[desert kiln]

the token you used wasn't a valid bot token

[humble lily]

Uhm

It is

[desert kiln]

or you didn't put one on bot.run('')

[humble lily]

I did

[desert kiln]

is it in-between the 2 ''?

[mortal flower]

as you can see :)

[humble lily]

Yes

[final iron]

Doesn't matter

His issue is an import issue, not a token issue

[desert kiln]

you didn't change the bot.run('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN') at the end, put your bot token in the 2 '

[humble lily]

I did do so

[desert kiln]

In the error you showed me, you didn't.

[final iron]

Why does this even matter

You have an import issue, not a token issue

[humble lily]

I don't know how to solve it please help me

[final iron]

Solve what

[humble lily]

this

[final iron]

Already been explained

Bot isn't an attribute of discord

You need to use discord.ext.commands.Bot

[humble lily]

While trying to use discord.ext.commands.Bot it just gives me another error?

[final iron]

And better yet, swap to discord.py instead of disnake/pycord

Which is...

[humble lily]

How do i swap

@final iron

[mighty pilot]

It gives you another error because you fixed the one and found another lol

[final iron]

os.system(py_exec + " -m pip install discord.py --no-cache-dir")

[mighty pilot]

Welcome to troubleshooting

[final iron]

Run this in a file

[mighty pilot]

Handy list lol

[final iron]

I think it's outdated anyway

[humble lily]

C:\Users\blomo\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe: No module named pip```

[final iron]

Are you using a venv

[humble lily]

What is a venv

[final iron]

You'll probably have to add pip to path as well tbh

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual environments

Virtual environments are isolated Python environments, which make it easier to keep your system clean and manage dependencies. By default, when activated, only libraries and scripts installed in the virtual environment are accessible, preventing cross-project dependency conflicts, and allowing easy isolation of requirements.

To create a new virtual environment, you can use the standard library venv module: python3 -m venv .venv (replace python3 with python or py on Windows)

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

Windows (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
or (Command Prompt): .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
MacOS / Linux (Bash): source .venv/bin/activate

Packages can then be installed to the virtual environment using pip, as normal.

For more information, take a read of the documentation. If you run code through your editor, check its documentation on how to make it use your virtual environment. For example, see the VSCode or PyCharm docs.

Tools such as poetry and pipenv can manage the creation of virtual environments as well as project dependencies, making packaging and installing your project easier.

Note: When using PowerShell in Windows, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once per user:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[humble lily]

Damn this is hard

[mighty pilot]

It's easier if you know python first

[final iron]

What IDE are you using

[humble lily]

I don't know, how do I check?

[final iron]

i stg

[humble lily]

I have to start somewhere

[final iron]

When you're writing code, what app are you using

[humble lily]

And this is where I got my eyes open for

[humble lily]

VSC

[final iron]

Some video guide probably exists then

[final iron]

This'll work as well

[mighty pilot]

I recommend starting with basics, discord.py is not really basic

[humble lily]

I have tried checking for days now

[final iron]

...

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments

First result

That'll probably be easier to follow

[humble lily]

Problem is that I don't know what to google

[final iron]

I gave you a webpage...

That, and the tag will let you setup a venv

After that, if the error is still being produced you might've not added pip to path

Then, once we fix that you'll run the bit of code I gave you

After that, we refractor your code to discord.py

[dry sedge]

incase discord adds bots to gcs how can you make a bot join a voice call or how would you make it join a voice call

[mighty pilot]

!d discord.VoiceChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel

class discord.VoiceChannel```
Represents a Discord guild voice channel.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

x != y Checks if two channels are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the channel’s hash.

str(x) Returns the channel’s name.

[dire mason]

would this change when i add an icon to the bot?

[final iron]

Yes

Should

[unkempt canyon]

Missing required argument

package

[dire mason]

How do I get the author to a slash command?

[quick brook]

interaction.user

[final iron]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[dire mason]

 @app_commands.command(name="mention")
    async def slash_mention(self, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(interaction.user.mention, ephemeral=True)```

So this?

[quick brook]

yes

[dire mason]

question, for some reason its not showing up as a command in the slash menu, any reason for that?

[quick brook]

currently working on the app commands official docs for dpy rn, but basically you haven't synced your commands to discord

[dire mason]

im an idiot.

[quick brook]

App commands work differently from message commands, they're handled mostly on Discord's end. Discord just tells your bot when someone successfully triggers a command.
In order to do this, you need to register your commands on the command tree then tell discord they exist by syncing with tree.sync.
Commands can be registered on the tree either as a global command or as a guild-specific command, and must be synced to the same scope they are associated with in the tree.
When you sync, you are telling Discord about the commands you currently have for a particular scope.

To sync global commands: await tree.sync()
To sync guild commands: await tree.sync(guild=guild)
Guilds must be either a Guild object or a discord.Object with the guild's id.

It may help to think of the tree as a dict like this.

{
  None: [global, commands],
  guild_one: [guild, one, commands],
  guild_two: [guild, two, commands]
}

copy_global_to will copy [global, commands] and add them to the commands for the guild you pass.
This is only done locally, you must still sync.

All commands are global by default. There are a few ways to make them guild-specific:

• @app_commands.guilds() decorator on an app_commands.Group sublcass or @app_commands.command()
• guild/guilds in @tree.command()
• guild/guilds in bot.add_cog, only if the cog is a GroupCog
• guild/guilds in tree.add_command, not typically used

A common practice for syncing is to pick a specific guild for testing and run tree.copy_global_to(guild=guild) then tree.sync(guild=guild).
When you're done testing, tree.clear_commands(guild=guild) then tree.sync(guild=guild).
When you're ready to publish your commands, tree.sync().

This command makes the process pretty straightforward and easy to work with. I would recommend reading the bottom section on how it works

[dire mason]

I got it.

I already made it.

Btw, really improving I think

[quick brook]

that's nice to hear

[dire mason]

Do you mind explaining to me how music bots work

[quick brook]

i have no clue on how they work

[dire mason]

Not like how they search for the song and play it?

[quick brook]

lavalink + wavelink

[final iron]

Any idea on why this wouldn't be returning the data

  connection = await asqlite.connect("RatioData.db")
  cursor: asqlite.Cursor = await connection.cursor()
  await cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM {country}")
  print(country)
  ratio_info = await cursor.fetchone()
  print(ratio_info)

[dire mason]

Yay more apis to learn!

[final iron]

Actually, it's just returning a Row object

Usually it would return a tuple with the data

I can access the data like this

print(ratio_info[(ratio_info.keys())[0]])

But it's pretty messy, and I dunno why it's not returning a tuple like last time

[dusk dagger]

I recommend using wavelink, as it’s just a lavalink wrapper

[hushed galleon]

asqlite sets the row factory to sqlite3.Row by default, but you're free to cast it to a tuple afterwards (or star-unpack its values into print)

[final iron]

Why would this code be returning a tuple while the other code isn't?

await cursor.execute(f"SELECT user_id FROM blacklisted_users WHERE user_id=?",
                     (interaction.user.id,))
is_blacklisted = await cursor.fetchone()

[twilit grotto]

why not just use on_ready event

for the cog

[final iron]

Because you shouldn't be using on_ready for really, anything except for printing that your bot is online

[hushed galleon]

hard to tell from that snippet alone, but is the connection created the same way?

[final iron]

Exact same way, just a different database file

[hushed galleon]

are you definitely sure its a tuple? sqlite3.Row supports both access by index and key

nothing obvious in the source code to suggest it wouldnt set the row_factory correctly

[final iron]

It actually does return a Row

I could've sworn it was a tuple

I was using aiosqlite before, then I transitioned to asqlite

I guess they have different functionality

[hushed galleon]

iirc aiosqlite doesnt auto-set the row factory

[final iron]

It was just a drag and drop change when I swapped so I thought they functioned basicaly the exact same

Yeah I unpacked it, seems like it's working now

Thanks

[quick brook]

duh it's slash commands

idk if you can even read the first line of code

then why ask?

custom prefixes are much more harder and he is just learning. so no

i mean i would be interested to see how you handle custom prefixes

lol

idk where you store your custom prefixes

[quick gust]

in a microsoft word file

[quick brook]

ass

[quick gust]

oh u prefer excel?

[quick brook]

excel is jackshit for dbots

why write to a file when you can just use a database instead

[quick gust]

I was joking bro 💀

[quick brook]

no tonetags so taking it seriously

[quick gust]

tonetags?

[quick brook]

you'll be suprised by the amount of people actually using like a file as a database

[quick gust]

oh the /j shit

[quick brook]

i have seen people using google sheets to store dbot data

[quick gust]

they really depricate someone's ability to understand sarcasm, I hate em sometimes

[quick gust]

bruh

[quick brook]

it's happened before

[quick gust]

why tho? like at that point using a .txt file is easier

[quick brook]

people think gsheets is a db

but it's not

[quick gust]

that's insane

[buoyant quail]

oi anyone know tf this means?

[slate swan]

you probably have some code blocking your event loop

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

What am I doing wrong?

[quick gust]

what are you trying to achieve? a select menu?

[slate swan]

user select

[quick gust]

take a look at this example on how to make one https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

[buoyant quail]

Huh
That's interesting
I knew only about standart select

[shrewd fjord]

we have channels, user, role, standard

[slate swan]

I would like to make such a select and thought that it was created on the same principle as the usual one, but it gives an error

[buoyant quail]

It's created the same

I just tried it

[slate swan]

Then what is the reason for the error?

[buoyant quail]

What error?

[slate swan]

also to create User select use this py select = ui.Select(..., type=ComponentType.user_select) i guess

[buoyant quail]

Looks like your self.select is a function

[buoyant quail]

there is also ui.UserSelect

[slate swan]

didnt see that

yea cause you are currently using a decorator not a class to create it

hence it returns a function

[slate swan]

there is no difference

so its pycord?

[buoyant quail]

That's discord.py doc?

[slate swan]

yea

[buoyant quail]

ah

[slate swan]

both are using decorator, you are not

[slate swan]

I wanted to make a permanent view, but realized that I didn't need it XD

Thanks!

okay so basically this is a help command, it has interactions such as buttons which work fine but theres a dropdown and for whatever reason it gives an interaction error with no consol error

anyone??

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-patience-sw3-gif-21070142

There’s a way to subclass the help command so you don’t have to list every command in a dict

i just need to get the dropdown working

bro someone be useful 😭

[final iron]

We are

Nobody is paid here, you should be grateful to get help at all

[turbid condor]

Tbh the way you are making the dropdown doesn't feel good u should use a class for that which makes it neater and easier to understand

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

Check this for dropdown

And also I'll suggest you should subclass the default help command rather than removing it and creating your own like pep 9001 compliance officer and Down suggested

[lyric sigil]

i have this problem with my code :

PS C:\Users\canai\Desktop\bots\Partins> & C:/Users/canai/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python311/python.exe c:/Users/canai/Desktop/bots/Partins/main_partins.py

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", intents=discord.Intents.all())
current_time = time.gmtime()
mgr = owm.weather_manager()

my code

[quick brook]

The error quite literally describes itself

[lyric sigil]

yes but i defined it

[quick brook]

Out of scope

So no

[turbid condor]

The key is inside the function

[lyric sigil]

this error but on my another window its working

[turbid condor]

Where as you are trying to access it from outside the function

[quick brook]

The key is scoped to the load func only. So it's unreachable in the main code

[turbid condor]

Now the whole code is in the function run_bot

That's why it's accessible

[lyric sigil]

Okay fixed it

[turbid condor]

[lyric sigil]

now i have this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\canai\Desktop\bots\Partins\main_partins.py", line 46, in <module>
    @client.listen('on_message')
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'discord.client' has no attribute 'listen'

i think i'm gonna blow up my pc

[slate swan]

listen is only for Bot

you have Client

[turbid condor]

You need to use event

[lyric sigil]

but if i use event its not gonna work

already had this problem be4

[turbid condor]

But I'll suggest switching to commands.Bot instead of discord.Client

That is way better then client and has more functionality

[lyric sigil]

so how do i fix the error ?

[turbid condor]

You read the above few messages i think i answered that

[turbid condor]

Why would it not work?

[lyric sigil]

because i had 2 client events

[slate swan]

then move the code to one

or use Bot

[turbid condor]

Is the function name same?

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/creating-a-bot/#differences-between-client-and-bot

[lyric sigil]

one for the mention of the bot and one for a blocked words system

and if i tried to use one of them it would just not working

[slate swan]

Client
Only possible to have 1 callback per event.

Bot
Possible to have multiple callbacks per even using listen decorators.

[turbid condor]

Yeah then you can either move the code to one or switch to Bot

[lyric sigil]

Already tried to move to one but didn't work

[turbid condor]

Tho switching is better

[slate swan]

def f1(message):
    # do stuff 1

def f2(message):
    # do stuff 2

Merge:

def f(message):
    # do stuff 1
    # do stuff 2

[slate swan]

btw your exact case is explained here in Note @lyric sigil

[glad cradle]

😏😏😏 in disnake you can use it even with Client

another reason to switch to disnake!

[slate swan]

[glad cradle]

facts are hard to accept ik

[slate swan]

nextcord is staying with me forever

[glad cradle]

bbbbbbbbruh

nextcord doesn't support yet nextcord.File for nextcord.Embed.set_image

[quick brook]

Both disnake and nextcord are essentially useless to move to bc dpy supports all of the features that both already support

[glad cradle]

dpy has less features

[slate swan]

[quick brook]

Both also have lower quality of code and sometimes poor management

I see no point in continuing to use them

[glad cradle]

have you actually analized the source code? dpy has a lot of inefficiency too, just like how the Interaction System is implemented

[slate swan]

only point to use them is so not use discord.py app commands

[quick brook]

I can also argue that the forks way of implementing it is pretty much the same idea nonetheless

[glad cradle]

in an era where typing is becoming more and more important in python that's a great weakness

[slate swan]

t.Any

[quick brook]

Dpy also is heavily typed so....

[glad cradle]

what's similar between a single Interaction class and multiple Interaction subclasses? also forks implemented Interactions before d.py

[quick brook]

But yea it's bc of the hiatus of 2021 that caused that

[shrewd apex]

[glad cradle]

t.Optional[...] for every member

[glad cradle]

then don't say it as if the forks had copied d.py 😔

[quick brook]

They did lok

[glad cradle]

tf

[quick brook]

Forked dpy 1.7.3 and pretty much all of the implemented interactions in the same way

[shrewd apex]

serious discord bot debate time

[slate swan]

i was using discord.py then it suddenly stoped development and tried to use those discord_slash etc but it was so bad i moved to nextcord and im staying with it till today im just used to it

[glad cradle]

yes!

[glad cradle]

lmao, Interactions weren't implemented when d.py was discontinued so your point is invalid

[shrewd apex]

i have mostly just used dpy and. disnake

[slate swan]

does it really matter that much

[shrewd apex]

snipy is pro disnake contributor

[slate swan]

we're all gonna cease to exist soon enough anyway

[glad cradle]

it's just a friendly argument and we're on topic

[slate swan]

no but its fun complaining about discord.py

[glad cradle]

this tbh

[shrewd apex]

bro stating laif axioms

[slate swan]

true (i prefer it over the other forks)

[glad cradle]

have you ever used one of them

[slate swan]

as long as you guys aren't using discord_slash or those other goofy 3rd party libraries

[quick brook]

Nonetheless, all of the forks do pretty much exactly the same thing as each other, and dpy already is the de-facto standard and has the power over the other forks

[glad cradle]

we're talking about the main forks, disnake, nextcord

[quick brook]

So hence why pretty much all of the dpy forks are useless

[glad cradle]

i feel like you don't have much experience with the forks

[quick brook]

The only reason to continue using them is if you have bots written during the hiatus period

[glad cradle]

you're just talking knowing the base API that is in common with d.py

[quick brook]

#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

true tbh

[glad cradle]

well that's your point, i can assure you that the forks have a lot of original and useful features which d.py doesn't have

[shrewd apex]

there a bunch of differences bw dpy and disnake on more of a developer level interface with newer features and api

[final iron]

Like…?

[shrewd apex]

and incremental changes being applied on older ones

atleast with respect to disnake

[glad cradle]

look at the events, Disnake has more and they are also useful

[final iron]

List them

[glad cradle]

i can link the docs

[final iron]

Sure, if you list the specific events

[slate swan]

🗿

[final iron]

If you know that disnake has more and they’re better, you should know at least a couple events

[shrewd apex]

disnake has hot reloading for cogs

out of the box support

[glad cradle]

can't remember, lemme link them

[shrewd apex]

for events there are a bunch of lower level apis or triggers in main bot class that i have found useful just never matched and checked if it exists in dpy

[glad cradle]

most of these events doesn't exist in d.py https://docs.disnake.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#interactions

[slate swan]

on_button_click

[shrewd apex]

weren't u talking about some stateless views and all

[glad cradle]

they use on_interaction iirc

[glad cradle]

yeah there's also that

[slate swan]

!pypi nextcord

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord v2.5.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API forked from discord.py

[glad cradle]

they're called low level components

in d.py you can send components only using views

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.9.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[glad cradle]

in disnake you can send raw components

there's also an extension for that which is really cool

[glad cradle]

and they are cool because they never time out

[slate swan]

doesnt show monthly downloads

scared

[shrewd apex]

go to pypistats

[slate swan]

does disnake really doesnt have Interaction.send method

[shrewd apex]

it does

[glad cradle]

you can check them at this site https://pypistats.org/

[slate swan]

then why dont they use it in examples

[shrewd apex]

skill issue 😔

[glad cradle]

they use it https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/interactions/localizations.py#L68

[unkempt canyon]

[glad cradle]

why y'all talk without checking 😭

[slate swan]

im talking about examples on pypi page

[glad cradle]

ah

[shrewd apex]

dpy supermacy

[glad cradle]

yeah, never questioned it's popularity

it's because it was the only one

it's living from past glory

[slate swan]

Interactions.py:
Downloads last month: 687

aint now way

how is that 233k

[final iron]

Biggest cappers fr

[slate swan]

https://pypistats.org/packages/interactions-py

literally 687 downloads

[glad cradle]

tf v5.10

[slate swan]

did they just start with 5.x or sum

and why is that april 10 this year

nah they did have 1.0

[quick brook]

they do

on_button_clicked on dpy is simply called the callback coro

on_modal_submit is simply called on_submit within discord.ui.Modal

one thing disnake doesn't have is setup hooks

and with dpy, discord.Client (and by extension commands.Bot) are also async ctx managers, so you can just async with MyBot() as bot and also use other async ctx managers alongside it

and according to pepy.tech, here are the download results within the last 7 days:

Interactions.py: 482
Hikari: 3,306
Disnake: 10,989
Pycord: 12,574
Nextcord: 54,412
Discord.py: 1,822,157

so clearly dpy is better

[slate swan]

i wouldnt say its better just cause more people download it

[glad cradle]

not valid since disnake implements that too, and on_button_click works without a view

why you're using the downloads as argument

[quick brook]

still that's just spammy behavior

[glad cradle]

does that matter?

[quick brook]

yes

[glad cradle]

what

[glad cradle]

#discord-bots message

[quick brook]

the stats show it

[glad cradle]

yeah past glory

[slate swan]

only reason that discord.py has so much is cause its interpreted as "main" library

[upbeat mason]

i have the regular emojis there but they dont show the emoji like but as :dice_1

Does someone wanna help me with a ban command?

I have it to where it tries to send a message to the user before banning, but if it doesnt have permission to ban the user it wont send the dm, but now when it does ban them it just wont send the dm at all

[queen swallow]

Hello am doing my 1st project (discord bot for dnd) I want the bot to pull spell or class information in command, i dont know how to ( am pretty new to coding)

(am just finish making welcome command to new people to sever)

[slate swan]

The library is not made for people that are "pretty new to coding" but rather for people with advanced knowledge

[vapid parcel]

if anyone knows how to fix this, just ping me or sum so i know.

[slate swan]

Because custom emojis need to be sent as !dice_1

[upbeat mason]

when i tried getting the id i couldnt it just gave me dice_1 but thanks

[slate swan]

Because your bot is not in this server

So it can't use emojis of servers it's not in

And to get the ID just send \:whatever:

[vapid parcel]

can you help me?

[slate swan]

we cant help you with getting your bot here its most likely impossible

[vapid parcel]

huh

[slate swan]

but you can download the emojis and upload to your own server

[queen swallow]

What do you recommend 1st thing to learn for my project?

[vapid parcel]

Can you help me with my command?

[slate swan]

python basics + intermediate topics like OOP, decorators and async await syntax

[slate swan]

what you need help with

[vapid parcel]

Here

[slate swan]

why dont you move the error handling into error handler

[slate swan]

thank you

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/error-handling/#command-handler

[vapid parcel]

i dont have cogs setup if thats what you mean

[slate swan]

nope i mean error handling not cogs

[vapid parcel]

okay what else is wrong with the command besides error handling?

[slate swan]

i dont know its too messy thats why i recommend to use error handler

then you will most likely see why it wont send the dm

[vapid parcel]

Okay

[slate swan]

currently you have try excepts inside try excepts

everytime i press a button i get interaction failed? how do i fix it

ive looked over my code many times

[unkempt canyon]

Not in a million years.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[hushed galleon]

what library are you using? if its discord.py, on_button_click isnt an event that's used

[slate swan]

i am using discord.py, that event would it be then/

[onyx elk]

@client.component("click_me")
async def _click_me(ctx: interactions.ComponentContext):
await ctx.send("Clicked!")

idk this help u

[hushed galleon]

buttons and views work with callbacks, typically written either as a subclass of [View: ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="Button 1")
async def button_1(self, interaction, button):
# interaction.respond() is not a thing in discord.py
await interaction.response.send_message("Hello world!")

Usage:

view = MyView()
await channel.send(..., view=view)or a subclass of Button:py
class Button1(discord.ui.Button):
async def callback(self, interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("Hello world!")

Usage:

view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(Button1(label="Button 1"))
await channel.send(..., view=view)``` see also the official examples: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/v2.3.2/examples/views

[onyx elk]

https://github.com/svaxyyy/discord.py-ButtonsExample

heres example for buttons

[hushed galleon]

discord-components was yanked from pypi, you cant install it anymore

[hushed galleon]

this is also for an entirely different library (interactions.py), not discord.py

[onyx elk]

same thing

[slate swan]

    async def menu1(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Worked Boss")
        workbook = openpyxl.load_workbook(excel_file)
        worksheet = workbook.active
        worksheet.append([response])
        workbook.save(excel_file)```

how can i add the response variable

[mighty pilot]

Not at all lol

[mighty pilot]

What's the question exactly?

[pallid meadow]

Ah you mean like a command argument?

Depends, if you want user text input you would make another argument in the function and type hint it with :str

Oh wait this is a button

Then yeah, I’m also having trouble understanding the question

[quick brook]

why excel is my first question

just use a db

[mighty pilot]

I don't even ask anymore. If people want to use it I let them lol

[queen swallow]

is discord bot too much of project for beginner?

[quick brook]

yes

dpy is a highly advanced library

- Primitive data types
- Operators
- Data structures
- Importing
- Variables, namespace and scope
- String formatting
- OOP
- Control flow
- Exception handling
- Function definitions
- Classes, objects, attributes and methods
- Console usage, interpreters and environments
- Decorators

Useful to know:
- Asyncio basics
- What is blocking?
- Logging
- knowing how to read docs properly
``` for more details see <https://gist.github.com/scragly/095b5278a354d46e86f02d643fc3d64b#required-knowledge>

You should know these concepts before you get started

[quick brook]

yes

see tag above for the concepts you'll need to know beforehand

once you know and fully understand these concepts, you can continue with getting started

1. Before even attempting to create a discord bot, please learn python (?tag lp)
2. To install discord.py, please run python3 -m pip install discord.py (linux), or py -3 - m pip install discord.py (windows)
   If you wish to use voice functionality, please use discord.py[voice] instead of discord.py
3. Take a look at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py Mess around.
4. When you start making your bot, use the commands ext: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html
   or if you wanna use slash commands: https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f
5. The library documentation is available at https://discordpy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

If you need help please make a post in our #985299059441025044 Forum if its related to Python and/or Discord.py

If you are migrating from the old version of this library (1.7.x) to version 2.X.X please follow the migrating guide https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html

[queen swallow]

thank you

[hushed galleon]

i wouldn't say you need to fully understand every concept listed, but object oriented programming is definitely a big aspect of discord.py as it uses a lot of objects to let you do stuff with your bot, and the documentation's API reference is stuffed with classes, attributes, and methods that are hard to grasp without knowing their distinctions (though this is not to say you should start learning OOP before more primitive concepts like variables and functions, since these concepts build on top of each other)

as for resources, discord.py can be quite hard to learn from the internet alone (most youtube videos and stackoverflow posts have gotten very out-of-date), but you can find plenty of learning materials for python itself like the official tutorial, Automate The Boring Stuff, and Corey Schafer (see his beginner and OOP playlists)

regardless of what you know, getting used to a library can take some time, so start off simple with your bots and gradually work towards more complex features

[queen swallow]

I do watch some video and each different make me confuse which right

[quick brook]

Tutorials for dpy are usually trash to begin with. They are mostly outdated and contain so many bad practices.

Such as... leaking tokens, no message contents, and so forth

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[gloomy bone]

i did

[hasty pike]

@gloomy bone and what's the issue?

[quick brook]

U don't need to

[hasty pike]

Why?

[gloomy bone]

need to see if i can improve on anything in this code bc ive heard someone said my last one was api abuse and my account could;'ve gotten banned for it

[quick brook]

Bc u can't

[gloomy bone]

and that it was a trash script in general so im just checking

[hasty pike]

makes sense

[hasty pike]

this isn't a review channel if you have any issue we can help you solve it

[gloomy bone]

is there a review channel for discord bots?

[turbid condor]

This is a general channel for discord-bots not explicitly for help

[turbid condor]

Welp there are a two things that u can do

• Store the variables in a different file like use a config.py or .env instead of of the main.py.
• Use commands.Bot instead of discord.Client as Bot is better since provides more functionality (in case you want to make the bot bigger)

Now as for a mistake you are missing meesage_content intent which is required to read messages so your on_message event will not work as intended. Check !intents for further info.

[gloomy bone]

ty also do u mind taking a look about this one import discord

from aioimaplib import aioImap4
from discord.ext import commands
from config import DISCORD_TOKEN, EMAIL_HOST, EMAIL_PORT, EMAIL_USERNAME, EMAIL_PASSWORD, TARGET_EMAIL, TARGET_WORD, DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.typing = False
intents.presences = False
intents.message_content = True  # Enable reading message content

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name}')

@bot.command()
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello!')

@bot.command()
async def say(ctx, *, message):
    await ctx.send(message)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    await bot.process_commands(message)  # Process commands alongside custom on_message code
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return
    # Access the content of the message using message.content
    message_content = message.content
    # Check if the message contains the target word
    if TARGET_WORD.lower() in message_content.lower():
        # Send a Discord notification
        await message.channel.send("Received a message with the target word!")

async def check_emails():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    while not bot.is_closed():
        try:
            # Connect to the email server
            await imap_client.wait_hello()
            await imap_client.login(EMAIL_USERNAME, EMAIL_PASSWORD)
            # Select the mailbox (e.g., INBOX)
            await imap_client.select('INBOX')
            # Search for emails containing the target word or from the target email
            result, data = await imap_client.search(None, f'(FROM "{TARGET_EMAIL}" OR TEXT "{TARGET_WORD}")')
            # Fetch and process the matching emails
            for num in data[0].split():
                _, email_data = await imap_client.fetch(num, '(BODY[TEXT])')
                email_content = email_data[0][1].decode('utf-8')
                print(f"Received email:\n{email_content}")
                # Send a Discord notification
                channel = bot.get_channel(DISCORD_CHANNEL_ID)
                await channel.send(f"Received an email:\n{email_content}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error checking email: {str(e)}")
        # Wait for some time before checking again
        await asyncio.sleep(60)  # Check every minute

# Start the email checking loop and the Discord bot
bot.loop.create_task(check_emails())
bot.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)

[turbid condor]

You forgot process commands in your on_message event which will cause your commands to not work

Instead of @bot.event use @bot.listen() to solve the above stated issue

[gloomy bone]

and sorry i dont code so this might be a really dumb question but when i open the file on config its not color coded so is config not linked to the main script?

[turbid condor]

Might be linter issue

[gloomy bone]

linter?

[turbid condor]

The thing that colors your code

And finds out error

[gloomy bone]

so is it important

[turbid condor]

Nah if your code is working fine then ignore it

And don't use spaces when naming your files instead use an underscore where you need a space

[gloomy bone]

okay i just renamed it

and do you know what going on

i typed in the email and i did the pass right

[turbid condor]

Welp the error says they are invalid

[gloomy bone]

okay well thanks ima try to figure it the rest out tmrw do u mind if i txt u if i need help?

[turbid condor]

Just text here

Someone will reply and you will get better suggestions

[gloomy bone]

okay i got you thanks again and goodnight

Are any of the raspberry pis capable of running large discord bots?

[quick brook]

dont use a r pi for running large bots

just get a vps and use that instead

where's the docs for d.py slash commands

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree

class discord.app_commands.CommandTree(client, *, fallback_to_global=True)```
Represents a container that holds application command information.

[quick brook]

Not that lmao

[quick brook]

Here is a short example of how to use discord.py's slash commands as well as general information on them:

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

This currently covers free commands and groups at the Bot level, as well as within Cog classes.
It also includes information and gotchas relating to syncing and whatnot.

NOTE: This will be migrating to https://about.abstractumbra.dev/ as soon as I can be bothered to finish it.

Nanika is writing an official app commands guide and I will also be helping with that

If you are curious about the pr, here it is: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/pull/9557

Gonna help her review the docs. Already have been reviewing another doc entry for the last couple of days

[slate swan]

is there a limit on app_command choices per command?

[hushed galleon]

the decorator or the number of choices per parameter? for the former no afaik, the library explicitly handles stacking the decorator:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/app_commands/commands.py#L2205-L2211

[unkempt canyon]

discord/app_commands/commands.py lines 2205 to 2211

if isinstance(inner, Command):
    _populate_choices(inner._params, parameters)
else:
    try:
        inner.__discord_app_commands_param_choices__.update(parameters)  # type: ignore # Runtime attribute access
    except AttributeError:
        inner.__discord_app_commands_param_choices__ = parameters  # type: ignore # Runtime attribute assignment```

[hushed galleon]

if you mean the latter, its 25 max as per discord api docs
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-structure

[slate swan]

I mean the deco @app_commands.choices

I mean like the actual amount of choices you can put

[quick brook]

Don't remember

[slate swan]

I think it's 25 yeah

[quick brook]

If 25+ just use auto completes instead

[slate swan]

auto completes?

[quick brook]

Autocomplete is an interaction type that shows a set autocomplete values/options to the user as they type in an option.
Autocomplete is only available for str, int, and float types, and only available in chat-input (slash) commands.

To add an autocomplete option to a command, it is recommended for it to be done in one of two ways:

You can use the @command.autocomplete('option_name') decorator, where the str argument passed as the first parameter to the decorator
is the name of the parameter you want to provide autocomplete to:

@app_commands.command(...)
async def foo(interaction: discord.Interaction, bar: str):
    ...

@foo.autocomplete('bar')
async def autocomplete_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str):
    # Do stuff with the "current" parameter, e.g. querying it search results...

    # Then return a list of app_commands.Choice
    return [
        app_commands.Choice(name='Option 1', value='Option 1')
    ]

As seen above, the parameters in autocomplete_callback are interaction (the autocomplete interaction received) and current (the incomplete value the user is entering).

You can also use it as @app_commands.autocomplete(option_name=callback). Every kwarg name is the option name and the value of it is the function/callback of the autocomplete callback, taking and returning the same exact arguments as above.

[naive briar]

They asked for the docs, I gave then the docs 🤷

[tall wharf]

ok, Imma ask here since I'm currently working on a discord bot.

[quick brook]

CommandTree basically doesn't explain anything

[quick brook]

go ahead

[naive briar]

You can just click the link to go to the app_commands docs

[quick brook]

but that basically doesn't help a beginner. that's why i provided a full guide on it

[naive briar]

They asked for the docs

[quick brook]

one person please

[tall wharf]

For some reason my pip install isn't working, so I googled a solution. On a website they told me to run the python -v command in the command prompt to see what version of python I'm running. My computer told me that I don't have python installed even though I installed it yesterday. what the hell am I doing wrong here?

[quick brook]

did you install python from the official website?

[tall wharf]

yup

I also have all the files on the computer

[quick brook]

probably not in PATH

[tall wharf]

ok, how do I fix that?

[quick brook]

you'll have to add the directory that you have installed python into to the system path

for adding to system path on windows, you can google that up

[tall wharf]

alright, thank you

[quick brook]

np

[slate swan]

So I have a question... In one of my js bots the dir is setup like this:

bot/commands
bot/hooks

What would be the simpliest way to in the commands dir to have like test.py and it is the /test command. I can do whatever in the main file.

I am using py-cord, just referrencing a js bot that I have.

[tall wharf]

so, small issue. I found pip, but I don't have a python.exe file. do I need to reinstall python?

[quick brook]

probably reinstall python just to be safe

[tall wharf]

alright

[quick brook]

cogs

[slate swan]

What would be the most effective away then doing like:

class Test(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, bot) -> None:
    self.bot = bot

  @commands.slash_command(name="test", description="testing")
  async def _test(self, inter: discord.Interaction):
    await ctx.respond("Testing")

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

For every file ^^

[quick brook]

so cogs house categories of commands, not individual comamnds. for example, if I have a feature which is my economy system, all of the commands for my economy system would go in a cog called Economy (ext file would be economy.py). In short, djs princples do not apply to dpy princples here

applying djs princples and design to dpy is like trying to shove a circle through an outline designed for squares only with both shapes constrained to the same sizes and specs

another example can be trying to make an orange into a banana

[slate swan]

So just not effective to do what I would be doing in js?

[quick brook]

you can't

that's the point

anyways, if you need examples on cogs on an actual bot, I would recommend looking into this

[tall wharf]

happy to report that I fixed my python 😄

[quick brook]

nice to hear

[tall wharf]

pip is still giving me the middle finger

[slate swan]

hmmmm what discord bot should I make an open source....

[quick brook]

up to you

[quick brook]

yea sometimes pip breaks and it's annoying

[slate swan]

Any ideas?

[quick brook]

what i will say is this: do not reinvent the wheel. What i mean by this is most bots do exactly what other bots already do. and in fact, if there is an idea that you have, more than likely another bot already has done it

you'll notice that for example with birthday bots, there will be either a monoploy or oligopoly on said feature or idea

if you want a good bot, it must approach it from an angle that has not been approached from or solves an issue that has never been solved every

you can definitely analyze the discord bot market from a economics point of view. but i won't go on about analyzing market factors and mircoeconomics

[hasty pike]

      await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
await interaction.followup.response.send()

Can anyone help me with this

'webhook' object has no attribute 'response'

Error on 2nd line

[golden portal]

pretty much, webhook only have .send attr, so followup.send(...) instead

[hasty pike]

Remove interaction?

[golden portal]

no, interaction.followup is a webhook

[hasty pike]

What what do i need to do?

followup.send()

Worked

Thanks

[golden portal]

welcome

[brazen raft]

Judging by the fact you mentioned Command Prompt and it seems relevant, you are on Windows. Microsoft shipped this really annoying alias linking to Microsoft Store's Python (goes by the alias python). You need to use py, and just to be safe your pip installs the packages into the correct Python instsallation, py -m pip install .... py -m runs a library module as a script

[tall wharf]

thanks, I managed to solve it though by reinstalling python though

I'll keep it in mind for the future though

[lyric sigil]

I have a question , i want to create a webhook thats says if a change occured on a specific website. How do i make this ?

cuz i have this block :

import aiohttp
from discord.ext import tasks

RECENT_HTML = ""

@tasks.loop(hours=1)
async def download_webpage():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get("<url>") as response:
            if response.status != 200:
                # Notify users that the website could not be scraped

             html = await response.text()
            if html != RECENT_HTML:
                # Notify users of changes within the website
                # An HTML parser could be used to identify specific changes within the HTML
                # Or you could just tell the members that a change occurred.
             RECENT_HTML = html

But i can't figure out how to link it w/ a webhook

[quick brook]

U can get the webhook from an url and go from yhete

[lyric sigil]

what ?

[lyric sigil]

can you simplify that ?

[slate swan]

what do i do if all my slash commands are printing this?..

Delete that command you've created just to get the badge and add actual commands

what is the point of getting developer badge when you are not a developer?

[mighty pilot]

Is there some interactive walk through now or something?

[quick brook]

Clout apparently

[shrewd apex]

how can u say that look at his profile

[wicked atlas]

seems likely you have something here

[slate swan]

apparently python is the only programming language..

[wicked atlas]

?

[slate swan]

thanks man that worked

[shrewd apex]

hmm ur genshin impact site is cool

maybe make the navbar transparent

or just remove it altogether

also ur scroll indicator and arrow buttons seem to be reversed

[slate swan]

i kind of abandoned it

[shrewd apex]

i like the pics

[gloomy bone]

i made a code for discord to login my gmail and send me somehting if it recognizes it to my discord server5

but when i try to login it tells me theres a error

does any1 mind telling me why

[quick brook]

Why

[mighty pilot]

That sounds horrible lol

Was it going off frequently?

Idk if it affects login but the api will only take so many requests per day nvm it's usage per second not day

[gloomy bone]

y i made a discord bot to send men notification to my discord server if i recieved a message by a specific email/person?

is that what ur asking or u asking something else

[gloomy bone]

wdym

[mighty pilot]

Nvm just read over it again

[gloomy bone]

ohh okay

[mighty pilot]

Sounds like a Google specific thing tbh

the Gmail API has a daily quota limit for sending emails. According to the Gmail API documentation, the daily sending quota is 1,000 messages per day for free Gmail accounts and 10,000 messages per day for paid G Suite accounts.

I doubt you're hitting those numbers

But they're a thing

[quick brook]

That's just straight up a privacy violation and poor way to moderate

[gloomy bone]

wait how is that a privacy violationa

i dont check my email and i only check my discord and the bots only gonna be used for me and no1 else

and i need to know when this certain email texts me

[quick brook]

just like storing messages sounds really sus

[gloomy bone]

no nothing bad i swear loll i just need to know when this email texts me

and i dont check email thats it

[quick brook]

ok then

[mighty pilot]

I think you're reading it backwards. Sending the email to discord not vice versa

[quick brook]

ohhh ok

then it's a smtp / gmail thing

[mighty pilot]

I thought the same thing at first lol

[gloomy bone]

yeah

[quick brook]

idk about that so...

[mighty pilot]

Google would be a good place to start

[gloomy bone]

i used google

nothing on it that helps me

[mighty pilot]

There's a Google Dev discord server

I meant ask the Google community/people that are knowledgeable on the Google half of your program

[gloomy bone]

wait actually didnt think of that im ab to check rn

[gloomy bone]

i dont see any google dev servers

that r actually active

[mighty pilot]

<insert normal discord invite>/google-dev-community

[gloomy bone]

which chat do i even text in

there all just random stuff

[mighty pilot]

Idk

[mighty pilot]

Can I put multiple views in one class

[upbeat gust]

why?

[final iron]

Possibly if you do some wacky shit

It’s not recommended though

[cinder ledge]

Anyone else using Vultr VPS with New Jersey server been seeing some weird latencies or timeout errors with their bot?

[gloomy bone]

someone tell me what this is

[karmic nimbus]

    @commands.command(hidden=True)
    async def join(self, ctx):
        # initialize node
        ...        
        vc = 0
        vc: wavelink.Player = await ctx.author.voice.channel.connect(cls=wavelink.Player)
        
    @commands.command(hidden=True)
    async def play(self, ctx, *, track: str):
        vc = 0
        vc: wavelink.Player = ctx.voice_client
        
        tracks = await wavelink.YouTubeTrack.search(track)
        
        if not tracks:
            await ctx.send("no track found")
            
        else:
            await vc.play(tracks[0])
            await ctx.send(f"Now playing: {tracks[0]}")

why no music played? it said now playing.
btw i use py-cord not dpy

[vale wing]

This project violates youtube ToS hence no help can be provided according to rule 5

[vale wing]

Weird latencies mostly happen cause of discord no matter the host. You can diagnose the issue via testing internet speed with package like speedtest-cli and checking discord ping via bot.latency

[vale wing]

Why not just combine items of those views into one

[slate swan]

when a bot is in voice can it only input or does it actually receive output too?

[vale wing]

It does, but not all libs support that

[slate swan]

does d.py?

[meager rock]

Nope

[quick brook]

As of now no

But... there is a PR in the works for it

[meager rock]

there's a pull request for that though, you can get some code from there and make your own implementation

that is ,if discord didn't break anything since then

[quick brook]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/pull/9288

Plus an experimental ext that is worked on by Imayhaveborkedit

Note the keyword experimental

[meager rock]

Cool, there was another pr I'm aware of
Is this the continuation of the same repo?

[slate swan]

sick, I'll check it out later.

[quick brook]

Doubt it

[meager rock]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/1094 it was just an issue ig

[quick brook]

This one is way way old

[meager rock]

makes sense
time to make one for hikari

[quick brook]

Hikari's design makes no sense half the time. You end up relying on an external command handler just to deal with commands

Nonetheless, this is the ext that was referring to: https://github.com/imayhaveborkedit/discord-ext-voice-recv

[meager rock]

I mean hikari tends to be as native ( similar to actual discord API environment) as possible. Most libraries of other languages like discord.js serenity-rs etc tend to have a similar design
It's just discord.py and the forks that stand out

[quick brook]

Fair enough

[cinder ledge]

Thank you for the insight. I currently check bot.latency, but I’ll look into adding Speedtest-cli

Without looking I’d assume a good Speedtest with high latency means it’s narrowed to discord?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[mighty pilot]

Different servers/channels. I think I've got it figured out now though

[pallid meadow]

Host does have a big impact on latency though

That’s why I always recommend people host their bots in an ashburn datacenter

I think there could other underlying issues with their code here I don’t think this would be a discord issue

[cinder ledge]

While I wouldn’t say I’m amazing at Python or d.py, probably the host. Reset the server and things have been running better. Still getting weird sporadic 404s though. Still looking up what exactly that may mean

[turbid condor]

Can you show the log

[cinder ledge]

Yeah one moment

[turbid condor]

As far as i know 404 generally occurs when something isn't found

Can't say much without looking at your traceback

[cinder ledge]

You responded too late

Defer your interaction and the send a followup

I thought that's what defer was for?

They got the error while trying to defer

my wiki command starts with defer

sometimes, when the command works, you'll see the "is thinking.." prompt.
Other times, it just doesn't respond and the log gives 404

my bot.latency also shows anwhere between 30ms to > 3k ms, but that's been steady since I reset the server

[turbid condor]

Can't say for sure but it might be a issue on the host par

Yeah I'd say a latency between 30-200 might be good

Try checking the code by running on your own system and see if the problem continues

[naive briar]

3k ms!?

That explains the error

[turbid condor]

Even a latency of 300+ is no good

[cinder ledge]

It was stupid

[turbid condor]

[turbid condor]

Welp latency is your problem

Switch to a better host

[cinder ledge]

any recommendations other than Vultr then?

[turbid condor]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[obtuse saddle]

im doing a bot

and I keep getting this error for a kick commmand

ValueError: Callback SlashApplicationCommand kick <function kick at 0x0000023E5EEA9B20> is missing the interaction parameter. Please double check your function definition```

@bot.slash_command()
async def kick(interaction: nextcord.Interaction, user: nextcord.Member, reason: str):
    if not interaction.user.guild.permissions.administrator:
        await interaction.response.send_message("You do not have permission to run this command, permission needed = ADMINISTRATOR.", ephemeral=True)

    else:
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Kicked (user.mention)", ephemeral=True)
        await user.kick(reason=reason)

is my code

[slate swan]

full traceback?

[onyx elk]

can i make a full discord bot using every single code i find in this channel

[sick birch]

maybe

[buoyant quail]

i believe yes

depending on what "full" bot means

[turbid condor]

Welp you can but it's up to u to solve the errors since most of the codes that are here have some error you may find a few snippets that don't show errors

[onyx elk]

i got a free vps that is actually good

[final iron]

Which

[onyx elk]

u want link?

[final iron]

No

What’s it called

[onyx elk]

bot-hosting.net

but pls use my referal link if u wanna check out

i need the coins (u dont need referals but it n

makes ut easier to get better sercers

[slate swan]

is that an ad 🧐

[final iron]

What’s the full trace back

Also what’s the point of creating a kick command when it already exists

Using the built in function has many, many more advantages

[naive briar]

Like?

[slate swan]

You can extend upon the built-in commands with your own functionality, so making a custom kick command can be useful I suppose

[naive briar]

How?

[final iron]

Considering role hierarchy, permissions, 2FA server security settings, audit log and UI

[naive briar]

What does audit log and UI have to do with kick commands?

[final iron]

Who user who performed the kick will show up in the audit log, and can actually be filtered for

[naive briar]

And you can check the user's permissions before letting them kicking an user

[naive briar]

I suppose

[final iron]

Sure, but he’s only checking for administrator

Kicking a user also has a UI, furthermore relying on bots to perform these built in actions makes no sense

[naive briar]

Nice

[turbid condor]

Welp those are in built commands so they obv have advantage over the bot commands

[final iron]

Okay, so why use bot commands lol

[naive briar]

More commands to make a million commands Discord bot

[obtuse saddle]

its fixed dw.

[obtuse saddle]

Thats true, Im trying to learn how to code discord bots w/ python so I am following a tutorial.

[obtuse saddle]

So what should I check for?

[quick brook]

tutorials for dpy are ass

[final iron]

Owner, kick members

[obtuse saddle]

Alr

Im doing an edited version with like my edits

[quick brook]

they are highly outdated, contain bad practices, and most of the time, only focus on doing it in one way only

[obtuse saddle]

A question

So the tutorial does suck.

Im using it for a basic understanding

I am stuck on something.

[quick brook]

still the same idea. You'll end up learning the bad practices that the tutorials try to teach

[obtuse saddle]

For this command ```py
@bot.slash_command(description="kicks a user from the designated server.")

[quick brook]

my dude this is not dpy

[obtuse saddle]

Wait just listne.

I need to add something which checks the guilds

that the command is run in

[quick brook]

checks if the command is synced only to those guilds?

[obtuse saddle]

No,

Checks what guild the command was used in

[quick brook]

interaction.guild to get the guild

[obtuse saddle]

interaction.guild?

So how would I fit it in?

[quick brook]

just check it against whatever guild ids you allow

or if you want to only allow that command to be ran on those guilds only, then this would be what you want to look for

[obtuse saddle]

@bot.slash_command(description="kicks a user from the designated server.", guild_ids=interaction.guild)

[obtuse saddle]

?

[quick brook]

do you even know what library you are using? i already know, but would rather have you figure it out

[obtuse saddle]

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/quickstart.html#a-minimal-bot

[quick brook]

why use nextcord?

[obtuse saddle]

Idk

[quick brook]

you probably don't know the history of the dpy forks

[serene pasture]

Hi

[obtuse saddle]

No-

[quick brook]

nonetheless, just go ask on nextcord server bc i dont work with nextcord and refuse to

[obtuse saddle]

So what do you work with?

[quick brook]

only discord.py

[slate swan]

..

[obtuse saddle]

discord.gg/nextcord

[slate swan]

just let people use what they want

[obtuse saddle]

No nextcord chat sucks

It aint active

[slate swan]

what is your question?

[obtuse saddle]

My question is.

I need to add something which checks the guild id.

That the command is run in.

[slate swan]

you want a command be only available in one guild?

[obtuse saddle]

No.

[slate swan]

you want to do some special action for desired guild?

[obtuse saddle]

???

[slate swan]

i dont know explain more

[obtuse saddle]

Alright

So In the beggining of my command

@bot.slash_command(description="kicks a user from the designated server.", guild_ids = # I need a guild id here.

[glad cradle]

they're called modals

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

class discord.ui.Modal(*, title=..., timeout=None, custom_id=...)```
Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[obtuse saddle]

You know what

Imma try using discord.py

[slate swan]

yeah you need to add id here and what about it

[quick brook]

ok if you need any dpy help lmk

[slate swan]

(this restricts command to only guilds selected)

[glad cradle]

you get the guild id through the Interaction object: inter.guild.id

[slate swan]

like i said

[obtuse saddle]

Oh

Well it doesn't work without it

[slate swan]

it can take some time to sync globally

[obtuse saddle]

Discord.py time, Idk what the hell im doing lemme go watch a 30 minute tut.

[quick brook]

https://discord.gg/r3sSKJJ

[slate swan]

dont watch tutorials on youtube

[quick brook]

if you even need some help, even with getting started with dpy, i would recommend joining the server

[slate swan]

they are so bad

[glad cradle]

i mean if you aren't even able to get the guild id you think syncing the command tree will be easier?

[obtuse saddle]

Yeah

Where do I get a tutorial then?

[glad cradle]

?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/tree/master/examples

[quick brook]

1. Before even attempting to create a discord bot, please learn python (?tag lp)
2. To install discord.py, please run python3 -m pip install discord.py (linux), or py -3 - m pip install discord.py (windows)
   If you wish to use voice functionality, please use discord.py[voice] instead of discord.py
3. Take a look at https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py Mess around.
4. When you start making your bot, use the commands ext: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html
   or if you wanna use slash commands: https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f
5. The library documentation is available at https://discordpy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

If you need help please make a post in our #985299059441025044 Forum if its related to Python and/or Discord.py

If you are migrating from the old version of this library (1.7.x) to version 2.X.X please follow the migrating guide https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html

best one

This is not a Modmail thread.

[obtuse saddle]

I installed discord.py alr

[quick brook]

did you look at the next steps?

[glad cradle]

lmaoo

[obtuse saddle]

Im going to first full learn python

[slate swan]

gl switching libraries mid project xd

[slate swan]

best tut

[quick brook]

good idea

[glad cradle]

you should've done that from the beginning

[obtuse saddle]

I was watching a yt tut LOL

[bright heron]

sup guys can any1 help me?

[quick brook]

explain

[bright heron]

wait im sending ss

this

@quick brook

[quick brook]

the error explains itself already

[bright heron]

ye but idk how i fix it

im kinda dumb tbh

[quick brook]

read it

[slate swan]

!e open("filethatdoesntexist.txt")

[bright heron]

ye ik what there is but idk how i need to fix it

[quick brook]

what do you think you need to do in order to fix it?

[bright heron]

there is a file named like this

this is why idk how i need to fix it

[quick brook]

that ___ (fill in the blank)

[glad cradle]

UwU path issues

check where you are running the command

[bright heron]

wdym

[vale wing]

UwU path?1?2!1!

[glad cradle]

unfortunately i gotta go, pls check in what path you are executing the command

or is it a script that's opening the file?

[slate swan]

thats explainable

[glad cradle]

yes OwO pick me pls

[vale wing]

From where

[glad cradle]

also pls I'm crying so much on 198

[slate swan]

shouldnt have choosen it

[bright heron]

this is everything that is happing after its closing

its saying "the system could find the path"

[slate swan]

you need to be in the directory the file is in before running the command or whatever you run

[glad cradle]

my room

[bright heron]

there is no directory file

[slate swan]

there is a file named like this

you before

[bright heron]

file named like you before?

[slate swan]

may you share the github you downloaded it from?

🤦

[bright heron]

?

[slate swan]

blud aint even hiding it

Not even trying

do i really have to explain that we wont help with such problems

too much honesty

[bright heron]

hiding what ????

[slate swan]

!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.

[bright heron]

lol

xD

[slate swan]

oH I DidN't kNoW

funny isnt it

[bright heron]

oH i DiNt ReAd ThE rUlEs

[slate swan]

you didnt read terms of service of discord you are using just now?

It's called common sense

thats unfortunate

[bright heron]

im joining every day a discord server i cant read the rules everytime

not really everyday but smth like that

[slate swan]

Those are not even server specific

Those are on https://discord.com/guidelines and https://discord.com/tos

[vale wing]

Coming in 5 min

[slate swan]

Which applies any time any server, doesn't matter

[bright heron]

damn

[slate swan]

And you won't end up getting banned from just a server, but from Discord overall

Anyways, enough off-topic

[bright heron]

ye i need help with luna thing

[slate swan]

No you won't get any help

[bright heron]

why

[slate swan]

For the reason above

[bright heron]

bruh

[slate swan]

xd

[vale wing]

Moment

[slate swan]

dont continue asking questions about this problem here anymore thanks :)

[bright heron]

kk

cya

[vale wing]

How do I make free bobux generator?1!1?

[slate swan]

you dont

blud left

[vale wing]

Off to dpy server

[slate swan]

Will get slammed there

[vale wing]

😔

[shrewd apex]

what happened 👀

did i miss some interesting stuff

[slate swan]

no some guy literally linked this repo https://github.com/Smug246/Luna-Grabber and asked why he cant install it

[shrewd apex]

ayo

473 stars

damnnnn

[slate swan]

are you one of them 🧐

[shrewd apex]

nope

didn't even know something like this exists

[slate swan]

but the star graph site is cool to know

already seeing evals everywhere

[glad cradle]

liar you didn't come

Save me from #198

[vale wing]

I did

But didn't find you

[glad cradle]

how did you not find me, i was there working on #198 (I'm here since 3 weeks pls send help actually bobux is an enslaving organization pls)

[vale wing]

Ok

Donate 10 mil to charity

[slate swan]

just noticed blud messaged me 😭

right after

[pastel shale]

hey, does anyone have a working script for a basic discord bot? I've tried everything, I've looked everywhere but nothing works for me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[glad cradle]

ask 10$

[glad cradle]

mh @slate swan made a quite popular template, you just need to set some things https://github.com/kkrypt0nn/Python-Discord-Bot-Template

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

And I need to update that shit one day

[quick brook]

you do. also dont auto sync during on_ready events and setup hooks exist

just use umbra's sync command or jsk's sync command

also store the aiohttp.ClientSession() as an attr on your subclassed bot

alos refrain from spamming aiosqlite conns

[slate swan]

Well the sync thing was supposed to be gone either way

Same for db connection

[quick brook]

i see

[slate swan]

I just can't be arsed to code in python anymore

[quick brook]

fair enough

i might work on my own template for bots

[mighty pilot]

Is there something wrong with this?

Main file

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN =

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

    
@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    await bot.load_extension("cogs.my_cog1")
    print('ready')
    
@bot.tree.command()
async def test(interaction:discord.Interaction):
    await bot.tree.sync()
    await interaction.response.send_message(content = 'testing')

bot.run(TOKEN, reconnect = True)```


Cog file
```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class MyCog1(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        
    @commands.command()
    async def testing(self, interaction:discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(content= 'Testing2')

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MyCog1(bot))```

It runs, if I put a print before the cog class it'll print but the command won't load

No errors

[dire mason]

How do you get the roles, and joindate of the author.

[hushed galleon]

is testing meant to be a prefix command or a slash command? the @commands.command() decorator makes it a prefix command, but you're attempting to use an interaction inside of it

[mighty pilot]

Oooo that's where it is

Need app_commands

Thanks. Been a long day

[hushed galleon]

with discord.py? if you have a member object, you can access both with the .roles and .joined_at attributes respectively

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role) that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[hushed galleon]

lol the docs messed up the markdown on that

[dire mason]

how would I make these into @dire mason and stuff without the ids

[hushed galleon]

loop through each role object and use its .mention property to get the mention as a string

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention a role.

[hushed galleon]

also consider using the allowed_mentions= parameter to avoid pinging those roles, if you haven't already

[faint dragon]

has anyone here gone deep into doing custom logic on d.py?

ex; entirely custom cog/command logic (loading, prepping, doing all the command's checks, invoking)

[wanton current]

Why

[quick brook]

just why

[golden portal]

custom cog require using metaclass and custom command logic require subclassing command itself which can get pretty annoying

[runic wraith]

how can I fetch the vc where the user is who interacted with the button?
