discord-bots

[potent spear]

and it looks like it's blocking too

[void mauve]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'rec' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'defer'

[potent spear]

probably interaction.response.defer()

[void mauve]

well i got the output but bot still thinkin

[potent spear]

releasing & destroying might take a while?

[void mauve]

it waits only 5 seconds after releasing, but hes still in a deep thoughts

[potent spear]

no idea what you mean by that

[void mauve]

he still sent no embed

thats the point

[potent spear]

small rewrite note

await find_channel("💻-screen").send(file=discord.File(output_file))

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Recording has been made!",
                          description=f"Check it out at <#{find_channel_id('💻-screen')}>",```
---
```py
channel = await find_channel("💻-screen")

await channel.send(file=discord.File(output_file))

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Recording has been made!",
                          description=f"Check it out at {channel.mention}",```

[void mauve]

oh thanks

[potent spear]

current code?

[void mauve]

yes, btw print after removing the file is working

[potent spear]

even better rewrite:

    # no sending of file in a separate message anymore 
    # ... send(file=...)

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Recording has been made!",
                          description=f"Check it out at {channel.mention}",
                          colour=embed_color,
                          timestamp=datetime.now())

    embed.set_footer(text="SnoopRat",
                     icon_url=SnoopRat_icon)

  # file gets sent together with embed
    await interaction.followup.send_message(file=discord.File(output_file), embed=embed)

you do realize that probably while your screen is recording, that you're blocking your bot from doing other things because the video writer writes sync instead of async?

[void mauve]

[potent spear]

try any other command WHILE your bot is recording, you'll see

[void mauve]

yeah ik, so how do i fix it then btw heres the console output now RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[potent spear]

you read the wrong line of code

you're not awaiting a certain line

[potent spear]

you should use an async writer in order to prevent your code from being blocking
OR you should run it as a task...
I opt the former

[void mauve]

ok then, thanks for help

[potent spear]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

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

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

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

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

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

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

[slate swan]

can you send the json response of the API

Liek what it says in terminal on VSC?

def get_player_data(username):
    url = f"https://api.hypixel.net/player?key={api_key}&name={username}"
    response = requests.get(url)

    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        print(data)
        if data.get('success'):
            return data['player']
    return None

[naive briar]

(also, requests is blocking, use an asynchronous library instead)

And yeah if possible switch to desktop, it's heaven compared to mobile coding

[harsh orbit]

I don't have pc

[harsh orbit]

Can you give me how to type it exactly?

[vale wing]

That is exactly how you type it

[vale wing]

Ight try pip install discord.py[voice]

Replit is screwed, on mobile it's screwed even more

await ctx.guild.voice_client.disconnect()

Like this?

Your command has only ip parameter

[slate swan]

a command to track down ip?

[buoyant quail]

And you are describing some others

[slate swan]

I am trying to have 2 diferent commands

[slate swan]

this is solution

[slate swan]

There are 2 commands

one is mentioned later

so describe the other one

it is

no the second one is not even a command

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/WKCA#1L47-L48

you are missing decorators here

wdym

if you want to define a command you decorate a function with @client.tree.command() in this case

you only do it for one function

hence you have one command

so how do I add a second command?

[slate swan]

if you want to define a command you decorate a function with @client.tree.command()

im new idk what that means

can u show me an example?

but you already did this?

gpt

lol

..

you need at least python basics to create a discord bot gpt is not enough

ik basics

by basics i mean decorators

[unkempt canyon]

Decorators

A decorator is a function that modifies another function.

Consider the following example of a timer decorator:

>>> import time
>>> def timer(f):
...     def inner(*args, **kwargs):
...         start = time.time()
...         result = f(*args, **kwargs)
...         print('Time elapsed:', time.time() - start)
...         return result
...     return inner
...
>>> @timer
... def slow(delay=1):
...     time.sleep(delay)
...     return 'Finished!'
...
>>> print(slow())
Time elapsed: 1.0011568069458008
Finished!
>>> print(slow(3))
Time elapsed: 3.000307321548462
Finished!

More information:
• Corey Schafer's video on decorators
• Real python article

[slate swan]

can u give me an example of what it would look like to add a second command?

@client.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(...)
async def first_command(interaction, ...):
    ...

you do this for each command

[slate swan]

so I add lines 1 and 2 before every command?

line 1 especially

line 2 is just to give description its not needed

it wont fuck up my first cmd?

why would it?

idk im a paranoid person

try and see

alright

will update!

worked, just 1 more issue arising dk what its about

[slate swan]

its datetime.datetime

its just that it worked when ti was not a discord bot

maybe you imported from datetime import datetime

and now you did import datetime

yep

why tf are u so smart wth

glad to hear that

[livid hedge]

hello guys, I am trying to add a cog to my python discord bot.
This is my bot's class

class Bot(commands.Bot):
        def __init__(self, command_prefix, intents, self_bot=False):
            commands.Bot.__init__(self, command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=intents, self_bot=self_bot)
            self.add_cog(General_commands(self))

This is my cog class

class General_commands(commands.Cog): # addded commands.Cog after "Down" suggestion
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.command
    async def status(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send('Bot is online!')

This line -> self.add_cog(General_commands(self)) in Bot's class throw this warning "RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'BotBase.add_cog' was never awaited" that basically says that I have to await that function call ( which I read too on stackoverflow ). If I add the "await" statement ( so it becomes await self.add_cog(General_commands(self)) ) I get the error "SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function".

It doesn't work in any way. I mind if I placed the add_cog to the wrong place. I tried to place it even outside the __init__ method, so in the main, but I still get the warning "cog was never awaited".

Does anyone suggest any solution? I would appreciate it a lot

[slate swan]

First of all the class must be a subclass of commands.Cog

[livid hedge]

right!

[slate swan]

second thing

you need to call @commands.command

third thing

the .add_cog is awaiable

meaning you need to await it

[livid hedge]

where?

[slate swan]

there where it is

you just need to add ()

[livid hedge]

I know but I get this

[slate swan]

and you can put await only in async functions

so load it in setup_hook or else

[livid hedge]

I have to async the init

[slate swan]

init cant be async

[livid hedge]

okay

[slate swan]

override the setup_hook method

and load it here

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup\_hook

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

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.login "discord.ext.commands.Bot.login"), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for "discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for") and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready "discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready")...

[livid hedge]

now it works without errors, I just get Command "status" is not found

[slate swan]

how do you load the cog?

[livid hedge]

# inside bot's class
        async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
            await self.add_cog(General_commands(self))

[slate swan]

okay and did you change the thing with @commands.command i told you to

[livid hedge]

Yes, now it works

Thank you very much Down!

[slate swan]

👍

[thorn grove]

uhmm when i add a on_message(), my @client.command() doesnt work anymore

why?

when i remove on_message() the command works fine tho

[dry sedge]

Try to add await

[thorn grove]

i did

[slate swan]

Btw im using replit

[slate swan]

It says the same thing

[turbid condor]

What is even module1 and module2?

[buoyant quail]

Because such module doesn't exist

[slate swan]

but how i can launch the script please ?

because there is the modules is writed on the script and i have to install it to launch the script

[buoyant quail]

What

Which modules you want to install

[slate swan]

libs.eazyui import Colors, Colorate, Center
libs.solver import Solver

[thorn grove]

annyone?

[golden portal]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[buoyant quail]

Send the link to it's documentation or pypi page. Idk from which library are these. I don't see any mentions of them in google

[slate swan]

@buoyant quail can you help me ?

[buoyant quail]

.

[slate swan]

looks like those are the ones defined in the script already

[slate swan]

??

[buoyant quail]

From where did you get it?

[slate swan]

you can have your own modules

[slate swan]

github

and looks like this modules are those

[slate swan]

then send the github link

but it's a friend's script @buoyant quail

[buoyant quail]

then ask friend :/

[slate swan]

he doesn't reply

[buoyant quail]

xd

[golden portal]

its from a github repo called Discord-Token-Generator, its indeed from a folder called libs

[livid hedge]

It's always me. How can I add slash commands using discordpy?

[buoyant quail]

unpack libs.zip

and rule 5

[slate swan]

can we even help with it

[buoyant quail]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[slate swan]

it on replit ?

[buoyant quail]

its in the github
if you copied it there, then yes

[livid hedge]

There are many external libraries, is there an official one?

[slate swan]

@buoyant quail creating discord tokens do not respect discord TOS ?

[slate swan]

we wont assist you with it its against python discord rules

[golden portal]

no idea i just search that 2 import lines on github and it matched that repo, which has a silly readme

[slate swan]

ah ok can you just tell me how to unpack zip files on replit ?

[slate swan]

i dont use replit

[golden portal]

see this example for slash commands in discord.py https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

[slate swan]

ah shit ook thanks anyway @slate swan @buoyant quail sugar daddys

[buoyant quail]

sugar daddys 💀

[livid hedge]

thank you

[cunning iris]

how can I remove the "this interaction failed" from dropdowns (considering everything works fine apart from this weird message) ?

without using interactions

[buoyant quail]

Respond something to interaction or defer it.

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied timeout to @whole fable until <t:1689778565:f> (10 minutes) (reason: attachments spam - sent 10 attachments).

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

[buoyant quail]

ten attachments

[cunning iris]

just told I didn't use interactions. This is my code

class biome_selection(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, userid):
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label="Swamp"),
                   discord.SelectOption(label="Desert"),
                   discord.SelectOption(label="Woods")]
        super().__init__(placeholder="What biome do you chose ?", options=options)
        self.userid = userid

    async def callback(self, ctx):
        if ctx.user.id == self.userid:
            await ctx.message.channel.send(content=f"{ctx.user.mention} successfully chose {self.values[0]}")


class Drop(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, userid, name: str):
        super().__init__()
        if name == request.classSelection():
            self.add_item(class_selection(userid))
        elif name == request.biomeSelection():
            self.add_item(biome_selection(userid))
        # TODO : add the remaining selections

request is just a class containing a few strings to handle the (many) dropdown menus. The call in my main file looks like this, right now it's just testing :

@bot.command(name = "biome")
async def test(ctx):
    view = Drop(ctx.message.author.id, request.biomeSelection())
    await ctx.message.channel.send(ctx.message.author.mention + "choose a biome", view=view)```

[buoyant quail]

If you name an interaction ctx it still will be an interaction.

[cunning iris]

you mean I can just do ctx: discord.Interaction and it'll work ? or ctx is instantely recognized as an interaction

[buoyant quail]

Typehints doesn't matter

use ctx.response.send_message instead of your send

[cunning iris]

oh alright thanks

[slate swan]

how can i make bot using python

[buoyant quail]

with such question i can only refer you to documentation
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html#

[fringe sluice]

Hi

what

censored?>

So i'm making a discord bot that is powered by chatgpt and i can't seem to get the bot to send a message

What

can't send py? wt

Sorry but best format i can send...

print("command warn") print(friendly_message) async def get_channel(): channel = bot.get_channel(1077629150262730814) asyncio.run(get_channel()) await channel.send(friendly_message) print("sent message to channel",channel)

tried looking on stackoverflow, but thats the best i could find and doesn't work

[buoyant quail]

And where you call get_channel function? Except inside itself

[fringe sluice]

Oh let me pull up the full code

[buoyant quail]

I guess you don't because you'd got an infinite recursion

[fringe sluice]

what?

async def get_channel(): ?

[buoyant quail]

yes

[fringe sluice]

yes?

[buoyant quail]

You defined the function. It won't run until you will call it.

[fringe sluice]

Oh so all i need is to call it?

[buoyant quail]

Yeah

[fringe sluice]

oooh

[buoyant quail]

And remove asyncio.run(get_channel()) from it

Because it will call itself infinitely

[fringe sluice]

'ill see if it works 👀

[fringe sluice]

Hmm didn't seem to work. I've got
this error
RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'on_message.<locals>.get_channel' was never awaited
get_channel()

elif command == "warn":
print("command warn")
print(friendly_message)
async def get_channel():
channel = bot.get_channel(1077629150262730814)

                await channel.send(friendly_message)
            get_channel()
            print("sent message to channel")

[buoyant quail]

It's an async function, you need to await it

await get_channel()

[fringe sluice]

got it

[buoyant quail]

actually you can just get the code out from function

because it's kinda useless here

[fringe sluice]

huh i get invalid syntax

[fringe sluice]

Hmm

werid, so i went before on discord.py documentation and just copied their send message in channel snippet but it seems to need something to be defined

[buoyant quail]

?

[fringe sluice]

i removed the function as you said

i will try again

yeah works now

😄

[cunning iris]

ok I'm probably blind but I don't seem to find the way to make a dropdown menu clickable a single time by a user in the doc, what's the magic line to do that

[buoyant quail]

Just delete/disable it in the callback

[cunning iris]

that would make it clickable a single time

I meant a user could only use the menu once

and any other user could use it, but a single time too

[buoyant quail]

Such thing doesn't exist in discord itself, implement it by yourself

Remember the users who clicked inside and don't answer them next times

[fringe sluice]

I have one more question... How would i go on banning kicking and muting a member. Would like reason too to msg dm the user

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s handle (e.g. `name` or `name#discriminator`).

[cunning iris]

is a json file enough or do I go big with a db considering I'll use one later ?

[fringe sluice]

i'm not that familar with guild...

can you just do it by user? <@>?

whats guild anyways

[turbid condor]

Then you have to get familiar with both guild and member if u want to implement the commands above

[fringe sluice]

Yeah is there any documentation i can look at to learn more

[turbid condor]

Servers are called guilds in discord.py

[fringe sluice]

Ah i see now

[turbid condor]

Search discord.py docs on Google it will come up

[fringe sluice]

is it bc members can have server names and such

[turbid condor]

I'll recommend u use a db since json is not a db

[fringe sluice]

yeah i did try but couldn't really find anything usefull related to banning muting kicking... i did but not really what i wanted kinda

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Guild.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.ban

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

Bans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

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

[turbid condor]

!d discord.Guild.kick

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.kick

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

Kicks a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

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

[fringe sluice]

Thanks

[livid juniper]

someone giving away a very simple bot with slash commands? Pls, I'm new to python programming and old tutorials don't work

[fringe sluice]

lol, i'm working on a bot

maybe when i'm done i can give it to you

[foggy crow]

Hey guys

[fringe sluice]

powered by chatgpt plus it's free and no need for paid plan

[foggy crow]

Do you think Having a Discord bot as a Command center for some personal and work related stuff would be suitable ?

[fringe sluice]

it moderates

[foggy crow]

I'm not sure what to use for this kind of usecases, what do you use in these scenarios?

[slate swan]

There are many open source projects on github you can download and run by yourself

[buoyant quail]

I'd guess memory is enough
Or you are going to store that for a long?
Then yeah, would be better to use db later

[buoyant quail]

https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

[fringe sluice]

Do i need to put it under @bot.command for it to work?

because thats not even working

thats what i got:

if command == "ban":
# Perform action for ban
print("Performing ban action")

                await ban(user, reason=reason, delete_message_days=1, delete_message_seconds=0)

@buoyant quail

[buoyant quail]

What is ban

How did you define it

[fringe sluice]

would it need to be member.ban?

[buoyant quail]

ye

[fringe sluice]

ok

i'm getting UnboundLocalError: local variable 'member' referenced before assignment
does it have to do with my indentation

[buoyant quail]

Where you defined member

Every variable you use can't just appear from air

[fringe sluice]

would this work? member = guild.get_member(user["id"])

had this part in my code just wasn't using it to ban

[buoyant quail]

maybe
depends on what user is

[fringe sluice]

user = message.author

[naive briar]

Not enough context, can't give an accurate answer

[fringe sluice]

async def on_message(message):

wouldn't that provide the user?

[naive briar]

!e

class User:
    pass

user = User()
user["id"]

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 5, in <module>
003 |     user["id"]
004 |     ~~~~^^^^^^
005 | TypeError: 'User' object is not subscriptable

[buoyant quail]

Then just use that user :/

[naive briar]

I bet you'd get the same kind of error

[fringe sluice]

? ok

just use the member = guild yadada?

[naive briar]

What?

[fringe sluice]

would i need to provide user id?

member = guild.get_member(user["id"]) <=== id?

or is that to GET the id?

or to input the id no

[naive briar]

You already got the member object from the message object

[fringe sluice]

you mean the when a message is sent?

[naive briar]

No, it's an attr, not item

And you can already get the user/member object from the message object

!d discord.Message.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

[fringe sluice]

i ask again from this right????? async def on_message(message):?

[fringe sluice]

Ok so i don't get it, member is not going to be defined?

but it's under the message function

[naive briar]

If you don't define it, then it wouldn't

[naive briar]

And? Why would that matter

[fringe sluice]

what do i define? thats what i'm not getting

[naive briar]

I didn't tell you to define anything

[fringe sluice]

huh

but then how do i use member.ban?

if member isn't defined

[buoyant quail]

It can be any variable of Member instance

[naive briar]

Get it from the message

[buoyant quail]

Doesn't matter how you name it
You named it user, then use user

[fringe sluice]

? message.author

i've got that already and thats equals to user

[buoyant quail]

user.ban

[fringe sluice]

Ok

Ok that seems solved, but why does it say it only takes 1 arg? TypeError: ban() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

i just put await user.ban(user, reason=reason, delete_message_days=1)
TypeError: ban() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

the documentation even gives 3

[naive briar]

What documention

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

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

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

[naive briar]

The method takes no positional arguments

[fringe sluice]

Yes that see?

[fringe sluice]

Then what would be correct syntax if i want to ban certain user with reason and 1 day worths of messages?

[naive briar]

If Python doesn't raise the SyntaxError then the syntax is correct

[fringe sluice]

sorry my bad didn't mean 'syntax'

[naive briar]

!e

def a(*, b):
    print(b)

a(0)

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 4, in <module>
003 |     a(0)
004 | TypeError: a() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

[fringe sluice]

i mean the correct argument useage

[naive briar]

!keyword

[unkempt canyon]

Positional vs. keyword arguments

Functions can take two different kinds of arguments. A positional argument is just the object itself. A keyword argument is a name assigned to an object.

Example

>>> print('Hello', 'world!', sep=', ')
Hello, world!

The first two strings 'Hello' and 'world!' are positional arguments.
The sep=', ' is a keyword argument.

Note
A keyword argument can be passed positionally in some cases.

def sum(a, b=1):
    return a + b

sum(1, b=5)
sum(1, 5) # same as above

Sometimes this is forced, in the case of the pow() function.

The reverse is also true:

>>> def foo(a, b):
...     print(a, b)
...
>>> foo(a=1, b=2)
1 2
>>> foo(b=1, a=2)
2 1

More info
• Keyword only arguments
• Positional only arguments
• /tag param-arg (Parameters vs. Arguments)

[fringe sluice]

Ok i get it

but the documentation doesn't make it clear how to actually use it no examples given?

[naive briar]

It doesn't have to

[fringe sluice]

it gives you all the possibilities for arguments

but not specific use cases

[naive briar]

What do you mean not specific use cases

They can't just give you all possible examples

[fringe sluice]

like not using seconds, no reason given,etc

[naive briar]

You'd already know that if you know Python enough

[buoyant quail]

It shows the parameters definition and explains which parameter what takes and does.

[fringe sluice]

Lol, i just took basic python in one of my school classes

nothing fancy

[slate swan]

hi

[fringe sluice]

can you just explain how i use the ban command correctly?

[naive briar]

What command

[slate swan]

are you talking about the guild.ban method?

[fringe sluice]

yeah i'm using user.ban

[slate swan]

and what you have already?

[fringe sluice]

user = message.author

[slate swan]

and thats it?

[fringe sluice]

yeah

[slate swan]

now you have User or Member object

[fringe sluice]

await user.ban(user, reason=reason, delete_message_days=1)

[slate swan]

lucky for you both of them have .ban method

wait no

[naive briar]

User have a ban method?

[slate swan]

i just noticed what im saying

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.ban

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

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

[fringe sluice]

Yes it tells me i have too many args

[slate swan]

so you are doing the ban method on a Member object already

so no need to pass user to the method

it already knows who to ban

[slate swan]

all you can pass to it is this

[fringe sluice]

what

i'm so confused rn

[naive briar]

(this is not literally equivalent to the Guild.ban)

They take different arguments

!d discord.Guild.ban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.ban

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

Bans a user from the guild.

The user must meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

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

[slate swan]

i would show you how it works in the source code but it prolly wont make it clear for you

[fringe sluice]

sure do that?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/c69ce78ad115e06c3346cce7e8bc2071cc8fb6cb/discord/member.py#L732-L748

all it does is it references the guild and passes the arguments you have plus the member itself

[fringe sluice]

whats missing in delete_message_days: int = MISSING, here?

[slate swan]

from the docs: ```py
delete_message_days (int) –

The number of days worth of messages to delete from the user in the guild. The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 7. Defaults to 1 day if neither delete_message_days nor delete_message_seconds are passed.

Deprecated since version 2.1.

[naive briar]

It's just a default argument

[slate swan]

you should use delete_message_seconds instead

[fringe sluice]

what if i want days

[slate swan]

the : int part says that it should be of type int and the = MISSING assigns default value as MISSING constant

[fringe sluice]

ok so just put the value in missing

[slate swan]

!e py amt_of_days = 10 print("How many seconds is that?:",amt_of_days * 3600 * 24)

[unkempt canyon]

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

How many seconds is that?: 36000

[slate swan]

you dont

you just dont pass it then its default to it

[fringe sluice]

huh

[naive briar]

A day has 3600 seconds!? 😨

[slate swan]

you know what default values for arguments are in functions?

[slate swan]

ok

[naive briar]

!e

def a(b = 101):
    print(b)

a(202)
a()

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | 202
002 | 101

[fringe sluice]

uhhh i'm not getting it

[slate swan]

look above

[fringe sluice]

whats the supposd to be

[slate swan]

https://realpython.com/python-optional-arguments/

[naive briar]

The argument will be supplied by the default argument if you don't pass it

[slate swan]

!e ```py
shopping_list = {}

def add_item(item_name, quantity=1):
if item_name in shopping_list.keys():
shopping_list[item_name] += quantity
else:
shopping_list[item_name] = quantity

add_item("Bread")
add_item("Milk", 2)
print(shopping_list)

[unkempt canyon]

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

{'Bread': 1, 'Milk': 2}

[slate swan]

we add item Bread but we did not give quantity so the default value was used (quantity=1) 1 in this case

but when adding Milk we provided the quantity so its used instead

does that make it clear?

[fringe sluice]

yeah sorta

but i still can't understand how to use the ban command 😬

[slate swan]

what you dont understand

you just do await member.ban() and optionally you can provide reason and delete_message_seconds

[fringe sluice]

yeah but why can i provide them all

? thats fine

[slate swan]

what do you mean by that

[fringe sluice]

thats fine i don't mind just giving the reason only, but what if i want to provide delete_message_seconds?

[naive briar]

Then provide it?

[slate swan]

then you just provide it?

[fringe sluice]

Yes, but it tells me that only 1 arg is allowed??!

[slate swan]

!e ```py
def ban(*, reason=None, delete_message_seconds=None):
print(reason, delete_message_seconds)

ban(reason="some reason")
ban(delete_message_seconds=100)
ban(delete_message_seconds=200, reason="some cool reason")
ban(reason="some other cool reason", delete_message_seconds=300)

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | some reason None
002 | None 100
003 | some cool reason 200
004 | some other cool reason 300

[slate swan]

what tells you that

you get an error?

[fringe sluice]

Yeah that makes it clear

i was doing it wrong

await user.ban(user, reason=reason, delete_message_days=1)
TypeError: ban() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

so should i just define it as a function

[slate swan]

Member.ban does not accept user argument like i said

[fringe sluice]

yeah i removed it

await user.ban(reason=reason)

[slate swan]

cool

[fringe sluice]

I have a question

would you be able to join my server and test the bot? seems that i can't ban my self

[sick birch]

that's what alts are for

pretty much everyone who works with discord bots has an alt

[slate swan]

Hi

[fringe sluice]

yeah guess i'll do that smh

[slate swan]

Can I add two datetime objects?

[slate swan]

No, you can only add a datetime to a timedelta, or add two timedeltas together

You can also subtract a datetime from another datetime to get a timedelta

How do I convert a datetime to timedelta?

2023-08-18 11:00:54.854651 I need to add this to the current time

[slate swan]

You don't, they are two different things conceptually
datetime is a point in time, such as 01/01/2000 00:00
timedelta is a duration of time, such as 1 hour or 10 years

Think about what you're trying to do, adding two datetimes just wouldn't really make any sense

Hmm yeah so what would I have to do?

Well I wouldn't know unless you gave some more context, it's your code

[slate swan]

I just need to add current time and the old time, which is like I sent

[lyric echo]

idk if it fits here but just a question - i am doing a bot with a moderation command to change permissions in roles/users. it separates groups of permissions in sort-of linux way (read - read chat log, see channels; write - write messages, speak in channels; etc...). someone knows how i could make a group of such permissions so i can have only 3 sets of such permission groups and then only combine command parameters? right now it looks like this and i dont like it:

    elif arg1 == "3":
      await member.edit(
            permissions=discord.Permissions(embed_links=True,
                                            attach_files=True,
                                            add_reactions=True,
                                            use_external_emojis=True,
                                            send_tts_messages=True,
                                            use_slash_commands=True,
                                            stream=True,
                                            use_voice_activation=True,
                                            priority_speaker=True,
                                            send_messages=True,
                                            speak=True,
                                            change_nickname=True,
                                            create_instant_invite=True))

i'd rather sort of that but idk if its ever possible:

read = ("read_messages"=True, "see_channels"=True)
write=("send_messages"=True, "join_voice"=True)
...
  elif arg1 == "3":
      await member.edit(
            permissions=discord.Permissions(read,write)

[slate swan]

Perhaps dictionary unpacking is what you're after

[lyric echo]

sort of...

[slate swan]

!e ```py
def f(**kwargs):
print(kwargs)

perms = {"embed_links": True, "attach_files": True, "add_reactions": True, "use_external_emojis": True}
f(**perms)

[unkempt canyon]

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

{'embed_links': True, 'attach_files': True, 'add_reactions': True, 'use_external_emojis': True}

[lyric echo]

ok, very thx

[slate swan]

not sure if you can pass the permissions as string though

[buoyant quail]

!e I have no idea why the fuck you want to add 2023 years to the current date.. but:

from datetime import datetime
print(datetime.strptime("2023-08-18 11:00:54.854651", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f") - datetime(1, 1, 1) + datetime.now())

[lyric echo]

i know no but looks now like doable

[unkempt canyon]

@buoyant quail :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

4046-03-05 05:17:50.849624

[upbeat ice]

what about using enums?

[slate swan]

Yeah I worded that wrong. I need to get the difference between the two times then add that to an old time

[buoyant quail]

They will be not the strings

It's kwargs

[slate swan]

ah yes

[buoyant quail]

You can subtract datetimes. And you can subtract/add timedeltas. Do anything you want with that

[slate swan]

[sick birch]

How does adding times work?

what is 1 PM + 2 PM?

[slate swan]

3PM?

[sick birch]

is that what you want in your code?

[slate swan]

I'm not too good at explaining, I think that's what I want yes. I save a json file with an expiry date for a user, so !e user 30d, that saves the time in 30d from now, but if I run the command again !e user 15d, I want it to get the duration from the old expiry date and now, then add that to the new expiry date

[sick birch]

if the user runs !e user 30d you should save 30 into your database as the duration

does !e just "bump" the expiry, actually?

[slate swan]

But if I do that I won't know when it actually expires

[slate swan]

wdym?

[fringe sluice]

@slate swan Hi i ran into an issue. So when the bot kicks a user it says that it kicked x person for x reason but some some reason it looks like this:

kick_reason = (user," was kicked reason: ",reason) thats what i used

[slate swan]

this is the member object representation

[fringe sluice]

however in my cmd its correct

[slate swan]

you want to mention the user?

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the member.

[fringe sluice]

and it uses user too

[sick birch]

ah okay, set the expiriation date in the database then
each time they run it, get the expiriation from the database, add a timedelta to it

[fringe sluice]

see? i don't get the jumble string

[slate swan]

what you want to display in the discord

[fringe sluice]

that

[slate swan]

the username?

[fringe sluice]

yeah

[slate swan]

:/ 1 sec

[upbeat ice]

!d discord.Member.name

[fringe sluice]

can't understand why in my cmd window it's correct

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.name

property name```
Equivalent to [`User.name`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.name "discord.User.name")

[fringe sluice]

they BOTH use the user

i'm using message author

[slate swan]

so?

!d discord.Message.author

[slate swan]

Could you show me an example

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

[fringe sluice]

yeah why is the output different in discord

same variable same value?

[slate swan]

cause in discord its using reprezentation while in the terminal its using string converter

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/c69ce78ad115e06c3346cce7e8bc2071cc8fb6cb/discord/member.py#L367-L374

[unkempt canyon]

discord/member.py lines 367 to 374

def __str__(self) -> str:
    return str(self._user)

def __repr__(self) -> str:
    return (
        f'<Member id={self._user.id} name={self._user.name!r} global_name={self._user.global_name!r}'
        f' bot={self._user.bot} nick={self.nick!r} guild={self.guild!r}>'
    )```

[fringe sluice]

is there a way i use that output

[slate swan]

yes

convert the member to str

[fringe sluice]

ok

[slate swan]

but are you sure you want that #0

[sick birch]

@bot.command()
async def set_expiriation(ctx: commands.Context, days: int) -> None:
  current_expiriation: Optional[datetime] = # this comes from the database
  new_expiriation = (current_expiriation or datetime.now()) + timedelta(days=days)
  # save new_expiriation into the database

[slate swan]

you can just use member.name to get only the username

[fringe sluice]

like this kick_reason = ((str(user)," was kicked reason: ",reason)?

[slate swan]

why you make it a tuple

[slate swan]

Does this work if the database expiry time is a datetime object?

[sick birch]

it only works if it's a datetime object

[fringe sluice]

then how?

[sick birch]

hence the typehint

[slate swan]

just use a string already?

f"Some text {some_varriable} some other text"

!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.

[fringe sluice]

? user = str(message.author)

[slate swan]

no convert it to string only when converting to username

[fringe sluice]

oh thats number to string right?

[slate swan]

no

thats Member object to string

[fringe sluice]

what str() does that

[fringe sluice]

i know i meant str()!

[upbeat ice]

username is a string?

[slate swan]

i feel like im lost

[fringe sluice]

doesn't seem to

[slate swan]

?

[upbeat ice]

then your code is incorrect

[slate swan]

show your code maybe

[slate swan]

hard to visualize it

[buoyant quail]

Any custom class can do that if you will define __str__ or __repr__

[unkempt canyon]

Dunder methods

Double-underscore methods, or "dunder" methods, are special methods defined in a class that are invoked implicitly. Like the name suggests, they are prefixed and suffixed with dunders. You've probably already seen some, such as the __init__ dunder method, also known as the "constructor" of a class, which is implicitly invoked when you instantiate an instance of a class.

When you create a new class, there will be default dunder methods inherited from the object class. However, we can override them by redefining these methods within the new class. For example, the default __init__ method from object doesn't take any arguments, so we almost always override that to fit our needs.

Other common dunder methods to override are __str__ and __repr__. __repr__ is the developer-friendly string representation of an object - usually the syntax to recreate it - and is implicitly called on arguments passed into the repr function. __str__ is the user-friendly string representation of an object, and is called by the str function. Note here that, if not overriden, the default __str__ invokes __repr__ as a fallback.

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, value):  # constructor
        self.value = value
    def __str__(self):
        return f"This is a Foo object, with a value of {self.value}!"  # string representation
    def __repr__(self):
        return f"Foo({self.value!r})"  # way to recreate this object


bar = Foo(5)

# print also implicitly calls __str__
print(bar)  # Output: This is a Foo object, with a value of 5!

# dev-friendly representation
print(repr(bar))  # Output: Foo(5)

Another example: did you know that when you use the <left operand> + <right operand> syntax, you're implicitly calling <left operand>.__add__(<right operand>)? The same applies to other operators, and you can look at the operator built-in module documentation for more information!

[fringe sluice]

? kick_reason = ({user}, was kicked reason: ",{reason})

[slate swan]

well thats long

[fringe sluice]

without the "

[slate swan]

still why make it a tuple?

[fringe sluice]

aren't tuples a list of numbers ☠️

[slate swan]

no ..

[buoyant quail]

lmao

[slate swan]

i think you tried to define fstring

but forgot about the f" ... " part

!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.

"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.

[slate swan]

look closely at the example

[fringe sluice]

works now

thanks

[slate swan]

hmm it's saying you can't add int and datetime.datetime

[upbeat ice]

are you adding two datetime objects?

[slate swan]

create a converter to convert the 30d input into the timedelta object

[slate swan]

def get_time(duration: str):
    now = datetime.now()
    time = ''.join(char for char in duration if char.isdigit())
    one_day = timedelta(days=int(time))
    return one_day + now

I was using this

to convert from 30d?

that removes the d and then covnerts it to the datetime

so it only supports days?

yeah I can't even figure out this lmao

if its only for days just input only number

and dont use converter

I'm gonna expand it once I can figure out adding the times

i can show you example of such converter

[upbeat ice]

this might be helpful: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior

[buoyant quail]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/converters/#advanced

[slate swan]

what should I do?

[sick birch]

why don't you just typehint it to int

that'll just be days

[buoyant quail]

Anything you want. You are a free human

[buoyant quail]

^ Robin

[slate swan]

expand it to accept all possible units or just annotate as int and accept only days

If I expand it by using your converter is it easier to add the times?

it returns the timedelta already

so you can just add it to datetime

[slate swan]

it returned 15 days, 0:00:00, but this isn't an actual time since the database will always have it as 15?

any idea what I should do? @slate swan

[torn sail]

does anyone know why my task is running many times

@tasks.loop(minutes=30)
async def update_links(self) -> None:
    print('running')
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(self.FLAGGED_LINKS_REPO_URL) as resp:
            self.flagged_links = set(await resp.json())

this prints running multiple times within the first 30 seconds

but when i remove all the aiohttp code

@tasks.loop(minutes=30)
async def update_links(self) -> None:
    print('running')

it only runs once

[upbeat ice]

where are you starting this task?

[lyric echo]

another but quicker question - someone knows if i made this good? wanted a command for sending server invites 🙂

    @commands.command()
    @commands.has_permissions()
    async def useradd(self, ctx):
      invte = await ctx.create.invite()
      await ctx.send(f"url: {invte}")

[buoyant quail]

Why you have an empty has_permissions?

[vocal snow]

And ctx.create isn't a thing, unless you added it yourself

[lyric echo]

cause was copying one command (this command was among moderation commands)

[slate swan]

there is no such thing like ctx.create

[lyric echo]

no, like i'd like to generate discord invite and then send it as message

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.channel

Returns the channel associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.channel.

[torn sail]

in the cog_load

def cog_load(self) -> None:
    print('here')
    self.update_links.start()

its only printing here once also

[slate swan]

are you using discord.py?

[torn sail]

yeah

[lyric echo]

looks like he does, and bot is cogged

[slate swan]

then this method should be coro

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_load

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

A special method that is called when the cog gets loaded.

Subclasses must replace this if they want special asynchronous loading behaviour. Note that the `__init__` special method does not allow asynchronous code to run inside it, thus this is helpful for setting up code that needs to be asynchronous.

New in version 2.0.

[torn sail]

oh, i thought they made it so it could be both

yeah it says could be but ill try it

[slate swan]

not sure though

could work

[torn sail]

didnt work

[lyric echo]

okay, but then how to send it as message in generic text channel ?

[slate swan]

like you would normally?

using ctx.send

[slate swan]

may i ask what you are trying to achieve

[lyric echo]

like that?

    @commands.command()
    async def useradd(self, ctx):
      invte = await create.invite(*,temporary=False, unique=True)
      await ctx.send(f"url: {invte}")

[slate swan]

no

what is create

[upbeat ice]

try using a Semaphore

[lyric echo]

create invite

on current server or channel

[slate swan]

TextChannel have such methods

[torn sail]

alright

[slate swan]

it does not appear out of nowhere

[lyric echo]

thats why i had ctx earlier

[slate swan]

Context is still not TextChannel

[slate swan]

^

thats how you get to a channel object

[lyric echo]

current text channel i mean

[torn sail]

im trying update a list of discord scam links from a github repo every 30 minutes

[slate swan]

no Context is Context

[lyric echo]

    @commands.command()
    async def useradd(self, ctx):
      invte = await ctx.channel.create.invite(*,temporary=False, unique=True)
      await ctx.send(f"url: {invte}")

[slate swan]

still a no

[buoyant quail]

bruh

[lyric echo]

then idk lol

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[slate swan]

look how the method is named

[lyric echo]

ahh, ok, now i see

[slate swan]

yeah but it still wont work

*,temporary=False, unique=True from where did you get this?

[lyric echo]

    @commands.command()
    async def useradd(self, ctx):
      invte = await ctx.channel.create_invite(*,temporary=False, unique=True)
      await ctx.send(f"url: {invte}")

what else to add?

[lyric echo]

from reply above

[slate swan]

you are not supposed to copy it

[lyric echo]

ok then

[slate swan]

it just tells you what you can add

if you want the default values it has

just dont pass it

[lyric echo]

ok, but with that assign it will ever work?

[slate swan]

?

[lyric echo]

like invte = await ...

[slate swan]

docs will tell you everything

Returns
The invite that was created.

Return type
Invite

[lyric echo]

more i'll test and find out xD

[torn sail]

huh even that didnt make a difference. i also tried asyncio.Lock() insetad of the asyncio.Semaphore(1) also

def __init__(self, bot: Bot) -> None:
    self.bot = bot
    self.flagged_links: set[str] = set()
    self.lock = asyncio.Semaphore(1)

async def cog_load(self) -> None:
    print('here')
    self.update_links.start()

async def cog_unload(self) -> None:
    self.update_links.cancel()

@tasks.loop(minutes=30)
async def update_links(self) -> None:
    async with self.lock:
        print('running')
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.get(self.FLAGGED_LINKS_REPO_URL) as resp:
                self.flagged_links = set(await resp.json())

[slate swan]

how about you create a task that runs every 30 mins

oh you have it

[upbeat ice]

hmm

[slate swan]

then whats wrong with it

[upbeat ice]

its triggering the task multiple times on startup

[slate swan]

how so

the cog should be loaded only once

[upbeat ice]

yeah that i dont really understand

[slate swan]

how about you add print("something") in the __init__

and see how many times it prints

[torn sail]

sure

[torn sail]

only once

[slate swan]

so the task is registered once as well

how you know there is more running at the same time

what's the typehint for member or role

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/converters/#discordpy-built-in

Union right

ah you want this or this

then yes union its explained here https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/converters/#union

[torn sail]

  async with self.lock:
      print('running')
      async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
          async with session.get(self.FLAGGED_LINKS_REPO_URL) as resp:
              self.flagged_links = set(await resp.json())

the print('running') is happening many times within 30 seconds

[slate swan]

user: Union[discord.Member, discord.Role]

how about you dont use the lock

[torn sail]

same issue, i think i might know why tho

[upbeat ice]

well the lock was my idea

[slate swan]

if you are using Python 3.9 or lower then yes

[slate swan]

I'm on 3.10 but I like that way better

sure then

will work too

[torn sail]

coould be something witht await resp.json() because the task is getting stuck here probably because the github file im trying to download is 540 kb

[lyric echo]

sorry for asking yet more but someone have idea to fix that thing?

  File "/home/runner/Tux-bot-cogged-update-as-of-8122/cmds/moderation.py", line 8
    muted = (view_channel=False)
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

its after this question earlier about refactoring role command (to split permissions from long lists of such )...

[slate swan]

it needs to be a dictionary

[potent spear]

this is a tuple, not sure what your intention is, but you probably want a dict

[lyric echo]

ok

[slate swan]

perms = {"permission": True, ...}

[lyric echo]

... and that? https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=invite#discord.Permissions

[slate swan]

from the docs: ```py
import asyncpg
from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
self.data = []
self.batch_update.add_exception_type(asyncpg.PostgresConnectionError)
self.batch_update.start()

def cog_unload(self):
    self.batch_update.cancel()

@tasks.loop(minutes=5.0)
async def batch_update(self):
    async with self.bot.pool.acquire() as con:
        # batch update here...
        pass

you can add exceptions

[torn sail]

lemme check that out

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html

[torn sail]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.add_exception_type

[slate swan]

whats wrong with it?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.add\_exception\_type

add_exception_type(*exceptions)```
Adds exception types to be handled during the reconnect logic.

By default the exception types handled are those handled by [`discord.Client.connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.connect "discord.Client.connect"), which includes a lot of internet disconnection errors.

This function is useful if you’re interacting with a 3rd party library that raises its own set of exceptions.

[lyric echo]

i literally had

await member.edit(permissions=discord.Permissions(read_messages=True))

... but that cant:

execute = (read_messages=True)
await member.edit(permissions=discord.Permissions(**execute))

...

[slate swan]

use a dictionary like i said above

then you can unpack like this

[lyric echo]

will see

[torn sail]

ah there was a json error, i thought a task would display the exception. thanks a lot

[slate swan]

👍

maybe you have error handler that might be silencing your exceptions

[torn sail]

i dont

the funny thing is that i thought the same thing but when i added a raise ValueError() in the task, it showed the error

[slate swan]

Hm

[upbeat ice]

odd

[torn sail]

oh i just checked

and by default discord.py silences aiohttp.ClientError

self._valid_exception = (
            OSError,
            discord.GatewayNotFound,
            discord.ConnectionClosed,
            aiohttp.ClientError,
            asyncio.TimeoutError,
        )

and if it catches these exceptions it will retry the task

which explains why it was running multiple times

                except self._valid_exception:
                    self._last_iteration_failed = True
                    if not self.reconnect:
                        raise
                    await asyncio.sleep(backoff.delay())

Hi, can I get help not with Discord bots, but with bots on internet?

I want to make 10 bots that will come to one website and do some repetitive task

Like clicking, pressing key...

[fringe sluice]

is there a reason why this doesn't work?

role = discord.utils.get("muted")
user.add_roles(role) No error i just don't get the roll i added named muted

[sharp kettle]

I tried with Macro recorder but it doesn't really work

I ran two browser windows on my VM and it was quite heavy on my RAM but I need 10 not 2

[fringe sluice]

@slate swan

[sharp kettle]

My friend told me about Selenium but I don't know how to work with that

!d discord.utils.get

[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.

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]

read the docs, how is it supposed to know where to look and what to look for

if you have role id you can just guild.fetch_role then you can just pass the id

[fringe sluice]

i saw this on stack overflow maybe its old

[slate swan]

docs > stack

[lyric echo]

okay, lets go back to that server invite command...
code here:

    @commands.command(aliases=["adduser"])
    async def useradd(self, ctx):
      invte = await ctx.channel.create_invite()
      await ctx.send(f"url: {invte}")

doesnt output anything either in chat or console. like if i didnt ran command. any ideas?

[fresh hatch]

What channel would ctx be

[lyric echo]

current where command'd be invoked

if i'd type $adduser into #bots then invite would lead to #bots ... etc

[fresh hatch]

I always do ctx.channel

Maybe ctx.send is a thing too

Does the command even run? Any errors?

[lyric echo]

no it probably doesnt

while all rest is fine

[buoyant quail]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

This works similarly to [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for non-interaction contexts.

For interaction based contexts this does one of the following...

[buoyant quail]

why "probably"? run it and find out

[lyric echo]

send part is fine, invite part is broken so it doesnt continue and i know it, idk just where exactly

i have lots of send things in code and all works

[buoyant quail]

what do you get when you run that command

[lyric echo]

nothing

either in terminal or in channel

just nothing as if i didnt typed it

[buoyant quail]

Is that command loaded?

It's in cog?

[lyric echo]

yep, i restarted server few times and is in cog

in same file commands are working

its 100% thing with invite

[iron cosmos]

Hello,
I've been trying for some time now to create a role allocation via a select menu for my discord bot (cog). My problem is none of the bot host supports DiscordComponents, Select, SelectOption what I need. Who knows a solution or a host that supports this?

[lyric echo]

btw - i went back with that code :

    @commands.command(aliases=["adduser"])
    async def useradd(self, ctx):
      invte = await ctx.create_invite()
      await ctx.send(f"url: {invte.url}")

although code with ctx.channel wasnt working too

[slate swan]

discord.py has support for that built in

[buoyant quail]

the command is fine

[lyric echo]

then what?

[buoyant quail]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

@iron cosmos ^

[lyric echo]

idk. check my code then...
https://replit.com/@hacknorris/Tux-bot-cogged-update-as-of-8122#cmds/moderation.py

[buoyant quail]

You say other commands are working?

I'd believe they are not

[lyric echo]

means - didnt checked after refactor too much but something was working

[iron cosmos]

Mhh strange

[buoyant quail]

You did put everything in the __init__

[lyric echo]

WELL... forgot if i ever had it lol, i wasnt touching that bot for a year

edit:

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

was at top, so probably it shouldnt be an issue

or i should move command one tab left..

[slate swan]

if I typehint user: Union[discord.Member, discord.Role] how would I check if the mentioned was a user or member?

[buoyant quail]

!d isinstance

[unkempt canyon]

isinstance

isinstance(object, classinfo)```
Return `True` if the *object* argument is an instance of the *classinfo* argument, or of a (direct, indirect, or [virtual](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class)) subclass thereof. If *object* is not an object of the given type, the function always returns `False`. If *classinfo* is a tuple of type objects (or recursively, other such tuples) or a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union) of multiple types, return `True` if *object* is an instance of any of the types. If *classinfo* is not a type or tuple of types and such tuples, a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised. [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") may not be raised for an invalid type if an earlier check succeeds.

Changed in version 3.10: *classinfo* can be a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union).

Similar names: 2to3fixer.isinstance

[slate swan]

if isinstance(user, discord.Member):
    # menitoned member

yes

[lyric echo]

probably last question today. i have that code for automod but it doesnt catch swears if first or last word:

with open("bad-words.txt", 'r') as f:
    global badwords
    words = f.read()
    badwords = words.splitlines()

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def swears(ctx):
    msg = ctx.content.lower()
    for word in badwords:
        if word in msg:
            await ctx.delete()

any ideas?

means - i added spaces in this file with world list but i'd like to know how to see words automatically and to separate words by space (exact words, not word-in-middle of another..)

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

This requires [`Intents.messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.messages "discord.Intents.messages") to be enabled.

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[slate swan]

on_message doesnt get ctx

it gets message

[lyric echo]

like if in word list i'd have that: apple, pear, grape
and i'd like to filter out apple but NOT pineapple
but also i'd be able to catch first, last words and words without spaces around
(pineapple not filtered but pine.apple already yep)

ctx part is fine, i talk more about regex now

[slate swan]

yeah but why not name it something that will be helpful

[lyric echo]

its not about it, i dont care about code quality but working functions

plus - i dont want to swear right here (i dont want ban xD)

[slate swan]

readability speeds up productivity

[buoyant quail]

!e

import re

s = "apple, pear, grape;IDK   !!! fmdskmk34534 hey .. mhmhm"
print(re.findall(r"[a-zA-Z]+", s))

[unkempt canyon]

@buoyant quail :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['apple', 'pear', 'grape', 'IDK', 'fmdskmk', 'hey', 'mhmhm']

[lyric echo]

ok, thx

[slate swan]

@slate swan How do I get the members from a role again

[sick birch]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members```
Returns all the members with this role.

[slate swan]

what type is returned?

[potent spear]

a list of member objects

the bot responded with a link for a reason 👀

[lone lichen]

Idk if It’ s just me but I cant rly think of an example where you would need to “filter apple but not pineapple” for profanity filtering. Like I cant think of a swear word that becomes ok if you add something to it.

[potent spear]

you're reinventing the wheel here,
discord has a built-in setting for swear words, or blacklisted words, don't try to recreate it, because people will ofc be smarter and find workarounds for your "swear words detection system"
example
you blacklist "apple", people start typing @pple or appl3 or appIe (this is uppercase i)
... 🤷‍♂️

[lone lichen]

I feel like for every new feature discord adds public bots become more useless.

[potent spear]

that's good news, it makes managing servers for non-devs very user-friendly
you shouldn't depend on third party bots all the time

because if it breaks, you're screwed because you have no control over it

[slate swan]

can I call len on role.members to get the total amount of users with a role?

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_role

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

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

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

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

New in version 2.0...

[slate swan]

How do I get the snowflake ID?

[buoyant quail]

Or just the name

[slate swan]

Does discord.utils.get with ctx.guild.roles as the iterable accept role ID?

[buoyant quail]

it accepts any attribute

but why not just

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

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

[buoyant quail]

huh

what's the reason of doing it? https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/utils.py#L484-L486

[unkempt canyon]

discord/utils.py lines 484 to 486

# global -> local
_all = all

2023-08-30 16:01:49 is there a way to convert this to discord timestamp like <t:1693436509:F>

I know you could convert it to an epoch but isn't there a built in method?

[upbeat ice]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.utils.format_dt

[slate swan]

what fields are timestamps useable in?

[upbeat ice]

of embeds?

if so it is Title, Descriptions and Field Name/Field Value

[slate swan]

What would be best to constantly check dates from a file? should I setup a task?

[upbeat gust]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[slate swan]

Once the current time has surpassed the time in the file I want to remove the date from the file

[upbeat gust]

What will this achieve? just asking because there may be a better way

[slate swan]

it will remove a role from the member

[upbeat gust]

Go to the discord.py server (.gg/dpy), go to a bot channel and type ?tag future task

[slate swan]

@tasks.loop()
async def yourtask():
  # if you don't care about keeping records of old tasks, remove this WHERE and change the UPDATE to DELETE
  next_task = await db_conn.fetchrow('SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE NOT completed ORDER BY end_time LIMIT 1')
  # if no remaining tasks, stop the loop
  if next_task is None:
    yourtask.stop()

  # sleep until the task should be done
  await discord.utils.sleep_until(next_task['end_time'])

  # do your task stuff here with `next_task`

  # UPDATE the task to mark it completed, or DELETE it
  await db_conn.execute('UPDATE tasks SET completed = true WHERE row_id = $1', next_task['row_id'])

# add a `before_loop` and `wait_until_ready` if you need the bot to be logged in
yourtask.start()

# in a command that adds new task in db
if yourtask.is_running():
  yourtask.restart()
else:
  yourtask.start()

[upbeat gust]

Yeah thats wha tyou would use

[ornate sapphire]

what you trying to do?

[torn solar]

!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 Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

Its faster to Access local varriable than global so if its used more than once its better

[hushed galleon]

seems like premature optimization to me, but i guess im not the person that would be handling thousands/millions of elements

[buoyant quail]

I thought about it, but _all is used only one time

Ahh,, in the loop

[slate swan]

its used many times

[buoyant quail]
