[jaunty cape]

this in the main Python file?

Oh in that case just await your fricking add_cog function

[fast osprey]

(you can also have external files that aren't extensions)

[jaunty cape]

Actually?

[fast osprey]

Yeah basic python rules apply. You could very well declare a class (a cog) in another file and import it just as normal. Extensions are purely optional

[wispy falcon]

doesnt work

[fast osprey]

Will need more detail than "doesn't work"

what you tried, what happened

[wispy falcon]

i added await but the bot still doesnt send any message

[fast osprey]

Show your code now

Specifically where you are adding the cog

[earnest ginkgo]

I don't want to interrupt the current conversation, could someone let me know when they're free to help please

[jaunty cape]

don't ask to ask

[earnest ginkgo]

what do you mean?

[jaunty cape]

you're asking to ask right now

you have to ask for the solution to your problem directly

i shouldn't even need to explain what i mean

[earnest ginkgo]

I will, I just don't want to take the attention away from someone else

[jaunty cape]

can you just ask really quickly

[earnest ginkgo]

alright then

[jaunty cape]

you see this? we wouldn't be having that conversation if you just asked

yeah i don't know anything about aiohttp

Solstice can most likely help

[jaunty cape]

actually

can you send the code around line 57

[jaunty cape]

yo. you have to do that outside of your Cog

[wispy falcon]

ik but that doesnt work too

[earnest ginkgo]

i restructured the code to try and fix the problem, and it didn't work so i put it back. so the (exact same) error is now line 48, so i'll send the function there

[jaunty cape]

bro you can just say "it doesn't work" and expect people to

...

[earnest ginkgo]

that's it

[wispy falcon]

its what happens if i add it outside of my cog

[jaunty cape]

you have to do that in a function, preferably setup_hook in the main python script

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't be adding the cog...inside of itself

[wispy falcon]

ik

i tried adding it outside

[jaunty cape]

what is the request parameter doing there?

[wispy falcon]

but it just says this if i add it outside of it

[jaunty cape]

bro i literally just told you that you can only use add_cog in an async function

can you just add that line to the setup_hook function

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[earnest ginkgo]

the thing I'm trying to do that doesn't work is this. a thread is running a discord.py bot, the main thread is running an aiohttp server. when a http request is sent to the server, it calls the send function with the relevant request object. it tries to send a message and then... blows up for no good reason.

[unkempt canyon]

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, ...)```
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\.

[fast osprey]

I strongly recommend you don't colocate these things in the same python process

[jaunty cape]

sorry i don't know anything about multi-threading

[earnest ginkgo]

how else is the server going to communicate with the bot? through files? lol

[jaunty cape]

i still do really hacky code such as using Optional params so i don't have to do error handling 💀

[earnest ginkgo]

my friend wanted a website that can control their discord bot. i don't see how else i'm supposed to link the two without having them be in the same process

it's not like i can communicate between processes over a local network because well... the entire obstacle here is that the discord process doesn't have a web server

it can be janky, i just want to get around this error

[fast osprey]

They do not have to be in the same process to communicate. This is the whole idea behind IPC

[earnest ginkgo]

what's IPC

[fast osprey]

Interprocess communication

[earnest ginkgo]

that's way beyond anything i'm capable of

i code in python lol

[fast osprey]

You can do IPC in python. It's just a concept

just like lists, or functions

[earnest ginkgo]

eh, maybe you can

[fast osprey]

So what is the web server doing, what is the bot doing, and what do they share

[wispy falcon]

ty works

[earnest ginkgo]

all I am trying to do is just make a demo script

web socket receives request, makes bot do something

[jaunty cape]

make sure it has the @bot.event decorator

👍

[wispy falcon]

alr

[fast osprey]

You don't even need to run a gateway bot to do that then

[earnest ginkgo]

wydm

[fast osprey]

Your web server can just do it

hit the discord api

[earnest ginkgo]

can't

I need to build something on top of an already existing discord.py bot

[fast osprey]

What about what you're trying to accomplish necessitates that?

[jaunty cape]

I need this guy's English skills

[earnest ginkgo]

because that is the end goal

[fast osprey]

The end goal is to receive request, do something. It going through a discord.py bot is an implementation detail, not a goal

You can do that if you really want to, though it should be through IPC

[earnest ginkgo]

long-term goal: friend has a big discord.py bot that they want to build a web panel for
short-term goal: receive a request and then do something with discord.py as a proof of concept

[sick birch]

can you give a specific example of "do something"?

[earnest ginkgo]

_ _

[sick birch]

web panels are common, but i find that for a lot of cases you don't actually need a gateway connection (and discord.py, by extension)

you can send messages without discord.py, relatively trivially

[fast osprey]

Yeah that could very quickly be done with a webhook

[earnest ginkgo]

why is it your goal to tell me i'm a liar instead of actually helping me

[sick birch]

i'm assuming you're looking for something like a texbox and a button on a webpage that sends a message via the bot

[sick birch]

none of us are saying you're a liar, we are gathering more information to provide you help and alternatives in the best way

in software development there's usually more than one way to go about doing something and the context and situation call for different solutions that may be more optimal than others

[jaunty cape]

can you give me the black formatter club house role

[sick birch]

Huh?

[jaunty cape]

nvm i didn't say that

[sick birch]

[jaunty cape]

they're just saying that the way you're trying to do it isn't necessary and there's other ways to do it

[fast osprey]

There is a pretty common phenomenon called the XY problem, where folks believe that the help they need is implementing the solution already in their head (X) rather than questioning it and taking a different approach entirely to the core goal (Y). To accomplish the material behavior you described, in order of what I'd recommend:

1. Have the webserver internally do as much as it can, including communicating with the discord API
2. If a gateway discord.py bot must be involved, have the webserver minimally communicate with it through some form of IPC and run these in separate processes
3. Host both of these in the same process, where you will incur avoidable instabilities and maintenance problems. This would be done by attaching an asyncio-friendly web framework to the same asyncio event loop

[earnest ginkgo]

surely you should at least respect someone's wishes and help them with X, given they probably have their own reasons for doing so, rather than patronise them by assuming they have no idea what they're talking about and must be an idiot who actually means Y

[jaunty cape]

https://xyproblem.info/

[jaunty cape]

adding your own negative connotation to things, classical (i'm not allowed to say this)

[fast osprey]

Nobody said you have no idea what you're talking about. Us suggesting other things isn't that

People are wrong all the time and it's not a slight on their character. I'm in 11 years of industry experience and I get other solutions suggested to me all the time

[jaunty cape]

oh

no wonder this guy is so good at reading documentation

[fast osprey]

Option 3 is how you'd do what you proposed, you will still need to invest time in learning and getting this to work to reach what's ultimately an antipattern

[slim bloom]

Why when I try to put the status of my bot online on Mobile it doesn't work?: ```py

source_ = source(discord.gateway.DiscordWebSocket.identify)
patched = re.sub(
r'(['"]$browser['"]:\s?['"

source_ = source(discord.gateway.DiscordWebSocket.identify)
patched = re.sub(
    r'([\'"]\$browser[\'"]:\s?[\'"]).+([\'"])',
    r"\1Discord Android\2",
    source_
)

loc = {}
exec(compile(ast.parse(patched), "<string>", "exec"), discord.gateway.__dict__, loc)

discord.gateway.DiscordWebSocket.identify = loc["identify"]```

@fast osprey

[slate swan]

Can I please get a link to a tutorial on how to get started making Discord Bots? For complete beginners. Also for discord bots do I need to learn about async and concurrency?

[merry cliff]

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

@slate swan ^

[slate swan]

Thanks!

[mild token]

When i group commands it don't show the sub command in server setting integration

It only shows the parent command is there any way to fix it?

Without removing the group

I want to lock commands with different roles

Another question I would like to ask is there any event which tells when the invite count increases?

[fast osprey]

Command groups are the level of permissioning. If you want to permission commands differently, they shouldn't be in the same group

[normal lava]

I am thinking to build a bot any one want to collab with me ?

[glad cradle]

you just need a couple of eyes for that

[mild token]

Got it

[marble rampart]

💀

[slate swan]

what is it about ?

[glad marsh]

when uploading to a hosting server should i upload the py cache files?

or can i delete those?

[slate swan]

pycache can be deleted, it's cache as the name suggests

[opal vortex]

many people prefer uploading pyc inside of zip file to your application though when doing to a server

(with optimizations)

as long as said zip file is properly appended to sys.path.

[finite salmon]

I think the pycache will be rebuilt if the server has a different os than local machines os

[fast osprey]

So you somehow know how long it will take to make but are unwilling to do it yourself

[delicate canopy]

someone know how could i make the bot add a reaction to his embed right after saying it?

[fast osprey]

Is this for the purposes of people adding to that reaction to drive logic?

[delicate canopy]

yup

[fast osprey]

I'd recommend you implement this with ui buttons rather than reactions

[delicate canopy]

hmmm

never tried using those, its easier?

[fast osprey]

IMO the code is much cleaner on the handling side

If you're using discord.py, you can go to the repo and the examples/views folder

[slate zephyr]

anyone know how to get max file size upload for discord bot attachments, i know its usually 25mb but sometimes it can be increased with boosts or something so is there a way to get actual max upload size

i do have a method if the file is too big but I prefer using discord attachments

[fast osprey]

!d discord.Guild.filesize_limit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.filesize\_limit

property filesize_limit```
The maximum number of bytes files can have when uploaded to this guild.

[primal pilot]

I have a View where the user responds with a button. I'm trying to defer and then edit the embed in the message, but it sends a new message when I try to followup? How can it be made to edit the original message?

[fast osprey]

followup is for sending new messages

you can defer (non thinking) + edit_original_response

[primal pilot]

Ah, thanks!

[primal pilot]

If I want a database (a class instance of a custom Database class) to be available to all commands, is there a standard way of doing that in discord.py?

[hushed galleon]

im not sure of a standard practice (dpy doesn't provide a DI framework), but my preference has been subclassing Bot and passing that to cogs / views / etc.

you could also write Context[Bot] and Interaction[Bot] to typehint ctx.bot and interaction.client respectively, in case you find yourself only having those available

iirc for Context you can override Bot.process_commands() and use the Bot.get_context(cls=) parameter to replace it with your own subclass, but interactions don't have an equivalent method, so it's probably best not going that route

[finite salmon]

I personally just have a separate database class and use that class everywhere instead of passing it through bot so that I can interact with the database in places where the bot instance isn't available / has to be explicitly be passed.

I have the db connection object as a class attribute and it's set up when the bot starts instead of having it as an instance attr

[primal pilot]

Hmm, ok

Sounds like it's Singletonin' time

[fast osprey]

You can just attach something to the bot instance and then just access it anywhere you have the bot (which is pretty much anything in your application)

[slate swan]

Do you people do CI / CD for your discord bots?

[primal pilot]

How is stuff attached to the bot instance?

[fast osprey]

Same way you attach anything to any object. Just something.whatever = something_else

[opal vortex]

not a good host for them LMAO

[slate swan]

I do have a question that is more so out of curiosity rather than anything else. What's a discord bot you think is very complex to build and that would be impressive if you saw someone actually implement it?

[sick birch]

Yeah, but only limiting/formatting/building docker images

no tests (:P) or CD

[slate swan]

thanks

[sick birch]

mine is deployed in kubernetes so CD would probably be a whole thing to work out

though i hear good things about argoCD...

[slate swan]

That's really interesting. Do you have any resources that talk about doing the DevOps side of stuff for discord bots? Because I don't know either of these technologies. I asked because it was something mentioned several times on some websites.

[sick birch]

it shouldn't matter. for the most part devops doesn't concern themselves too much with the actual applications

hence why we have stuff like docker that abstracts it out

[slate swan]

i need someone to help me

[sick birch]

you should ask your question then

[slate swan]

need help making custom web hook bot

[slate swan]

thanks for the insight

[exotic hazel]

Very interesting question, I would also like to hear about this

[sick birch]

i'm not sure you can entirely making just the discord bot itself very interesting, discord bots are a type of frontend (albeit a very limited one), your code that is handling it the "backend" so IMO most of the interesting and complex stuff goes on there

[slate swan]

Ok, I understand what you mean.

[exotic hazel]

So maybe having the bot interacting with databases or APIs? I'm a beginner, I don't know what other interesting backend things are there

[sick birch]

maybe. though stuff like that is super common

[mild token]

is it possible to upload image on role with memory buffer?

[hushed galleon]

sure, according to docs Role.edit(display_icon=) simply takes a bytes object

[spiral kiln]

How do i make my discord bot detect if the command was sent with a file attached?

[mild token]

u can check the content of it

[spiral kiln]

Yeah and im asking how do i that?

[sick birch]

slash command or prefix command?

[spiral kiln]

prefix

[spiral kiln]

also how do i make it download the file?

[sick birch]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message. If Intents.message_content is not enabled this will always be an empty list unless the bot is mentioned or the message is a direct message.

[sick birch]

gives you a list of attachments in a message

however i believe you can use it as a typehint argument

[hushed galleon]

^ if its discord.py, you can add a parameter typehinted with discord.Attachment to automatically retrieve it for you

[sick birch]

hmm...

i am doubting myself now

[hushed galleon]

its included in their commands guide
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#discord-attachment

[sick birch]

huh. maybe that needs a docs change?

[hushed galleon]

hmm yeah probably an oversight, wasnt included in changelog either

[spiral kiln]

i tried that but it always gives an error

[sick birch]

can you show us your code and the error that was generated?

[spiral kiln]

@client.command(pass_context = True)
async def download(ctx):
    if not str(ctx.attachments) == "[]":
        #file downloader here
        await ctx.reply('File downloaded.')
    else:
        await ctx.reply('Attach a file to download.')

[hushed galleon]

the first argument in a prefix command is a Context instance which doesn't have an .attachments attribute

if you want to check the attachments, you should access the message from the context object first with .message, then get the .attachments from that

[spiral kiln]

ctx.message.attachments ?

[hushed galleon]

yup, like: ```py
if len(ctx.message.attachments) < 1:
return await ctx.reply("Please upload an attachment!")

first_attachment = ctx.message.attachments[0]
... ```

as for downloading the data of the attachment, you can pick from .read(), .save(), and .to_file(), depending on what you intend to do with that data afterwards

[spiral kiln]

i intend to save it to a folder

[hushed galleon]

in that case .save() would be the most convenient method

!d discord.Attachment.save

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.save

await save(fp, *, seek_begin=True, use_cached=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Saves this attachment into a file\-like object.

[hushed galleon]

ergh, that doesnt mention it accepting a filepath

well you could either open a file first or pass the filepath as a string, as in: ```py
with open("my_file.png", "wb") as f:
await attachment.save(f)

or:

await attachment.save("my_file.png")```

Attachment also has a .filename attribute defined by the uploader if you want to use that

[spiral kiln]

first_attachment = ctx.message.attachments[0]
await attachment.save(/home/user/pythonprojects/bot/str(first_attachment))

would something like this work

[hushed galleon]

with proper quoting and formatting sure

using str() on an Attachment gives you the url though, not its filename

do you use vscode or pycharm? an editor with type checking and autocompletion would help a lot in writing your command

[spiral kiln]

i use vscodium so yeah

[hushed galleon]

hmm, in your case i think you can get the basedpyright extension as an alternative to microsoft's pylance

[spiral kiln]

ok ill install it

[hushed galleon]

in the settings you should be able to change the "Type Checking Mode" to basic or standard if you find the default is too aggressive/noisy

at least, it should warn you of syntax errors and undefined variables or methods

[spiral kiln]

ok thanks :D

i gtg

see you later

Thanks for the help :D

[mild token]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=edit#discord.Role.edit can it take url and updae it

[mild token]

!d discord.Role.edit if display_icon is not supported by guild will it raise error or just become None?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.edit

await edit(*, name=..., permissions=..., colour=..., color=..., hoist=..., display_icon=..., mentionable=..., position=..., reason=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the role.

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

[golden portal]

probably error discord.Forbidden?

i mean gotta try

[mild token]

Guild boost lvl 2 allow us to add emoji right if I check that before adding role_icon i think I can skip the error

Or is there any efficient way?

[golden portal]

erm, just use guild.features, if 'ROLE_ICONS' in guild.features:

[primal pilot]

Tried that, but my linter complained that bot.db isn't a thing on a Bot instance. Anyways, that's not really discord.py specific

[spare pilot]

Bro I need help

[sick birch]

the way i solve it is like so: https://github.com/vipyrsec/bot/blob/main/src/bot/bot.py#L57-L61

[spare pilot]

I was following the tutorial how to implement chatgpt in a discord not.

[unkempt canyon]

src/bot/bot.py lines 57 to 61

def __init__(
    self: Self,
    dragonfly_services: DragonflyServices,
    *args: tuple,
    **kwargs: dict,```

[sick birch]

so the linter knows the type when it's set

i think this may have been mentioned but making a global instance and importing it around will also work

[normal lava]

Lol not decided but once I find partners I will decide

[turbid condor]

think of what you are creating first rather then looking for ppl

[normal lava]

Um actually I can work in any projects like web or bots

But I m too much confused

how to remove thumbnails from Embeds

i want to remove my gif thumbnail on a condition

[finite salmon]

Edit the message and send a new embed to it which doesn't have the thumbnail

[mild token]

!d discord.Embed.set_thumbnail take the embed object and pass None to url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_thumbnail

set_thumbnail(*, url)```
Sets the thumbnail for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent\-style chaining.

Changed in version 1\.4: Passing `None` removes the thumbnail.

[mild token]

this will remove the thumbnail

[quick gust]

I mean, I inferred they meant they want to remove the thumbnail after sending the message, in which case they will need to edit it too with an embed with no thumbnail

[outer violet]

how do i send the user a dm saying that theyve been kicked from the server? i use discords built in kick command, not a custom kick command

code: https://pastes.dev/GmER1VLPFB

its in hikari-py

i tried making my code work but it says it cant dm the user

[fast osprey]

You can't dm users who don't share a server with the bot. It is also against tos to dm users who have not explicitly asked you to

[outer violet]

?

its not against tos for a discord bot to send a user a dm saying that theyve been kicked from a server lol

[fast osprey]

It is against tos to dm a user who has not given you permission to

Sorry, developer policy.

5. Do not contact users on Discord without their explicit permission.

[smoky patrol]

how can i send a local image to discord using discord.py in the embed

[heady tree]

that user should disable their dms and this rule should be removed

[fast osprey]

The onus should not be on users

[smoky patrol]

anyone can help?

[flat solstice]

Hi so I've made a command with two args, of "ticket" and "name", that lets ppl move channels but for some reason it won't work when omitting the "ticket" arg when used n the context channel

@commands.bot_has_permissions(manage_channels=True, manage_roles=True)
@checks.in_database()
@checks.is_mod()
@commands.guild_only()
@commands.command(description="Move ModMail ticket to new category.", usage="moveticket <ticket> <name>")
async def moveticket(self, ctx, ticket: discord.TextChannel=None, *, name: str):
    ticket = ticket or ctx.channel

    if checks.is_modmail_channel2(self.bot, ticket) is False:
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="That channel is not a ModMail ticket.",colour=self.bot.error_colour,))
        return

    async with self.bot.pool.acquire() as conn:
        res = await conn.fetchrow("SELECT category FROM categories WHERE name=$1 AND guild=$2", name, ctx.guild.id)
        if res is None:
            await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="The name provoded doesn't match any ModMail category.",colour=self.bot.error_colour,))
            return
        
    category = ctx.guild.get_channel(res["category"])
    try:
        old_category = ticket.category
        await ticket.edit(reason = f"{ctx.author} moved ticket {ticket.name} from {old_category.name} to {category.name}",category=category,sync_permissions=True)
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="The ticket was moved successfully.", colour=self.bot.primary_colour))
    except discord.Forbidden:
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="Missing permissions to move the ticket.",colour=self.bot.error_colour,))

I thought maybe discord.TextChannel was having an issue (I am using dpy 1.5 after all) So I changed it to the following but that hasn't worked either

async def moveticket(self, ctx, ticket: int=None, *, name: str):
  try:
      ticket = ctx.guild.get_channel(ticket)
  except discord.NotFound:
      ticket = None
  
  if ticket is None:
      ticket = ctx.channel
  
  if checks.is_modmail_channel2(self.bot, ticket) is False:

i'm aware 😄 the 16 odd bots I have running on this version haven't seen any major issues.

I'm just not sure why it's not able to make the ticket arg optionable

[fast osprey]

There are literally api blackouts where it won't respond

That should concern you more than one specific command not working sometimes

Anyways, a little debugging to identify the line that's not behaving like you expect would be useful

[flat solstice]

The problem is I don't know what line specifically is causing the problem, I'm pretty sure it's something to do with how the ticket arg is being handled. It's like the code isn't able to check if ticket has a value or isn't able to set it with a new value if ctx.

[hushed galleon]

like you want it to assume the user typed in the name if the first argument isn't a valid channel? seems 1.5 still has the Optional converter, so you probably want that
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/v1.5.1/ext/commands/commands.html#typing-optional

[flat solstice]

Sort of.
If a user doesn't type in a valid channel then I want it to set the channel/ticket arg to the context channel, the channel where the command was used

[hushed galleon]

sure, Optional + your reassignment at the start of the command would be fine for that

[flat solstice]

I thought ...=None would have been making it optional?
I'll add optional to it when I'm next at the laptop and feed back on my result

[hushed galleon]

the difference is subtle, but only Optional allows the parameter to be skipped during dpy's parsing

just writing a default value doesn't have the same effect

[fast osprey]

= None does make it optional. The Optional typehint is, well, optional

[hushed galleon]

does it also let you skip that argument but still supply the other arguments following it?

[flat solstice]

I always thought it did

[fast osprey]

Step one in debugging would be to log the parameters you are getting to make sure they are what you think they are

[mild token]

is there any method which takes invite code and retrives the full invite link?

[sick birch]

i think appending the invite code after discord.gg/ will cut it

discord handles redirection

[final breach]

Hi here
im using discord audit log to log im text channel but moderator action are not showing
i did try this

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_audit_log_entry_create(self, entry: discord.AuditLogEntry):
        async def default_handler(entry):
            pass
        print(f"New audit log entry: {entry.action}")

but nothing printing out

in doc its says that i need This requires Intents.moderation to be enabled.
but when i do intents.moderation = True
i get AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'moderation'
im using intents = discord.Intents.default()
and i did try using all and none

[fast osprey]

What version of the library are you on?

[final breach]

latest

[fast osprey]

Which is?

[final breach]

2.1.0

[fast osprey]

That is not the latest (for discord.py at least)

[final breach]

Requirement already satisfied: discord.py in c:~\python\python311\lib\site-packages (2.1.0)
when i try to update

[fast osprey]

How are you trying to update?

[final breach]

pip install

[fast osprey]

What's the full line?

(fwiw, this event was introduced in dpy 2.2.0)

[final breach]

thx for ur time

[gusty patio]

can someone help me how i can make bot to give roles when someone writes one message in verifiy channel?

thanks guys

[fast osprey]

What are you verifying by doing so?

[gusty patio]

sorry for late answer

so for an example user join server and i leave one channel and its verifiy

and when he writes something there he get role

and then with role he get acess to other channels

[fast osprey]

Right, but what is that message intending to verify? That they've read rules?

There are native onboarding tools that would be more appropriate for that

[pseudo matrix]

Can anyone possibly help with this? ;-;
https://stackoverflow.com/q/78766545/17726391

Please tag me if anyone knows the answer ^^

[fast osprey]

Audio receive is unstable and not supported by the library (or discord itself)

[warm jay]

hello, I want to make a discord bot using python. I need to somehow install discord.py but can't understand how. I tried some things but nothing works, please help me with that.

[fast osprey]

What did you try and what happened?

[warm jay]

I'm watching a video and the guy there types pip install discord.py
when I try to run this command it gives me syntax error in "install"

And I have checked pip when installing python

[fast osprey]

I firstly recommend you stop watching videos, they are notoriously bad

[warm jay]

oh okay, what should I do then?

[fast osprey]

If you're running on windows, just running pip x isn't ideal since it's ambiguous what python environment this runs against if pip is even on PATH at all. It's recommended to use the py launcher for everything python related

Either that or run everything within a virtual environment (preferred but more setup)

[warm jay]

I also have visual studio

and python on it

[fast osprey]

Python is on your system. Visual studio just runs against a specific installation if you hit run

But if you type pip x, you still run into exactly what I described

[warm jay]

python launcher? what's that? I think it was installed with python but I'm not sure what that is exactly

[pseudo matrix]

So you’re saying I probably shouldn’t continue trying with multiple people? A single person works very well

[fast osprey]

py launcher. Literally just typing py on your terminal/command line

Ex py -m pip

This should be an option when installing python on windows and it's highly recommended as python environment management without it is ass

[warm jay]

it says invalid syntax under pip

[fast osprey]

It's up to you, just that you won't get support from the library maintainers and discord is within their rights to completely break it with no forewarning or promises of replacing it

[fast osprey]

What are you typing, and what exactly is the response?

[warm jay]

this time I typed py -m pip install discord.py

[fast osprey]

Where are you typing this? What happens if you just run py?

This is a command you'd put in a terminal. Not python code

[turbid condor]

Seems like IDLE to me

[warm jay]

ah, the cmd?

[fast osprey]

Yeah this looks like a python interpreter

If you want to run py, that's just done in a raw terminal

Not within the python interpreter itself

[warm jay]

yeah thank you very much, now it works

How to make bot when user join the server he must write one message in verify then he gets role

[fast osprey]

I would suggest you use the built in onboarding tools if you want users to acknowledge rules or ensure they've read something

[fast osprey]

What is leading you to believe that they aren't?

[hearty bobcat]

no i meant like when user join the server he has no rules and only one acess to verify channel and its supposed to be write something abt yourself and when he writes anything and send then he should get the role

@fast osprey can u help me to do it free? somewhere

[turbid condor]

Do you have any prior experience with discord.py or any fork?

[fast osprey]

You can do that with the onboarding tools, that's a built-in "task"

[hearty bobcat]

nope thats a problem i dont even know where to put code if u give me

i have no clue

[turbid condor]

Then that's a dead end

[hearty bobcat]

yh i guess but is there any chance that u could explain it to me?>

[turbid condor]

Well even for explaining you would need to have at least a beginner level understanding of python

[fast osprey]

I strongly suggest you start with exploring the onboarding tools already available to you

[hearty bobcat]

i could try atlesat to do it

its a thing that i make code put id channel token of bot and run the code or?

and i heard something that u need to host bot somewhere hosting ig

[turbid condor]

Yes u will need to host it

[turbid condor]

Well it's not as simple as u making it look

I'd say take a few courses of python

It's pretty easy to learn

[hearty bobcat]

how much does it cost?

[fast osprey]

Depends entirely on the resources the bot requires

[hearty bobcat]

@fast osprey @turbid condor @client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content == 'give me admin':
role = get(message.guild.roles, name='role')
await message.author.add_roles(message.author, role)

like this?

[fast osprey]

🤨

Yeah wanna explain how the onboarding tools don't accomplish this

[hearty bobcat]

yh shit is pretty hard i would appreciate if someone could make it work for me because i really need this today and i dont know how to do it

[hearty bobcat]

sure

[mild token]

what if i want to remove two roles from user and 1 role is present 1 not on user will that erorr out?

how can i know which role got removed?

from user.remove_roles?

[slate swan]

Look at the audit log or compare the member roles before and after

[slate swan]

member*

[slate swan]

Still waiting lmao

[finite salmon]

Just see which role is present in the member in the first place and you can figure out which role has been removed https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=member#discord.Member.roles

[mild token]

i know how to find roles i am trying to figure out which roles has been removed with remove_roles

[finite salmon]

Yeah, see if the roles you're trying to remove exists the member, if it exists means that role is removed, if it doesn't exist that role isn't removed from the user

Can someone tell me how to correct this code?

voice = discord.voice_client.VoiceClient
source = FFmpegPCMAudio(dir_path + sound)

player = voice.play(source)

Im trying to play an audio file.

i didnt forget

from discord import FFmpegPCMAudio

btw

i just dont know what to put before .play()

as voice

Fixed

I have a question, how do i get the voice channel that the discord bot is in?

[spiral kiln]

solved.

[spring rampart]

how can i add error handling to my bot's ban command??

like i dont understand how you could do like if the discord.Member is None but also the modreason

im so bad at python so if someone could help me i would greatly appreciate it

[fast osprey]

What is this ban command doing? Is it just a wrapper over a person manually banning a single user? If so, you should really consider not implementing this as you are actively reducing the security controls on the ban command that already exists natively

[spring rampart]

no error handling??

[fast osprey]

I'm suggesting you don't have this command at all as it is actively harmful to users

[spring rampart]

hmm

wait why is it harmful??

wdym

[fast osprey]

There is a native /ban in the client already. It has security controls that I guarantee your implementation does not

[spring rampart]

so are you saying don't do a ban command or jus don't do the error handling

[fast osprey]

I am suggesting you don't make a command that only exists to replicate what already exists but less secure

[spring rampart]

hmm i never thought about it that way

[fast osprey]

There are cases where you would have a more complex bit of logic over banning, but a direct "I run command person gets banned" is not that

[spring rampart]

ig yehh

[fast osprey]

The main reasons why you wouldn't want to do this are audit log hygiene and 2FA requirements, which bots really don't have a good way of replicating

[spring rampart]

thats true

[dense falcon]

is there a way I can sync my bot's commands to 2 or more servers without syncing globally or being rate limited?

[quick gust]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync I think this has a guild parameter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[wanton current]

remember that the command also needs to have the same guild set

[minor goblet]

Why wont my pip install discord.py work?

[gleaming inlet]

!dashmpip probably 👇

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[minor goblet]

Cool thanks

[dense falcon]

I see this, but is it possible to have more than one guild be synced to? Would running the command once for each guild not get me rate-limited?

[fast osprey]

Have you gotten rate limited?

[dense falcon]

no, i havent tried it

[fast osprey]

There is very rarely a case where you would want to sync a command to multiple guilds but not all

[dense falcon]

syncing a command globally takes a few hours doesnt it?

[fast osprey]

Nope

[sick birch]

i believe it used to but it doesn't appear to anymore

[fast osprey]

Has been a year+ since it's been noticeable

[dense falcon]

oh, something wrong with when i synced it then probably since I still havent had them show up 🤔 ill just need to do some fixes to the code then thanks

[fast osprey]

Two very important debugging tools:

• sync() returns the list of commands that got synced
• the integrations tab on a server will definitively tell you what commands are on a server, sometimes your client will lie

[dense falcon]

oh awesome thanks

So I fixed the sync and the commands show in the Integrations tab; do I need to wait longer to see them in chat? they dont show up with autocomplete

[fast osprey]

Refresh your discord client (ctrl + r)

[dense falcon]

tyyyy

[minor goblet]

Still not liking pip.

[gleaming inlet]

can't see what the problem is if you don't share the exact actual error message

[gleaming inlet]

that line is not supposed to be in your code. You're supposed to run that in your terminal. Outside of the code

[minor goblet]

Oh... sorry just getting started

thank you

Fixed

All raw event uses caching?

[fast osprey]

The opposite, the whole idea of raw events is that they're independent of the cache and just give you the raw payload

[glad marsh]

I was wondering how I can make a check to see if a channel is a ticket channel

[sick birch]

I'm not sure what you define as a "ticket channel" but you can implement checks: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#checks

[glad marsh]

What API wrapper do you recommend?

[sick birch]

probably discord.py, just because it's got the most community support so it's easy to find help if you need it. you're free to use something else that suits your project though

[snow coral]

Whats wrong with this? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/GN4A

[sick birch]

what makes you say something is wrong

[snow coral]

When I’m using the limit parameter it’s responding with a actual number but when i use the after parameter it’s responding with 0

[fast osprey]

I mean we don't know what's in that channel, it might be helpful to do some logging in that loop to see what's actually happening

If you're using a channel as a database, I strongly recommend you use an actual database anyways

[lucid ember]

    if msg.content.startswith('hello'):
        print(msg.content[2])```

I need this to print out the second statement after `hello -> world <- This`
So I tried doing `msg.content[2]` to get the line of text after the first space, but seems that python does not work like that, and instead of giving me what I looked for it printed `e` (the e inside hello).

Can someone help me figure a way to do this? Thanks.

[fast osprey]

If youre using discord.py, I highly suggest you use the command framework for reading messages and parsing inputs

[lucid ember]

Why?

[fast osprey]

Because it takes care of the parsing for you

And makes your code far more readable

[lucid ember]

Do you mean the @bot.event / command() thing?

[fast osprey]

The command specifically yes

[lucid ember]

I'm using the 'event' for checking messages. I didn't write it above, but I have it in my code.

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if msg.author != bot.user: return
    if msg.content.startswith('$with'):
        print(msg.content.endswith)```

[fast osprey]

I would recommend you do this with a command

[lucid ember]

Ok

[fast osprey]

And not use on_message at all

[lucid ember]

Because it will check all messages sent in the server?

Oh that would actually solve the issue because I remember bot.command() makes it easier to check the message's content without the trigger

[fast osprey]

Because it interferes with the command logic

[lucid ember]

Yeah, thanks.

i want to load one cog only if bot is ready

[sick birch]

what is stopping you from doing so?

[mild token]

i dont know the method

what should i use?

one cog has lots of listners

[sick birch]

do you know how to use cogs?

[mild token]

yeh

[sick birch]

so just do that

[mild token]

i just want to make the cog wait

until bot becomes ready

then load it

is their any method which holds the cog initilization until bot becomes ready?

[sick birch]

why does your cog need to wait for bot to be ready?

you said it was all only listeners?

[mild token]

when bot logs in bot class tries to contact api and takes token and attach that instance to itself and i am not able to use that instance bcz cog load before that

so if cog wait until bot gets ready then it can solve the issue

[sick birch]

i'm not understanding, this doesn't seem like something that's dependent on your bot being ready

i am not able to use that instance bcz cog load before that
i dont understand this part

oh are you contacting the API in on_ready?

[mild token]

class MyBot(commands.Bot):

    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(
            command_prefix="supersecretjutsu",
            help_command=None,
            intents=intents,
            tree_cls=CommandErrorHandler,
        )
    async def setup_hook(self):
        coc_client = coc.Client(key_names=DevCreds.DEV_TOKEN_NAME)
        await coc_client.login(
            email=DevCreds.DEV_SITE_EMAIL, password=DevCreds.DEV_SITE_PASSWORD
        )
        self.coc_client: coc.Client = coc_client

this dont work in cog coc_client if bot dont become ready

[sick birch]

setup_hook runs before on ready

if you add_cog after that it will work

[mild token]

i will try to do this

tnx

it worked

[sick birch]

    async def setup_hook(self):
        coc_client = coc.Client(key_names=DevCreds.DEV_TOKEN_NAME)
        await coc_client.login(
            email=DevCreds.DEV_SITE_EMAIL, password=DevCreds.DEV_SITE_PASSWORD
        )
        self.coc_client: coc.Client = coc_client

        await self.add_cog(MyCog())

MyCog can now use coc_client

[mild token]

i fixed it

?

what do you mean '?'

[wanton current]

what does that have to do with applications.commands

[willow sable]

because that is supposed to be enabled to use bot commands

and i didnt when i invited it to test

so i spent 2 days making that system

[wanton current]

think applications.commands is granted by default

[willow sable]

no it is not

[wanton current]

and you only need it if you want to create application commands i.e. slash commands

[willow sable]

it is required to use it

[wanton current]

then re-invite your bot with it

[willow sable]

well i already made the system

i'd rather use it than ditch it for a new one, even if it's better

but its fine

i hope u figure it out

What do you mean by "doesn't show"

[slate swan]

like when i do "/" the commands aren't here

[spring rampart]

maybe its something to do with the commands??

[slate swan]

it loads but it's not shown

idk

[spring rampart]

wait it says the prefix is !

[slate swan]

ye

[spring rampart]

but did u manually make the commands into slash commands too??

maybe jus try the commands with !

[spring rampart]

hmm

[slate swan]

ai code btw i need to precise it

but its weird tho

[spring rampart]

yehh idk

im not very good at python so im not too sure

it looks like it should work tho

[slate swan]

slash commands works without being in a folder

so idk

[spring rampart]

ohh wdym

[slate swan]

lemme try to out them from folder

[spring rampart]

do u mean like the slash commands work in the main code but not in cogs??

[slate swan]

ye

[spring rampart]

cuz i have that too if thats what u mean

OMG

i jus did my slash commands in the main one cuz i only have /ping and /help

[slate swan]

its so boring

discord whyyy

[spring rampart]

idk why discord cant jus make it easy

[slate swan]

why everything in one file like f- it

[spring rampart]

like why cant we jus say like yo @discord when the user does /ping then show the ping!!

BOOM

[slate swan]

ye true

[spring rampart]

yehh

[slate swan]

should i switch to js?

[spring rampart]

there is prolly a way to make it work but idk

[spring rampart]

prolly

[slate swan]

ok

i think it'll be better

[spring rampart]

its harder but much faster response times and more community like help and stuff

[slate swan]

ye

[spring rampart]

cuz its more common

[slate swan]

yeah

[spring rampart]

im jus too stubborn to use js

[slate swan]

i think coding discord bot is hell in python lol

[spring rampart]

yehh

[slate swan]

worst thing ever

[spring rampart]

imagine if its hell in js too

[slate swan]

lol

[spring rampart]

like imagine if coding discord bots is jus hell like however u do it

[slate swan]

ye

[spring rampart]

i might jus give up on mine icl

[slate swan]

thankfully nodejs is easier for common peopls

[spring rampart]

anyways good luck with ur bot bro

[slate swan]

thx u too!

[spring rampart]

yehh

[slate swan]

see ya men

[spring rampart]

adios

[pure shale]

Can anyone help me with this?

[fast osprey]

Are you calling your sync? Are you logging what sync returns?

[wispy grotto]

can anyone help me create a countdown bot that stays in a vc 24/7 and countdowns like this: 3 minutes till countdown
2 minutes til countdown
1 minute til countdown
30 seconds till countsown
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
Go
Please help me with this

[clever sandal]

def countdown(t):
    while t:
        mins, secs = divmod(t, 60)
        timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)
        print(timer, "minutes till countdown")
        time.sleep(60)
        t -= 1

    print("1 minute till countdown")
    time.sleep(30)
    print("30 seconds till countdown")
    time.sleep(20)
    print("10 seconds till countdown")

    for i in range(10, 0, -1):
        print(i)
        time.sleep(1)

    print("Go!")

# Start countdown for 3 minutes
countdown(3)

[fast osprey]

It's a bit unclear what you want to actually happen. Like it sends audio at those times?

[wispy grotto]

yes i want it to speak like countdown in 3 min and etc what i said and then i want it so repeat the smae thing over and over afain endlesly but i want 30 sec between end of script and start

[fast osprey]

Do you have the sound files you want to play?

[wispy grotto]

nah sadly not cuz im on vacation but i guess eleven or i forgot name but there you can create the sounds

could you hepp ne

[jaunty cape]

Your init constructor has to have different parameters for it to work

Give me a moment let me look in my GitHub repo

You have to add the “/“ parameter

[fast osprey]

That is not required

[jaunty cape]

Really?

[fast osprey]

Yeah try it

[jaunty cape]

Can’t, I’m not at my computer

[jaunty cape]

I forgot to do self.bot smh

[wispy grotto]

If anyone is bored and got literally nothing to do and would want to do something feel free to create a countdown bot for me that is talking in vc like this: 3 minutes til countdown
2 minutes till countdown
1 minute til countdown
30 seconds til cluntdoen
10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
Go

30 sec wait time till repeat

Pls help me with this bot i need it for my server. It will pop off ong
Dont rpely if u js gon say no one gon do it pls
I need this person who can do it so pls help me when ur bored

[sick birch]

please dont crosspost your question in multiple channels

[jaunty cape]

first of all make several audio files

if you know how to play sounds, and sleep, then you can do it

[wispy grotto]

huh

[jaunty cape]

💀

do you know how to play an audio file in discord voice chat

[wispy grotto]

like

thtough a bot?

[jaunty cape]

i'll let you answer that yourself

i don't wanna answer stupid questions today

[wispy grotto]

dang

i prob dont know

[wispy grotto]

no

[jaunty cape]

ok can you connect a discord bot to a voice channel

wait what was the comand

ok i'll just send the docs https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.FFmpegPCMAudio

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceClient.play

[wispy grotto]

bru im on phone and on website and not on dc real app bc it’s glitching for me

[wispy grotto]

what i do witg the docs

bro im a npcs that don know shi

[fast osprey]

They're just asking for someone to write something they want entirely for them for free, not help

[jaunty cape]

i'm not sure, i think you're supposed to just stare at them blankly

[wispy grotto]

oh ye good idea

lol

[jaunty cape]

mhm 👍

[wispy grotto]

but i dont understand what u mean with this

[jaunty cape]

but that's perfect english

how can you not understand

[wispy grotto]

but like

what u meant with it

[jaunty cape]

would you understand if i said "do you know how to do x"

[wispy grotto]

no

but like

why is it so hard to just get a bot that can clintsown like i want in a vc

24/7

[jaunty cape]

idk, i think it's because you don't even know how to connect a bot to a voice channel

how are you going to play audio if the bot isn't even in a voice channel

[wanton current]

[wispy grotto]

you cant

is this a good code for a bot to countdown as i want?

import time

def countdown(t):
while t:
mins, secs = divmod(t, 60)
timer = '{:02d}:{:02d}'.format(mins, secs)
print(timer, "minutes till countdown")
time.sleep(60)
t -= 1

print("1 minute till countdown")
time.sleep(30)
print("30 seconds till countdown")
time.sleep(20)
print("10 seconds till countdown")

for i in range(10, 0, -1):
    print(i)
    time.sleep(1)

print("Go!")

Start countdown for 3 minutes
countdown(3)

[wanton current]

No

[wispy grotto]

whats wrong with it

[jaunty cape]

first of all, don't use a while loop, use a background task

[fast osprey]

Really

[wanton current]

Everything

if you wanna use it on a discord bot

[jaunty cape]

also, you're using time.sleep

[wispy grotto]

Could you rewrite it lol

[jaunty cape]

Dreamer already gave you a good starting point

he was just giving you an example for a synchronous program

[fast osprey]

Let's get this out of the way. Do you have any desire to learn and experiment, or are you going to keep asking until someone writes the whole thing for you for free

[wispy grotto]

i wanna learn but ive tried before and it never works

[jaunty cape]

it's because you're not trying hard enough

[wispy grotto]

wym

i had 2 books that i read and i copied and followed the book but 1 week after i still aint learn nothing besfirs like hello world

and i never learn what like if and else and those key words what they mean

i cant leadn, its like i have a learning disability

[jaunty cape]

wait. so you're trying to make a discord bot without knowing python?

[wispy grotto]

uhhh like kinda lol

im npcs fr i try to get everything the fast way

[jaunty cape]

you're only slowing yourself down by trying to get us to write your code

[wispy grotto]

ye but like ive tried leafning by book and nothing witks

[jaunty cape]

learn by writing code, not by following a book

[fast osprey]

There's no way you're going to do this without fundamental python basics. Your options here are:

1. Put in the time to learn and experiment, there are plenty of resources but this is on you
2. Go to a freelancing community and pay someone to build the thing you want
3. Beg someone to make it for you for free (this isn't going to work and is just going to piss people off by you not valuing their time or skills)

[jaunty cape]

it's like in physics, memorize the entire 1000 formulas right?

that's wrong. memorize 3 formulas, understand what you're doing, and only use those 3 formulas for the rest of your life

[wispy grotto]

ye but

my brain just cant take the time that it is going to take

[fast osprey]

Then refer to option 2

[jaunty cape]

have someone study with you

python has a really easy syntax as long as you don't touch #esoteric-python

[wispy grotto]

my english is trash

what is syntax

[jaunty cape]

your books already explained it

are you certain that you're trying to learn?

[wispy grotto]

yes ive tried dozens of times but i never learn so it gets boring and thten i quit

Me and my dad created a game just like snake

[fast osprey]

Programming is not the kind of thing that is straightforward or has immediate yields. It requires patience and resiliency.

[wispy grotto]

yes i figured

[jaunty cape]

if you quit at any point you're not trying hard enough

[wispy grotto]

dang

what else then bots can i do with pytho

[jaunty cape]

practice your fundamentals

it's like math, you can't learn pre-calculus if you don't even know pre-algebra

you can't do AP physics 1 if you didn't even finish algebra 1

[wispy grotto]

yh

[jaunty cape]

in boxing, you can't do a professional fight if you can't even throw your 6 basic punches correctly

can you do a 540 tornado kick if you can't throw a roundhouse?

[wispy grotto]

ye ur righy, im jusg looking for stuff the easy and wuick yway

[wispy grotto]

no

[jaunty cape]

trying to do things from the top is the quick and really hard way

[fast osprey]

There is no easy and quick way

[jaunty cape]

you have to start from the bottom

[wispy grotto]

donyou have any tips like how i should start learning

and how to make it fun

[jaunty cape]

idk i kinda just solved problems after learning what everything does and how it works

[wispy grotto]

what kknd of problems

and did yoi create any games?

[jaunty cape]

no i solved problems such as - 3 5 = -2

i believe this is called "prefix notation evaluation"

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_notation

[wispy grotto]

wth is that even lol

[jaunty cape]

- 3 5 is the same as 3 minus 5

[wispy grotto]

-2?

oh

but then thats ez

[jaunty cape]

nah, some CS graduates weren't able to solve it when my teacher interviewed them

it is an easy problem though

[wispy grotto]

now that u said how to do

it was easy, can u say another one similar to that ine

wait wait u solved that problem coding?

[jaunty cape]

yes.

[sick birch]

you should find a project that is both within your skill level and has use to you

this is the optimal way of learning

this is what i usually tell people when they ask others to suggest a project for them, you know yourself better than we do and you can pick a project out for yourself based on your interests far better than we can

[wispy grotto]

ye well my skill is at 0 lol

[sick birch]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[jaunty cape]

serious? this server had a resources page the whole time?

[sick birch]

A Byte of Python and Automate the Boring Stuff come highly recommended

[wispy grotto]

if i dedicate myself rlly much to learn would it take years to learn python and how to create a bot like the one i want

[sick birch]

it will not take years

but we cannot tell you how long it takes because it varies wildly from person to person

[jaunty cape]

i personally took 3 months

[wispy grotto]

dang

how much daily did you practice

[jaunty cape]

when i started i didn't even have a computer, so i took classes once a week

[wispy grotto]

oh

dang

[jaunty cape]

yeah the teacher had these really cool machines with linux mint installed on them

[wispy grotto]

lol

[graceful raven]

Good Evening everyone! I have come up with a python file to do some status checking on certain game servers. My question is, how can I transform this so it can go into my bot? Or would a webhook be better? I'm not really sure because this is something that checks on an interval basis on isn't through a command. Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations?

https://paste.mozilla.org/E4J4D9qp/raw

[torn solar]

for some reason im rate limited on my bot

from discord and it only probably gets a few request every couple hours

[sick birch]

are you just running it on your own computer? or on a host?

[torn solar]

its hosted

[drowsy thunder]

Chat dead fr

[vocal laurel]

what host

[vague sonnet]

I'm making a bot on a host, I get an error and I think it's something with the token, can I send you the code of my bot and you can check what's wrong? My bot doesn't turn on because of that error and I don't know what's wrong.

[fast osprey]

What is the error?

[drowsy thunder]

!paste Show the trackback and the code

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

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

[drowsy thunder]

@fast osprey any idea how to open a modal from a button?

[slate swan]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_modal

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a modal.

[drowsy thunder]

So I can put that in the callback for button click?

[zinc gust]

wsg so i did a dmall command and like it says that people dm are closed while its not (it was working fine like 2 hours ago)

[fast osprey]

What exactly is dmall

[wanton current]

small

[zinc gust]

dmall is dming everyone in a server

with a command

[fast osprey]

Did all of the user's consent and ask the bot to get dm'd?

[zinc gust]

no

but like if they got their dm on it means they consent receiving dms from people

[fast osprey]

This is against developer policy then. You should use pings within the server

[zinc gust]

my question wasnt if it was against tos

[fast osprey]

You should refer to the server rules first, then

[zinc gust]

still

isnt my question

[fast osprey]

What do the rules say?

[zinc gust]

idk

havent read it tbh

[fast osprey]

Pretty bold thing to admit

Let me help you out though:

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

If what you're asking for help with violates discord's tos (it does), that is against the server rules to ask for help with it or for us to provide help with it. Lucky for you, there is a very straightforward solution that accomplishes the core goal that does not violate TOS

[sick birch]

you agreed to the rules by joining and chatting in the server. it is unwise to agree to something without knowing what it is that you are agreeing you.

[zinc gust]

wym

[fast osprey]

Is there a confusion about what "rules" means?

[velvet compass]

#rules has a list of rules for the server, and this project would run into rule 5. We would not want to assist with a mass DM spam bot

The preferred way for a bot to interact with lots of people in a server would be a ping in channel

[slate forum]

In simple terms, asking for help that goes against Discord's rules (Terms of Service) is not allowed. This server follows those rules, so we can’t assist you with anything that would break Discord's TOS.

[slate swan]

[wispy grotto]

yo guys my friend is making a discord bot i think through discord.py but his pc is x84 and not 32 or 64 anyone who cpuld like put code in and make bot but like not script it and stuff meaning that my friend will send the code and stuff and you just put it in

[fast osprey]

[slate swan]

May want to check again what x86 is

[sick birch]

what even is x84

ima assume you meant x86

its an instruction set for 32 bit processors so not sure what that has to do with a discord bot?

[mortal dust]

hey, anyone able to help with a discord python bot where I can use the commands globally?

[fast osprey]

What's the problem/question?

[mortal dust]

I'm trying to use the new user install feature to use my bot in dms

but cannot figure it out haha

[fast osprey]

What have you tried!

[mortal dust]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

TOKEN = 'tokens' # Replace with your bot token

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True # Enable message content intent if necessary
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='/', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'Logged in as {bot.user}')
try:
# Sync global commands
synced = await bot.tree.sync()
print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to sync commands: {e}")

@bot.tree.command(name="test", description="Vouch")
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("Vouch")

bot.run(TOKEN)

[fast osprey]

So firstly, you need to remove your sync from on_ready

Or you're going to lock yourself out of development entirely

Secondly, you don't need user installs to run commands in dms. That works just fine for regular global commands, assuming you share a guild with the bot

[mortal dust]

you're awesome for responding

but how do I get it working , could you modify for me?

[fast osprey]

nwnw! If you do want user installs specifically, you'll need to add the context for it. But you probably don't need it in this case

I don't write code for people

[mortal dust]

what am I missing for this to work properly then?

because the fixes you mentioned aren't what should be preventing me from being able to use it in dms

am I missing something in dev portal?

[fast osprey]

Well, this first step should be pretty straightforward

[mortal dust]

well this shouldn't prevent it from being used in dms, no?

[fast osprey]

This will allow you to actually fix the problem

If you do not do this, you will not be able to make any changes in the very immediate term

[mortal dust]

so after removing sync, what's the next action I should take?

[fast osprey]

Are you in a shared guild with the bot?

[mortal dust]

yes

[fast osprey]

Have you refreshed your client since syncing commands?

[mortal dust]

yes

[fast osprey]

Is the command in the guild's integrations tab?

[mortal dust]

My bad internet went out, I’m tryna use the bot in DMs

Not in a guild

It works in guilds

[slate swan]

Does anyone know how to make a stock bot for my discord

i have a website called sellauth

The api key is different i think, i tried using chatgtb but hes dumb

[normal lava]

hi

[normal lava]

stock means

i made a economy bot like owo now what should i do next ..

[limber jolt]

Error fetching bot guilds: 401: Unauthorized

[fast osprey]

What is the full error, including traceback?

[limber jolt]

Its a website for setting a prefix but on It i try to get what servers the user has admin perms In and the bots In for It to show up. But nothing shows under the guilds tab and I get that error.

Also ping on reply

[fast osprey]

But what is the error

And what is the code

[limber jolt]

I have like 10 files.

[limber jolt]

 * Serving Flask app 'server'

[fast osprey]

Your first step is to get the full error, including the traceback

[limber jolt]

that Is the full error

[fast osprey]

Whatever you have now is just swallowing the traceback

It is not

[limber jolt]

yum

[limber jolt]

I cant find any other error anywhere.

[fast osprey]

Because you're throwing it away

"Error fetching guilds" is not something python, discord, or flask would put out. That is you

This typically comes from people try/excepting blanket Exceptions, printing the exception itself and throwing away all of the useful bits. In general you really should not be writing error handling like this

[next oasis]

choose a Discord API wrapper (like Discord.py or pycord), get an API that can interface with whatever stock system you use, integrate it using your own capabilities

[low robin]

Can anybody explain me how to create a custom status for my discord bot? Without the Playing, Watchting etc. Just a text

[vestal crest]

im following a tutorial at the moment and it said to go to terminal and type pip install discord or pip install discord.py yet it doesnt recognize pip as anything

[low robin]

have you installed the latest version of python?

[vestal crest]

yes i have

[exotic hazel]

py -m pip install discord.py

try that

[vestal crest]

oooo tysmmm

[opal vortex]

or better than installing

git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git --branch main
./configure
make install

[wanton current]

yeah because it's easier running 1000000 tests than pressing a download button

[next oasis]

https://dev.to/tejasdev/adding-discord-bot-status-with-python-a2a

[wanton current]

outdated

[graceful raven]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.CustomActivity

|| @wanton current || this should work

This is the activity without "Playing", "Watching" or "Streaming"

[low robin]

Thanks

[graceful raven]

that's assuming you're using discord.py btw, otherwise you'll need proper docs for nextcord or pycord

Yeahhhhh i got it solved now

Lol, network issue

Did you read the warnings

[slate swan]

Yes but I don't know how to fix it

I can run it on replit but not with bot-hosting.net? Why?

[fast osprey]

Both of those are not good places to run bots

[willow sable]

why are discord.py buttons supposed to be like this

async def btn(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

instead of

async def btn(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):

[mild token]

Context menu can have how many parameters?

[willow sable]

context menu in which?

commands or..

[mild token]

On a message like a report command with 2-3 more parameters

Is it possible to give multiple parameters to context menu?

Like we do for slash?

[willow sable]

like

@client.command()
async def cmd(ctx, arg):

?

or am i stupid

[mild token]

What do u mean?

[willow sable]

there is a ctx argument in commands

so i dont really know what you're referring to

[mild token]

I am talking about context menu

[willow sable]

hang on let me google

oh

[mild token]

!d discord.app_commands.context_menu @willow sable

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.context\_menu

@discord.app_commands.context_menu(*, name=..., nsfw=False, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
Creates an application command context menu from a regular function.

This function must have a signature of [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) as its first parameter and taking either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member), [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User), or [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message), or a [`typing.Union`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Union) of `Member` and `User` as its second parameter.

Examples...

[willow sable]

ok i got it

[crude remnant]

uh, someone help, I am new to discord python stuff and when my bot is on and I execute a slash command code the previous slash command won't show up

plz help a brutha out 🙏

[fast osprey]

What do you mean by "won't show up"?

[slate swan]

hi

someone can help me making an discord bot what getting pysilon samples form Triage and ungrabbs the discord bot token form it

and sends it to the discord server

[fast osprey]

What exactly does "ungrabbs" mean and what are you doing with a token 🤨

[slate swan]

like remove the bot form the server

or dm the victims

https://lululepu.fr/

like this

[fast osprey]

I have no idea what a "grabber" is

[slate swan]

but auto mated

a grabber is that grabbs paswords

[fast osprey]

[slate swan]

but form pyisntaler files

gets the bot token

[fast osprey]

Who is getting what bot token, and how

[slate swan]

like a bot token the login of the discordbot

[fast osprey]

That doesn't answer my question. I know what a token is

[slate swan]

you know pysilon

[fast osprey]

What is the exact scenario playing out here, it's entirely unclear what you are trying to do

[slate swan]

get the samples from triage and gets the token form the pyinstaller file

[fast osprey]

What are you trying to do

[slate swan]

and sends to a discord server

[fast osprey]

I'm going to get out ahead of this conversation and inform you that distribution of bot credentials (including tokens) is strictly prohibited by the TOS regardless of how you're getting them unless you are qualified as a service provider of that particular bot

[slate swan]

but those are cyber criminals

[fast osprey]

Okay...? So again, what are you doing?

[slate swan]

im not doing it

but i trying

look up pysilon

[fast osprey]

That doesn't tell me what you're trying to accomplish, you're just throwing buzz words around

Without using any specific library or framework, what is the problem you're trying to solve? Someone else has some bot token, what are you trying to do with your code?

[graceful raven]

Solstice, what he is referring to is "grabbing". This is referred to as stealing tokens that allow unauthorized users to steal tokens or session cookies to login. This effectively bypasses MFA/2FA. This is a very big thing in Discord actually especially in communities where rare Discord account names may exist, rare badges, etc. Or just trying to mess with someone.

However, it's usually NOT just discord grabbing. They usually grab a lot more information including but limited to:

Saved Passwords, CC Info, Addresses, Cookies, etc.

You can read more here on this gist writeup: https://gist.github.com/SpreeHertz/467dbeb05f261d1b92fe6f8d6d2dcc1e?permalink_comment_id=3976567

[fast osprey]

Right, I know what this means. What is very unclear is what they specifically are trying to do, materially

[graceful raven]

I will agree it's severely unclear what he's trying to achieve but it sounds like he's trying to defeat this malware (PySilon) in an automated fashion by taking malware samples and doing something with them. But I have 0 understanding on how he will do that with a discord bot

[fast osprey]

The specific bit that concerned me (emphasis added by me):

...ungrabbs the discord bot token form it and sends it to the discord server

[graceful raven]

Yeah, no that is of concern as well. Tokens shouldn't be sent in a server. Again, I agree that it's a little odd.

[stark ingot]

I believe that sending a bot token to a discord server automatically invalidates it.

[wanton current]

no

[glad cradle]

the best way to defeat these communities is by reporting them to discord, they take these reports quite seriously

[stark ingot]

From what I can tell you are right and my statment was wrong. IDK why discord does not do it as they warn you not to send tokens so they know a token has been sent.

[fast osprey]

May be legitimate cases . Dev team on a private server or something

[slate swan]

is it possible to change the bots banner via command?

[wanton current]

?rtfm commands.Bot.user.edit

damn

!d discord.ClientUser.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientUser.edit

await edit(*, username=..., avatar=..., banner=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the current profile of the client.

Note

To upload an avatar, a [bytes\-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object) must be passed in that represents the image being uploaded. If this is done through a file then the file must be opened via `open('some_filename', 'rb')` and the [bytes\-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object) is given through the use of `fp.read()`.

Changed in version 2\.0: The edit is no longer in\-place, instead the newly edited client user is returned.

Changed in version 2\.0: This function will now raise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

how to get datetime like this? like the gray thing around it

[fast osprey]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime) for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale\-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

Hello @alpine summit, this channel is unrelated to hip-hop unfortunately.

[snow coral]

Why isn’t the url portion of this working? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/FTCA

My discord antinuke bot not work help me https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZDBA

[graceful raven]

do you have an error?

[graceful raven]

what's the issue?

Make sure to provide tracebacks, errors and any other helpful info

[spring ferry]

Code working but when !MIB

It's doesn't reply me also bot shows offline

@graceful raven

[jade jolt]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZZQA nev er seen an error like this. im just trying to add a cog to clean up some of my code

[merry cliff]

pickle tried to store command context perhaps?

[jade jolt]

what

[timber dragon]

Could you send the code for that HelpCommand class please

[spring ferry]

Bot is not replying

[timber dragon]

The issue there is the way you import the datetime module

you:

from datetime import datetime
datetime.utcnow(), datetime.timezone.utc

fix:

from datetime import datetime, timezone
..., timezone # not datetime.timezone

recommended fix:

import datetime
datetime.datetime.utcnow(), datetime.timezone.utc

[slate swan]

!d datetime.timezone

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timezone

class datetime.timezone(offset, name=None)```
The *offset* argument must be specified as a [`timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta) object representing the difference between the local time and UTC. It must be strictly between `-timedelta(hours=24)` and `timedelta(hours=24)`, otherwise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) is raised.

The *name* argument is optional. If specified it must be a string that will be used as the value returned by the [`datetime.tzname()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.tzname) method.

Added in version 3\.2\.

Changed in version 3\.7: The UTC offset is not restricted to a whole number of minutes.

[spring ferry]

Huh where ? Can I share my code

[slate swan]

Yes

[timber dragon]

Sure

[slate swan]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

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

[spring ferry]

Ok

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VWVA

@slate swan @timber dragon

[timber dragon]

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

[spring ferry]

At top ?

[slate swan]

timezone is submodule of datetime

Just add it to imports

[timber dragon]

And line 42 is the error

[spring ferry]

Actually I don't know python I made this script using gpt and my knowledge can you tell me

[timber dragon]

I would recommend replacing the import with just import datetime

Bruh

[spring ferry]

Ok

Right?

[timber dragon]

And then using it like datetime.timedelta(...), datetime.datetime.utcnow() and datetime.timezone...
