelil.dev/fetch/{songlink}"
            file_bytes = b_download_track(songlink)
            custom_path = "./music/org/"
            with open(f"{custom_path}{name}.ogg", "wb") as f:
                f.write(file_bytes)
            with open(f"{custom_path}{name}.ogg", "rb") as f:
                message = await interaction.response.send_message(f"`{name} by {artists}`:", file=File(f, filename=f"{name}.ogg"))
                await interaction.response.edit_message(message, content=f"`{name} by {artists}` (updated)")

why does it say that the interaction has already been responded?

[stark socket]

do i need to reevinte the bot?

[vocal snow]

What is datajson[key]? Are there other members with the same name as your bot?

Have you enabled the members intent in your code?

[stark socket]

its the name

[stark socket]

i enable it on the aplication

do i need to enable it on the code?

[vocal snow]

deferring is responding, use the followup webhook to send messages

[vocal snow]

Yes

!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.

[obsidian fable]

whats the function for that?

[stark socket]

thanks

[vocal snow]

interaction.followup gives you a Webhook object, you can use .send on that

[obsidian fable]

i see

thank you

[obsidian fable]

still the same problem
WARNING:discord.gateway:Shard ID None heartbeat blocked for more than 20 seconds.
discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[vocal snow]

Can you show your new code?

[obsidian fable]

yes

class PlayButton(ui.Button):
        async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            await interaction.response.defer(thinking=True)
            songlink = f"https://api.lonelil.dev/fetch/{songid}"
            file_bytes = b_download_track(songlink)
            custom_path = "./music/org/"
            with open(f"{custom_path}{name}.ogg", "wb") as f:
                f.write(file_bytes)
            with open(f"{custom_path}{name}.ogg", "rb") as f:
                await interaction.followup.send(f"`{name} by {artists}`:", file=File(f, filename=f"{name}.ogg"))

[vocal snow]

Hmm this looks fine, can you show the full traceback?

[obsidian fable]

oh nevermind I fixed it, turns out it was the api

sorry about that

[vocal snow]

Your code which interacts with the api is blocking, you should make it async

If you're using requests, switch to aiohttp

[obsidian fable]

what are the advantages of aiohttp over requests?

[vocal snow]

It won't pause the entire program when it makes a request and waits for the response

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

[obsidian fable]

I will try and implement that

thank you

[slow fog]

Show code?

[edgy veldt]

I'm trying to host my code on Railway, it's an app that puts Flask and Discord.py together in the same place. The goal is that when you send a post request to the API (flask), the discord bot creates a text channel

but I don't know why when I upload my app to Railway, an infinite loop starts and the app doesn't work

code:

main.py

...
# <--- TRHEADS --->
def run_bot(): bot.run(os.environ.get("TOKEN"))
def run_api(): app.run(port=5000, debug=False)

# <--- RUN --->
flask_thread = threading.Thread(target=run_api)
bot_thread = threading.Thread(target=run_bot)

flask_thread.start()
bot_thread.start()

flask_thread.join()
bot_thread.join()

Procfile

web: gunicorn main:run_api
worker: python main.py run_bot

[whole shoal]

Nothing to do with code probs it works on pc but not on server

[twilit grotto]

is the server slow?

[whole shoal]

Ye

Kinda

[twilit grotto]

thats the only reason i've had that issue before

[whole shoal]

I need to find a better host

[naive briar]

Just show it, just to be sure

[terse elbow]

I need help, I want to create a slash command within a cog and I can't create it as self.tree:

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
        self.guild = 1053710120493776926
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)

    @self.tree.command()```

[hushed galleon]

commands.Bot comes with its own command tree so you dont need to create another one

as for defining the slash commands, use @app_commands.command() and dpy will recognize it when you add the cog

[terse elbow]

Thanks

[terse elbow]

But how to add a guild?

[hushed galleon]

for every command in the cog or just one?

[terse elbow]

for every command

[hushed galleon]

apply @app_commands.guilds(1234, 5678) to the top of your class

hmm i thought there was an example of this in the docs

[terse elbow]

Thanks, I'm outdated I've used to create discord bots before there were slash commands

[hushed galleon]

oh wait, that only applies to GroupCog
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#groupcog

well if you dont mind your commands being a single group you can go that route, otherwise you'll have to apply the decorator to each application command

[terse elbow]

The slash commands will appear without the guild in all of the bot servers?

[hushed galleon]

if you specify guilds() then it can only be synced to whatever guilds you listed, not globally

[terse elbow]

Ok thanks

[terse elbow]

Why the slash command isn't displaying?

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    @app_commands.command(name="rolldice")
    @app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=1053710120493776926))
    @app_commands.describe(num="number")
    async def dice_roll(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, num: int):
        print(f"{interaction.user.mention} said {num}")


async def setup(client) -> None:
    await client.add_cog(DiceRoll(client))```

It worked before using tree

[north kiln]

how are you syncing your tree

[mortal oak]

which library is better for discord bots?

[meager chasm]

Whichever you find more easy to use

[mortal oak]

which one is more beginner friendly?

[vocal plover]

It depends really on what you're looking for, if you want something widely used and 'normal' in the Python ecosystem then discord.py/nextcord/disnake are good choices, depending on your preferred method of doing things (discord.py uses a command tree type thing for slash commands, nextcord and disnake opted for slash commands more similar to normal text commands with decorators), if you want something more explicit/with more precise control then hikari is a good choice

[meager chasm]

None of them are beginner friendly, all use async/await and are very object oriented

[mortal oak]

i still dont know what async def does

neither i know what await does

[meager chasm]

See pins of #async-and-concurrency

[vocal plover]

this might also help you, https://tutorial.vco.sh/tips/blocking/, it's also got some stuff about how to make bots

[meager chasm]

It's essentially a way for parts of your program to pause and unpause inorder to reduce waiting time during I/O operations to allow for a feeling of parallel execution

[terse elbow]

[naive briar]

There's so much wrong with this

[terse elbow]

@naive briar explain

[naive briar]

You should have notice it immediately. In your load method, you're getting a list of files in your current directory, not in the cog folder that you're trying to load it from

[terse elbow]

as for now, they are in the same directory

[naive briar]

Then load in from the current directory

[terse elbow]

Oops

I've changed it to await self.load_extension(f'{filename[:-3]}') but it's still not working

[naive briar]

Any errors? It's not working doesn't make me understand your problem

[terse elbow]

No error. just not showing the slash commend

@naive briar Do you have any idea what the problem might be? I've enabled applications.commands

[naive briar]

You enabled it, but did you invite your bot with it?

[potent spear]

fixed
please don't crosspost
(his cogs weren't even loaded in properly in the first place)

[naive briar]

lmao

[terse elbow]

[slate swan]

You get the errors/logs/outcome, we're not interpreters - you tell us

[terse elbow]

I got no error. the slash command simply not appearing on my server.

[potent spear]

can you verify that your cog is even loaded?

[terse elbow]

I checked it now, and the cog isn't loaded... that's odd do you have any idea why?

[potent spear]

how did you uhm verify it?

[slate swan]

Why are you doing a listdir over /

If you want the current folder it's ./ which is clearly different

[potent spear]

myeah, just putting your cogs in cogs folder would make that less of an issue

[slate swan]

And you should put your cogs in a cogs folder and load from ./cogs

[potent spear]

(which is used in the docs too)

[slate swan]

a question guys

is it possible to make buttons inside an embed?

i was thinking on maybe making an interface for the users

in my bot

like an UI, so peoples could use the bot easier

inside, no

below, yes

okay it seems that i will need to make tutorial of how to use my bot later

i can predict that it can still get overcomplicated

[vale wing]

Bobux bot got such a good tutorial how to use

[vale wing]

Site would be the best solution

[slate swan]

i see

[slate swan]

okay i will need to understand this, since i'm implementing the database into a file outside the bot, gonna be overwhelming, but i need to try my best

okay let me see if i understood the code
the setup hook is the part where it will pre-generate the tables
and the close method is to close the database
and the init is to conect or something to the database
the bot class is the class of the bot
but since i'm using a file outside the bot file... I have no idea how i will implement

what do i change at the class bot and init thing since i'm using a file different from the bot file?

guess i will need to change Bot to database, but... there is the command.Bot thing

i will need to change something here

but something is missing

 if message.author.id == client.user.id:
        return

        pass

          print(f"Toxicity detected by {message.author.name}: {message.content}")

[slate swan]

Because you're doing blockedwords = words.split()

So you're splitting on every whitespace

Considering you have s t u p i

i will be an element in blockedwords

Which will trigger i didn't because it contains i as well

[formal basin]

oh

[slate swan]

You likely want a words.split("\n")

[formal basin]

ok

thanks

[slate swan]

You also shouldn't really open the file on every message but rather keep the content of the file, or the blockedwords directly, cached somewhere in a bot variable for example

[formal basin]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 await client.process_commands(message)
 embed = discord.Embed(title="please dont say that", color=discord.Color.blue())
 if message.author.id == client.user.id:
        return 
 if message.embeds:
        pass
 else:
     with open('blocked words.txt') as f:
        words = f.read()
        blockedwords = words.split("/n")
        user_message = message.content.lower().split(" ")        
        if any(word for word in user_message if word in blockedwords):
          await message.delete()
          await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention}", embed=embed, delete_after=10)
          print(f"Toxicity detected by {message.author.name}: {message.content}")
``` like this

[slate swan]

Looks better

[formal basin]

message.content.lower().split("/n") ```

[formal basin]

should i do that too~

[slate swan]

Well here the issue is that you consider s t u p i a bad word

So that will never be found

And no you shouldn't split with new lines user messages

user messages should be split with spaces

[formal basin]

ok

[slate swan]

But if someone sends s t u p i it won't get caught since the user message will be split to s, t, u, p and i

And none are in your blacklist obviously

[formal basin]

should i put it an spaces

[slate swan]

You can't really do anything against that as a beginner

[formal basin]

ok

[slate swan]

I'd rather use some online service where you send the content and it checks for toxicity and you get the result whether it's toxic or not, or use some algorithm - although those have lots of false positives

[formal basin]

[formal basin]

it is like this now

but still doestnt work

[slate swan]

Because of the reason I stated

Use an online service to check against profanity, Perspective is free and performant

[formal basin]

idk how to use api

[slate swan]

They have a documentation, if you need help implementing it you can always use #1035199133436354600

https://developers.perspectiveapi.com/s/docs-sample-requests?language=en_US

There even is example code in Python :)

[slate swan]

thought being a nerd is not a bad trait, it's a good trait

since it means that you have brains

[formal basin]

people call other people that in a bad way

thats why

[slate swan]

People call others "donkey" in a bad way as well

Just like lots and lots of other words

it's like "banana" from my country

That's why APIs like Perspective do what you need, they check context with machine learning etc.

originally it's to refer to a fruit

but here it's to refer as a bad way

like calling someone "um banana"

or saying "a preço de banana"

[slate swan]

oh perfect

[vocal plover]

just my 2 cents as someone who does a lot of moderation stuff, I'd really discourage filtering automatically like this, while you can do this it'll result in a community that people don't want to engage in if there's a lot of filters that take commonly said things and always assume the context is bad

simple text filters cannot replace humans reading context and taking action, ML-based stuff is better but not perfect

[formal basin]

ik i still have mods

[formal basin]

blockedwords = ["idiot", "i d i o t", "i-d-i-o-t", "i_d_i_o_t", "i.d.i.o.t", "stupi", "s-t-u-p-i", "s_t_u_p_i", "s.t.u.p.i", "s t u p i",  "dum", "d-u-m", "d_u_m", "d.u.m", "d u m", "nerd", "n-e-r-d", "n_e_r_d", "n.e.r.d", "n e r d", "sucker", "s-u-c-k-e-r", "s_u_c_k_e_r", "s.u.c.k.e.r", "fat", "f-a-t","f_a_t", "f.a.t", "f a t", "loser", "l o s e r", "l.o.s.e.r", "l-o-s-e-r", 
                        "l_o_s_e_r"]
        if any (word in message.content.lower() for word in blockedwords):
          await message.delete()
          await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention}", embed=embed, delete_after=10)
          print(f"Toxicity detected by {message.author.name}: {message.content}")
``` it doesnt work i tried to change it

[potent spear]

there will always be people creative enough to bypass this type of filter, discord has a built-in feature for censoring swear words, I'd suggest using that one instead?

[slate swan]

thought people also use the P word as a way to offend the other

but i guess it's way too heavy

[vocal plover]

we've got something like ~15 words actually blocked and they're all ones that pretty much cannot be used in a non-malicious context, and moderation is still easy enough, you can honestly just stick a few slurs in native automod and be fine tbh

(you may be able to tell I'm not a fan of naive text filters )

[formal basin]

i got it working again

[slate swan]

n|e|r|d

[vocal plover]

or just placing a single joiner character, ner.d

[slate swan]

yeah

honestly just enable that and do manual moderation

the feature you're working on is kind of pointless

[slate swan]

Actually even funnier, just writing a sentence

You're such a nerd.

[vocal plover]

that would get flagged

since its now doing striung in string rather than string in list

[slate swan]

ah yeah changed the check in-between

[shrewd apex]

or just in some weird font

[slate swan]

Hey what IDE/IDLE do I use to make a discord bot

[vocal plover]

Any IDE that supports python

[slate swan]

Which one would you call the best in terms of features?

[vocal plover]

the most popular ones are visual studio code (vscode) and pycharm, both are pretty much as good as eachother, though for some features in pycharm you need a paid license/to be a student

[slate swan]

Oh okay thank you

[vocal plover]

np

[slate swan]

or apply for open source license*

[vocal plover]

yeah that too

[slate swan]

Though the base functionalities are free and should be enough for beginners

Or even advanced people

[vocal plover]

i just stick with vsc because I don't want to bother with the hassle of getting pycharm stuff running and I have a good config already

[slate swan]

Yeah makes sense

[vocal plover]

but either will do you just as well really

[slate swan]

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

How do I fix this

I'm trying to install discord in the terminal

I did

pip install discord

[hushed galleon]

on windows you likely have the py python launcher, so install with py -m pip install discord.py instead (discord is a mirror of discord.py)

[slate swan]

what does -m stand for

[hushed galleon]

or you can create and activate a virtual environment which should provide its own pip

[hushed galleon]

its how you run a module/package directly, rather than some .py script

[slate swan]

Oh I don't know what those are

is it like a library?

[vocal plover]

yes, module/package/library are used essentially interchangably in discussion about python

[hushed galleon]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html

[slate swan]

oh ok ty

[slate swan]

thanks

[slate swan]

Hey I'm reading a documentation on the discord module, and I don't know what intents means, can someone help?

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

[vocal snow]

!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]

What's the gateway

[vocal snow]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway

[slate swan]

Man this is so overwhelming

How much do I need to know in python

[ocean mango]

Is there any way to make a bot output 9 images in a 3x3 grid?

[slate swan]

I think my level is at PCEP

[shrewd apex]

format the image urself?

[ocean mango]

the position of the image on the 3x3 is not constant, I should probably use Pillow or something, theres no way to do it using embeds or normal file upload?

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied timeout to @ocean mango until <t:1685043966:f> (10 minutes) (reason: attachments spam - sent 9 attachments).

The <@&831776746206265384> have been alerted for review.

[shrewd apex]

if u just want to send multiple imagen in one embed u could

dont think its gonna show up as 3x3 matrix on discord

[vale wing]

[plain pollen]

!unmute 627192394399350795

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: pardoned infraction timeout for @ocean mango.

[ocean mango]

ty

[plain pollen]

oops, you sent the same image 9 times and it triggered the bot filter :P

[ocean mango]

was trying to demonstrate what I meant

[plain pollen]

ahhh, i see

[merry cliff]

I mean I know sending two identical embed with the same url but different images will send one embed with both images so maybe you could try nine?

Sounds a bit iffy tho

[shrewd apex]

i am 70% sure it will show up with

| a | b |
| a | c |

[ocean mango]

I do not know what that means, I just need at least 3 images to be adjacent to each other

[merry cliff]

So you know how when you create an embed you can give the title a irl

[ocean mango]

yes

[merry cliff]

If it’s the same for multiple embed with images then it will stick all the embeds into one and have multiple images

[ocean mango]

am I suppose to replace a b c d with image url?

[shrewd apex]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63100479/multiple-photos-in-discord-py-embed

[ocean mango]

how do you merge embeds like that?

[merry cliff]

Yeah I haven’t seen anything more than that but could just be because nobody has tried

[shrewd apex]

just make sure embed url is same

[ocean mango]

yes this could work

[merry cliff]

Might not work with nine

[ocean mango]

wb 3x1

then i just ouput that 3 times separately

[merry cliff]

If it’s three it won’t be in a row discord will make one larger and the other two smaller

To fit them in a square

[ocean mango]

I see

[merry cliff]

Just curious why do u need 3x3 images?

[ocean mango]

building a game

[merry cliff]

Can you explain the idea

[ocean mango]

So its a card game which relies on the concept of adjacent placement

[merry cliff]

Oh

I think PIL will be better for that honestly

[ocean mango]

yes

[merry cliff]

For a smooth image

[ocean mango]

Sorry for disturbing, but do you have documentation on how I can composite one image over another using PIL

[merry cliff]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62427131/python3-and-pillow-pil-add-an-image-on-top-of-other-image-with-transparency

[ocean mango]

ty

[merry cliff]

Do that but 9 times

[cunning gulch]

how do i set up a list of what my bot will accept as a response for a command, example: rock paper scissors bot only accepts the answer rock paper or scissors for a command, if anything else is said it ignores it and waits for one of the options stated?

[ocean mango]

if-else

[cunning gulch]

?

lets say i wanted a bot to only respond to the options rock, paper, scissors, lizard, spock
how would i do that using if else

idrk how discord bots work im really new to all of it

[formal basin]

a command or a normal message?

[cunning gulch]

uhh

can i dm you what it looks like so far?

or is it ok to post big messages here

[formal basin]

!pastr

[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.

im trying to make it only respond to rock paper scissors lizard and spock

[formal basin]

oh

[cunning gulch]

my normal rps command uses the options method but idk how to make another one and not have them interfere

this one still has it there rn because i just copied the code to add lizard and spock im not finished yet

[formal basin]

i dont know

What does try do?

[merry cliff]

It tried to execute the code below but if an exception is raised, it goes the to the except code which handles the error

[unkempt canyon]

Error handling

A key part of the Python philosophy is to ask for forgiveness, not permission. This means that it's okay to write code that may produce an error, as long as you specify how that error should be handled. Code written this way is readable and resilient.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
except ValueError:
    print("failed to convert user_input to a number. setting number to 0.")
    number = 0

You should always specify the exception type if it is possible to do so, and your try block should be as short as possible. Attempting to handle broad categories of unexpected exceptions can silently hide serious problems.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
    item = some_list[number]
except:
    print("An exception was raised, but we have no idea if it was a ValueError or an IndexError.")

For more information about exception handling, see the official Python docs, or watch Corey Schafer's video on exception handling.

[slate swan]

He didn't use any except here why?

[merry cliff]

I don’t see a try either

So there’s no need for an except

[slate swan]

Oh sorry I'm a bit sleepy, this was another file

😅

[merry cliff]

Np

[slate swan]

I'm still watching the video, he hasn't done the except part yet

[merry cliff]

What year was the tutorial u are watching made

Or how many years ago

It looks a bit outdated

Also you kind of peaked your bot token

You should reset it ASAP from the dev portal @slate swan

[slate swan]

Oh no this isn't mine hehe

It's from a video I'm watching

[merry cliff]

Oh ok

[slate swan]

I'm away from my computer at the moment so I'm just trying to understand what's going on

[slate swan]

It was made 7 months ago

[merry cliff]

Wait what

[slate swan]

!await

[merry cliff]

That’s for asynchronous stuff

[slate swan]

Idk what that stuff is

[merry cliff]

So it can run at the same time as other stuff

[slate swan]

All I know is asynchronous means not happening at the same time

[unkempt canyon]

Concurrency in Python

Python provides the ability to run multiple tasks and coroutines simultaneously with the use of the asyncio library, which is included in the Python standard library.

This works by running these coroutines in an event loop, where the context of the running coroutine switches periodically to allow all other coroutines to run, thus giving the appearance of running at the same time. This is different to using threads or processes in that all code runs in the main process and thread, although it is possible to run coroutines in other threads.

To call an async function we can either await it, or run it in an event loop which we get from asyncio.

To create a coroutine that can be used with asyncio we need to define a function using the async keyword:

async def main():
    await something_awaitable()

Which means we can call await something_awaitable() directly from within the function. If this were a non-async function, it would raise the exception SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function

To run the top level async function from outside the event loop we need to use asyncio.run(), like this:

import asyncio

async def main():
    await something_awaitable()

asyncio.run(main())

Note that in the asyncio.run(), where we appear to be calling main(), this does not execute the code in main. Rather, it creates and returns a new coroutine object (i.e main() is not main()) which is then handled and run by the event loop via asyncio.run().

To learn more about asyncio and its use, see the asyncio documentation.

[slate swan]

So it synchronises unsychronised stuff?

[merry cliff]

Not really

Basically it’s so that more than one person can use the bot at a time

But what are you trying to make specifically?

Video looks a bit odd for a basic bot

[slate swan]

It says easiest discord chatbot

I just want to work my way up because I just finished the basics of python, and all this stuff in Discord being introduced me such as API, async, await, threads, coroutines, had never been taught to me.

[merry cliff]

Maybe start off with a basic bot then, this one looks like it is teaching bad practices such as handling commands with on_message

[slate swan]

Oh

Where do I start with a basic bot

[merry cliff]

Which library are u using

[slate swan]

discord

[merry cliff]

Discord.py?

[slate swan]

Yeah

[merry cliff]

Ok

I would teach you myself but I’m on phone rn so unless ur willing to wait like 3 hours then search on yt for a basic discord.py tutorial made in 2022 at the latest

[slate swan]

I can't stay up for 3 hours more. It's already late 😔

[merry cliff]

Yeah

Not a great idea

[slate swan]

I wouldn't use YT for discord.py personally, there are plenty of examples in their docs and on GitHub. A lot of the YT videos out there can be misleading

[merry cliff]

Yeah

[merry cliff]

discord.gg/dpy if u need more help

Thank you

[unkempt canyon]

Seek

In the context of a file object, the seek function changes the stream position to a given byte offset, with an optional argument of where to offset from. While you can find the official documentation here, it can be unclear how to actually use this feature, so keep reading to see examples on how to use it.

File named example:

foobar
spam eggs

Open file for reading in byte mode:

f = open('example', 'rb')

Note that stream positions start from 0 in much the same way that the index for a list does. If we do f.seek(3, 0), our stream position will move 3 bytes forward relative to the beginning of the stream. Now if we then did f.read(1) to read a single byte from where we are in the stream, it would return the string 'b' from the 'b' in 'foobar'. Notice that the 'b' is the 4th character. Also note that after we did f.read(1), we moved the stream position again 1 byte forward relative to the current position in the stream. So the stream position is now currently at position 4.

Now lets do f.seek(4, 1). This will move our stream position 4 bytes forward relative to our current position in the stream. Now if we did f.read(1), it would return the string 'p' from the 'p' in 'spam' on the next line. Note this time that the character at position 6 is the newline character '\n'.

Finally, lets do f.seek(-4, 2), moving our stream position backwards 4 bytes relative to the end of the stream. Now if we did f.read() to read everything after our position in the file, it would return the string 'eggs' and also move our stream position to the end of the file.

Note
• For the second argument in seek(), use os.SEEK_SET, os.SEEK_CUR, and os.SEEK_END in place of 0, 1, and 2 respectively.
• os.SEEK_CUR is only usable when the file is in byte mode.

My slash command dont work

[vale wing]

You should take a look at the example how it's done, right now it makes little sense and the modules naming convention is incorrect https://github.com/Exenifix/disnake-bot-template-postgres

Specifically take a look at utils.database.Database, how it's connected to utils.bot.Bot and how it's used in cogs

[west comet]

Why does my code not work

[vale wing]

Uh dude we don't have technologies that make us able to read the whole problem from mind of a discord user remotely, could you please share your code, explain what doesn't work and provide errors traceback if applicable?

when i run import discord in replit

it gives me this shit someone hallpppppppp

[thin raft]

install it

[slow wing]

did

pip install discord
An error occurred during configuration: option use-feature: invalid choice: 'content-addressable-pool' (choose from '2020-resolver', 'fast-deps', 'in-tree-build')

[slate swan]

@slow wing do

pip install discord.py

Ig

[slow wing]

i got discord in replit

still its saying that

[slate swan]

Hm

Make new repl then

[slow wing]

hm okok lets try

Traceback (most recent call last):

@still plover

man u there @still plover

[slate swan]

No need to spam ping people, we're not your personal assistants

[slow wing]

ok

sorrry

[slate swan]

python -m pip uninstall discord
python -m pip install discord.py
python main.py

[slow wing]

An error occurred during configuration: option use-feature: invalid choice: 'content-addressable-pool' (choose from '2020-resolver', 'fast-deps', 'in-tree-build')

[slate swan]

Re-install pip

[slow wing]

in replit how to

[slate swan]

Or delete the entire conf file

replit

[slow wing]

woah nice skull

[slate swan]

Better to ask them out, not sure how they handle pip and python packages

[slow wing]

ahh idk anymore leave it

[slate swan]

You can try to add a requirements.txt file and write discord.py in it

Maybe replit auto-installs

[slow wing]

did that

still not working

[slate swan]

Yeah then replit skill issue, should ask them

Shouldn't use it either way

[slow wing]

hmmmm

[still plover]

Copy code

And do in new project

[naive briar]

Replit uses poetry

[slow wing]

yes theres file named poetry

[naive briar]

So, just poetry add discord.py or literally just use their packages tab

[slow wing]

[[package]]
category = "main"
description = "A mirror package for discord.py. Please install that instead."
name = "discord.py"
optional = false
python-versions = "*"
version = "1.0.1"

says this (but i did that discord.py from discord)

then this

Replit: Updating package configuration

--> poetry remove discord
exec: "poetry": executable file not found in $PATH

Replit: Package operation failed.

if i try to remove the existing discord

[vale wing]

Just accept that replit took the L and switch to VSC or pycharm

Or notepad if you are real pro

[slate swan]

how do I run my discord bot

python3 zephyrith.py

Doesn't work

doesn't work

[slow wing]

i closed all the stuff out of frustration

btw tell me how

What are intents

[slow wing]

stonk

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. 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]

The shared IP part is probably the most important point

As well as underpowered machines but yeah, if you make some private bot it's not that relevant eventually

[slow wing]

so i copy everything that person uploaded on replit and past it on my computer and run it?

[slate swan]

I'm watching a tutorial

[oak warren]

i mean its just a variable

[slate swan]

I know it doesn't make sense, but it's trial and error 😦

[oak warren]

i have told it multiple times here already

[vocal snow]

discord.py tutorials are usually outdated and the ones on youtube are infamous for their bad quality

[oak warren]

i know pep and all that but still variable is a variable

[oak warren]

can confirm

[vocal snow]

that does not mean you should call apples oranges

[slate swan]

I don't understand what Intents.default means T_T

I only know the basics of python such as for loops, while loops, 2D arrays, arrays, and functions

What do I learn

what's OOP

[oak warren]

it depends on the programmer with what they want to call it

I get its a good practice to name it correctly for future and code sharing purposes but while you are starting just to be comfortable you should name it as you want so that you can understand what you are doing and later on update it

[oak warren]

well anyways its out of scope for this channel

[slate swan]

Oh, do you have any recommendations

[vocal snow]

so you're saying naming a variable client instead of bot is going to help them understand what they are doing?

[vocal snow]

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-osiE80TeTsqhIuOqKhwlXsIBIdSeYtc

[north kiln]

Ppl just follow bad tutorials or chatgpt to name commands.Bot client most of the time

[oak warren]

i was here to ask about how to go about with using cooldowns in databases

[slate swan]

After I finish OOP what do I do

[vocal snow]

I would recommend understanding the async/await pattern, that will be quite useful

[slate swan]

async and await is a built in function in Python?

[vocal snow]

they are keywords, not functions

[slate swan]

oh what do the keywords do

[oak warren]

yea i know the difference but again most are gonna follow an outdated tutorial so it really wont matter at this point sadly

[oak warren]

anyways bump since it was missed

so i actually wanted 2 commands one slash and one prefix both in different files to have the same cooldown because it replies to one database but i asked elsewhere and i found no solution so i thought to moving the cooldown from the default system to a database

command and no hybrid because i am not using discord.py i am using disnake

i dont want to learn tree commands

[slate swan]

Guys, coroutines are functions that can be stopped and resumed when executed right?

[oak warren]

yes this will not work for 2 different commands in 2 different files.

more specfically 2 different types of commands

look the prefix and the slash command does the same thing

thats why i want to make a database for cooldown

[vale wing]

Disnake's pretty much the same

Except the import

[oak warren]

my god..

i have a cooldown i just want to convert it to a database based cooldown

[north kiln]

I mean how would a database have cool down built in

[oak warren]

thats the reason i am asking

[vocal snow]

what's the reason for a database? Do you just want persistent cooldowns?

[oak warren]

here is the reason

[vocal snow]

disnake has dynamic cooldowns: https://docs.disnake.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

you can have some data structure that stores the user id, command name and duration that the cooldown expires

[oak warren]

again not for 2 different type of commands

[vocal snow]

read again. It accepts a callable that returns the cooldown.

and I believe disnake has no seperate module for app commands like dpy has

[oak warren]

let me repeat it once more

i have a prefix command and a slash command that do the same thing and same cooldown but if one is used the other can be too and i like to keep my code clean so these are in 2 different files

i tried multiple methods of linking the cooldown ( inbuilt to the library ) and it didnt work and figured it will be easier to just move the cooldown to a database because i already have one

and i want to know how should i be doing it " the right way "

[slate swan]

guys

async is the keyword to make a coroutine function?

[vocal snow]

I understand. I don't understand why you need a database for this when you can just use something simple like a dictionary

cooldowns = {(user_id, command_name): datetime_when_cd_expires}

a simple mapping like that, then you can have a check on your commands that make a simple dict lookup

[slate swan]

!e print('hi')

!e print('test')

[north kiln]

this is not #bot-commands

[vocal snow]

since the command name of the prefix and slash command is presumably the same, you'll have the same cooldown on both of them

[oak warren]

okay i shall try that thank you

i understand what you mean now

i was trying with the message and not command name

[vocal snow]

I just hope disnake supports checks on slash commands

[oak warren]

it does

[slate swan]

Hey what is instance considered to be in programming

[vocal snow]

!class

[unkempt canyon]

Classes

Classes are used to create objects that have specific behavior.

Every object in python has a class, including lists, dictionaries and even numbers. Using a class to group code and data like this is the foundation of Object Oriented Programming. Classes allow you to expose a simple, consistent interface while hiding the more complicated details. This simplifies the rest of your program and makes it easier to separately maintain and debug each component.

Here is an example class:

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, somedata):
        self.my_attrib = somedata

    def show(self):
        print(self.my_attrib)

To use a class, you need to instantiate it. The following creates a new object named bar, with Foo as its class.

bar = Foo('data')
bar.show()

We can access any of Foo's methods via bar.my_method(), and access any of bars data via bar.my_attribute.

[vocal snow]

in the second example, bar is an instance of Foo

the same way 10 is an instance of int, or "hello world" is an instance of str

[slate swan]

bar is an instance of Foo?

[vocal snow]

yes

bar is an instance of the class Foo

bar = Foo('data')

[slate swan]

Oh I don't know what Foo is

[vocal snow]

it's the class, read this please

[slate swan]

So classes give behavior to instances

what's foo doing

[vocal snow]

there is no foo

[slate swan]

Foo

[vocal snow]

what about Foo

it's code is right there

[slate swan]

I've never seen someone in my life write a function like this init

[vocal snow]

it takes some data, assigns it as an attribute and has a method that prints that attribute

[vocal snow]

please watch the Corey Schafer OOP playlist, it explains very clearly how classes and objects work

[slate swan]

okay

[vocal snow]

as well as dunder methods and other OO concepts like inheritance

[slate swan]

I thought I was missing out or something

cause he said Instantiating

I've never learnt that thing

I had to search it up

Thanks for the help though

Hey @vocal snow

In python when I'm using an instance and then a dot after it then another word. Does that mean I'm creating new fields in a database

or is the whole thing just a variable

[vocal snow]

Does that mean I'm creating new fields in a database
No, there are no databases involved

think of it as a variable which is attached to the instance

[slate swan]

oh it just reminded me of SQL

thanks

[vocal snow]

you could think of it as a table, but the data isn't actually persistent

consider a table Employee: ```sql
CREATE TABLE Employee (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT
);

this is similar to the class definition: ```py
class Employee:
def init(self, id: int, name: str):
self.id = id
self.name = name

in the table, each row (called a record) is like an instance

[marble wasp]

why doesnt my bot give roles or remove them on update, nor posting embeds into specified channel

[vocal snow]

do you have member intents enabled?

[slate swan]

So the arguments within the init function make up an instance

[marble wasp]

yes

[vocal snow]

the arguments in the _init_ must be passed to create a new instance, yes

[naive briar]

Not if you don't make it do so

!e

class AClass:
    def __init__(self, arg):
        pass

a = AClass(123)
print(a.arg)

then you can access it properly.

        await channel.send(embed=embed)

doenst give role nor posting embeds

[naive briar]

Yup

[slate swan]

I don't understand, why is there first argument/instance considered to be a variable

[vocal snow]

maybe add an else: and make sure the statements are executing as desired

[marble wasp]

else instead of elif?

[slate swan]

Why is it like that

[vocal snow]

no, a separate else to handle the case where the if and elif dont execute

[naive briar]

So you can access the instance within its methods

[marble wasp]

oh right

[slate swan]

the function was called after the variable, how does the function know that emp_1 is self

is it just a thing we do

[vocal snow]

emp_1 is just a name given to the instance afterwards

Employee('Corey', 'Schafer', 50000) is itself the instance

[slate swan]

where is the argument for self?

!self

[unkempt canyon]

Class instance

When calling a method from a class instance (ie. instance.method()), the instance itself will automatically be passed as the first argument implicitly. By convention, we call this self, but it could technically be called any valid variable name.

class Foo:
    def bar(self):
        print('bar')

    def spam(self, eggs):
        print(eggs)

foo = Foo()

If we call foo.bar(), it is equivalent to doing Foo.bar(foo). Our instance foo is passed for us to the bar function, so while we initially gave zero arguments, it is actually called with one.

Similarly if we call foo.spam('ham'), it is equivalent to
doing Foo.spam(foo, 'ham').

Why is this useful?

Methods do not inherently have access to attributes defined in the class. In order for any one method to be able to access other methods or variables defined in the class, it must have access to the instance.

Consider if outside the class, we tried to do this: spam(foo, 'ham'). This would give an error, because we don't have access to the spam method directly, we have to call it by doing foo.spam('ham'). This is also the case inside of the class. If we wanted to call the bar method inside the spam method, we'd have to do self.bar(), just doing bar() would give an error.

[slate swan]

Self is passed by python lets say

[vocal snow]

also should note that Employee('Corey', 'Schafer', 50000) doesn't call the __init__ first, it calls __new__ which creates the object, calls the _init_ and returns the object

although for now you can just think of it as python passing self implicitly

[slate swan]

So to summarize it self is an instance used to call methods in a class

because methods in a class can't be called directly without an instance which builds a link to call the method

am I right?

self is instance object in class

[naive briar]

You can call a method without an instance if it's a staticmethod

[slate swan]

I meant we use a variable to send an argument

I'm now confused again

[naive briar]

What

[slate swan]

isn't emp_1 a variable that's sent as an argument to self

not really

I really don't understand then

So, what's being sent to self

[naive briar]

What's so confusing

[naive briar]

The instance 🤷

[slate swan]

There are 4 arguments here, the guy calls the function but there are 3 arguments

what part is the instance

[naive briar]

self

[slate swan]

how does the computer know that self isn't Corey or Test

Cause its 1st argument always

I don't really understand

he inputted 3 arguments but the function has 4 arguments in the parameters

[naive briar]

Sigh

[slate swan]

Does it magically know

1st argument is always instance

or is there hidden code which does that

Cause self is passed automatically as first argument always in methods

[naive briar]

Python does it in the background

[slate swan]

and for it do that the name of the function in the class must be innit?

or does this apply to every class function

Every method in class gets self as first parameter

[naive briar]

To every method, except staticmethods

[slate swan]

Not only init

Exceptions are staticmethods and classmethods

[slate swan]

in

emp_1 = Employee('Corey', 'Schafer', 50000)

Would self become emp_1

not the variable

but inherit the name emp_1

[slate swan]

self just represents some instance of the Employee class, so if you were to call a method on your emp_1 instance, then self would just be emp_1

thank you

[slate swan]

I have a question, once we call the employee class in the emp_1 variable, does it become an instance of employee?

[slate swan]

Employee('Corey', 'Schafer', 50000) is what's actually creating an instance of the Employee class. emp_1 = ... is just assigning that instance to the emp_1 variable, so that it can be referenced later on in your code.

thank you

so are classes just used to store functions?

[slate swan]

Classes are primarily used to create your own type of objects, with their own set of attributes, and their own set of methods.

Yes, they can also be used to "organise" functions in a way.
You can decorate a function within a class using the @classmethod decorator and you'd then call that method on the class itself, rather than having to create an instance of the class and call the method on the instance. But be mindful that classmethods use the cls parameter in place of self.

[slate swan]

attributes mean data right?

[slate swan]

oh nice

[slate swan]

self.name = "John" would be an example of an instance attribute. self.name is the attribute itself, while "John" is the value of that attribute

[slate swan]

the .name part is the attribute right?

Yeah you're right

thanks

so can i say attributes are like properties?

Properties are something slightly different, so call them attributes

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

Yo @slate swan @vocal snow

Check out what I did with Class and Instance variables

It's great to see people getting into new stuff and making it work, but maybe you missed the purpose of the #discord-bots channel

[slate swan]

Yeah mb

[vocal snow]

Just a tip, try to name your classes with PascalCase (it's just convention)

[slate swan]

Oh ok

thanks

I don't even know what I did that my bot logging used to provide full tracebacks but now traceback.format_exc() just gives NoneType: None

[formal basin]

normalmsg = ['hello']
 res = f"Hello {message.author.mention}", f"Hi {message.author.mention}"
 if any (word in message.content.lower() for word in normalmsg):
       await message.channel.send(random.choices(res))
 
 if message.content.lower().startswith("hi"):
   await message.channel.send(random.choice(res))
``` my bot is sending ['Hi @formal basin']

instead of Hi @formal basin

[north kiln]

!d random.choices

[unkempt canyon]

random.choices

random.choices(population, weights=None, *, cum_weights=None, k=1)```
Return a *k* sized list of elements chosen from the *population* with replacement. If the *population* is empty, raises [`IndexError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#IndexError "IndexError").

If a *weights* sequence is specified, selections are made according to the relative weights. Alternatively, if a *cum\_weights* sequence is given, the selections are made according to the cumulative weights (perhaps computed using [`itertools.accumulate()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.accumulate "itertools.accumulate")). For example, the relative weights `[10, 5, 30, 5]` are equivalent to the cumulative weights `[10, 15, 45, 50]`. Internally, the relative weights are converted to cumulative weights before making selections, so supplying the cumulative weights saves work.

[north kiln]

^^^

Returns a list

[whole shoal]

Why does this error occur?

Cause it ran fine for the first 15 iterations

[formal basin]

you changed your webhook token

[whole shoal]

What man i didn't change nothing

[formal basin]

but in the error it says invalid webhook token

[whole shoal]

Why did it not happen for the first 15 iterations then

[formal basin]

so you need to put the webhook token

[formal basin]

because something happened to the webhook token

so you need to put a new token into it

[whole shoal]

Man im not even using webhook

[formal basin]

show your code

[whole shoal]

class No_prot_pot(discord.ui.View):

        for item in self.children:
            item.disabled=True
        await self.message.edit(view=self)

[formal basin]

oh idk that

[hushed galleon]

how long did you set your timeout?

and where do you assign message to?

cause i think that error message means your interaction has expired

[whole shoal]

30 seconds

[whole shoal]

In another func

[whole shoal]

Hm why did it work for the first 15 iterations then

[hushed galleon]

your interaction token hadnt yet expired

yeah i checked discord developers, 401 invalid webhook token is what you get when using an interaction past its 15 minute lifespan

[upbeat badge]

can anybody tell me how to implement RedPajama-INCITE-Chat-3B-v1 into the chatbot? it is basically a open source database

i am trying so hard but unable to do that

[whole shoal]

Is there any way to fix it

[vocal snow]

how is self.message defined?

[slate swan]

is there a way to get thsi to send as an embed? or do interactions have to be normal messages

class ApplyModal(discord.ui.Modal, title="Builder"):
    t = discord.ui.TextInput(label="Embed Title", placeholder="   ", style=discord.TextStyle.short)
    v = discord.ui.TextInput(label="Embed Description", placeholder="    ", style=discord.TextStyle.long)

            #ctx=await ctx.original_response()
            selector_list.message=await ctx.followup.send(embed=embed102, view=selector_list)

[vocal snow]

send_message has an embed kwarg

[vocal snow]

I guess you can't edit the followup webhook message after 15 minutes as described in that screenshot sent above

maybe just send a message to the channel directly

via interaction.channel.send

[whole shoal]

Will webhookmessage.fetch work?

new_message= await message.fetch()?

[vocal snow]

doubt so since it seems like discord invalidates the followup webhook itself after 15 minutes

[whole shoal]

Theres no limit for this one right?

[slate swan]

how exactly would that be done inside interactions?

[vocal snow]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[slate swan]

ok ok

[snow coral]

i keep getting this error

TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'str'

im trying to get a random number, and have the bot say it

[vocal snow]

code please

[snow coral]

oh

[snow coral]

sorry

lemme get it

[snow coral]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/dayobatopi

[vocal snow]

"Higher or lower? Your number is: ", + str((random_number))

you have a comma after the string literal

and would recommend using an fstring

!fstring

[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.

[snow coral]

it was the comma

tysm

how can i get the up arrow and down arrow reactions on the message below it

[snow coral]

^ code

[vocal snow]

channel.send will return the Message object, call add_reaction on that

[swift acorn]

How would I go about checking which invite code a member joined with in the on_member_join event?

[vocal snow]

although I really dislike how your code is structured, it only allows for one game session at a time

and if someone reacts with 👍 before the attribute is set then it's going to crash

you should just wait for a reaction_add event in the command

[snow coral]

how could i code it better

[whole shoal]

You should use buttons

[snow coral]

i could try that

[harsh marsh]

hey

https://pypi.org/project/discord.py-pagination/

can I make embed pagination with this ?

[shrewd apex]

!pypi reactionmenu

[unkempt canyon]

reactionmenu v3.1.3

A library to create a discord.py 2.0+ paginator. Supports pagination with buttons, reactions, and category selection using selects.

[shrewd apex]

this one is good^^

[harsh marsh]

i arldydid with reaction

it is working good but I want to change with slash command

so the code is no longer the same

button are more appropriate but more difficult too

[ebon island]

Has anyone here fully set up Discord.py 2.0 and wavelink along with working slash commands and preferably also that menu pagination and would be willing to spend an hour tops setting up a base project doing all of the above? I'd be willing to pay 50$ for a confident and capable hand in it. I am a full stack software engineer and have an existing large-scale project using disnake[discord] and wavelink but the disnake[discord] wrapper is no longer supported and refactoring has been a big roadblock so just a guiding hand in terms of the syntax and all of that to run through it quickly would be very helpful. I have looked at the documentation and understand it but I want someone knowledgeable who has built a project at scale to show me if there are any shortcuts or optimizations I would be missing and things of that nature that might make the process of making the transition easier and less stressful since it is already going to be a large refactor. Let me know and I will be happy to pay upon completion of the above described effort!

                        "description": description,
                        "title": title,
                    }
                ]```

[whole shoal]

color=discord.Color.colname()

[slate swan]

????????

i literally just said through webhooks

[slate swan]

"color": 10201343 (or whatever integer from 0 to 16777215) sets the embed colour if I remember correct

[thorn leaf]

discord.Color.color_you_want() is just a hex code

It's the same thing as putting the number for the same color there

Oh, you're confused about the key name

[naive briar]

They're probably talking about sending a webhook message without a client library

[snow coral]

i keep getting this error

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sinideyefo line 19

[sick birch]

Did you mean to have that if statement in your on_message function?

[snow coral]

lemme try that

[sick birch]

on_ready isn't good for much more than simply printing out that you're logged in (like you already have done)

[snow coral]

now i got IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

[sick birch]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

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

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

Example

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

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

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

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

[sick birch]

Python works off indentation - make sure it's consistent

E.g everything you want to be part of an if statement should be indented one step further:

if some_condition:
  something # indented to be inside if statement
  something_else # indented to be inside if statement
not_indented # not indented, it's not part of the if statement

[snow coral]

new error
SyntaxError: 'await' outside function

[sick birch]

You may have indented it too far now

The if should be indented one time so it's inside on_message
If you indent it 0 times, then it's outside the on_message

E.g

async def on_message():
  if some_condition:
    do something
  do more stuff

[snow coral]

i have this

  sent_message = await message.channel.send('stuff')```

and im still getting it

[sick birch]

Can you paste the whole function?

[snow coral]

async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

if '$hilo' in message.content.lower():
  random_number = str(random.randint(1, 100))

if message.content.startswith('$hilo'):
  sent_message = await message.channel.send('Welcome to HiLo! Would you like to start a game?')
  await sent_message.add_reaction('👍')
  await sent_message.add_reaction('👎')

  client.game_message_id = sent_message.id

[sick birch]

Yeah notice how everything starting with if '$hilo' in message.content.lower() isn't indented?

That means it's not part of the on_message function

[snow coral]

ohhhh

[sick birch]

If you're on VSCode you can pretty much highlight the entire section that's not indented, press tab and VSCode will indent all of it for you

[snow coral]

im on replit

[sick birch]

I don't use replit but it shouldn't be too difficult to do it by hand either

[snow coral]

im just confused on where to indent and where not to

[twilit grotto]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if '$hilo' in message.content.lower():

    if message.content.startswith('$hilo'):
        sent_message = await message.channel.send('Welcome to HiLo! Would you like to start a game?')
        await sent_message.add_reaction('👍')
        await sent_message.add_reaction('👎')

    client.game_message_id = sent_message.id

there you go

[naive briar]

How hard can it be

[sick birch]

Please don't just spoonfeed people

I'm trying to guide them to getting it right on their own

[snow coral]

wait, i think i got it

async def on_message(message):
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

    if '$hilo' in message.content.lower():
      random_number = str(random.randint(1, 100))

    if message.content.startswith('$hilo'):
      sent_message = await message.channel.send('Welcome to HiLo! Would you like to start a game?')
      await sent_message.add_reaction('👍')
      await sent_message.add_reaction('👎')

  client.game_message_id = sent_message.id```
this is working

[sick birch]

Syntactically?

Or does it actually work when you run it

[naive briar]

Doubt it
