[slate swan]

@forest anchor can you please use #bot-commands?

[forest anchor]

Yeah ure

[slate swan]

I already told you

Here

[crude crater]

!ping

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

[crude crater]

whoops

wrong thing

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[crude crater]

@client.command()
async def serverinfo(ctx):
        embed = Embed(title="Server information",
                      colour=ctx.guild.owner.colour,
                      timestamp=datetime.utcnow())

        embed.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.guild.icon_url)


        fields = [("ID", ctx.guild.id, True),
                ("Owner", ctx.guild.owner, True),
                ("Region", ctx.guild.region, True),
                ("Created at", ctx.guild.created_at.strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S"), True),
                ("Members", len(ctx.guild.members), True),
                ("Humans", len(list(filter(lambda m: not m.bot, ctx.guild.members))), True),
                ("Bots", len(list(filter(lambda m: m.bot, ctx.guild.members))), True),
                ("Text channels", len(ctx.guild.text_channels), True),
                ("Voice channels", len(ctx.guild.voice_channels), True),

                ("Roles", len(ctx.guild.roles), True),
                ("\u200b", "\u200b", True)]

        for name, value, inline in fields:
            embed.add_field(name=name, value=value, inline=inline)

        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

why this no worky?

like when i do the !serverinfo command in my server it doesnt do ANYTHING

i just type it and thats it

[slate swan]

@crude crater no error?

[crude crater]

no sir

it pretty much just sits there and does nothing

and idk why

[slate swan]

Do you have intents?

[crude crater]

yes sir

[slate swan]

Show em please

[hardy yew]

hi

can anyone help

[slate swan]

@hardy yew with what

[hardy yew]

await ctx.send(responses,components=[[
Button (label='Left', custom_id="LEFT", style=1),
Button (label='Middle', custom_id="MIDDLE", style=4),
Button (label='Right', custom_id="RIGHT", style=3)
]])
[1:36 PM]
but it cannot response

@slate swan

i am making a bot with button

[slate swan]

Oh I'm not so good with those libraries sorry

[hardy yew]

people cannot response

who can help @slate swan

[slate swan]

Try reading the docs

[crude crater]

how? wait are you talking about discord intents?

i’m confused

[slate swan]

Yes lol

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[crude crater]

how do i show you them?

[slate swan]

@crude crater screenshots

[crude crater]

of what? lmao

[slate swan]

Bruh, of the intents lol

[hoary gust]

@slate swan
is it wrong?

[reef shell]

'file' is a list object , not a dict

[deft galleon]

^

[hoary gust]

how can i get the think out of it

what method shall i use

[reef shell]

maybe use index numbers?

[hoary gust]

can u tell me how to use that '

[reef shell]

like file[0]

[deft galleon]

what do you get when you print att

[reef shell]

and now it depends on which index you want

[hoary gust]

ah i remember i did this with sql

[reef shell]

yeah try this @hoary gust

[hoary gust]

[<Attachment id=885772890954428476 filename='afk.db' url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/885755703204126740/885772890954428476/afk.db'>]

do it like this then:py att = str(file[0]) if ".py" in att or ".zip" in att: #do stuffs

not working

i wanted the filename but got this

lol

[reef shell]

show me the code inside the if statement

[deft galleon]

here is the most disgusting way

test = "[<Attachment id=885772890954428476 filename='afk.db' url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/885755703204126740/885772890954428476/afk.db'>]"
file = test.split(" ")[2].split("=")[1]
print(file)

if file.endswith(".db'"):
    print("test")

[hoary gust]

ok lemme try it

[deft galleon]

just replace test var with
att = str(message.attachments)

it's a super hacky way to do it... but I mean... it works IG

[hoary gust]

@deft galleon ah one more question

[deft galleon]

how?

[hoary gust]

i mean i am trying to make my bot send a attachment sent by me but its not sending

is there any way i can make it send the file that i sent it previously @deft galleon

[reef shell]

then maybe you have to send the attachment url

[deft galleon]

What bot library are you using?

[hoary gust]

dpy

[deft galleon]

RIP dpy

[reef shell]

^

[hoary gust]

i know

[maiden fable]

Hm

[reef shell]

same

[hoary gust]

me too

[hoary gust]

anyone?

[deft galleon]

I'm trying Hikari

[reef shell]

there are too many forks out there

how is hikari

[deft galleon]

It's pretty good, but some stuff is way more confusing that dpy

[reef shell]

does it support slash commands?

[hoary gust]

@deft galleon pls help

[maiden fable]

Well I won't use hikari cz it has a different syntax tbh

[deft galleon]

yes

or

[reef shell]

mhm great

[deft galleon]

dev builds do

not main build yet I don't think

[deft galleon]

I'm not to sure how to help with that

[maiden spire]

That's buttons

[supple thorn]

[hoary gust]

@maiden fable sorry for the ping hunter but can u plz help

[reef shell]

is this a joke? lmao

[maiden fable]

I guess. What happened

[maiden spire]

Hikari's "syntax" is a bit different but its easy to understand imo

[maiden fable]

?

[hoary gust]

@maiden fable ^

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message.

[maiden fable]

U using this?

[hoary gust]

await message.author.send("You must send a file in .py or .zip format", File =  message.attachments)```

[maiden fable]

-> it's file not File
-> message.attachments is a list

[reef shell]

They'll no longer whitelist bot's message intents unless your bot really needs it, and this text seems like a joke to me

[hoary gust]

so how can i fix this?

[maiden fable]

Lmao indeed

[maiden fable]

send(file=message.attachments[0])

Won't spoonfeed again, learn Python and read what I said again

[reef shell]

and it's one of some reasons why Danny left maintaining dpy

[hoary gust]

lol, i got it

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[reef shell]

after all, why tho
90% devs are dissatisfied bcz of this

[maiden fable]

Yups. They all are stressed that they won't get the intent

[hoary gust]

@maiden fable well hey wont that send the file link

??

[maiden fable]

[maiden fable]

Ah

[hoary gust]

lol as i said that index number is giving the link

[maiden fable]

Then try doing content=message.attachments[0]

[hoary gust]

content instead of file?

[maiden fable]

...?

[hoary gust]

..

[slate swan]

Attachments are a different type, use attachment.to_file

[maiden fable]

Or do str(message.attachments[0])

This will return the link of the attachments

[slate swan]

!d discord.Attachment.to_file

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment.to\_file

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

Converts the attachment into a [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") suitable for sending via [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send").

New in version 1.3.

[maiden fable]

Wait, it's a thing? The only two things in the docs were read and save

Wait wait wait nvm

[slate swan]

ath = message.attachments[0] # returns the first attachment from the message
f = await ath.to_file() # converts it to discord.File
.send(file=f) # now send this file

[maiden fable]

I was seeing the docs for Asset. 🤦

[slate swan]

Lol

[hoary gust]

i want my bot to send the file i sent it before but nothing working lol

[slate swan]

Share your code, and try like this ^

[hoary gust]

@slate swan can u gimme a example how slicing is done

or strip

[slate swan]

Maybe ask in #python-discussion

[hoary gust]

ok

[slate swan]

Or I'll explain later

[hoary gust]

i figured it out

[waxen granite]

                statschannels = {}

            category = discord.utils.get(guild.categories, name="STATS")```
str obj has no attribute categories
how can i fix this?

[potent light]

Discord.py is dead?

[boreal ravine]

no its alive and healthy

[potent light]

I am just reading on Reddit and watching videos on YouTube saying that it won't have any update and it won't be running starting from April, 2022.

[waxen granite]

why is owner showing like that?

[drifting arrow]

When it comes to releasing my bot as live and having it on a server to be always online, how would I store data? would I be allowed to create json files? or would I need a database and store it elsewhere?

[maiden fable]

Is it an Embed?

[waxen granite]

no

[potent light]

It's a Discord problem. You normally can't have pinged users inside the embeds because it takes time to load them.

[maiden fable]

U sure that's the owner ID?

[waxen granite]

ye?

[drifting arrow]

yes

[maiden fable]

@maiden fable

But @frigid radish doesn't work

That happens only when the I'd is wrong

[drifting arrow]

enable developer mode and copy id and paste it into here: https://discord.id/

[waxen granite]

msg = f"Joined **{guild.name}**\n-> Members: `{guild.member_count}` members.\n-> Owner: <@{guild.owner_id}>\n-> Invite: {invite}"
this is my code

[potent light]

Depends on where you host it. In some servers like Heroku, they delete JSON's data every time you update your bot, in this case, it's better to use a database. In other servers, they keep JSON's data, so you have the option to either use JSON or a database.

[slate swan]

hi

[potent light]

It's not an ID, it's a ping.

Or when the internet isn't fast enough to load it.

[drifting arrow]

Alright I'll need to figure out how to setup a database then.

[slate swan]

can someone help i honestly dont understand this

[maiden fable]

Can u gimme the ID?

[boreal ravine]

Ye danny (owner of dpy) shut dpy down but you can still use it

[potent light]

Either use their database or an external one like ElephantSQL.

[slate swan]

can someone

[waxen granite]

how fast the internet should be lol

[waxen granite]

what id bro?

[drifting arrow]

Thank you.

[maiden fable]

Owner ID

[slate swan]

pls someone

[potent light]

Yeah, will my bot run forever? I heard they gonna shut it in April, 2022.

[boreal ravine]

is this a nuke command?

[boreal ravine]

Uh you can still use it I think

[potent light]

I have no clue tbh, but the problem you're having is just a Discord problem, not from your bot's end. Pings don't always work in embeds.

[slate swan]

idk what its called but the person who asked me to make the bot(for his server) asked me to create this cmd idk wtf its for but to only allow it for admins

but rn it cant fetch the server members

[potent light]

That would be amazing.

[waxen granite]

591609618338283542 this is different 😮, not sure if he is the owner, someone invited my bot to the his server.

[slate swan]

hm

PLS SOMEONE HELP

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

uh

?

can u help?

Looks like a nuke command

[slate swan]

.

[waxen granite]

well this is not an embed.

[boreal ravine]

does the bot have member intents

[slate swan]

Also it's a very good way to get ratelimited...

[potent light]

If it's not an embed, then the ID must be wrong. Try getting their ID again and make sure you're getting the user's ID not their message ID.

[waxen granite]

hm

[waxen granite]

<@{guild.owner_id}> this is how we get the owner mention right?

[potent light]

Use guild.owner.mention instead.

[waxen granite]

any help with this one?

[waxen granite]

well now the owner name came lul

i mean the name is loaded now instead of id , did no changes

[slate swan]

wdym

[boreal ravine]

member intents

[waxen granite]

intents.members = True

[slate swan]

i dont understand lol

im sry for asking this but can u spoonfeed because idk what intents are

[waxen granite]

do u have this in your main.py?

[slate swan]

no

[waxen granite]

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(**kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

New in version 1.5...

[slate swan]

i dont understand

[boreal ravine]

bruh

[slate swan]

how shd i put it into my code

[waxen granite]

read this

intents are baiscally permissions for the bot

[boreal ravine]

put the intents and use the kwargs at the docs/dev portal

[warped void]

So what is kwarg?

[slate swan]

keyword argument

[boreal ravine]

kwargs

[slate swan]

i swear i still dont understand

[waxen granite]

ping ping help help

[glass sail]

discord.py discontinued??

[slate swan]

ye

[boreal ravine]

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=intents)

[waxen granite]

the existing lib is still here until april 2022

[boreal ravine]

wdym until

[glass sail]

time to learn java

[slate swan]

It's always here, after April too. unless discord makes message privileged to unverified bots too

[boreal ravine]

yes

[waxen granite]

well thats the point

they might just do that

[boreal ravine]

they wont

[waxen granite]

hm

[slate swan]

And for interactions, there's a nice way, just set up a flask quart server and use old good dpy

[warped void]

Ty,i don’t even see that

[potent light]

It's a mention, not the name. Isn't that what you want to achieve?

[waxen granite]

its loaded now , that is what i meant

[potent light]

That's my concern tbh, will Discordpy bots be able to run after April, 2022?

[waxen granite]

discord issue probably

[potent light]

Yeah, that's your goal, right?

[waxen granite]

ye

[potent light]

Great~

[boreal ravine]

<@ ID >

[waxen granite]

help anyone :"3

[slate swan]

• Unverified bots: Will always run, intents doesn't matter for them, unless discord don't like them too
• Verified bots:
  • Got message intent: Will work
  • Got rejected: No

[potent light]

guild in the last line is a str, it needs to be a guild object for you to be able to use .categories on it.
Does self.serverstats have str or objects? fix that and it will work. If you have guild ids, just use guild = self.bot.get_guild(key)

[slate swan]

ok i did that it works but now another issue has come up it seems to ignore my if statements and instead go straight to banning because the acc that its trying to ban has role_1

[hasty loom]

this would be a good practice right? cus bot cant assign any of these roles

[potent light]

Makes sense. It's kinda hard tbh, Discord should totally do something about it because it'll lose a lot of developers and users if it won't.

[waxen granite]

this is my json.

[potent light]

Are those ids actually guild ids or?

Seem like messages or channels ids.

[waxen granite]

this is the guild ID, rest are msgs and channels iD

[slate swan]

They already lose a lot, me too bots are boring now. Also they don't care

[grim oar]

use an error handler?

[hasty loom]

yea

also what is an "integration"

[potent light]

Ok, use print(key) and see what you are getting.

[boreal ravine]

Like a bot/booster role or something (ntegrations meaning you cant delete them)

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine

[hasty loom]

oh so like it contains all of this?

except for is_default

[boreal ravine]

yeah ig

[waxen granite]

695919805772988506 prints this

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine

[potent light]

Seems like Discord is gonna die soon tbh, it was great while it lasted but now since they don't care about a lot of things, bad logo, not maintaining bot and stuff, somebody is gonna make a better app and take it over.

[potent light]

Great, that's the guild id. Now, you can use it to get the guild object.
guild = self.bot.get_guild(int(key))

[grim oar]

Make sure to cast to int

[slate swan]

Uh I don't think so. As a casual user, I like discord (nitro still sucks), but as a dev this isn't very good

[potent light]

Yeap.

Discord without bots is plain.

Yeah yeah, use int(key) not key and it will work.

[waxen granite]

okay

[grim oar]

Wud be better if you use a db

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine

[slate swan]

Interactions are good (pov: as a normal user), but I don't like they're restricting good old messages

[potent light]

What good old messages?

[slate swan]

Message content..?

[slate swan]

i feel that discord bots are actually what really makes discord pop out from other apps

[potent light]

I didn't know they were restricting any kind of message content. Ahhh, you mean content like racism, sexism etc.?

[slate swan]

....

[potent light]

Exactly.

[grim oar]

No lol

Message content being a new intent

[potent light]

Oh my bad.

[slate swan]

privileged*

[grim oar]

Yeah yeah

[slate swan]

Maybe, idc anymore lol. Programming isn't just discord bots, there's a, like a lot to learn.

[slate swan]

yea

[spring flax]

what's the best lib or just a good one to make context menus?

[slate swan]

[spring flax]

or any good one

I don't wanna do bots anymore too but @pliant gulch will force me to work on one more 😔

the if role in isnt working

it goes straight to the else

[slate swan]

dislash?

can anyone help

[grim oar]

Help him blanket

[slate swan]

I just know this one

can someone help lol

[slate swan]

hm

so it tries to ban the person even if the person has that role

uh

someone pls lol

[hasty iron]

why are you enabling member intents in the top of all of that

[potent light]

You haven't declared role_2 and role_3.

[slate swan]

i put it with the ids on top of this piece

[slate swan]

because earlier it couldnt view

[hasty iron]

?

[potent light]

Do print(role_2) and see what you get.

[hasty iron]

you cant enable nor disable intents after the bot started

intents are set when the bot connects to the gateway

and that happens once

[slate swan]

but when i remove it ctx.guild.members only fetches the bot itself

idk why

[hasty iron]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[hasty iron]

read that

and look what they do

[slate swan]

the acc its tryna ban has the role "new role"

[slate swan]

yes ok

[drifting arrow]

which part of discord.py tells my bot to only read x channel?

[slate swan]

@hasty iron hi the issue persists, idk why but with the earlier code it could fetch users other than itself

now it can only fetch itself that intents = true is gone

[hasty iron]

have you done what that embed says

[slate swan]

yes

[grim oar]

And Just loop over a list or something, having those role objects (the role_1, role_2 etc) and check if the context variable (the current Role) is in Member.roles

[hasty iron]

did you reload the bot

[slate swan]

yes

[hasty iron]

then it should work

[grim oar]

Oops

[slate swan]

but it doesnt

[waxen granite]

i mean the channel id

[hasty iron]

then you did something wrong

[slate swan]

i followed it

exactly

[waxen granite]

i wa doing this before uc = guild.get_channel(server_stats['member_count']) but it throws keyerror\

[grim oar]

Do you have that channel in that json?

[hasty iron]

maybe who code?

[hasty iron]

also Member.roles is a list of Role, an integer will never be there

[grim oar]

What do you want? Your code is getting member count but you are asking for channel id

[hasty iron]

you need to get the role with the id first

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

[slate swan]

oh ok

[waxen granite]

take a look at this, i am trying to get the channel id from that "member_count" part

[grim oar]

Ah, I get it

Can you show server_stats

guild there is a Guild object, not the id

[waxen granite]

the guild part works

dw about it

[grim oar]

serverstats[guild] talking about this guild

It is a Guild object, look above try

[waxen granite]

uc = guild.get_channel(server_stats['member_count'])
getting the KeyError here, what should i change in this?

[grim oar]

key["statschannels"]["member_count"]

[waxen granite]

well everything before the uc = works

[boreal ravine]

{ctx.guild.member_count}

[grim oar]

That's not member count lol, see here ^ @boreal ravine

[waxen granite]

oof

i am asking about how do i get the channel id from the "member_count": 526178490214 channel id

the rest of the code works

:3

[grim oar]

^ told you already

[slate swan]

Anyone know the best way of going about making a userinfo command that displays all the member's badges as emojis? I know how public flags and badge checks work, but it's kind of hard to implement

[waxen granite]

ah, this gives error for statschannels

already tried

[grim oar]

All the outermost keys in that json have statschannels key?

[waxen granite]

ye

[grim oar]

Show traceback

[waxen granite]

upon doing server_stats["member_count"]
uc = guild.get_channel(server_stats['member_count']) KeyError: 'member_count

[waxen granite]

uc = guild.get_channel(server_stats["statschannels"]['member_count']) KeyError: 'statschannels'

[slate swan]

Anyone?

[grim oar]

Your context variable is key, use that key[...][...]

[waxen granite]

hm

[waxen granite]

uc = guild.get_channel(key["statschannels"]['member_count']) like this?

[grim oar]

Yes

[waxen granite]

TypeError: string indices must be integers

[grim oar]

What is string there? key?

[waxen granite]

yes

[grim oar]

yeet

How's get_guild working then

[waxen granite]

and guild = self.bot.get_guild(key)

this works

[grim oar]

actually, that's not even possible, keys doesn't return string

[waxen granite]

so guild["serverstats"]["member_count"] should work

no?

[visual island]

make a dict containing {public_flag: ":emoji:"} then use a for loop/ list comp to iterate through User/Member.public_flags then subscript the dict with each flag

[grim oar]

Are you still using Guild object for getting the dict items?

[waxen granite]

yes

[grim oar]

In that server_stats

you are saving guild ids then why using guild object

[waxen granite]

i am confused now :3

[grim oar]

server_stats = self.serverstats[str(guild.id)]["statschannel"]
Do this

Then
uc = guild.get_channel(server_stats["member_count"])

[slate swan]

make a check function

[waxen granite]

ye , no errors now

[slate swan]

that returns if the message author is the author of the first message

[grim oar]

Working as expected?

yes i need the message author reply

then memeber mention

but can press 2 a time in author

[slate swan]

def check(interation):
    return #operations

you mean you need this?

[hardy yew]

but put where

@slate swan

[slate swan]

define it above in the command

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[waxen granite]

well it gives no errors , now trying it the tasks.loop works or not

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

whats import

[boreal ravine]

wut

[slate swan]

da heq

[unkempt canyon]

Star / Wildcard imports

Wildcard imports are import statements in the form from <module_name> import *. What imports like these do is that they import everything [1] from the module into the current module's namespace [2]. This allows you to use names defined in the imported module without prefixing the module's name.

Example:

>>> from math import *
>>> sin(pi / 2)
1.0

This is discouraged, for various reasons:

Example:

>>> from custom_sin import sin
>>> from math import *
>>> sin(pi / 2)  # uses sin from math rather than your custom sin

• Potential namespace collision. Names defined from a previous import might get shadowed by a wildcard import.
• Causes ambiguity. From the example, it is unclear which sin function is actually being used. From the Zen of Python [3]: Explicit is better than implicit.
• Makes import order significant, which they shouldn't. Certain IDE's sort import functionality may end up breaking code due to namespace collision.

How should you import?

• Import the module under the module's namespace (Only import the name of the module, and names defined in the module can be used by prefixing the module's name)

>>> import math
>>> math.sin(math.pi / 2)

• Explicitly import certain names from the module

>>> from math import sin, pi
>>> sin(pi / 2)

Conclusion: Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! [3]

[1] If the module defines the variable __all__, the names defined in __all__ will get imported by the wildcard import, otherwise all the names in the module get imported (except for names with a leading underscore)
[2] Namespaces and scopes
[3] Zen of Python

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

ty!

i need the long error message not a shortend down version

raise exception

instead of print

oh thx

[slate swan]

soo do you do raise error or something else

instead of printing it

what

I usually like sending it in discord instead of raising it...

the error is here: async def on_command_error(ctx: Context, error): do i do raise error

you would check what kind of error that is

if i raise it i can get more info bc the 2k char limit on messages

for example:

    await ctx.send("No such command")```

if the only thing there is raising the error, I suggest not making this event...

[lament mesa]

if you raise the error and not handle it the program will exit

[stark bobcat]

how do i make cogs

[waxen granite]

no errors

[hardy yew]

how to do it

let selected user to press thebutton only

[grim oar]

Uhh you should clean the code using a for loop for getting channels and using dicts instead of nested if

Now, what's the problem? Any error

[grim oar]

Ah didn't see

[waxen granite]

well nothing , just being ratelimited oof, ratelimited at 10 minutes

[grim oar]

Oo, you should sleep for a few seconds before editing yeah

[waxen granite]

hm

[grim oar]

And you should clean it

[waxen granite]

clean?

[grim oar]

[remote dock]

I need help can someone help me rn if ye dm me pls

[soft radish]

What type of help?

[remote dock]

Code

there is an error that i can't fix*

[slate swan]

Hello my bot has the following permissions...

But

await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, send_messages = False)

This code returns 403 : Missing permission

Pls help

[remote dock]

https://stackoverflow.com/

[slate swan]

Pls help

Give admin to your bot

And put your bot's role on top

See if that makes it work, If it doesn't let me know

The role is in 1st

[slate swan]

.

Works!

After making it admin

But it had manage_channel & manage_roles & manage_guild role True

Yes, And this is for 2 reasons [First one is]: Your server's roles are dumb [Second one is]: Your bot is dumb

Does that make me bad dev? :(

[slate swan]

Nope

Everyone makes mistakes (:

But this error was creepy right?

No...

Then?

[remote dock]

SamtTheNoob Can you help me

pls

[slate swan]

It's SamTheNoob, Yes I can help you, But I'm new too sooo, Let's see

[slate swan]

You gotta study and read the error (:

I did read it

It just showed 403

No it didn't?

[remote dock]

i cant send pictures here so ill dm you

[slate swan]

k

This was the error

``` I have this code, but it only sends one of the badge even though i'm trying and have both brilliance and i'm boosting, anyone know how to fix it?

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

It says missing Perms

Even though it has perms....

It has manage_channels, manager_roles & manage_guild

What else does it need to change role perms?

Creepy

[slate swan]

admin?

Discord being weird again...

[slate swan]

@visual island can you please help with this?

[valid niche]

Your bot cannot do what you’re asking it to do

It doesn’t have permissions

[slate swan]

These are the perms

[valid niche]

Are you trying to edit a role higher than the highest role of the bot?

Role hierarchy is important

[valid niche]

Try printing the member.premium_since and see what it returns

[lament mesa]

indent the await ctx.send(emoji) and put it inside the for loop

[valid niche]

Ah there is the error

Thanks rush

I didn’t see that part

[slate swan]

Oh wait right

🤦‍♂️ thanks

[lament mesa]

👍

[maiden fable]

Why not use join? U can get ratelimited

[slate swan]

How would I go about using it though?

[maiden fable]

Can't tell rn, on phone

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

My bot role is D.C

[slate swan]

I don't think i will though i'm just trying it only my server don't plan to make it public or anything

[maiden fable]

Ah cool

[slate swan]

@valid niche

How can i tag server name

[valid niche]

Oh I just noticed it’s having issues sending a message

I assume for lockdown you disable send messages in the channel?

[slate swan]

Yeah!

[valid niche]

And well that also applies to your bot

Your bot cannot send messages either anymore

[slate swan]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[valid niche]

So send the message before enabling lockdown

[slate swan]

Maybe.........

Ok thnx

Lemme try!

[valid niche]

Or have the bot bypass it

So add a role exception to all channels with the bot allowed send messages

[slate swan]

How can I make the bot say the server name?

guild.name

Thanks

ctx.guild.name

:)

@valid niche it fricking worked!

Thanks man!

I owe you a life

[serene lynx]

can discord py use mysql database?

[hasty iron]

discord.py itself doesn't use anything, it's just a wrapper, its your job to use it

[slate swan]

Can someone help me in json databases

[hasty iron]

json isnt a database

[slate swan]

yes its a file

since when was json a database?

lmao

Yes I need help in getting stored data from it@slate swan @hasty iron

explain

[hasty iron]

first, switch to an actual db

problem fixed

[slate swan]

json is fine switching to an actual db doesnt always solve the problem

I stored nation region and password along with guild id if I used guild id I need to getting the three

@slate swan @hasty iron

[hasty iron]

okay?

[slate swan]

go to dm

[serene lynx]

Hello all. Quickish question: I want to get user input for a bot command, but this code will only grab the first "100,"

    @commands.command(aliases=["colour"])
    async def color(self, ctx: commands.Context, mode: str, user_color: str) -> None:

When called like this:

.color rgb 100, 100, 100

[vagrant brook]

Add * before user_color

[maiden fable]

*user_color

Mine will make a list, but Pichu's will make a string

[velvet compass]

Sweet, I tried to replace it with *args and then unpacking but that didn't work out

[vagrant brook]

I mean *, user_color

[maiden fable]

Ah ok

[velvet compass]

I do want to keep the mode though, as rgb is correct. It could also be hex, hsl, hsv

If I do *, user_color I would need to parse the input for the mode

[vagrant brook]

Nope

[velvet compass]

Huh. Neat!

I'm away from my test server so I can't log and verify but thanks!

[stiff nexus]

how do i disabe my custom help cmd?

[maiden fable]

Bot.remove_command?

[stiff nexus]

that will remove

not disable

[boreal ravine]

your custom one or the in-built help command?

[stiff nexus]

custom one

[boreal ravine]

Remove the command ig

[stiff nexus]

its a class

[hardy yoke]

what is the functional difference

[visual island]

try bot.help.hidden = True

[stiff nexus]

thx

[visual island]

not gonna be surprised if it doesn't work..

[boreal ravine]

you seem familiar

[mystic vessel]

Which new alternative to d.py do you guys suggest?

[scarlet snow]

I would change from py to js

[mystic vessel]

oh kk that is an option but I would prefer to continue in a language I already know that to learn another one from scratch

but thanks for the suggestion

[stuck flare]

is there any good tutorial abt cogs?

[stuck flare]

i think it should be on_connect(bot):?

[stiff nexus]

no

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_connect

discord.on_connect()```
Called when the client has successfully connected to Discord. This is not the same as the client being fully prepared, see [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") for that.

The warnings on [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") also apply.

[stiff nexus]

see

[wispy sequoia]

async def client_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.BotMissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send(f"\u26d4 **I'm missing permissions**\n{error}")```
I want to make an error message if the bot hasn't permessions, but what do I use?

@client.error is not a function avaiable

[slate swan]

that's bc it's @client.event

and it's async def on_command_error

do you have a command named client?

[stuck flare]

?

[wispy sequoia]

no

just if the bot has't the perms

[slate swan]

then it wont work

[wispy sequoia]

I know

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_command\_error

discord.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error "discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error")).

[slate swan]

and it's an event so you do @client.event not @client.error

[wispy sequoia]

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.BotMissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send(f"\u26d4 **I'm missing permissions**\n{error}")```

?

[slate swan]

yes

ok

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.filter_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.filter\_commands

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

anyone?

[slate swan]

roleid is an int

if 1243 in [r.id for r in member.roles]

where 1243 is your role id

[wispy sequoia]

!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.pydis.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

i have try and except in my code

(i am trying to send messages to bots)

[hasty iron]

do verify_checks=True and try again

[slate swan]

the user has the bot blocked or has DM closed or the bot doesn't have mutual guild with the user

[reef shell]

Is it possible to use customized embeds in the default help command?

[hasty iron]

not sure if it will fix it

[slate swan]

it does it's a bot tho you sure a bot can dm a bot?

Oh nevermind, you can't send messages to bots

I just saw that now

👍 just wanted to confirm thanks!

[stiff nexus]

where?

[stiff nexus]

the user does not have the ban perms but still its sending ban cmd in help

[reef shell]

why are you using _ before py await

[vapid palm]

I remove it??

[reef shell]

also you need to pass message parameter in on_message func

[slate swan]

use commands

[slate swan]

yes

[reef shell]

like on_message(message)

[reef shell]

any open source bot example?

[stiff nexus]

@hasty iron?

[hardy yew]

why it cannot be goal

[slate swan]

tbh i dont rlly know any

use codeblocks bruhh

[stiff nexus]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py

because you don't test for any condition

[hardy yew]

i ok using it

[slate swan]

cuz the code is outdated and broken

[lilac elbow]

did you mean else?

[hardy yew]

i test

but really cannot

[lilac elbow]

elif (): doesn't do anything

[slate swan]

yeah

[hardy yew]

oh sjhit

[lilac elbow]

its else

if condition: # if the condition is true
    pass

[timber island]

hey, i made my bot to get message content, but if there is a pinged user/channel in the message, it gives the id in that wierd format. any way how to get real name of the pinged person/channel?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.mentions ?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages. For more information, see system_content.

Warning

The order of the mentions list is not in any particular order so you should not rely on it. This is a Discord limitation, not one with the library.

[upbeat otter]

Guys, whats the difference between: ctx.message.author.id and ctx.author.id?

[hasty iron]

no difference

[upbeat otter]

thankuuu

[timber island]

thanks, it works

[slate swan]

doing message.author is the same as author, so author is just a quicker way to get the same result ( it's shorter )

[upbeat otter]

thenx

[slate swan]

@maiden fable Are you on PC now?

[slate swan]

Hey ! How can someone help me to code a command like +unrank it unranks the user like it remove all the ranks that he have

[lone lichen]

What ranks are u talking bout?

[slate swan]

ranks, or roles?

roles

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

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

Removes [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s from this member.

You must have the [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles "discord.Permissions.manage_roles") permission to use this, and the removed [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role")s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

thanks !

[spring flax]

bruh

[slate swan]

i'm dumb right ?

[spring flax]

you remove it from a member

[slate swan]

No, you didn't understand

Consider learning OOP

[spring flax]

and don't copy all those kwargs, just use the ones you need

[slate swan]

add_roles and remove_roles are methods of discord.Member

[spring flax]

like?

[slate swan]

but like how can i make it work

[slate swan]

It's a method of discord.Member

Can you explain what you are trying to do?

Hey ! How can someone help me to code a command like +unrank it unranks the user like it remove all the ranks that he have

[slate swan]

...

[slate swan]

like i copied an pasted x)

i'm trying to do a command that removes all the ranks of a member

roles

[slate swan]

just try iterating through each of member.Roles and member.remove_roles(x), where x is just what you iterated through for Member.Roles, it can be anything

like i tried this

[spring flax]

that's not how you remove roles

you remove roles from a discord.Member

if member is your member object, you would do member.remove_roles(*roles, **kwargs)

[slate swan]

like that ? i think

[willow vine]

is there a way i can increase the width of an embed

[steep estuary]

how to reset nick by bot :/

[spring flax]

!d discord.Member.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.edit

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

Edits the member’s data.

Depending on the parameter passed, this requires different permissions listed below...

[spring flax]

use the nick kwarg

[steep estuary]

how to reset ?

[spring flax]

set to None

[steep estuary]

oo

[steep estuary]

member.edit(nick=none) ??

@spring flax

[spring flax]

no

None

not none

[steep estuary]

oo

that only i mean

[steep estuary]

and how i can check if the user have perms to change others nick ?

[spring flax]

which user?

the author of the command, or the user who's nickname is being changed?

[steep estuary]

yes :/

[spring flax]

yes what lol

[steep estuary]

i mean the author of the command

[spring flax]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

discord.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[steep estuary]

i know but what i have to write inside @slate swan.permissions(here)

[spring flax]

manage_nicknames

[steep estuary]

k :)

[steep estuary]

no my command change others nick also :/

i want to check if he have perms to change others nick too

[spring flax]

yeah i was just showing you the permission

[steep estuary]

oo

k :) tysm

[spring flax]

use the check above (discord.ext.commands.has_permission) and checking for manage_nickanmes

np

[upbeat otter]

why is this giving me an error?

@client.command()
async def todo(ctx, item1=None, item2=None,item3=None,item4=None,item5=None):
  if ctx.channel.type is discord.ChannelType.private:
    authorID = str(ctx.message.author.id)
    if item1 == None:
      ctx.send("What do you mean, Enter something!")
    if item2 == None:
      item2 = "No Task"
    if item3 == None:
      item3 = "No Task"
    if item4 == None:
      item4 = "No Task"
    if item5 == None:
      item5 = "No Task"
    with open(f"{authorID}.txt", "w") as qq:
      qq.write(item1)
      qq.write("\n")
      qq.write(item2)
      qq.write("\n")
      qq.write(item3)
      qq.write("\n")
      qq.write(item4)
      qq.write("\n")
      qq.write(item5)

[spring flax]
