[arctic briar]

if a autocomplete returns a valid list of Choice objects in less than 3s what can make discord say to the user 'failed loading options'?

[haughty dagger]

show code

[arctic briar]

@slash1.autocomplete('iskola_neve')
async def slash1_autocomp(interaction:discord.Interaction,courent:str)->list[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
    options=[]
    global KLIK_OPTIONS
    if 'kliks' not in globals():
        KLIK_OPTIONS=get_kliks()
    for name, value in KLIK_OPTIONS.items():
        if courent.lower() in name.lower():
            options.append(app_commands.Choice(name=name,value=value))
            
        if len(options)>=7:
            break
    print(options)
    return options

the dict in KLIK_OPTIONS has like 4900 elements but the print shows that it is fast enught

[haughty dagger]

try using return options[:25]

[arctic briar]

that didnt fix it

nothing seems to change the loop already stops at 7
if len(options)>=7:

if it helps this is one of the list discord sayid loading options failed for
[Choice(name='Földi János Két Tanítási Nyelvu Általános Iskola és Alapfokú Muvészeti Iskola Szilágyi Dániel Úti Tagintézménye', value='klik031049006'), Choice(name='Egri Szilágyi Erzsébet Gimnázium és Kollégium', value='klik031598001'), Choice(name='Egri Szilágyi Erzsébet Gimnázium és Kollégium Tagintézmény', value='klik031598101'), Choice(name='Budapest I. Kerületi Szilágyi Erzsébet Gimnázium', value='klik035219001'), Choice(name='Miskolci Szilágyi Dezso Általános Iskola', value='klik028978001'), Choice(name='Miskolci Szilágyi Dezso Általános Iskola Görömbölyi Tagiskolája', value='klik028978003'), Choice(name='Berettyóújfalui SZC Szilágyi Dániel Gimnáziuma, Szakgimnáziuma és Szakközépiskolája', value='beszc-szilagyi')]

i found it it turns out schools in hungary can have more than a 100 letters witch is the limit for Choices names lengths for example:
Földi János Két Tanítási Nyelvu Általános Iskola és Alapfokú Muvészeti Iskola Szilágyi Dániel Úti Tagintézménye
witch is 111 letters

You should be. Show your code

Unless you’re using Literal[]

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float) values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

For more information, see the [`Command.autocomplete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete) documentation.

Warning

The choices returned from this coroutine are suggestions. The user may ignore them and input their own value...

[final iron]

Ah, the value can only be str, int or floats

You cannot have classes as the value

[haughty dagger]

I found another way to achieve it nvm

thanks for the help though

[fading marlin]

create_ticket doesn't have any code, just comments

[young dagger]

@ashen notch I was going to add a list of users who are not queued up under the one that is queued up. What can I title this list?

Nvm I could just add two emojis ✅ ❌ grab every user in voice channel and then check if they are in queue or not

[shadow oar]

anyone tried sillydev site before to host a bot?
it's not letting me install dotenv python package
idk i might've messed up
should i send the error message in the console here? it's so long

okay this will say enough i guess

i guess it says that dotenv is not installed? even tho it should be since i typed it in the python packages place in the site ummmm

[final iron]

Buy a real VPS like hetzner

All those hosting sites are trash

[shadow oar]

i dont wanna spend money on my first discord bot that doesnt do much at all lol
but i get your point thank you

[final iron]

It has been said a million times before, and will continue to be said. Free hosting sites are terrible as hosting inherently costs money. They all have major drawbacks, such as shared IPs which can get your bot cloudflare banned, hosting sites having access to your token and in certain cases them actually owning your bot

The issue you’re having is directly linked to your host choice. You haven’t even started your bot yet but you’re already running into issues due to it

[lyric isle]

hi

[shadow oar]

alright thank you

[lyric isle]

who uses turtle py for game dev

[final iron]

#game-development

[lyric isle]

ok

what do you use to make discord bots

[final iron]

discord.py

[slate swan]

its undefined cause you never created such varriable?

[final iron]

Are you asking how to define a variable?

How is it confusing

In Python variables are defined with the = operator

Defining variables is one of the first things you learn when using Python. I’d highly recommend learning the basics before creating a discord bot as discord.py isn’t designed to be a beginner library

[young dagger]

How can I grab all the users from a voice channel and compare it to a list?

[slate swan]

Hello I have the code of a python bot connect to save the world on fortnite and the bot works but as soon as I execute a command the bot does not respond, can you help

[final iron]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.members

property members```
Returns all members that are currently inside this voice channel.

[final iron]

Does Fortnite allow robots to automatically join their game and collect rewards?

[slate swan]

Of course but here the problem is that hardly I make a basic command like a /help the bot doesn't answer

[young dagger]

Something like this?

    voice_channel_id = 712072729406472374
    voice_channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(voice_channel_id)
    members_in_channel = voice_channel.members

[final iron]

= is used for assignment

Also tias

[young dagger]

Should I sort the list by those in the queue and those who are not?

[graceful temple]

yo

HOW DO U DO THIS?

[void mauve]

Having trouble getting guild object, passing the right id but the guild is still None somehow. Any suggestions?

class TicketBot(commands.Bot, View):
    def __init__(
            self,
            initial_extensions: list[str],
            guild_id: int,
    ):
        super().__init__(command_prefix='', intents=discord.Intents.all())

        self.initial_extensions = initial_extensions
        self.guild_id = guild_id

    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.change_presence(activity=discord.CustomActivity(name='👀 Waiting for tickets'))

        print(f'{self.user.name} is ready')

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        for extension in self.initial_extensions:
            await self.load_extension(extension)

            print('loaded!')
        # Here I am trying to get guild object
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=self.get_guild(self.guild_id))
        await self.tree.sync()

[fading marlin]

Cache isn't populated on setup_hook, so get_* will always return None. Also don't automatically sync, it's not recommended

[void mauve]

how do I sync then?

[fading marlin]

Use an owner-only prefix command

[void mauve]

took the thing from examples on git, they always put it either in on_ready or setup_hook

[void mauve]

lemme search it up on docs

[fading marlin]

You don't need to sync every time you start your bot, and it's an easy way to get ratelimited

[void mauve]

can you send examples or link to the docs where it is mentioned?

[fading marlin]

Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html
Implementation details (for sync command): https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/29/sync-command-example.html

thanks a lot

but it seems to not sync the command from my cog

!e you can't call sets 🤷

@naive briar :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

[sick birch]

Is {str}(selection) supposed to be str(selection)?

[blazing condor]

you're trying to call a coroutine inside a nromal function.

[young dagger]

Is there any way I could simplify/improve this code?

    # Get the voice channel
    voice_channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(712072729406472374)

    # Sort users_queue by ready_time
    users_queue_sorted = sorted(users_queue, key=lambda x: x.get("ready_time", datetime.datetime.min))

    # Separate users into "Ready" and "Not ready"
    ready_users = [member for member in voice_channel.members if member in [user["member"] for user in users_queue_sorted]]
    not_ready_users = [member for member in voice_channel.members if member not in [user["member"] for user in users_queue_sorted]]

    # Create strings for "Ready" and "Not ready" users
    ready_string = '\n'.join([f'{member.mention}' for member in ready_users])
    not_ready_string = '\n'.join([f'{member.mention}' for member in not_ready_users])```

[golden portal]

this is probably faster tbh than iterating everytime ```py
members_in_queue = [user["member"] for user in users_queue_sorted]
ready_or_not_users = {}
for m in voice_channel.members:
ready_or_not_users.setdefault(m in members_in_queue, []).append(m)

ready_string = '\n'.join([f'{member.mention}' for member in ready_or_not_users[True]])
not_ready_string = '\n'.join([f'{member.mention}' for member in ready_or_not_users[False]])

maybe use a set for members_in_queue

can you show full traceback?

is one of your extension importing main file or something?

[young dagger]

What about?

# Separate users into "Ready" and "Not ready"
ready_users, not_ready_users = [], []
for member in voice_channel.members:
    (ready_users if member in (user["member"] for user in users_queue_sorted) else not_ready_users).append(member)

# Create strings for "Ready" and "Not ready" users
ready_string = '\n'.join(member.mention for member in ready_users)
not_ready_string = '\n'.join(member.mention for member in not_ready_users)```

@golden portal Or what about:

# Extract members in the voice channel
channel_members = set(voice_channel.members)

# Find members in users_queue_sorted
ready_members = channel_members.intersection(user["member"] for user in users_queue_sorted)
not_ready_members = channel_members.difference(ready_members)

[golden portal]

preferred

also generator are slower than list comp, so better use list comp when possible

[young dagger]

What about to make it as simple as:

# Get the voice channel
voice_channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(712072729406472374)

# Sort users_queue by ready_time
users_queue_sorted = sorted(users_queue, key=lambda x: x.get("ready_time", datetime.datetime.min))

# Get sets of members for "Ready" and "Not ready"
all_members = set(voice_channel.members)
ready_members = set(user["member"] for user in users_queue_sorted)
not_ready_members = all_members - ready_members

# Create strings for "Ready" and "Not ready" users
ready_string = '\n'.join(member.mention for member in ready_members)
not_ready_string = '\n'.join(member.mention for member in not_ready_members)

[golden portal]

i mean, you're essentially doing the same thing tbh, it's up to you to use which one

[young dagger]

Which one would you use? Still the one you provided?

[golden portal]

this i guess?

[slate swan]

I think there's some sort of circular import going on here

Nevermind discord teleported me again

[azure tulip]

Who used railway?
can you help me

[slate swan]

you completely skipped the actual error message so i doubt any1 knows how to help you

[slate swan]

you cant install os since its built in module

[slate swan]

datetime is built in too

[azure tulip]

I'm blind, can you show me where in the console it wrote about datetime, so that I could also see the next error, it just kicks out again and I don't understand anything.

is an hour of annotations unnecessary?

Can someone help me to install like discord.py for windows?

[shrewd apex]

just pip install?

[abstract fox]

idk i have no clue at all probably

[shrewd apex]

have u installed python?

[abstract fox]

yh

[shrewd apex]

which version

[abstract fox]

most recent

[shrewd apex]

3.12?

[abstract fox]

No, the stable one.

[shrewd apex]

aight so open a command prompt then type in pip install discord.py

and enter

[abstract fox]

it didnt work,

i am on windows if that helps

[shrewd apex]

and what was the error

[abstract fox]

idk

i cant read it

Where exactly do I run it?

[shrewd apex]

copy paste the error here or send a pic

[shrewd apex]

command prompt

[abstract fox]

this one?

[shrewd apex]

python -m pip install discord.py

[abstract fox]

oh

it said python was not found

[shrewd apex]

then u dont have it installed

[abstract fox]

Okay, how do I install it? (I thought I did)

[shrewd apex]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/ follow this

[abstract fox]

Thanks.

[abstract fox]

are you able to help any more? this is what i have now.

[shrewd apex]

close cmd open again

then do pip install discord.py

[abstract fox]

worked tysm

[shrewd apex]

np

[abstract fox]

what now?

how do I open it?

kk

wha-

i have never been more confused lol

how do I make a new file?

and what is visual studio code?

kk yeah just wanted to ensure i was right since that guide is kinda confusing ngl

https://code.visualstudio.com this one?

im kinda regretting trying to code my bots in python rather then using botghost lol

[final iron]

FYI discord.py isn’t a beginner library so without the prerequisites you’re going to have a lot of trouble

[abstract fox]

yeah but like i have no use but for discord bots so best way to learn

i can read docs

the install was just confusing me so much lol

[final iron]

Creating discord bots is definitely not the best way to learn as you’ll need to employ 20+ concepts just to create something simple

[abstract fox]

ehh, sound confusing and i like it

[azure tulip]

@bot.command()

the error message says it came from your reload command... did you type .reload or .reload eco?

btw load_extension() and reload_extension() need to be awaited too oops that's for discord.py, not disnake

[urban wren]

what's going on, should we wait for any updates?

can you show the full error message? import errors like this usually mean you have one or more conflicting libraries installed

[azure tulip]

either way, the command code is the same.

[final iron]

Can you run pip show discord.py in the terminal?

[urban wren]

and why I should do that?

[hushed galleon]

eh they definitely have discord.py>=2.0, but i suspect either py-cord or nextcord is installed

if you have either of those packages, uninstall them alongside discord.py, then reinstall discord.py

[urban wren]

so ?

I just reinstalled

python and discord.py

[hushed galleon]

do you have py-cord or nextcord installed?

[urban wren]

let me check

what was the cmd to check which ones u installed

[hushed galleon]

pip list

[urban wren]

only discord.py 2.3.2

[final iron]

Run pip freeze and show the output please

[urban wren]

pip freeze is the same as pip list

[final iron]

The only package you have installed is discord.py?

[urban wren]

along the others like pyglet colorama etc

[final iron]

Can you show the entire output please?

[urban wren]

sure but does that help me ?

[slate swan]

yes

that seems fine, how did you reinstall discord.py?

pip uninstall discord.py

Did you do any special commands/flags to install aiohttp, or was it automatically installed when you installed discord.py?

[urban wren]

all auto

[shrewd apex]

he seems to be using python 3.12 iirc dpy dosent support 3.12 does it?

[slate swan]

it does not

[final iron]

discord.py does, aiohttp was having issues

[shrewd apex]

yeah deps

[final iron]

aiohttp can be installed with custom wheels though, but I guess he didn’t do that

[urban wren]

should I reinstall aiohttp ?

aiohttp 3.9.0 released some time ago so that should be fine with 3.12

[slate swan]

he has 3.7

[final iron]

What’s the command to check the interpreters installed on the system again?

[shrewd apex]

py -0 iirc

[final iron]

It’s py -0 right?

@urban wren could you run that?

[hushed galleon]

i mean i wouldn't be worried about it given that the earlier error message indicates it came from 3.12's global site-packages

[urban wren]

C:\Users\PC>py -0
-V:3.12 * Python 3.12 (64-bit)

[slate swan]

try pip install -U aiohttp

[final iron]

The issue is with discord.py itself

_shorten does exist in discord.utils, so there shouldn’t be an import issue

[hushed galleon]

^ tbh i don't know why your discord.py install would still be corrupted after a reinstall

[urban wren]

let me reinstall everything and check again i guess

[shrewd apex]

do u have a folder/file named discord or smn?

[slate swan]

Which is better for hosting discord bots? Linuix Or Windows?

[slate swan]

linux

[shrewd apex]

irrelevant imo

[slate swan]

Location?

wym location

Like what would get the fastest speed

[final iron]

Doesn’t really matter

[slate swan]

How to make 💰 using discord bots ?

[shrewd apex]

pretty hard

[final iron]

If you have a capable server and internet the speed differences from location to location will be small

[slate swan]

technically does matter cause if its for hosting services why waste memory for hosting windows server

[shrewd apex]

since discord bot markets are very saturated

[slate swan]

while you can be running on some debian

[final iron]

Referring to the location question

[slate swan]

Any other ways

[slate swan]

ah

[final iron]

Really depends on what type of bot you have

[slate swan]

What type does it work ?

So like a uk linux vps would run near enough the same speed as a USA one?

[slate swan]

speed of what

[shrewd apex]

ping

[slate swan]

ping

And how fast it responds

[shrewd apex]

its hard to tell it depends on the data center hosting the vps

usually its uniform

[slate swan]

pong

depends where the receiving server is

[urban wren]

should I just install 3.9 python?

[slate swan]

3.11 if so

[final iron]

Are you asking how to monetise your current bot, or how to create a bot that produces income

[slate swan]

Mostly both cases would be helpful

I dont really have a useful bot but I'm working on one that is not gonna make any money

[urban wren]

3.10 for the win I guess

[azure tulip]

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def reload(ctx, extention): # .load eco
    bot.reload_extension(f"cogs.{extension}")

Help how to fix this

[slate swan]

What bot are you working on

[shrewd apex]

how did u use the command

[final iron]

You’re not passing any arguments when invoking the command

[shrewd apex]

u forgot to pass the extension name when using it

[final iron]

extention is a required argument

[final iron]

At this stage creating a bot for money isn’t profitable unless it’s an extension of an already existing business

[acoustic kernel]

how can I loop through and create a button for each item in a dictionary?

[slate swan]

Talk me more

[final iron]

Which part are you asking for help with

[acoustic kernel]

Like how do I create the button?

I know how to create individual buttons, but I want to loop through each item in my dictionary to create a button

[final iron]

If you’re creating them dynamically id initialise the class

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[final iron]

These would then be added to the discord.ui.View instance

[slate swan]

Where do I host my discord bot for free 24/7

[slate swan]

you dont

Well replit does that ;_;

how is replit a hosting service

You use replit and uptimerobot and keep_alive.py

and how does that make it a hosting service

[slate swan]

Your bot is on 24/7

XDX

😂

[final iron]

A hosting service does not require you to ping a web server thats run alongside your bot to keep the connection alive

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.ui.Modal < @spark nimbus

[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...

[spark nimbus]

Thx

[acoustic kernel]

If I have a command that has buttons and I want to edit the original message when a button is clicked how do I do that?

[fading granite]

I'm using the on_reaction_add event

[shrewd fjord]

Its better to use this event

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

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

[true vector]

is discord.py still actively maintainend ?

[shrewd apex]

yes

[slate swan]

Yes bro

[true vector]

thanks

[young dagger]

Why am I getting a warn for the following line:

actual_reason = lowercase_preset_reasons.get(reason.lower(), reason)```

After the Pycharm update

[open flame]

how to add the python bot to a server

[true vector]

just invite it with the link you get in the discord developer portal

[shrewd fjord]

Its related to your type manager extension

[young dagger]

Do I ignore it? How do I fix it?

[vale wing]

Because StringLiteral is security type

To ensure unwanted people don't put unwanted stuff into unwanted places

You can ignore it if your case allows you to, but you'd rather ensure string passed there doesn't pose security vulnerability

I.e. choice of string is limited

!d typing.LiteralString

[unkempt canyon]

typing.LiteralString

typing.LiteralString```
Special type that includes only literal strings.

Any string literal is compatible with `LiteralString`, as is another `LiteralString`. However, an object typed as just `str` is not. A string created by composing `LiteralString`-typed objects is also acceptable as a `LiteralString`.

Example...

[young dagger]

Here is my code:

preset_reasons = {
    "NSFW": "No NSFW or inappropriate content. This includes pornographic material, foul language, violence, and any other content that is widely found to be offensive and not suitable for public environments.",
    "Spam": "Do not spam or otherwise misuse any channels. Keep content in their respective channels. Prevent yourself from splitting words or use several lines to say very little (line splitting)."
}

        lowercase_preset_reasons = {key.lower(): value for key, value in preset_reasons.items()}

        actual_reason = lowercase_preset_reasons.get(reason.lower(), reason)

@vale wing Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

[prime steeple]

actual_reason = str(lowercase_preset_reasons.get(reason.lower()), str(reason))

[hushed galleon]

a bit odd that pycharm inferred the type that way, but regardless you can override the typehint yourself to mark dict keys as str, i.e. preset_reasons: dict[str, str] = ... (syntax assuming python>=3.9)

[young dagger]

Thank you

[acoustic kernel]

If I have a command that has buttons and I want to edit the original message when a button is clicked how do I do that?

[potent light]

Use interaction.edit_original_response() inside your button's callback.

[shrewd apex]

i was going through your localization tutorial here for the actual translations do we have to do them manually?

ie the msgstr string

[hushed galleon]

oui, gettext assumes you or someone else can translate your program to the given locale

[shrewd apex]

ah now that makes sense 💀 i was thinking get text does it for me

[shrewd apex]

well if thats the case whats the point of the comments 😂

now time to work on a translation script btw i have doubt when i direcly used some translations from google translate it lead to discord not liking some of the characters prolly due to charset does gettext help with that?

[hushed galleon]

Translators find it easier to provide an appropriate localization when they know the context of each message being translated. As such, adding comments beside messages is a helpful practice.
sometimes asking a person to just translate a string like "roll" isn't enough, for example which meaning of roll are they referring to? is it a food item, an action, or an adjective for another noun?

tbf the comment i wrote there also doesn't really give that context 🙃

[shrewd apex]

bro ngl i thought gettext did the translations and not some other person ;-;

it happened in the msginit i assumed

[hushed galleon]

fair enough, i'll amend the document to clarify that

[shrewd apex]

so i got confused for a period of time

[hushed galleon]

gettext is apparently 33 year old tech

[shrewd apex]

btw another part u can include is the parts of gettext (msginit) dosent come with the usual git bash i had to install git sdk and pacman install gettext to get it so while the .po file will generate it will still give a few trivial errors

[shrewd apex]

dumb of me ;-;

[cloud dawn]

Is py from src.utils.generic import * inside an __init__ ethical to do?

[shrewd apex]

yeah make sure to declare an __all__ in the generic

[cloud dawn]

oh lol thought this was #python-discussion lel

[shrewd apex]

thats usually what libs often do

[cloud dawn]

all?

I guess I could

[shrewd apex]

specifies a list of valid imports for linters altho if they want to import it it wont actually raise any error during runtime

[hushed galleon]

huh that's weird, all the gettext programs i've mentioned i could use from git... msginit.exe straight up wasn't in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin?

[shrewd apex]

parts of it a few sh scripts which were supposed to be in usr/share were missing

[cloud dawn]

ah.. I'm asking since ruff is crying about it

src\utils\__init__.py:1:1: F403 `from src.utils.generic import *` used; unable to detect undefined names

[shrewd apex]

these ones were missing for me

[shrewd apex]

ur already in directory can u not do from generic import *

[cloud dawn]

Yeah I just did but still the same result.

src\utils\__init__.py:1:1: F403 'from .generic import *' used; unable to detect undefined names

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/2407

[cloud dawn]

"Going to close for now because I'm comfortable with our current behavior." bruh

[shrewd apex]

did u declare __all__ in generic?

[cloud dawn]

Yep

[shrewd apex]

declare one in init too

[cloud dawn]

Just throws x amount of errors of objects.

[shrewd apex]

hmm weird tbh just mark it as # noqa: F403

[cloud dawn]

It's going into the ignore list how about that

[hushed galleon]

ahh those /usr/share warnings, i forgot about them

[shrewd apex]

running into some unicode encode errors any idea on how to deal with those? i am not really sure since the charsets of languages are not utf-8 so getting errors

[hushed galleon]

can you make a #1035199133436354600 post and paste the error message?

[shrewd apex]

yeah I'll get to it again tmrw its like 3am here lmao sorry

[hushed galleon]

oh lol, gnighty then

[slate swan]

does anyone know why my bot replys so late? It has 30ms ping and no errors but it replys like a min after its on a linux vps

[hushed galleon]

could be stuck on anything really, have you tried adding logging/print statements across your command to see where it's holding up on?

[slate swan]

Ooops, It was a command what i haven't finished and i think that was it so i've just commented it out

[cloud dawn]

How did it still respond then

[cloud dawn]

Any1 there?

[fading marlin]

The event decorator shouldn't be called

[languid sequoia]

I am attempting to create a discord/ game bot for a VR game using console commands within that game. My problem is is that I would like to automate the process of inputting usernames within that game so that way users can not abuse the system. The way it would work be by a user executing a “!link username” command. The bot would then give them a random string of letters in game and then they would follow the command up by doing “!link code”. This part I understand how to do, my problem is that I do not know how to make a variable have different values based on who executes it.

[desert heart]

Use a dictionary to map each user to their own value.

[languid sequoia]

What’s the difference between a dictionary and a database?

[vale wing]

Dictionary is a data structure, database is a data storing service

Can't compare really

[shrewd apex]

matplotlib?

[vale wing]

Math command

Then how it doesn't work

If there's no reaction it's intents issue

Ok nvm it's not

Is that the whole code

[shrewd apex]

ah right

[stark nexus]

 @discord.ui.button(label="🔇", style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def mute(self,  interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        vc = discord.utils.get(client.voice_clients, guild=interaction.guild)
        
        if not vc or not vc.is_playing():
            return await interaction.response.send_message("There's no music paused now!")
        else:
            if vc.source.volume == 0.0:
                vc.source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(vc.source, volume=50.0)
                await interaction.response.send_message("Music unmuted")
            else:
                vc.source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(vc.source, volume=0.0)
                await interaction.response.send_message("Music muted")```

How suppose i edit?
I mean the vc.sourse.volume it's getting error

[golden portal]

the largest is 1.0 represents 100% btw

[stark nexus]

Oh

[golden portal]

if you wanna set the volume, just set as attr, vc.source.volume = .5

[stark nexus]

I'm using buttons

Like add 5 each time

[golden portal]

uh okay?

[stark nexus]

When it reach maximum it stop add and say a sentence

[stark nexus]

Then will it be the error?

The error is vc.sourse has no "volume"

[golden portal]

whats your code

[stark nexus]

This

Or u need entire?

[golden portal]

can you show the entire traceback?

[stark nexus]

Oh

Sure

[stark nexus]

Here

[golden portal]

i see

[stark nexus]

Where do you think it's error? : o

[golden portal]

the error is you haven't transform it yet to PCMVolumeTransformer

[stark nexus]

I see
How suppose i transform into?

[golden portal]

so maybe like, ```py
new_volume = 0.5
current_volume = getattr(vc.source, 'volume', None)
if current_volume is None:
vc.source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(vc.source, volume=new_volume)
elif current_volume == 0.0:
vc.source.volume = new_volume
else:
vc.source.volume = 0

honestly i dont see much info on it

[stark nexus]

Okay

Let my try a bit

[slim kelp]

excuse me haw can i install pygame?

[blazing condor]

#game-development

[blazing condor]

well u have 2 separate definitions of MyClient classes

do u know what intents are?

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

[obsidian fable]

can bots read the timestamp of rich presence? using discord.Activity

[brazen raft]

Should be the created_at attribute for all activity types inheriting discord.BaseActivity

[obsidian fable]

is discord.Activity different compared to discord.BaseActivity?

[brazen raft]

Yes

[obsidian fable]

whats the difference?

[brazen raft]

discord.BaseActivity's only attribute is created_at

This is all there is to it

[obsidian fable]

so I should be using discord.BaseActivity instead of discord.Activity?

[brazen raft]

No, I mean you can access created_at with any type of activity

[obsidian fable]

ooh

I see

[brazen raft]

The "07:41 elapsed" is calculated from it

Or from attributes which refer to the created_at attribute

[obsidian fable]

would https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Game.start work as well?

[brazen raft]

If you want to account for Game only, ye

Only Activity, Game and Spotify objects have a start attribute

[obsidian fable]

I think discord.Activity.start would get the job done, I just need the timestamp

is that right?

[brazen raft]

Streaming, CustomActivity don't have a start attribute for example

[obsidian fable]

what are CustomActivity?

[brazen raft]

!d discord.CustomActivity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CustomActivity

list ``Silly_input2 = [":fire:", "bruh", ":hey:", "magnificent", "silly"]``

i want to make the bot respond with random.choice(Silly_List) if any of the inputs in Silly_list2 is typed, how would i do that?

[shrewd apex]

if p_message in silly_input2

[maiden pilot]

oh it's that simple?

thanks!

[young dagger]

Are list comprehensions faster than loops?

    # Separate users into "Ready" and "Not ready"
    ready_users = []
    not_ready_users = []
    for member in voice_channel.members:
        if member in users_queue_sorted:
            ready_users.append(member)
        else:
            not_ready_users.append(member)

vs

    # Separate users into "Ready" and "Not ready" using list comprehension
    ready_users = [member for member in voice_channel.members if member in users_queue_sorted]
    not_ready_users = [member for member in voice_channel.members if member not in users_queue_sorted]```

Which method should I use?

[cunning briar]

what 24/7 means

[brazen raft]

Twenty four hours in all seven days of the week

Aka always

[brazen raft]

Here I'd prefer the statements version for the single looping

[final iron]

They should be about the same speed

You can just time it yourself

[young dagger]

Which one would you personally use?

how do i learn python?

[final iron]

List comps

[shrewd fjord]

But list comp is faster always

[naive briar]

They're using two list comps in the code, so that'll be two loops

So, I'd prefer the first one in this case

[slate swan]

you wanna also consider readability

[latent harness]

My bot's commands don't work for me but do work for another person... Whats the prob here?

[final iron]

Share your code

[latent harness]

Sure

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CQCA

@final iron

The code might be a bit to disorganized. Pls don't tell me that since i already know lmao 😅

Hope you understand it tho

[shrewd fjord]

Oh didn't know, i was talking about in general

How do I add a new line to slash command value

[coral cradle]

I know this isn't exactly dc.py but can someone who still knows what reality is tell me what they have done with the active users list in the mobile app ??

[naive briar]

What?

[young dagger]

Can you give me an example?

[brazen raft]

The members tab in the search screen which shows when you click on the 🔍 icon on the top right corner of the chat screen

[coral cradle]

okay i see now... kind of annoying but i like the feel

[young dagger]

And why is that? Because list comp should always be faster, even for this case no?

[naive briar]

It is faster if you only need to loop once, but not when you're comparing two list comps to a single loop

[shrewd apex]

why do u need two diff lists for that in first place

[naive briar]

!timeit

After putting condition can i order list somehow?

If b 5+6
If c 7+8
Now can i order program to print abc

[young dagger]

@naive briar This one is winning with 7.64 and we are using list comp

[naive briar]

Those are not list comprehensions

That's just initializing lists from sets

!e

print(list({0, 1, 2}))

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

voice_channel_set = set(["User10", "User2", "User5", "User44", "User5", "User6", "User75", "User8", "User96", "User10"])

# Separate users into "Ready" and "Not ready"
ready_users = list(users_queue_set & voice_channel_set)
not_ready_users = list(voice_channel_set - users_queue_set)

print("Ready Users:", ready_users)
print("Not Ready Users:", not_ready_users)

[young dagger]

Could you do that same thing with a list, or does it have to be a set?

[mild tide]

this is the one using lists from last night

[young dagger]

Because we are comparing two lists from each other

[shrewd apex]

the other list is just negation so only one list is enough

[young dagger]

Can you show me an example?

We need ready_users and not_ready_users

[shrewd apex]

how exactly are u using them?

[young dagger]

We want to show both lists

[shrewd apex]

voice_presence = {member: member in users_queue_sorted for member in voice_channel.members}

why not something like this?

[brazen raft]

What are you fellas trying to do

[young dagger]

Beerhunter is in the room and wearing a blue shirt
Asher is in the room and not wearing a blue shirt

[shrewd apex]

just create 2 batches from users who are in a voice channel and those who are not

[young dagger]

Checking users in a voice channel and in the queue versus those who are not in the queue but still in the voice channel

[brazen raft]

So ready_members and unqueued_members?

total_connected_members = set(voice_channel.members)
queued_members = set(queued_member_whatever)
ready_members = total_connected_members & queued_members
unqueued_members = total_connected_members - queued_members  # or total_connected_members - ready_members, whichever floats your boat

[young dagger]

That is exactly what we did yesterday

[brazen raft]

How is it the problem of today

[young dagger]

# Separate users into "Ready" and "Not ready" ready_users = list(users_queue_set & voice_channel_set) not_ready_users = list(voice_channel_set - users_queue_set)

[brazen raft]

Or is it not

[young dagger]

Mostly me. I was just curious about what method to use if it's not a set

[brazen raft]

Looping and filtering

[young dagger]

So something like:

    for member in voice_channel.members:
        if member in users_queue_sorted:
            ready_users.append(member)
        else:
            not_ready_users.append(member)```

[brazen raft]

Yes

[west shuttle]

I get raise TypeError("cogs must derive from Cog") but i dont see anything wrong with the code

other cog is working

[slate swan]

seems like you tried to load a cog that doesn't inherit from the Cog class

you'll have to post code and full traceback

[uneven arch]

Im getting errors when i import these two things:from discord.ext import commands,tasks
from discord import FFmpegPCMAudio

[ocean dragon]

any mastermind able to extract the three dot animation from discord when an interaction is created and it says "thinking..."? I'd like to use it as an emote to indicate that the bot is typing gradually

[fallow mauve]

i dont think this was answered yet but its possible you have an on_message event in your code somewhere that's messing with all your commands, in which case just change it to a listener

[robust fulcrum]

guys why my buttons are not getting enabled or disabled? i guess i did a dumb mistake
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/T5U3PV6GOVICHQATRYEPAMOC7Y

[ocean dragon]

can I have buttons on a normal message which is not an interaction?

[slate swan]

can someone make me a discord bot

[stray adder]

Yes that was the problem i fixed it

Now my bot is ready i added many commands working perfect

[slate swan]

yes

[uneven arch]

Does anybody know how to reference the discord bot in a cog i want to check if bot it in a voice channel in a slash command

[shrewd apex]

self.bot

[hushed galleon]

for checking the bot's voice in particular, you'd want the guild object which contains the bot's voice client when they're connected

!d discord.Interaction.guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.guild

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

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Guild.voice_client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.voice\_client

property voice_client```
Returns the [`VoiceProtocol`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceProtocol) associated with this guild, if any.

[unreal pilot]

yo

is there anyway to get an interaction object from an id

[shrewd apex]

what id?

[hushed galleon]

like returning a previously received Interaction object by id? sure i guess, you can use a dictionary and on_interaction() to keep track of them, but it seems odd to need this

if you mean creating an Interaction object from an ID, it would require the original payload received from the gateway to reconstruct it
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/interactions.py#L167

[unkempt canyon]

discord/interactions.py line 167

def __init__(self, *, data: InteractionPayload, state: ConnectionState[ClientT]):```

[shrewd apex]

wouldnt there already be some interaction store internally?

[hushed galleon]

well i didnt see any in docs, and the library doesn't need one for anything afaik

[shrewd apex]

hmm i see

[unreal pilot]

I find it odd that there is no dpy feature for it, ill look into the reconstruction

So you would suggest me to create my own 'interceptor' to also receive interaction object payload and make this payload encodable

encodable for storing it in my db

[hushed galleon]

why do you want to recreate interactions from IDs? they only last 15 minutes anyway

[unreal pilot]

right.. forgot about that

[unreal pilot]

since i have a big sequence class that is orm and stage based

with a recovery system in case of outage

hence why i wanted to store an interaction, as i use this interaction object and its attributes multiple times throughout the sequence

ill just create an interaction dictionairy and store its attributes in there

and refractor my code

    @staticmethod
    async def map_varToInstance(guild: discord.Guild, var_name, map_var: Any) -> Any:
        if map_var[0]:
            if e := Config.VAR_TO_INSTANCE.get(map_var[1]):
                instance = await getattr(guild, e)()
                return instance.id
            return map_var[0]

a little bit of context

    @staticmethod
    def mapInstance(instance: object):
        instance_vars = dict(vars(instance))
        for k, v in instance_vars.items():
            if hasattr(v, 'id'):
                instance_vars[k] = [v.id, str(type(v))]
            elif not isinstance(v, (int, str, float, list, tuple, dict, set)):
                try:
                    instance_vars[k] = [list(v), str(type(v))]
                except:
                    instance_vars[k] = [None, str(type(v))]

        return instance_vars

Hi guys, im trying to make a /say command kinda like in minecraft, but i just can't get it to work (im very new to coding)
main.py :

if __name__ == "__main__":
    bot.run_discord_bot()```
bot.py :
```import discord
import responses
from discord import app_commands, Intents, Client, Interaction


cats = ["![Sillycat](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1179802515076821032.webp?size=128 "Sillycat")", "![Cat](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1069729563720028230.webp?size=128 "Cat")"]


async def send_message(message, user_message, is_private):
    try:
        response = responses.handle_response(user_message)
        await message.author.send(response) if is_private else await message.channel.send(response)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)


def run_discord_bot():
    bot_token = ""
    intents = discord.Intents.default()
    intents.message_content = True
    client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

    @client.event
    async def on_ready():
        print(f"{client.user} Online")

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

        if message.content in cats:
            await message.add_reaction(":Cat:")

        username = str(message.author)
        user_message = str(message.content)
        channel = str(message.channel)

        print(f'{username} said: "{user_message}" ({channel}')

        if user_message[0] == "<":
            user_message = user_message[1:]
            await send_message(message, user_message, is_private=True)
        else:
            await send_message(message, user_message, is_private=False)

        @client.tree.command()
        async def hello(interaction: Interaction):

            await interaction.response.send_message("Test")

        @bot.tree.command(name="test", description="Test description")
        async def add(interaction: discord.Interaction, word: str):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Here is it!:", description=word, color=0x9208ea)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

    client.run(bot_token)

I have of course removed my discord bot token but it would be inside the "" of bot_token = ""

Only functionaly it has right now is reacting to this cat emoji (inside joke with some friends of mine)

Currently the bot works fine with everything except the /say command (currently just called "test" i think) im not good at coding (yet)

[cloud dawn]

Where are you syncing the command? Also what i is_private?

[maiden pilot]

if the message is a dm

[maiden pilot]

wydm where am i syncing the commad? like the server or?

[cloud dawn]

The app commands, otherwise they aren't visible with /

[maiden pilot]

oh

how would i do that?

also the bot part seems to not be working, any idea why?

[blazing condor]

cause you haven't defined it

also wouldn't that be client.

[maiden pilot]

might be

[maiden pilot]

how would i do that?

i am very new to discord bots

[blazing condor]

then i would suggest reading the documentation first before jumping into it.

[maiden pilot]

i tried to find some but none of it works, atleast when i try it

[blazing condor]

Okay, let me ask you something.

[maiden pilot]

yes?

[blazing condor]

What do u think is wrong with your example? let's start there.

[hushed galleon]

there are various examples in the official repository, and the documentation has a pretty good API reference, but it lacks a proper tutorial especially for their newer features like slash commands

fyi the send_message() / run_discord_bot() code isn't really a useful structure to follow, despite the number of bots you'll find on github using it

[severe sonnet]

guys

please

[hushed galleon]

the code for your help command doesn't seem to add any description in the first place...?

[severe sonnet]

i was placing it in init though

[severe sonnet]

in __init__

[hushed galleon]

you overwrote send_bot_help though, so you have to format the description into the embed yourself

[maiden pilot]

that im missing something

[hushed galleon]

the basic principles for setting up a slash command with d.py is to:

1. define a CommandTree instance
2. add your command to that CommandTree
3. synchronize your commands to discord so your users can see them (the step that you're missing)

the simplest option is to sync your commands during startup, for example: ```py
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(intents=...)

commands.Bot comes with a CommandTree for free:

@bot.tree.command()
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("Hello world!")

Use setup_hook() to run something after your bot logs into discord:

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
await bot.tree.sync()

bot.run(...)```

[maiden pilot]

oh thank you so much

[hushed galleon]

fwiw syncing your slash commands every restart is usually unnecessary and discord can ratelimit your bot if you sync too often, but you don't have to worry about it right now, later you can write an owner-only command to sync your commands when you need to

[maiden pilot]

i'll keep that in mind, but right now im getting this error

[hushed galleon]

yeah, the prefix is used for message commands

[maiden pilot]

intents are define here btw, dunno if that would help

[hushed galleon]

dunno why its still a required argument but you can just give it some random prefix like $ or whatever

[maiden pilot]

so how would i add a prefix to it?

[hushed galleon]

as per the error, command_prefix is the name of the argument so you would write command_prefix="some prefix here" inside Bot()

btw you also mis-capitalized Intents=intents

[maiden pilot]

ah

[hushed galleon]

^ i suggest starting from scratch and just writing out what you need to define your slash commands

[maiden pilot]

completely start from scratch or?

[severe sonnet]

YAY

[hushed galleon]

sure, make another file if you want

[maiden pilot]

I've tried to make more files for other stuff but it never worked, like the reactions thing it only worked when i put it in the bot.py file

[hushed galleon]

the other code is getting in the way given that the slash commands were mistakenly over-indented

pycharm lets you define run configurations that only run one specific file, so you'll need to either change the run configuration, add a new one, or (arguably more simply) open up the built-in terminal and type out the file you want to run instead

[blazing condor]

sorry i didn't provide much information i was multitasking with the kids 🙂

[maiden pilot]

no worries dude

[maiden pilot]

a new run config? like the ```import bot

if name == "main":
bot.run_discord_bot()```

or the def run_discord_bot(): etc

[hushed galleon]

its a pycharm-specific thing
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/run-debug-configuration.html

[west shuttle]

ValueError: anchor not supported for multiline text

[hushed galleon]

this doesn't look related to discord bots, but can you show the full error message?

[unreal pilot]

???

no lol

list comprehension is like 40% faster or something

[final iron]

crazy

whole 2ms is going to make a massive difference

[unreal pilot]

theyre not the same speed

[final iron]

Sorting through a list with 10000 elements, either 1 or 2
List comp: 3.3597519397735596
Regular for loop: 3.5107860565185547

Even with 10000 elements its a difference of 16ms

With only 250 elements the difference will be extremely small

[hushed galleon]

what unit is that in? if its seconds, the difference is 151ms, but i assume the code was repeated ~5000 times so the actual performance per iteration would be even smaller
here's my benchmark measuring time per iteration https://paste.pythondiscord.com/Y2RQ py List comprehension: 395.60us For loop: 297.20us in context of asyncio/bot development, i doubt the performance of an occasional, sub-millisecond loop matters (unless it's super expensive to check member in users_queue_sorted, but we can't tell that from the original code)

[maiden pilot]

How can i do this but with stickers

Currently it's looking for only but i want it to also look for a sticker and add the same reaction

[unreal pilot]

a sticker isnt a reaction

[maiden pilot]

i want to add a reaction to a specific sticker

[unreal pilot]

message.stickers

[maiden pilot]

could you explain a bit more? im very new to coding, especially discord bots

[unreal pilot]

my advice:

dont work with discordpy if you dont know how to code

[maiden pilot]

I do know a bit about coding, just not discord.py

[unreal pilot]

ok

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=message sticker#discord.Message.stickers

use this as your handbook for discord.py

discordpy.readthedocs.io

very extensive

[maiden pilot]

i will have a look

thanks

[unreal pilot]

but for your specific thing

message.stickers returns a list

just do like

if your_sticker in message.stickers:
  await message.add_reaction(your_emojithing)

[maiden pilot]

print(message.stickers) worked to get id

[maiden pilot]

thank you dude!

[young dagger]

@unreal pilot@final iron@hushed galleon Sorry for the ping. According to this test, the loop is faster

[hushed galleon]

^ measured ~8 microsecond difference here too

either way i would hope you don't need that level of micro-optimization, especially within a discord bot

[young dagger]

Fastest script was created by @mild tide last night. Many users from the community were involved and discussed the matter.
#voice-chat-text-0 message

[hushed galleon]

oh yeah set intersection perfectly represents the problem

[unkempt canyon]

@young dagger :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 timeit job has completed with return code 0.

Thats not a fair comparison tho imo

[young dagger]

How would you have done it?

[unreal pilot]

A for loop for each list instead of one for both

[pliant mica]

pogo

[unreal pilot]

As you use 2 list comprehensions as well

[pliant mica]

can you help me for a min?

[unreal pilot]

Yes

If its a min, i wanna sleep

[pliant mica]

its less than a min

um okay

[unreal pilot]

Also the error already says whats wrong

?

So 0 indentation

[pliant mica]

yes but the dude in the video

can u open dms?

i cant send image here

[unreal pilot]

I dont accept dm’s

[pliant mica]

ohh okay ill upload image eq

[young dagger]

Why would you do that?

[unreal pilot]

This has no indentation

Indentation matters

[pliant mica]

whats indentation

[unreal pilot]

Because you also use two list comprehensions?

[unreal pilot]

Im gonna sleep

[unreal pilot]

In a production environment you wouldnt, but to show for loop vs list comprehension its not a good comparison

[pliant mica]

alright I appreciate the help

[unreal pilot]

i cant help u much

When u dont know what indentation is

Thats like the first thing of python

[pliant mica]

im new

im doing introduction in the course

[unreal pilot]

Yea ik

I suggest u read what indentation is before contuining with the course tho

[pliant mica]

alright thanks for the advice

[unreal pilot]

Its important in python

[maiden pilot]

you see how the code is pushed to the right, that's an indentation

[pliant mica]

ohh alright thanks once again

[unreal pilot]

Np! Goodnight

[unreal pilot]

Can be a space, can be 2 spaces, can be a tab (best option)

[pliant mica]

ohh

[pliant mica]

how would i write this in command promt?

[young dagger]

We don't have to do that with a for loop

[azure tulip]

how to fix it?

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def reload(ctx, extention): # .load eco
    bot.reload_extension(f"cogs.{extension}")

[final iron]

what's the full traceback?

[final iron]

Look at your spelling

[azure tulip]

thanks, I don't know English very well

My bot's commands don't work for me but do work for another person... Whats the prob here?

I'm posting this again since no one replied earlier

[shrewd fjord]

Weird

[final iron]

Create a barebones implementation and start debugging

[latent harness]

Whats a barebones implementation?

[final iron]

Implementation with only what's required

[lavish harness]

How do I make my code send a message to discord and what channel is needed? When I try to channel.send() It says something like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/runner/NoaKushiRewrite/.pythonlibs/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 441, in _run_event

[final iron]

Show your code

[lavish harness]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/MQ4Q

[golden portal]

line 20 did you set it as str?

[lavish harness]

nope its an integer

[golden portal]

error says its an str

[lavish harness]

wait i actually changed some stuff

[lavish harness]

now it says this when line 20 is an integer

Traceback (most recent call last):

    await channel.send(f'{target_id} [{key}] Changed from {previous_val} to {current_val}')
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'send'```

[golden portal]

yea you need to set the channel object first with bot.get_channel

[lavish harness]

this makes channel into None for some reason

so it also doesn't work

[golden portal]

that needs to be set after the bot ready event is fired, which means it finishes filling cache, if it returns none, either cache isnt filled yet or id is wrong

[lavish harness]

same error

im sure the id is correct because i copy pastied it

[golden portal]

show current code please

[lavish harness]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/YUOQ

[naive briar]

[golden portal]

you're essentially doing this ```py
channel = 123

def function():
channel = 456
function2()

def function2():
global channel
print(channel)

function()

when you set `channel` in a function, it defines it at a local var, you need to reference the var `global` first to override it

!e ```py
channel = 123

def function():
channel = 456
function2()

def function2():
global channel
print(channel)

function()

[unkempt canyon]

@golden portal :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

123

[golden portal]

also, that is not how you use a task loop, do check_changes.start() instead

[lavish harness]

this took a while but i get it now

lesson learned, thanks

[lavish harness]

also if i may ask for more help, the check_changes doesn't seem to be working properly, it just prints out both line 113 and line 115

something like this

i probably screwed up line 110 and line 111 :/

[unreal pilot]

Dont use globals 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Just use classes pls

[golden portal]

tell them that, i'm not gonna go through another topic to teach

[lavish harness]

Why not?

[shrewd apex]

its hard to track and manage state and scope using globals which often cause bugs

[unreal pilot]

^^^

[young dagger]

Should I keep this format?

[unreal pilot]

has more potential

make the banner color based on the rank that the person has

maybe try to shove in some emojis somewhere :d

[spark nimbus]

well i have created this ticket system which has modals and buttons and store data in json file and 2 commands are not working.
the first:
the take category command which supposed to take the category id and later open in that category a channel. but the command doesnt even sync so i think its a typo that i havent got
the second:
my launch ticket system command dont work, take a stored data for embed description(the store data for the description worked) and have a button linked to the modal.
when i tried to launch it didnt work and didnt sent any error so i added try: and except Exception as e: and now it send me in return the server
code(changed the oriantation that the modal is on top then button then ticket class):
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JJ7Q
the terminal:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/3PAQ
the 2 last parts is from the except Exception as e....

[spark nimbus]

if someone know pls tag me..

[vale wing]

Well I know but I don't really wanna browse that whole code trying to figure out what exactly is wrong. Please narrow down the issue

[final iron]

Nobody is going to debug allat code for you. You need to debug it yourself, figure out which part is having the issue and if there’s an error

Then people would be more likely to help

[robust fulcrum]

guys why i see this when i close my bot?

        await self.close()

idk why this command is not syncing while other commands are

[cloud dawn]

How are you syncing it?

[spark nimbus]

synced = len(await client.tree.sync())
print(f"CMD'S Synced: {synced}")```

[spark nimbus]

other commands are syncing only this

[cloud dawn]

Well this is a global sync

It will take up to an hour to sync new commands.

[spark nimbus]

i am not syncing command by command

[spark nimbus]

it is like that for a few days and never took more than 3 seconds

[cloud dawn]

3 seconds sound like per-guild sync.

If you sync per guild it will almost instantly sync.

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/hybrid-commands/#syncing-commands

[spark nimbus]

ok i will switch to that and let you know in a few minutes

[spark nimbus]

i am using the bot for multiple servers so i should do it for every server?

its dosnt sound right

[cloud dawn]

No you should assign one development guild and then when you want to release it to others you should sync globally. This can be done neatly by using prod and dev builds

[spark nimbus]

ok

the command is still not syncing

[robust fulcrum]

i want to restart bot, like closing and rerun it

[hushed galleon]

fyi at some point global commands started syncing instantly, api docs didn't list this in their changelog but it's mentioned in the discord dev discord

    scheduler.start()```

Why "cannot access local variable 'scheduler' whrte it is not associated with a value?"

At py schedular.start

[hushed galleon]

err you have a scheduler.start() line in the middle of your function, above where you defined the scheduler

i suggest using the d.py's built-in tasks extension for this though

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html for example: ```py
from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(time=datetime.time(hour=22, minute=0)) # 22:00 UTC
async def my_loop():
...

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
my_loop.start()```

also usually you should avoid running code in on_ready() because it can trigger repeatedly if your bot disconnects from discord

[stark nexus]

Okay

let me try a bit

[stark nexus]

what about now?

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    activity = discord.Game(name='Splatoon (In ' + str(len(client.guilds))+ ' servers)', type=1)

    server_id = 1117262143159541792
    channel_id = 1174376047735738368

    server = client.get_guild(server_id)
    channel = server.get_channel(channel_id)

    if server and channel:
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title="I went online!",
            description=f"{client.user} is successfully online!",
            color=0xebd517
        )

        await channel.send(embed=embed)

    try:
        synced = await client.tree.sync()
        print(f'Synced {len(synced)} Commands')
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
    my_loop.start()
    
    async def send_invites(channel, server_id):
        for guild in bot.guilds:
            if guild.id == server_id:

                    invite = await guild.text_channels[0].create_invite(max_age=86400)  # Max age in seconds (24 hours)
                    await channel.send(f"Invite link for {guild.name}: {invite.url}")
                except discord.Forbidden:
                    print(f"Bot doesn't have permission to create invites in {guild.name}")
                except Exception as e:
                    print(f"An error occurred while creating an invite for {guild.name}: {e}")

    @tasks.loop(hours=24)
    async def my_loop():
        channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)
        if channel:
            await send_invites(channel, server_id)```

”cannot access local variable 'my_loop’ where it is not associated with a value”

[vale wing]

Why is your my_loop defined inside on_ready

[fallow mauve]

if a command were to be used with a channel id as an argument, how would i check to see if that id matches a channel in the guild it was used in?

[vale wing]

Prefix command or slash?

[fallow mauve]

slash

[vale wing]

You can't parse a channel from other guild using slash channel selection to my knowledge

async def cmd(inter: Interaction, channel: TextChannel)```

[fallow mauve]

"TextChannel" is not defined by pylance

am i missing a library?

[vale wing]

Because it belongs to whatever library you are using

Eg discord.TextChannel

[fallow mauve]

ok

ty

so

would that mean in the command you select the actual channel?

not the id?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[fallow mauve]

awesome

[vale wing]

You get ready channel object

And you can do that with variety of types

[fallow mauve]

nice

slash commands have improved a lot since i last used them (that was years ago tho lol)

[vale wing]

Years ago there was ugly discord_slash lib and it was very ugly indeed

[fallow mauve]

yeah, i kinda tried it out and never used it again

[vale wing]

Thx god disnake appeared

[fallow mauve]

lol

[uneven arch]

I have this codemport discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Interaction
from yt_dlp import YoutubeDL

self.bot = bot

self.is_paused = False

    self.music_queue = []
    self.YDL_Options = {"format": "bestaudio", "noplaylist": "True"}
    self.FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {'before_options': '-reconnect 1 - reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5',

    self.vc = None

and keep getting this issue [NULL @ 0000023902c35640] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'pipe:'
pipe:: Invalid argument

[smoky patrol]

is it possible to change that if mode add is slected input is required:

@app_commands.describe(channel="Select a Channel")
@app_commands.describe(category="Select a Category")
async def staff_channels(
interaction: discord.Interaction,
mode: discord.app_commands.Choice[str],
input: discord.TextChannel = None,
):

so it only shows up if it is selected

[fallow mauve]

@bot.tree.command(name="addchannel", description="Adds a channel to the list.")
@app_commands.describe(channel = "A discord channel")
async def addchannel(interaction: discord.Interaction, channel: discord.TextChannel):
    with open('channels.json', 'r') as file:
        data = json.load(file)
        if not channel.id in data:
            with open(channels.json, 'w') as file:
                json.dump(channel.id, file)
            interaction.response.send_message("Done")

im confused, im wanting to check if a channel id is in channels.json and if it isnt in it then it will add the id of "channel" to the file. the command doesnt respond and it gives me an error saying 'list' object has no attribute 'json'

[shrewd apex]

"channels.json"

ur second with open has channels.json

[fallow mauve]

yes

[shrewd apex]

also u shouldnt use json as a db

[fallow mauve]

its just a simple list of channels, i know that json isnt great but i havent coded in years so im not gonna jump right into sqlite yet

i will soon but im not ready for it atm

[hard nest]

hey guys, i have a python bot that also uses selenium to webscrape, but i now have no idea how i can host it, as most hosting things probably wont support it. Anyone have any ideas? i dont want to host it locally

[shrewd apex]

not sqlite either thats synchronous u need an asynchronous storage facility

[fallow mauve]

such as

[shrewd apex]

aiosqlite asyncpg aiomysql (sql flavors), motor (mongodb), aioredis (redis)

[shrewd apex]

u need a vm or u can also do it without a vm using headless option for selenium

any host is fine ig

[hard nest]

wdym headless option

[shrewd apex]

headless dosent open the browser gui when scraping

[hard nest]

im kinda not that advanced with it

[hard nest]

ohhhh

u have an example?

[shrewd apex]

lemme look at the docs been some time since i have played with selenium iirc there is a class called ChromeOptions

[hard nest]

cool ty

[shrewd apex]

options = ChromeOptions()
options.headless = True
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get('http://selenium.dev')
driver.quit()

also fyi this channel is for discord bots not (bots in general) afaik so next time probably use the #1035199133436354600

[hard nest]

yeah its just that it is a discord bot so i thought that might be why

but ty, lemme try it

wait where do i define chrome options

wait i got it dw, ty

[azure tulip]

!d discord.Guild.icon

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.icon

Returns the guild’s icon asset, if available.

[azure tulip]

i use disnake

[final iron]

Same thing

disnake is a fork of discord.py

[cloud dawn]

Oh fr..? Why

[hushed galleon]

iunno, but at least it's not going to trip people over anymore

[cloud dawn]

Seems like they just wanted to test if it was plausable.

[hushed galleon]

the earliest mention i found in their server was #697489244649816084 message which is over a year ago, so i don't really think it counts as a test anymore

still worth syncing to a guild if you don't want to show off your commands to the public, or if you think you might hit the 200/day ratelimit for command creations which is kinda tough to do by accident

[cloud dawn]

Thanks for the search

[ornate linden]

I'm trying to implement hashlib into a bot to hash large sums of data
In hashlib's documentation I can see that

To allow multithreading, the Python GIL is released...
How can I take advantage of that with asyncio?
Is the asyncio.to_thread method what I'm looking for?

[shrewd apex]

hasn't been yet its still in work and features are largely experimental and still limited to c api for now

[ornate linden]

it looks like that functionality has existed since at least python 2.7

If it doesn't matter whether I take advantage of the GIL release or not, can I use a ProcessPoolExecutor instead? Will a ProcessPoolExecutor work with asyncio?

[shrewd apex]

is hashlib blocking?

[ornate linden]

afaik, yeah

[shrewd apex]

then u need to use run_in_executor along with that

[ornate linden]

ah reading more of the asyncio docs,

Note
Due to the GIL, asyncio.to_thread() can typically only be used to make IO-bound functions non-blocking. However, for extension modules that release the GIL or alternative Python implementations that don’t have one, asyncio.to_thread() can also be used for CPU-bound functions.
So the answer is maybe, but then I'm still limited to single-core

[shrewd apex]

u need run_in_executor it's a method for bot.loop object it runs the blocking code in another thread

[ornate linden]

is that different than the asyncio run_in_executor?

[ocean dragon]

class GeneratorView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.stopped: bool = False

    @discord.ui.button(label="Stop", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def stop_button(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
        self.stopped = True
        self.stop()

message = await interaction.original_response()
await message.edit(view=GeneratorView())
async with message.channel.typing():
    async for content in generator:
        if view.stopped:
            break
        else:
            ...

any way to do this?

[shrewd apex]

no its the same

[ocean dragon]

have a stop button in a view to stop a generator from generating response

[ornate linden]

you can make the GeneratorView edit itself if that helps

[shrewd apex]

just use the stopped attribute of the view?

a better or cleaner way might be to edit the wait method in the view

[hushed galleon]

yeah, given that it releases the GIL, hashlib should run in parallel if you use asyncio.to_thread() or the lower-level loop.run_in_executor(None, ...)

[ocean dragon]

wym edit method

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ui.View.wait

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.wait

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

Waits until the view has finished interacting.

A view is considered finished when [`stop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View.stop) is called or it times out.

[shrewd apex]

tbh u can probably just use a while loop with the stopped attribute of the view

[ocean dragon]

it doesnt work, the generator just runs until end

[ornate linden]

cool, thanks
would it be worth it to try to implement a ProcessPoolExecutor anyways in order to make things multi-core? theoretically the bot will need to be processing multiple hashes at once
