!d contextlib.redirect_stdout

[unkempt canyon]

contextlib.redirect\_stdout

contextlib.redirect_stdout(new_target)```
Context manager for temporarily redirecting [`sys.stdout`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdout "sys.stdout") to another file or file-like object.

This tool adds flexibility to existing functions or classes whose output is hardwired to stdout.

For example, the output of [`help()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#help "help") normally is sent to *sys.stdout*. You can capture that output in a string by redirecting the output to an [`io.StringIO`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.StringIO "io.StringIO") object. The replacement stream is returned from the `__enter__` method and so is available as the target of the [`with`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#with) statement:

```py
with redirect_stdout(io.StringIO()) as f:
    help(pow)
s = f.getvalue()
```  To send the output of [`help()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#help "help") to a file on disk, redirect the output to a regular file...

@pliant gulch i did ```py
return 2 + 2

[pliant gulch]

Can you show your code?

[shy roost]

@commands.command(aliases=["e", "eval"])
    async def evaluate(self, ctx, *, code):
        codeblock = f"```{code}```"
        end_code = codeblock.strip("`")
        end_code = textwrap.indent(end_code, prefix="\t")
        evaluated_result = exec(f"async def eval():\n{end_code}")
        captured_errors = traceback.format_exc(limit=None, chain=True)
        embed = discord.Embed()
        embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=f"{evaluated_result}")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[pliant gulch]

Like I said earlier exec returns None

you need to call eval in the embed fstring

[shy roost]

ah okay, and do ```py
eval(f"\n\t{code}")

[pliant gulch]

No

Look at this example

[shy roost]

okay so like this: py exec(f"def eval():\n\t{code}eval()")?

[pliant gulch]

No

[shy roost]

sorry, i'm just a bit confused.

[pliant gulch]

Exec makes the eval function

So in your embed, separate from the exec

Call eval

Just replace where you have evaluated_result with await eval()

[shy roost]

ah okay

so like this: ```py
evaluated_result = exec(f"async def eval():\n{end_code}")
embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=eval())

[pliant gulch]

I would keep it in the f-string, and make sure to await eval

[crystal cave]

which website should i host my code (websites like heroku)

[shy roost]

okay so ```py
await eval()

[final iron]

This is actually a really good solution for an eval command

[pliant gulch]

Mhm

[final iron]

Personally I just sent the result to a txt file and sent the contents

[pliant gulch]

And keeping it in the f string will cast the return to string when sending

So it won't error if you send something that can't be sent

[shy roost]

ah okay

@pliant gulch it's saying that I can't pass nothing to eval()

[pliant gulch]

Oh, rename eval to something else then

[crystal cave]

which website should i host my code (websites like heroku)

[shy roost]

the eval() function, or my evaluated_result variable?

[shy roost]

try something like docker

[hollow palm]

I'm trying to implement a search function into my bot, however when the command is called only the first word of the search is used. So for example if you search up "nice image", it will only search up "nice". How do I make it so the url parameter takes all the text after the command?

[pliant gulch]

the name of it inside of the exec

and then call it with the name which you changed it to

[shy roost]

ah okay

when I do this: ```py
evaluated_result = exec(f"async def eval_code():\n{end_code}")
embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=f"{await eval_code()}")

[pliant gulch]

I'd just ignore it for now, does it work?

[shy roost]

nope, it's saying that eval_code doesn't exist.

[pliant gulch]

Ok, seems like you will have to make a dictionary then

[shy roost]

damn okay

[pliant gulch]

variables = {}
exec("eval_code function here", variables)

[shy roost]

okay

[pliant gulch]

then call it via await variables["eval_code"]()

in your embed

You can add variables to variables if you want, so you can do stuff like referencing ctx

[shy roost]

okay, and should I define this dictionary before evaluated_result or in place of end_code?

[pliant gulch]

Do it above the exec as I have done in the example

And you don't need evaluated_result

[shy roost]

okay

[pliant gulch]

exec returns None

so evaluated_result is always None

[lament mesa]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/commands.html#keyword-only-arguments

[shy roost]

ah okay

@pliant gulch god my brain is tired, why is this python formatting returning an error: ```py
value=f"{await variables"eval_code"})

[pliant gulch]

you can't have double quotes inside of the double quotes

replace "eval_code" with 'eval_code'

what is it saying?

[shy roost]

LMAO NVM

[pliant gulch]

Does it work now?

[shy roost]

no

when I use a codeblock, it's saying that this line of code: ```py
embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=f"{await variables'eval_code'}")

[pliant gulch]

Strip it

[slate swan]

can you send the full error

[pliant gulch]

Same way you stripped the tilda's

[shy roost]

should I also strip the tildas from it?

[pliant gulch]

Yes

[shy roost]

okay, let me give it a shot

embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=f"{await variables['eval_code']().strip('`')}")
``` coroutine object has no attribute 'strip'

[pliant gulch]

?

You strip the string

^The part where you clean the codeblock

[shy roost]

@commands.command(aliases=["e", "eval"])
    async def evaluate(self, ctx, *, code):
        codeblock = f"```{code}```"
        end_code = codeblock.strip("`")
        end_code = textwrap.indent(end_code, prefix="\t")
        variables = {}
        evaluated_result = exec(f"async def eval_code():\n{end_code}", variables)
        captured_errors = traceback.format_exc(limit=None, chain=True)
        embed = discord.Embed()
        embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=f"{await variables['eval_code']().strip('`')}")
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

which line from this code?

[pliant gulch]

Above the second assignment of end_code

just do end_code.strip again but with py

Or you can do it on the first strip if you want to save lines

[shy roost]

nah, i'll just do it before the second define statement

evaluated_result = exec(f"async def eval_code():\n{end_code}", variables)
``` now it's saying that this line contains invalid syntax, ``````py

[pliant gulch]

Can you print out end_code and show me what that looks like

[shy roost]

okay

[pliant gulch]

Why is there so many tildas?

Codeblocks should only have 6, 3 on top and 3 on the bottom

[shy roost]

idk

[pliant gulch]

Run the command with

return 2+2

[shy roost]

that's what I've been doing though

[pliant gulch]

That's odd so somehow end_code duplicates the tildas???

That makes no sense to me

[shy roost]

yeah same

@pliant gulch would you mind adding me?

[pliant gulch]

What for?

[shy roost]

idk, if I need help in the future, you seem really chill, that's all.

@pliant gulch alright, i'm going to head out now. You have more patience than jeff bezos has money in his bank account honestly. You are a legend, I really appreciate you sticking around for nearly 1:30 hours, thank you.

[pliant gulch]

👍 , and I don't give out help in DM's if you want help from me just ping me

I will sometimes be able to help out

[shy roost]

ah okay, I got it. Thank you again!

[pliant gulch]

OH WAIT

[shy roost]

hm?

[pliant gulch]

BEFORE YOU LEAVE I KNOW WHY ITS ERROING

its cause you define codeblock with tildas

[shy roost]

OHHHH

[pliant gulch]

Do all the stripping DIRECTLY on code

[shy roost]

code? where is that?

[pliant gulch]

the argument you pass to the command

[shy roost]

embed.add_field(name="Code evaluation finished!", value=f"{await variables['eval_code']()}")
``` like this line?

[pliant gulch]

async def evaluate(self, ctx, *, code):

code right here, do all the stripping on the code variable

[slate swan]

Does anyone know an efficient way to store a mute duration if the bot were to restart?

[shy roost]

ah okay, so I will just do ```py
async def evaluate(self, ctx, *, code.strip("`"))

[pliant gulch]

no where the end_code stuff is

[slate swan]

lol

[pliant gulch]

just replace codeblock with code

[shy roost]

OHHH

evaluated_result = exec(f"async def eval_code():\n{end_code}", variables)
``` now it's saying that this line has invalid syntax

[pliant gulch]

strip py as well

[shy roost]

from that line?

[pliant gulch]

end_code = code.strip("`")

end_code = end_code.strip("py")

[slate swan]

i dont think that's a good idea

[pliant gulch]

And why not?

[slate swan]

it'll strip anything that says "py" in the code too right?

[pliant gulch]

It would but you can just avoid typing py in your codeblock

[shy roost]

@pliant gulch THANK YOU SO MUCH, IT WORKED

FINALLY, AFTER NEARLY 2 HOURS

[slate swan]

u could just do

[pliant gulch]

👍

[slate swan]

and make it strip that

[pliant gulch]

???

[slate swan]

like make it string the image i just showed u

[pliant gulch]

The whole point of the strip("py") is to clean the codeblock

[slate swan]

ik

[pliant gulch]

Yea, so if you don't strip it then it will error

[slate swan]

but it'll strip anything that says py in the code like i said

[pliant gulch]

Yea, and I said to just avoid typing py

[slate swan]

breh

[brave vessel]

iirc you can't strip with more than one char, you might have to use removesuffix

[pliant gulch]

you can

[final iron]

I just used splicing

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
a = "py-bruj"
print(a.strip("py"))

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

-bruj

[brave vessel]

!e

test = "test"
print(test.strip("t"))
print(test.strip("st"))

[unkempt canyon]

@brave vessel :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | es
002 | e

[brave vessel]

not sure what that last one is doing lol

[slate swan]

!e py test = "python" print(test)

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

python

[brave vessel]

ah, nvm
i think it can be a bit buggy tho since i remember running into an empty string with stripping, and that's why removesuffix /removeprefix was made i think

[slate swan]

see how it doesnt remove py?

[pliant gulch]

Whered the t go??????

[pliant gulch]

Because you didn't strip...?

[brave vessel]

strip is apparently interpreted as a set of characters for when you give the string, and removes it from both ends, so s is removed from the end and t from the beginning

[pliant gulch]

Ah that makes sense

[brave vessel]

!e

a = "py-brujyp"
print(a.strip("py"))

[unkempt canyon]

@brave vessel :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

-bruj

[pliant gulch]

Yikes

Ig you could probably do some regex stuff or manually parse the string if you want something very consistent

[brave vessel]

i think str.removesuffix or str.removeprefix works too

!e

a = "py-brujyp"
print(a.removeprefix("py"))

[unkempt canyon]

@brave vessel :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

-brujyp

[pliant gulch]

yea, removeprefix seems ideal this case

[brave vessel]

i have to say the behavior of strip confused me a lot lmao until i realized that it just doesn't work for substrings

quite annoying but there's probably a reason for it

[pliant gulch]

@brave vessel Do you have any knowledge in concurrency stuff?

[brave vessel]

Barely, I'm mostly into asyncio but I'm somewhat of a beginner there

I've worked with threading before but I don't really use it, since it's not really my niche

[pliant gulch]

Ah, darn I just finished impl a concurrent request ratelimit handler for my discord API wrapper

needed someone to review it

[brave vessel]

I mean I can try to understand it i suppose

where's it at?

[pliant gulch]

Uhh let me push the code I have rn to the repo then I'll send you the link

[brave vessel]

alright, awesome

Do you want me to review style, logic, or both

[final pumice]

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  general_channel = client.get_channel("id")
  general_channel.send("Bot is online!")

Where would I put the await in this situation

[brave vessel]

await general_channel.send("Bot is online!")

[final pumice]

Why is that

[brave vessel]

general_channel.send(...) is the 'coroutine function' (an asynchronous function TLDR)
and doing await will call that coroutine function

[pliant gulch]

Both if you feel like it, the wrapper's main purpose is for clean written code as

I despise how the internals of dpy look

[brave vessel]

Alright, sounds good

[final pumice]

Is client.get_channel("id") not a coroutine function?

[brave vessel]

Nope

[final pumice]

Okay

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/an-dyy/Lefi/blob/ratelimit-revamp/lefi/http.py

[brave vessel]

I'll check it out

[pliant gulch]

starts at line 113

[brave vessel]

Where should I put the review for it?

since it's not in a PR

[final pumice]

In the documentation, will it tell me what methods are coroutine functions?

[brave vessel]

Yep!

[final pumice]

Awesome

Alr thanks

[pliant gulch]

It's on a branch so I'll just open a PR rq

[brave vessel]

Sounds good to me

so it's just from line 113 onwards?

[pliant gulch]

Mhm

Opened the PR

[brave vessel]

I might not be the best with logic considering I have heard of semaphores and the likes but haven't worked with them too much, so it'll mostly be logic with easier ways to do it in Python itself and maybe a few asynchronous comments if I understand it, is that fine?

I might try and do a bit of reading while reviewing so I can also make some comments on the concurrent handler

[pliant gulch]

Alright, that is fine 👍

If you want to move to DM's that is alright as well since it might flood this chat

[brave vessel]

Oh yeah true

[pliant gulch]

My dm's are off so you will have to add me if thats alright

[final pumice]

How do I get the ID of a channel

@brave vessel

[brave vessel]

channel_instance.id should be good

[final pumice]

Wym

when I do get_channel(id)

it needs an id

[brave vessel]

oh

well iirc you might need to hardcode the ID or ask for it

[final pumice]

Eeeeeeeek

[final pumice]

How do I hardcode the ID

[brave vessel]

Copy the ID of the channel

and then copy and paste it into the argument of the ufnction

[vagrant galleon]

could anyone help me with this?

[final pumice]

I don't have the option to

[brave vessel]

enable developer mode

it's in the settings of discord i think

[final pumice]

Ah thanks

[brave vessel]

np

[final pumice]

One more thing

If I wanted to ask for it, how would I do that?

[pale zenith]

wdym ask for it?

[final pumice]

^ @pale zenith

[pale zenith]

make a command that asks the user for the ID/mention/whatever

and store it in a database

well actually

i dont even know what you you're trying to do in the first place

so idk if thats even what you'd want/need

[brave vessel]

you could have the user get the channel object like

.command #discord-bots

[final pumice]

ok

[final pumice]

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  general_channel = client.get_channel("id")
  general_channel.send("Bot is online!")```

[pale zenith]

🤔 probably hard code the id is the easiest lol

IDs are int btw

(also for commands you probably want commands.Bot not discord.Client btw)

[slate swan]

How can I check if anything from a list is in the content of a message

[pale zenith]

any takes an iterable^

see the 2nd to last example

[slate swan]

Ok and in an on_message how could I use that

[pale zenith]

just using it its just a python thing not d.py

[slate swan]

On message takes the param message rifht

[pale zenith]

the string can be your .content

yes only message

[slate swan]

so would message.content work

[pale zenith]

yep

[slate swan]

Ok thanks

[pale zenith]

np

[simple kettle]

Does anyone know how I can tell how long it takes a user to answer a .wait_for()

[spring verge]

anyone else using hikari now?

[simple kettle]

Lets say it took a user 4 seconds to respond. How would I get that value?

try:
  message = await bot.wait_for("message", cheeck=check, timeout=10.00)
expect asyncio.TimeoutError:
  await ctx.channel.send("Took to long")
else:
  print("Do stuff")

[brave vessel]

You could use time.perf_counter before, use the wait_for, and then after subtract perf_counter() minus the value set to time.perf_counter and print it

The wait_for command won’t execute any code after it until it receives the event or times out

[simple kettle]

alright ill do that thanks

[slate swan]

@client.event
  async def on_message(ctx, message):
    if urls in message.content:
      await message.delete()
      await ctx.send("server protected from phisher")
    else:
      return
    client.process_commands(message)

What did I do wrong nothing works

[boreal ravine]

is that a modded client

[stable delta]

you don't need ctx

actually you can't have ctx for on_message

[slate swan]

Anything else

[stable delta]

so take out ctx and sintead put await message.channel.send()

[boreal ravine]

it doesnt matter what name ur param is as long as theres only 1

[stable delta]

yeah that's fair

[slate swan]

Ok anything else

[stable delta]

it should be good, you have the urls variable defined somewhere right

[slate swan]

Mhm

[stable delta]

then it should work

[slate swan]

Everything else works but it doesn't do the deleting or sending no errors

[inner geyser]

hey there, actually I was trying to get some data using the lichess api, I was using the aiohttp lib, but when I ran the code it gave me a ssl error, whereas when I ran the same code using requests module and using Curl directly, it worked perfectly fine

import discord, aiohttp
import json
from discord.ext import commands

class lichess(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

    @commands.command()
    async def lichess_profile(self, ctx, user):
        try:
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                async with session.get(f'https://lichess.org/api/puzzle/daily') as json_data:
                    prof = json.loads(await json_data.text())
                    await ctx.send("something")
                    print(prof)
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
                    
def setup(client):
    client.add_cog(lichess(client))

My error was this -

Cannot connect to host lichess.org:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: certificate has expired (_ssl.c:1122)')]

[boreal ravine]

whats wrong

[inner geyser]

I keep getting a ssl error

[boreal ravine]

its a website problem ig

[inner geyser]

maybe, idk why it was working with Curl and requests

[brisk fiber]

if urls is a list, then the code within that clause will never trigger

list in str will never be True

odd that it doesn't throw an error though

[slate swan]

?

[brisk fiber]

is urls a list?

[slate swan]

No a string

[brisk fiber]

ah ok

[slate swan]

It says urls because I plan to make it ha ve several urls

[brisk fiber]

in one string?

[slate swan]

No

[brisk fiber]

oh also your async def shouldn't be indented past the @client.event

[slate swan]

Want me to explain my project shortly

[brisk fiber]

no, it's okay

just make sure you aren't using the in keyword to compare things that never have a chance of being true

[brisk fiber]

try de-indenting your entire function by one indent and see if that changes anything

download the module

[paper olive]

what module?

[slate swan]

Pip install discord

[boreal ravine]

you're using the discord.py module but you haven't installed it?

[paper olive]

i have it but that shows up

[boreal ravine]

then install it first

[sick birch]

python3 -m pip install discord

[paper olive]

?

[sick birch]

that's how to install if you want

more complete instructions can be found on the github page

[valid perch]

It's not discord, its discord.py

If you looked at the pypi page you'd see that
https://pypi.org/project/discord/

Although it works ig

[paper olive]

so i need to download an app?

[pale zenith]

Yeah.

[boreal ravine]

this might be outdated

[valid perch]

Tis why iim saying it aint the way

[boreal ravine]

makes sense

[slate swan]

Y'all got any idea how to set up a warning system, and after 3 warnings it auto mutes you?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67453633/how-to-snipe-messages-from-a-specific-channel-discord-py copied code lol

[slate swan]

lol

Lmao

[inner geyser]

lmao

[torpid dew]

oh thanks, I actually found that from a video

the code tutorial

[boreal ravine]

cool

but whats the error/what isn't working

[torpid dew]

nothing shows up when i delete msg and do command

[slate swan]

You need await client.process_commands(message) in your on_message event

Although you could just replace .event with .listen('on_message') which is what's more recommended

[torpid dew]

ok, I will try, thank you

[stiff nexus]

    def embed(self, ctx: Context, **kwargs) -> discord.Embed:
        """This is how we deliver features like custom footer and custom color :)"""
        embed = discord.Embed(**kwargs)
        embed.color = embed_color
        return embed
``` this should override all the embeds right? or do i need to set in the cmd `color = self.bot.color` ???

[torpid dew]

Hi, I am trying to make a simple command that makes the bot post a custom animated emoji (I know the emoji format, discord doesnt let me show it so it will show up as :Fire:

@client.command()
async def wfire(ctx):
  if ctx == 'wfire':
    await ctx.send(":Fire:")

thanks

[slate swan]

you would want a second parameter

async def wfire(ctx, emoji):

and you would check for the emoji's content

if emoji == 'wfire':

[boreal ravine]

you mean :fire:

[torpid dew]

Ok

thanks

I'll give it a shot

[torpid dew]

it didnt work and what do you mean by this

[slate swan]

tell me what you did

there's no way I was wrong there

[torpid dew]

ok

@client.command()
async def wfire(ctx, emoji):
  if ctx == 'wfire':
    await ctx.send(":Fire:")

[slate swan]

^

[torpid dew]

again, discord doesnt let me said the emoji format

[torpid dew]

if statement?

[slate swan]

yes

Literally just replace ctx to emoji in your current if statement

[torpid dew]

i did that before

[slate swan]

Apparently not

[torpid dew]

I tried it before

[slate swan]

Apparently not

Otherwise it would've worked

[torpid dew]

@client.command()
async def wfire(ctx, emoji):
  if emoji == 'wfire':
    await ctx.send(":Fire:")

[slate swan]

yes

then you use !wfire wfire

So, what happens now

[torpid dew]

oh thanks

is there any way to remove the 2nd wfire?

[slate swan]

Just remove the if statement and parameter

And send the emote directly

well then you wouldn't need the if statement

@client.command()
async def wfire(ctx):
    await ctx.send(":Fire:")```

simplest ever command

Why would you need a command that sends an emote you can send by yourself though

[torpid dew]

oh yeah, it was an event then i changed it to command, i forgot to remove the if

[torpid dew]

nitro :(

[slate swan]

🔥

No nitro needed

[torpid dew]

that one i am doing is animated

[torpid dew]

that one is:fire: not :Fire:

[slate swan]

That's not how to send custom emotes though

Should send something like that !sh_xelmofire

[torpid dew]

yes i know

but discord doesnt let me send it like that

cause i dont have nitro

when i try that it just goes to :Fire:

[slate swan]

Just get the emote id, put <a:emote_name:emote_id>

^

a: only if it's animated

[torpid dew]

yes i know

[torpid dew]

yes i know

[grim oar]

^

[slate swan]

!py_sun

[torpid dew]

\:emoji_name:

to get id

[slate swan]

and name

and format

[torpid dew]

[slate swan]

[torpid dew]

i know

[devout iris]

Can i reboot my bot with a command?

[maiden fable]

U can log out, sure... But u gotta use a third party script to see if its running or not

[slate swan]

I am trying to set up channel permissions, but I can't get it to work.
What's wrong with this code?

[slate swan]

c o g s

[maiden fable]

.....?

[slate swan]

reload cogs

[maiden fable]

What if they changed the imports?

[devout iris]

Btw, i'm new in discord.py so i haven't a cogs folder

[slate swan]

then... that sucks

[maiden fable]

(:

[slate swan]

):

[maiden fable]

Why r u getting the channel again if u have the channel in channel var?

[slate swan]

Where can I correct this?

[maiden fable]

Wym

[slate swan]

What do you think should be fixed in this code?

You already have channel, so declaring support_channel is redundant and therefore not needed

[inner geyser]

is there a sol. to this issue?

plz tell me if there is!

[slate swan]

What operating system and version are you using

[inner geyser]

win10, latest version

py 3.9.0

[slate swan]

Download and install this certificate here:
https://crt.sh/?id=2835394

It can be installed by double clicking the file and installing it to Local Computer.

[inner geyser]

uhh, thanks for this
Just out of curosity, why was my code working when I used requests lib, and used Curl directly?

[slate swan]

Well certificate is expired

So you can't access the website

Through SSL

[inner geyser]

uhh I see

[maiden fable]

Ah

No worries

I am also getting that error literally everywhere, even with my API

In the ClientSession class, set the connector kwarg to something like this connector=TCPConnector(ssl=False)

This will connect without SSL

[slate swan]

Why would you not use SSL

Just install the certificate

[maiden fable]

I have tried that also. Didn't work for me at least lol

[slate swan]

Well that's unfortunate

[maiden fable]

But is it a coincidence that all of a sudden it stops working for me on my local PC but it works perfectly on my VPS? I don't think so

Also, when I to to the API URL manually, it shows the SSL Lock symbol, and also it's hosted on repl and the domain on cloudflare. So I don't think that's an API problem

[slate swan]

You realize that the root certificate of Let's Encrypt expired a few weeks ago

So if you don't have an OS update or similar you can't go on multiple websites because of that

Which means old devices are pretty much not able to access these websites

[maiden fable]

Is that what repl uses?

[slate swan]

https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/21/lets-encrypt-root-expiry/

[maiden fable]

Ah thanks

[slate swan]

Is that where your API is hosted or what?

[maiden fable]

Repl: API
Cloudflare: Domain

[slate swan]

Well pretty sure replit uses cloudflare

[maiden fable]

Yup, it does

So u think installing those certs should fix the issue?

[slate swan]

Possible

[maiden fable]

But then I use Windows 10 on my local machine

Sooo I don't really know 😐

[shy junco]

How do i make it so a user can only react once to a message

[slate swan]

You mean use one reaction emote only per user

[shy junco]

yea

they can only react with one emoji on a message

[slate swan]

Use the reaction add event and check if the message already has a reaction from the user, if yes: delete it

[inner geyser]

oo I see

[inner geyser]

lmao

[shy junco]

How do i check if it has a reaction from the user

and how do i remove the previous reaction

[inner geyser]

yea very true, it works completely fine on google colab, but not on local machine

[slate swan]

Docs (have example) & loop

[slate swan]

Docs

[shy junco]

docs?

[inner geyser]

!d discord.Reaction.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

Nope.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

Read the docs

[shy junco]

oh

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

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

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

[inner geyser]

yeah, me nub, this was the one

[inner geyser]

hmm

[slate swan]

Well as I said, it's not an API issue

[inner geyser]

tru

[slate swan]

It's because the root certificate expired, this certificate is stored on each device

And if you can't update your device with security updates or similar, then the certificate won't get updated

[inner geyser]

yeah

[inner geyser]

Yeah I get it

[wanton pebble]

so im tryna do something that lets me use the id on a website so every time i get the user id, it doesn't nothing to the id just affects a database but the error says guild isnt irritable

the line thats wrong is

for member in ctx.guild:

i did enable all intents

[leaden jasper]

did you try testing with print statements

[wanton pebble]

lemme try lmao

[honest rover]

u are looping tru the guild object

not the members of the guild

[wanton pebble]

so how can i go through members?

[leaden jasper]

!d discord.Guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild

class discord.Guild```
Represents a Discord guild.

This is referred to as a “server” in the official Discord UI.

x == y Checks if two guilds are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the guild’s hash.

str(x) Returns the guild’s name.

[honest rover]

guild.members

[leaden jasper]

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members: List[discord.member.Member]```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[shy junco]

for member in guild.members:

[wanton pebble]

thank you both

:)

[honest rover]

oke

[haughty sedge]

does await client.wait_for stops the further code from execution?

[edgy trellis]

for

farmm = client.get_channel(id)

how to specify guild where it should search for channel?

[honest rover]

get_channel is also a method of discord.Guild

so guild.get_channel()

[slate swan]

who know how to make card bot?

[haughty sedge]

wait = await client.wait_for('message',check=Check,timeout=15)
print(wait.content)```
is it going to print after the user sent the message ?

[honest rover]

yeah

[haughty sedge]

alright

[honest rover]

but like any user

literally any message the bot sees

oh wait theres a check nvm

[slate swan]

Hey guys, I'm facing an issue with my bot (discord.py), can someone help me?

Don't ask to ask, just send your question

Of course someone can help you, just not if you don't say for what you need help for

It replies this

message.content

In your embed

As I said

This is the code I'm using

[haughty sedge]

def Check(message: discord.Message):
  return message.channel == 845971398680641572 and message.content == "hello"```
whats wrong ;-;

[slate swan]

^^^^

In your Suggestion field

[haughty sedge]

it always gives timeout error so the Check is not true

[slate swan]

Wow, can't believe it was so simple!

Thanks million times guys!

Oh and, you can also change your if statement @slate swan

Remove the str()

And remove the quotes from your id

So just

if message.channel.id == id

[fading kiln]

why is this not being sent

[slate swan]

Do you have an on_message event?

[fading kiln]

yea

[slate swan]

Edited, thanks.

Do you have pocess_commands(message)

[slate swan]

And is your client variable actually Bot

[fading kiln]

no

its client

[slate swan]

Make it to a bot

If I remember correctly client can't make commands

[fading kiln]

this one ?

[slate swan]

See, it's a bot

[fading kiln]

ok

[slate swan]

Ok, another question.
What command can I use to show live number of reactions to a particular message?

So don't name your variable client

But anyways

[valid perch]

You will need this

[manic wing]

following naming conventions, you should press ctrl + r and replace everything that says client -> bot.

[fading kiln]

so is my variable named client or bot

[slate swan]

In your on_message event add await client.process_commands(message)

[manic wing]

you should make it bot.

[fading kiln]

ok

[slate swan]

And consider renaming your variable to bot

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reactions

Reactions to a message. Reactions can be either custom emoji or standard unicode emoji.

[slate swan]

Returns a list, so get the length of that

[fading kiln]

what this do

[slate swan]

Process your commands

[fading kiln]

lol

if I remove o nmessage

will it work

[slate swan]

Then you don't need it

[fading kiln]

lol

this is called gamer moment

[slate swan]

No?

[valid perch]

You could also just add that line of code..

[fading kiln]

coder moment

[slate swan]

If it's just to print A message has been sent, then you can already remove it

[valid perch]

You can remove it no matter what, is just code

[fading kiln]

yay

works now

[edgy trellis]

why this error occurs and how to fix this

name 'farmm' is not defined

Code

import discord

import asyncio

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">", case_insensitive=True, self_bot=True)

async def farm():
 await farmm.send('.work')
 await asyncio.sleep(3)
 await farmm.send('.dep all')

it is not self bot but test if bot will say bot command will it work

[slate swan]

Please don't think we're dumb, thanks

We won't help for that

hello i just create simple bot with Python, i want to ask about, How My bot can Play/Listinening to something?

[slate swan]

Is there any way I can update this, as well as change Embed color?
I have not worked with Embed messages before.
Though I have written code for editing simple messages, but kinda skeptical with embeds.

This is my code for editing simple messages

[slate swan]

# Setting `Playing ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="a game"))

# Setting `Streaming ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="My Stream", url=my_twitch_url))

# Setting `Listening ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="a song"))

# Setting `Watching ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="a movie"))

[rain ridge]

u wanna build a music bot?

[coral vessel]

No just for command

[rain ridge]

ok so u meant the status

[coral vessel]

Yes that it how i can do that?

[rain ridge]

this

copy the line of code u want as status

not all

[slate swan]

Can someone take a look here, please?

[rain ridge]

to change the color of embed
embed=discord.Embed(title='Your title', description="Your description", color=0x552E12)

[valid perch]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

await edit(content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., suppress=..., delete_after=None, allowed_mentions=..., view=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

Changed in version 1.3: The `suppress` keyword-only parameter was added.

[valid perch]

!d discord.Message.embeds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

dose anybody know what i did wrong

[valid perch]

Send is a method

[rain ridge]

[valid perch]

Ctx isnt defined

Etc

[valid perch]

message.content?

[rain ridge]

yea but i want to cut/slice it and use it in response too

[valid perch]

Well its a string, you can slice it however you want

[slate swan]

yea i see i did i few things wrong

thx

[coral vessel]

i got this NameError: name 'client' is not defined, how i can fix that?

@zinc mural or show file path

[slate swan]

I tried this, but still not working. What's the error?

wrong indents

[sinful willow]

also is there a way i can make my .json file which i got form discohook and make that display as an embed?

[slate swan]

Where?

[slate swan]

seems like the command is inside a command

what indent level is it at?

My message is getting deleted

Without being able to copy it, the indents look good to me. There's an excess indent towards the bottom but it looks good.

[snow cosmos]

discord.Permissions.read_message_history

[slate swan]

i did it like this and it still don't dm people when they join

[snow cosmos]

did you enable member intent

[slate swan]

yea

[snow cosmos]

thats not the correct way

you can just do await member.send(f"Hi {member.name}, how are you !")

[slate swan]

so i dont have to do create_dm

[boreal ravine]

stop copying old tutorials

just send the message to the member object

[inner geyser]

 await varabel.add_reaction('❌')

and i want to check if person who executed the command reacted to that message with that emoji how do i do that?

[inner geyser]

please show the code

[ionic wadi]

I need to fix that piece of code, the rest of the code works fine at all moments.

[inner geyser]

umm, without the code, I can't really help it out

[ionic wadi]

I just need to know how I have to define It If It doesnt recognize the strings

[inner geyser]

u need to use the event on_raw_reaction_add event

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

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

is payload.guild_id a thing

theres no class called Payload

[valid perch]

!d discord.RawReactionActionEvent

anyone?

[mint stump]

is this a bug?

[valid perch]

Doesnt look related to dpy, maybe #❓｜how-to-get-help and then @ me in the channel

[valid perch]

How would it be a bug?

Are you
a) referring to the time differences
b) The multiple sends

[inner geyser]

ok!

[mint stump]

b

[valid perch]

On the assumption your code should send once, it means you have multiple instances of your bot running

[mint stump]

oh, and how to fix it?

[slate swan]

k got it

[valid perch]

Stop running your bot before you run it again

[slate swan]

how to get message id of message that bot send?

do you have developer mode on

[slate swan]

i mean by code

oh my bad

[manic wing]

msg = await messageable.send(...) ... msg.id

where messageable is an instance of discord.abc.Messageable

!d discord.Message msg returns an instance of discord.Message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

class discord.Message```
Represents a message from Discord.

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the message’s hash.

[slate swan]

ok

thanks

btw

how do i send message in
on_raw_reaction_add event?

[mint stump]

anyway how do you do that on Atom

[slate swan]

you can get channel thru , botobj.get_channel(id) and use .send

[long fog]

i get error py @client.event async def on_member_join(member): print("Recognised that a member called " + member.name + " joined") try: await client.send_message(member, newUserMessage) print("Sent message to " + member.name) except: print("Couldn't message " + member.name) embed=discord.Embed title="Welcome "+member.name+"!" description="Welcome to 404." color=discord.Color.green()

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

[long fog]

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
print("Recognised that a member called " + member.name + " joined")
try:
await client.send_message(member, newUserMessage)
print("Sent message to " + member.name)
except:
print("Couldn't message " + member.name)
embed=discord.Embed
title="Welcome "+member.name+"!"
description="Welcome to 404."
color=discord.Color.green()

[manic wing]

you need an instance of discord.abc.Messageable to send a message. (discord.abc.messageable is just a channel that the bot can send messages in). To get this you can use bot.get_channel, then you just send a message to the channel

[slate swan]

the code is outdated , send_message is no longer a thing , you would have to py await member.send( 'your message')

[manic wing]

use 3 ```

[rain ridge]

ooh

[slate swan]

!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.

[manic wing]

why did you put @commands.command

[rain ridge]

uhm uhh

[manic wing]

nice copy & paste.

[slate swan]

cause someone sent it

[rain ridge]

it gives me an error when running timer command

[slate swan]

commands.command is meant to be used in cogs

you should use @bot.command() as per your code

[rain ridge]

i am new to bot development

[slate swan]

all this should be wrapped inside the embed variable

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, title=Embed.Empty, type='rich', url=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

dont copy paste code , look into the docs
if you dont understand anything people here would for sure always help

what that error means?

it stops at this part

"varabel" definde line above

varabel = await arg.send('started loop')

[rain ridge]

i edited it it still says
Command "timer" is not found

[slate swan]

just read the last line

error is already clear

[valid perch]

Timer isnt a command, its just a function

[slate swan]

@rain ridge

[slate swan]

they had py @commands.command() async def timer..... But edited it

[valid perch]

Fun

[slate swan]

i know that is missing permissions for some reason

i made sure it can add reactions so this is what i don't understand

[rain ridge]

ok it worked

[slate swan]

check the channel specific perms

[rain ridge]

so whenever i have to declare a function as a command i have to put
@bot.command()

[slate swan]

in your main file , sure

[valid perch]

Dont forget the ()

[rain ridge]

yea

[slate swan]

Hey I am trying to make a tempban command on dpy with storing values in mongo

    @tasks.loop(seconds=600)
    async def checker(self):
        try:
            all = self.coll.find({})  # return all documents inside the db
            current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
            async for x in all:
                if current >= x["BannedUntil"]:  # do stuff after this
                    unbanuser = z["user_id"]
                    await z.unban(reason="Tempban for new account expired.")
                else:
                    pass
                
        except Exception:
            pass

Here is my checker to loop every 10mins not sure if I am unbanning the user in the right way?

        tempbanned = {"user_id": user.id, "BannedUntil": final_time}

Storing it like this

[slate swan]

what's z?

[slate swan]

               unbanuser = z["user_id"]

Getting the user id for the user from the database?

I am new to dbs thats the reason I am not sure if I am doing it the right way

[slate swan]

you never defined the variable z

any error you get?

[slate swan]

Oh wait so would unbanuser.unban be the right way?

[slate swan]

no , unbanuser would return an int , which has no unban attribute

you need to fetch the user first

[slate swan]

I am yet to implement this code because of a few hiccups.. will try that and get back to you ig

[slate swan]

Isnt that what I am doing in

                unbanuser = z["user_id"]

?

no , sir , you are getting the user id

[zenith zinc]

()

[slate swan]

thats what wrapping is..

[slate swan]

OH right! I am starting to get this now 😭 Sorry for being dumb

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

                    member = discord.Object(id={unbanuser})
                    await member.unban(reason="Tempban for new account expired.")
``` Does that make more sense?

[zenith zinc]

ou sorry wrong member

[zenith zinc]

embed = discord.Embed(title="",description="",color=discord.Color.green())

[slate swan]

yeah sure , but you must use py <THE guild>.unban(member)

since member would be a user , and it has no unban attribute

you can get the guild object by

!d discord.Client.get_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_guild

get_guild(id, /)```
Returns a guild with the given ID.

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.unban I used member.unban since I saw this is it something else?

[zenith zinc]

sorry

[slate swan]

Unbans this member. Equivalent to Guild.unban().
Thats what it said

[zenith zinc]

ok

[velvet crest]

Any clue why guild returned as a nonetype object ? got error while reeboting the bot

[slate swan]

yeah , but Member and User are diffrent objects

[zenith zinc]

{guild.owner.mention} try this

[slate swan]

the owner may be also be nonetype

turn on member intents

[zenith zinc]

jes

[velvet crest]

I have it

[slate swan]

Wait I dont understand- I am not using user? I am using member

[slate swan]

in the code as well?

[zenith zinc]

and me

[slate swan]

the variable name does not change the object type

discord.Object(id = an id) will return the User object

OH

[velvet crest]

Ofc

[slate swan]

how is the variable guild defined?

[velvet crest]

Its the arg of the on_guild_remove event

[slate swan]

can you try printing py guild.name #and guild.owner.name once

you would get the exact point where the error occurs

would be easier to help

[velvet crest]

Makes no sense cause it works for all guilds the bot joined,

/left

[slate swan]

                        member = discord.Object(id={unbanuser})
                        guild = get_guild(int)
                        await guild.unban(reason="Tempban for new account expired.")

Is this what you meant?

[velvet crest]

Might be the owner deleted the guild whilst the bot was in it

[slate swan]

maybe , letme check that condition

[slate swan]

sure , but it should be <bot/client object>get_guild

and it takes the member as an argument

by it i mean unban

Gotcha thanks so much

[slate swan]

nope , it should still work decently

( im using guild.name and guild.owner.name attributes)

[velvet crest]

Ahh im confused too why guild object returned nonetype

lol

[slate swan]

how can you be sure it was guild.name and not guild.owner.name?

[velvet crest]

hmm could be

[slate swan]

!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.

[slate swan]

also use aiohttp instead of requests

[storm sluice]

whats wrong with it?

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='-',help_command=None)```

```py
@bot.command()
async def start(ctx):
  link = await bot.togetherControl.create_link(ctx.author.voice.channel.id, 'youtube')
  await ctx.channel.send(f"Click the blue link!\n{link}")```

[slate swan]

the error says it all

[storm sluice]

but how. i copied it exact the same thing as the doc
https://pypi.org/project/discord-together/

[tall canopy]

hi may i ask how to make the bot react to it own message?

await client.add_reaction('1️⃣')

But like this it say the bot has no attritube to react
Can someone help me?

[bright palm]

Store the message or fetch the message so you can react to it

[tall canopy]

oh okay. im try it .thanks bro .

[slate swan]

you for sure miss something

maybe changing the internals

[cloud dawn]

@slate swan He is for sure missing something but i don't really condone copying code.

[slate swan]

yep

if they could read the docs , instead of just copying the part they need
it would be more helpful

[cloud dawn]

The discord-together is meant to be used in OOP so he hasn't defined togetherControl in self.

It's a weird pypi anyways since it's basically one function.

[slate swan]

or can define a variable for that

in case they dont subclass it

read the error

you havent defined role in else

[zinc mural]

help me pls

I recommend not copying code especially bad code.

[cloud dawn]

You got a cogs folder?

[zinc mural]

yea

[valid niche]

could you share a screenshot of your file structure?

[cloud dawn]

do me a favor and do print(os.getcwd()) all questions will be answered.

Most likely he is executing this code inside his debugger.

[valid niche]

oh also you made those nice intents, but they aren't used, you probably want to pass them to the Bot constructor

Also please use correct naming convention. doing client = commands.Bot is bad naming convention. You should name it bot and not client

[zinc mural]

done

[cloud dawn]

And?

[cloud dawn]

before the error ofc

[cloud dawn]

I think he is going to need a token first..

[slate swan]

it happens in python3.9 if the cog folder is in same directory

[valid niche]

for that i was assuming they just cut it out to hide it, but the user could have very well forgotten to add the code yes

[cloud dawn]

Never had this issue although i use another method of cog loading

[coral vessel]

How to make welcome bot?

[valid niche]

this cog loading code has worked for me since 3.8 and has been tested in 3.10. It has gone over a few iterations of visual improvement but the core functionality remained the same

https://github.com/sebkuip/Tekxitbot/blob/0d43e96546f22e2542c9357610006de58771c79c/pybot.py#L52-L72

[cloud dawn]

How does code not fit in a cog 😂

I use this for loading -> https://github.com/Pandabweer/dispy-discord-bot/blob/main/utils/extensions.py#L13-L30

[valid niche]

things like load and unload won't work if the cog is unloaded, so i made those accessible at all times in the main file

also that on_message is a sort of tag system that works before a command is executed so ye

[cloud dawn]

ahhh that way of fit

[zinc mural]

@cloud dawn doesn't work

[cloud dawn]

eh?

[zinc mural]

it keep showing this

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but you only need to get the cwd

So ignore the error for now

[zinc mural]

cwd?

[cloud dawn]

!d os.getcwd

[unkempt canyon]

os.getcwd

[cloud dawn]

This is also fine

what's the next step

[cloud dawn]

What is the cwd

[zinc mural]

the terminal?

[cloud dawn]

The cwd

[slate swan]

what does your code print

[zinc mural]

did not print anything

it shows the same error

[cloud dawn]

Okay lets do this

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for extension in initial_extensions:
        client.load_extension(extension)

client.run

What does it spam?

[cloud dawn]

Does that dir have a cogs folder?

[slate swan]

you can manually declare a list of cogs and use them to load the extensions

[cloud dawn]

Who manually declares a list of cogs 😂

[slate swan]

lmao carl bot's owner did

the open source version

https://github.com/CarlGroth/Carl-Bot/blob/master/bot.py#L15-L36

    def tempban(self,ctx, user: discord.Member,seconds):
        text = (seconds)
        in_seconds = {'h': 60 * 60, 'm': 60, 's': 1, ' ': 1}
        seconds = sum(int(num) * in_seconds[weight if weight else 's'] for num, weight in
                      re.findall(r'(\d+)\s?(m|s|h)?', text))
        current_time = datetime.datetime.now()
        final_time = current_time + datetime.timedelta(seconds=seconds)
        tempbanned = {"user_id": user.id, "BannedUntil": final_time}
        self.coll.insert_one(tempbanned)

This is how I defined my tempban

on_member_join
    await self.tempban(user.id,bannedday)
TypeError: tempban() missing 1 required positional argument: 'seconds'

However I get this error when I user joins

        now = datetime.utcnow()
        age = now - user.created_at
        days = age.days
        banday = (14 - days)
        bannedday = (banday*24*60*60)

Thats how bannedday is defined

[formal portal]

Hello

how do i ping users using bot

[slate swan]

!d discord.User.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mention

property mention: str```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the given user.

[slate swan]

or discord.Member.mention

[cloud dawn]

This code hurts my soul

[slate swan]

you didnt provide self

[slate swan]

it seems too basic

[silk epoch]

hello how to solve?

[slate swan]

self where?

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py

[silk epoch]

yes but its wrong version

[zinc mural]

@cloud dawn what to do now

[formal portal]

?

[cloud dawn]

Well what do you think is the issue with that cwd?

async def hug(self, ctx):
    await self.bot.say("hugs {}".format(ctx.message.author.mention()))

An example @formal portal. member.mention() should be pinging someone once sent.

[slate swan]

[thin valley]

Or any tutorials? @formal portal

[formal portal]

[slate swan]

[thin valley]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[slate swan]

your token is not valid

[thin valley]

A guide on how to

[cloud dawn]

I could brute force this token

[silk epoch]

my token is valid.

[cloud dawn]

That part is true

[thin valley]

That is really not hard to brute force. You are right with that.

[cloud dawn]

Just generate a new token.

[slate swan]

regenerate it and try again

pip install discord

[silk epoch]

omg

[cloud dawn]

py -m pip install discord.py

[slate swan]

Uh Mass dm? Tos alert- I am not helping

[slate swan]

python splitlines ig? not sure tho

[slate swan]

aha oh shi

[valid niche]

discord.py not discord

[slate swan]

huh? no

[waxen granite]

where can i have a look to paginate?

[slate swan]

if anyone is pretty good at reaction roles can u dm me because i need help with my verification bot

im not getting an error code

[silk epoch]

I just regenerate :/

[valid niche]

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v1.7.3

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

just wont give me role

[valid niche]

the token you passed is not valid

[slate swan]

is ur json set up correctly

[valid niche]

if you click regenerate that means it made a new token and the old token is invalid

[slate swan]

does no one here know how to do reaction roles?

[slate swan]

!pypi paginator

[unkempt canyon]

Paginator v0.5.1

Paginator for SQLAlchemy query object, list or iterable

[valid niche]

use an on_raw_reaction_add event

then just look in a database for what emoji role and message etc

[slate swan]

ive done that im getting no error i just am not getting the role

Wait no thats not right

[tawdry perch]

I do

[slate swan]

look at my code

[slate swan]

.

thats my code there

i get no error but i also get no role

[slate swan]

iirc you do pip install discord might be wrong

[cloud dawn]

Yes you are.

[valid niche]

pip install discord is completely wrong, hence why i said discord.py and not discord

[slate swan]

@waxen granite Do rtfm paginator in dpy server

[slate swan]

Okay!

[formal portal]

and what do i have to do next
