Whatever.

brazen raft
#

What errors do you get

glad cradle
#

the one that is called "Windows installer - 64-bit"

#

you still need to install the packages

#

and select the new python version in Vs code

ebon ocean
midnight oracle
ebon ocean
#

Says it already installed.

did you select the add to PATH option when installing python 3.12?

ebon ocean
#

Or was i not supposed to hit install button?

guess can download it again and redo it

glad cradle

take a screenshot at the corner and let me see

That's what comes up.

ebon ocean
glad cradle
#

do this then

ctrl + shift + p
type Python select interpreter and press enter
select python 3.12

#

if python 3.12 is not there you need to add python to PATH following the guide that you sent

ebon ocean
#

It gave me error message, sigh that extremely hard guide

#

I'm guessing the one that says 3.12 64 bit is the one?

I am still stuck with the attribute error that I got few hours ago so might need help with that again.

    @tasks.loop(minutes= 10)
    async def timezone_update(self):
         guild = self.client.get_guild(<ID HERE>)
         argentina = guild.get_channel(<ID HERE>)
         us_central = guild.get_channel(<ID HERE>)
         us_pacific = guild.get_channel(<ID HERE>)
         asia = guild.get_channel(<ID HERE>)

the said error:

#

I tried doing it with my old code without cogs and it works there but doesn't loop

#

one above is the new one using cogs for timezone.

ebon ocean
#

PS: I'm getting somewhere.

#

This as far as I got

#

Taken from website

#

Step 4: Add Python Path to User Environmental Variables
There will be two categories namely β€œUser” and β€œSystem”, we have to add it in Users, click on New button in the User section. Now, add a Variable Name and Path which we copied previously and click OK. That’s it, DONE!

glad cradle
#

refresh vscode too

glad cradle
#

the guild is not cached

woeful thistle
#

The intents I am using is discord.Intents().all()

glad cradle
#

you can do

guild = self.client.get_guild(...) or await self.client.fetch_guild(...)
woeful thistle
#

Oh, that actually work! I got an error with the other variables but also used the same code to fetch the other channels and now they work!

#

Now it's only the matter of whether the loop works 😭

glad cradle
ebon ocean
#

@glad cradle I finally finished that guide and it did absolutely nothing

I see. I am no health professional and don't know what the conversation there was, but incontrollable fits of rage are never a good sign. You should probably consult a medical professional?

I've always had positive interactions in discord.py so I can't relate to your anger either. Good server

wicked cairn

That's quite wrong, there are countless of helpful people over there, the difference is, they won't spoonfeed but try to show you a path towards the solution.
It's basically just assistance in thinking. (besides, one of the rules over there states you are supposed to have a basic understanding of Python, so, that's on you, it's not a beginner lib)

ebon ocean
#

Yes FU-K THOSE PIECES OF S-IT who truely want to learn! It's like people who want to learn math and they try and learn it, and we say FU-K YOU! Like come on, LMAO, you should already know most of all the math even though that is really arbitrary to really know what is considered basic or not. You should know the quadratic formula. Instead of just telling you the quadratic formula, will tell you to use this axΒ²+bx+c=0 and solve for x to get the quadratic formula. I mean, I DID PROVIDE you the information you need to. Not my fault if you're an idiot who can't figure out how to solve for x. That's a "basic" level of math! I'm so f--king superior and better than you and look down upon you for the crime of trying to learn something! Sarcasm.

I’ve never created a discord bot In py but Ima learn now, what’s the best way to create a currency system and give a different amount of /daily currency based on role? Then when they run a / command it charges one credit and runs main.py ?

hushed galleon
# obsidian hill I’ve never created a discord bot In py but Ima learn now, what’s the best way to...

there's two main topics to tackle at once:

  • For the currency system, you'll want to use a database so that you can permanently store each member's currency. SQLite's a good start, since its file-based, supports concurrent reads/writes, and is well suited for organizing data from discord (users, guilds, members, etc.). Python has a built-in sqlite3 module so it's easy to use in most projects.
  • discord.py's a popular library for writing discord bots, where your script connects to discord to receive real-time events and make API requests. Commands are defined as functions, and dpy will automatically call them for you when someone wants to use your command.
    That's a general overview of it, but when you get into it you'll deal with more specific details like learning SQL, defining a command tree, dealing with async/await syntax, etc.
drifting arrow
#

:D

#

Why use SQLITE?! just store everything in a txt file.

#

Wait no. heheheh individual txt files for each user 😎

obsidian hill
drifting arrow
#

Take it a step further.
Folder named "database"
subfolders for each individual user
txt files named after each column/data thing you need to monitor.
each file holds a single entry

obsidian hill
#

I can figure out the currency part, but my current code generates a tiktok style video. And I need it to generate when they purchase, how would I make the command run main.py and then dm the user the output?

hushed galleon
#

if it helps, here's a glimpse of what dpy code looks like: ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

Ask discord to send us non-privileged events,

like when the bot joins a guild or a message is sent

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="?", intents=intents)

Define a slash command named /daily:

@bot.tree.command()
async def daily(interaction: discord.Interaction):
money = 500
await interaction.response.send_message(f"You received your daily reward of {money}!")

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
# After the bot first logs in, tell discord about our slash commands:
await bot.tree.sync()

bot.run("your.token.here")```

drifting arrow
#

So basic

hushed galleon
obsidian hill
#

So would it be easier to integrate the bot into my main.py instead?

#

Just make the video generating a function

hushed galleon
#

kind of, usually your main.py script would be the one hosting your bot

#

yeah, once its in a function you can call that in your command every time someone uses it

drifting arrow
#

It's usually encouraged to do the cogs system

obsidian hill
#

Only problem is it doesn’t generate everything in one file it goes all over with all kinds of utils and idk if that’s a problem

#

I’ll try to do it

#

I wish I could do the bot in js I’d already be done 😭

drifting arrow
#

All a command is doing is running the code you tell it to run. You don't need to limit yourself to just that function. if you know it'll take a few moments to finish you can defer the response

obsidian hill
#

But my ass gotta be special and learn py πŸ’€

drifting arrow
#

You can do it in js..

#

discordjs

obsidian hill
#

I can do the bot in js and run a python script on cmd?

drifting arrow
#

literally anything you can do in python you can do in js

obsidian hill
#

Ik but that would mean converting my entire video generator into js

#

So if I were to do it in js I’d need to run a python script in a js cmd

hushed galleon
#

theoretically your node.js discord bot could run your python script on demand in a subprocess

drifting arrow
#

o7 you absolute legend

obsidian hill
#

Hm alr

hushed galleon
drifting arrow
#

My last ventures into html/css/js ended resulting in a website that looks like its from the 90s lol

obsidian hill
#

I might just hop my ass over on fiverr so I can focus on the course part of it and let someone else do the bot πŸ’€

drifting arrow
#

Alright. pythons not that hard, but alright.

obsidian hill
#

Welll

#

Do I reallllllllyyyyyy wanna learn it just for a discord bot????

#

Or throw my not so hard earned money at it and hope it works

drifting arrow
#

Majority of programming is mostly about learning the syntax and the various methods to achieve a task. Like all those loops and shit.

Once you understand that, you can easily transition from language to language and adjust to the syntax.

Like once you learn that SQL is written the same in most popular languages, your only challenge becomes learning the syntax as it varies slightly.

drifting arrow
obsidian hill
#

Someone should make the Minecraft language skript a real thing

#

That might just be typescript tho idk πŸ’€

How do I turn off the visibility of a channel trough code?

#

I'm using the create_text_channel()

upbeat otter
#

You can't. It's done from the client side

midnight oracle
#

but it says that the "visible" argument doesn't exist

midnight oracle
upbeat otter
#

Do you want it to be a private channel?

midnight oracle
upbeat otter
#

Then pass the roles which can access it

#

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

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

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

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

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

Note

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

#

gotcha, thanks :D

There is an overwrites kwarg you can set. It is detailed within the docs

you can use commands.Bot instead of commands.bot.Bot because in the commands folder, it has an __init__.py which is basically a setup file, that says py from bot import *

yes, because __init__.py is used for installing libraries and modules and whatnot

#

wdym?

do you know about classes?

#

thats functions

#

i asked if you know classes

#

loads more

#

ok, how do you make a class

#

like i said, much more

#

i asked, do you know what a class is?

#

have you seen this before? py class SomeClass: def some_func(self): something = ... return something

#

i use them to centralise data, but you can do some cool stuff like inheritance

#

i feel like you need to be more specific

# 
# this is a function
def func():
    return 5

class A:
    # this is a method
    def func(self):
        return 5

# both use def
#

if you have a method, call it a method

#

if you have a function, call it a function

#

clarity is key prettythumbsup

whats your question

also use "function" and "method" to define what you mean. both use def which creates ambiguity for what you generally mean

where are you from btw

??

viscid hornet

thats a command

viscid hornet

nobody said that 😭

#

alr hold on

#

thats fine

#

use that instead

#

i’ll delete the other one

shrewd apex
#

i have told u before also lol thats just a log

#

its not an error

#

wdym solve it? that will always print

#

its not an issue

#

its a message or information

#

yes

#

how is that an error

#

thats for the 443 ssl error

#

lmao

#

when you have no idea what you are doing

#

its not a bot issue

#

maybe try switching to your mobile hotspot

#

??

#

sure

#

why not

#

maybe also rebuild discord while we are at it

# upbeat otter Minecraft uses java which is comparatively harder to learn

Nah, theres a plugin called skript which most people use. It allows for coding for shi like this ```on first join:

command /start:
trigger:
give player wooden pickaxe named "<##BB8054>&lStarter Pickaxe" with lore "&f" and "&fα΄‘α΄€Κ€α΄˜ ᴛᴏ α΄›Κœα΄‡ &e&l/ᴍΙͺɴᴇ&f ᴛᴏ ɒᴇᴛ" and "&fΚ€α΄‡κœ±α΄α΄œΚ€α΄„α΄‡κœ±" and "&f" and "&f&cꜱʜΙͺκœ°α΄› &f+ &cΚ€ α΄„ΚŸΙͺα΄„α΄‹&f ᴛᴏ" and "&fα΄œα΄˜Ι’Κ€α΄€α΄…α΄‡" and "&f" and "&7&lCOMMON" with all flags hidden

To make it online

#

Pay

#

There are free hosting providers too

viscid hornet

Otherwise blob storage is the way to go

# Run the bot with your token

This is to build simple embed

upbeat otter
#

You cant learn to use dpy just by looking at code you don't even understand

dawn lake
#

You should try it with your bot

upbeat otter
#

What problem

dawn lake
#

You have to know python then d.py to make stuffs

obsidian hill
#

Im trying python for the first time. If I define a function in main.py It can be called in bot.py right? πŸ’€

Or do I gotta recall it

upbeat otter

Recall it

#

import < that func >

upbeat otter

You can't do that

Maybe

Does anyone know if it is possible (if yes then how) to put multiple attachements (images) inside of 1 embed?

#

using the embed.set_image() func

quick gust
#

you can't set more than one I'm pretty sure

slate swan
#

I feel like there was indeed a way but can't remember it

#

@restive perch any ideas, magic box? pithink

upbeat otter
slate swan
#

ah man

restive perch
upbeat otter
#

there is a reason it is named image and not images

restive perch
#

Well technically you can do that

#

But thats a split view

#

with max 4 images

slate swan
#

that would be enough images

upbeat otter
#

yeah but they're pretty small then 😭

slate swan
#

do you know how to implement that?

restive perch
#

Nah, they arent shown properly. Like it already does if you send 4 attachments in chat

#

They get big if you click on them

# 
# For this to work correctly, both embeds need the same `url` in the constructor. The URLs in `set_image` can be different.
embed = discord.Embed(url="some custom url")
embed.set_image(url="image 1")
embed2 = embed.copy()
embed2.set_image(url="image 2")
await send(embeds=[embed, embed2])

# Better code was suggested by Maya [455289384187592704]
slate swan
#

wouldn't that just send 2 separate embeds?

#

time to do some testings

#

nevermind, it could work after reading the docs

hushed galleon
#

when you open the bot tab in the developer portal, you can scroll down to see the privileged intents that you have to enable before your code can use them

image.png
#

as per the above text, you don't have to worry about verification for small bots

upbeat otter
#

but what did you actually achieve

#

you don't know python and you just copy pasted the code and you understand none of it. not being rude but it's of no use

would it be like ```from main import make_final_video, main

junior falcon
viscid hornet
#

its in a feedback loop

#

dont use events, use commands (as a beginner)

#

on_message is called when a message gets sent, but after a message is sent, the bot also sends a message, creating an endless loop

#

no thats not related to dpy

#

it says the basics about how coroutines work by the looks of it. nothing to do with dpy

#

yes

#

lemme show two examples rq

quick gust
viscid hornet
#

yes

#

πŸ‘

# 
# this is an event
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):

# this is a command
@bot.command()
async def thumbs_up(ctx):
    await ctx.message.add_reaction('πŸ‘')```
quick gust
#

once you learn them, dpy is easy

viscid hornet
#

can you rephrase? im not getting your question.
also use the terms "function" and "method"

#

nope. you just made a feedback loop because its responding to itself

#

what language is "details and roots"?

#

no like the language you speak

quick gust
#

no you cannot

viscid hornet
#

nope

#

you're adding a reaction, so you need an emoji

does the python bot even run dpy?

yours is correct

but @wide plaza isn't

yes

quick gust

nope, a function has a unique name

they didn't forget anything

viscid hornet

cool prettythumbsup

quick gust

this is almost correct, you just need to change the function name of the command

which is after async def

viscid hornet
#

no

#

they're two different things

because they are?

you can do that but its not a good practice.

is it too difficult to learn python basics first and then use discord.py?

you're not hearing me. they are:

quick gust

@wide plaza ill just say its difficult to teach basic python, espceially in a #discord-bots channel. You should really consider learning python first

viscid hornet

learn python first, learn the terminology so communicating your problems is easier, and then learn dpy

otherwise its hell trying to learn dpy

viscid hornet
#

yes. quite important

#

i dont send 1000 lines of code and expect you to find one line. where'd you get that from? farm_vspongesquint

hushed galleon
#

for point 3, the differences are due to how dpy implemented their decorators, but knowing the technical details about it isn't too important

limpid apex
#

Would this work for a button?

@bot.command(name="test_buttons")
async def test_buttons(ctx):
  view = discord.ui.View()
  style = discord.ButtonStyle.green
  embed = discord.Embed(title="Button Testing", description="This is a test")
  item = discord.ui.Button(style=style, label="Test")
  view.add_item(item=item)
  await ctx.send("Test", view=view)
#

Cuz im hella new to buttons

naive briar
#

Sure

limpid apex
#

oh fr?

naive briar
#

You'd need a callback to make the button remotely useful though

limpid apex
viscid hornet
limpid apex
viscid hornet
# limpid apex I see

like this, if you want an example: ```py
class MyButton(ui.Button):
def init(self):
super().init(your_qualities)

async def callback(self, interaction: ...):
    # whatever you want to happen when the button
    # gets clicked. uses interaction```
limpid apex
brazen raft
#
  1. Because otherwise the name of the function will reference the lastly defined function and the former definitions would lose reference. On another note, discord.py registers async def on_message functions decorated with event as event handlers for the event of newly received messages.
  2. Can, but this isn't meaningful in the same way. What you have will error because the name ctx is not a thing in the.. context of the command function.
  3. It's an arbitrary choice on two accounts
glad cradle

viscid hornet
# limpid apex Okay! Thank you, I appreciate it

so you could have a green button that says "Click Me!" and when you click it, it responds saying "You clicked me!": ```py
class MyButton(ui.Button):
def init(self):
super().init(
label = "Click me!",
style = ButtonStyle.green
)

async def callback(self, interaction: ...):
    await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked me!", ephemeral = True) # ephemerals make it so only you can see the message```

This is my function from main.py but when this is called I need to send a dm to the user who ran the command in bot.py, how can I do this?
make_final_video(number_of_comments, length, reddit_object, bg_config)

dusk dagger
obsidian hill
#

The function is in main.py, I just dont know how I can get the user ID used in the function main.py

#

whats the best way to do that?

#

the main() function starts the video generation then the make_final_video(number_of_comments, length, reddit_object, bg_config) function ends it

sick birch
#

your functions should have one responsibility, as a matter of good design principle

#

one would not expect a function named "make_final_video` to send a discord DM

obsidian hill
#

main just generates everything from the config then the other function starts the generation

#

once the generation is finished I need to dm the user the result

limpid apex
#

If I were to use a ephemeral to message a user thats not the command user, is that possible?

quick gust
#

Nope

limpid apex

dang ity

is there any way to send a 1-sided message to a user?

other than DMs

no

thats as close to your goal as i can think of

just DMs them, which is somewhat more annoying

oh it does

so how would I make a variable for that assigned to each user id?

idk if a variable or a db would be best

Im assuming a ram variable wouldnt be good since those clear on restart

viscid hornet
#

thats pretty easy

obsidian hill
#

I just need a way to give, store, and take a currency from people

viscid hornet
obsidian hill
#

Nah I dont need a wallet and bank just need tokens

viscid hornet

make user_id either a PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE integer

yes store as in save it

ohh okk

Yea I just need to know how to add remove and save currency

viscid hornet

make a seperate file and run it once? Run it on bot startup?

sqlite3

Source code: Lib/sqlite3/

SQLite is a C library that provides a lightweight disk-based database that doesn’t require a separate server process and allows accessing the database using a nonstandard variant of the SQL query language. Some applications can use SQLite for internal data storage. It’s also possible to prototype an application using SQLite and then port the code to a larger database such as PostgreSQL or Oracle.

The sqlite3 module was written by Gerhard HΓ€ring. It provides an SQL interface compliant with the DB-API 2.0 specification described by PEP 249, and requires SQLite 3.7.15 or newer.

This document includes four main sections:

viscid hornet
#

let them learn sqlite first and then they can move onto asqlite

#

one step after the other, otherwise they'll fall over shrug

isnt sql a language and sqlite a software?

limpid apex
# unkempt canyon 

cursor.execute(
    "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS data (user_id INTEGER, coins INTEGER)")
connection.commit()

This will work too

limpid apex
slate swan
#

pretty sure sqlite was a software for database management

#

I dunno pithink

obsidian hill
limpid apex
#

Try this:


connection = sqlite3.connect("database2.sqlite")
print(connection.total_changes)
cursor = connection.cursor()

cursor.execute(
    "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS data (user_id INTEGER, coins INTEGER)")
connection.commit()
#

U needa define cursor

This works just fine lol

Thats prob why lol

obsidian hill
#

Alr. now how to I add things to it? I needa import userid and tokens

viscid hornet
limpid apex
#

like how to use bot commands, like !help

obsidian hill
viscid hornet
limpid apex
#

Yea

viscid hornet
#

nope

limpid apex
#

If the prefix is "!", then doing !help would trigger the help command

viscid hornet
#

!help ⬅️ always has a prefix

obsidian hill
slate swan
#

Prefix here is just something that you will need to put before the command name for it to execute

#

in this case !command_name

viscid hornet
obsidian hill
limpid apex
#

@wide plaza If for example you have "-" as the prefix, then -help would be the command

#

instead of !help

#

yes, although / is a slash command

slate swan
#

without nothing, it should work, ? and ! aswell

limpid apex
#

yes

obsidian hill
limpid apex
#

Although, nothing is quite annoying to work with

limpid apex
slate swan
#

/ should work probably too but there are slash commands for that and im unsure if something could error because of that

obsidian hill
#

yea

#

I just gotta import data to the userid and tokens now

slate swan
#

but you could try it

limpid apex
#

creating one is:

cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXSISTS <name> (<var> <type>)
#

true

#

For an embed

obsidian hill
limpid apex
#

No, that you customize in dev portal

most of the stuff are still related to sql and databases

viscid hornet

little bobby tables will explain why

obsidian hill
#

ohh those thingys

viscid hornet
#

you didnt define description with anything

#

and thats not an embed description

obsidian hill
#

so like cursor.execute(f"INSERT INTO data WHERE user_id = userid") ?

viscid hornet
#

and please for the love of god, dont call your .Bot client 😭

viscid hornet
obsidian hill
#

damn

slate swan
viscid hornet
obsidian hill
#

ye

slate swan
#

you would most likely go for the second one

slate swan
#

also more functionality

dusk dagger
#

It also inherits Client so no reason not to use it

slate swan
#

yep

#

yeah you need to import commands from d.py's extensions

from discord.ext import commands
#

whoopsies

#

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.ext.commands.Bot 

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin) to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree) and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.
slate swan
#

yep

dusk dagger
#

the description is just an optional text you can put on the default help command

#

nah it’s just a general description that you can show on the default help command

slate swan
#

Yeah those are intents

sick birch
#

sort of

slate swan
#

I would just describe intents as stuff that your bot can see/do if something is enabled

#

you need to pass your intents as an keyword argument to the Bot class, also yeah thats how you set intents, for example

intents = discord.Intents()
intents.emojis = True
#

it means that the intents defined by you should be passed to your Bot class as an keyword argument intents

obsidian hill
#

Ok Ima come back to my economy system later, how do I add a / command?

#

I dont think thats how that works

#

also how do you do a prefix var is it like if message.content.startswith(command_prefix + 'test'): ?

#

what docs u reading?

viscid hornet
#

whys this mf reading the intents docs 😭

#

you're just controlling what you want your bot to be checking

#

ngl, .typing i havent seen

#

!d discord.Intents.typing

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.Intents.typing

Whether guild and direct message typing related events are enabled.

This is a shortcut to set or get both guild_typing and dm_typing.

This corresponds to the following events:

β€’ on_typing() (both guilds and DMs)

This does not correspond to any attributes or classes in the library in terms of cache.

viscid hornet
#

i mean, there you go

#

you can customise it further

#

those are optional ones

obsidian hill
#

so how do I import the function main() from main.py so I can call it in bot.py?

#

import main from main?

#

wait no

#

from main import main maybe?

#

nope

#

it didnt work

#

from ..main import main gave this Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\liama\Downloads\folder\code\bot\bot.py", line 2, in <module> from ..main import main ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package

#

the bot is in bot/main.py and im importing from ../main.py

#

so I need the 2 dots since importing from outside the bot folder

#

My files are like this

β”‚
β”œβ”€β”€ main.py
└── bot/
    └── bot.py
#

SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2-3: truncated \UXXXXXXXX escape wtf

viscid hornet
#

last two aren’t necessarily related

obsidian hill
#

from ..main import main

viscid hornet
#

yeah pretty much

obsidian hill
# 
    from ..main import main
ImportError: attempted relative import with no known parent package```
