[sage otter]

Consider following in this example

listthing = [{"Case": 1}, {"Case": 2}]

for i in listthing:
    print(f"{list(i.keys())[0]}: {list(i.values())[0]}")

@valid galleon ^^

[pliant gulch]

Can't you just use items

for name, value in dict.items(): ...

[sage otter]

that works too

[final iron]

Can someone link the docs for leaving a guild? (disnake)

[sage otter]

!d disnake.Guild.leave

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Guild.leave

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

Leaves the guild.

Note

You cannot leave the guild that you own, you must delete it instead via [`delete()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Guild.delete "disnake.Guild.delete").

[final iron]

Also one last thing, if I moving from dpy to disnake what changes will I have to make

Apart from refactoring discord to disnake

[pliant gulch]

literally nothing

It's a fork

[final iron]

Just double checking

[soft lynx]

@slash.slash(name="join",
             description="Join a nation of your choice.",
             guild_ids=[877730319434919946], options=[
               create_option(
                 name="country",
                 description="Choose your country.",
                 required=True,
                 option_type=8)])


async def join(ctx: SlashContext, country: discord.Role):

Right now, because I’m using option 8, my bot will allow any role as an argument, how can I restrict that to only certain roles?

[maiden fable]

Cz they use pterodactyl panel, and the owner can literally see everything in the people's servers, even the code (unrelated). I didn't ask much, but could be the owner leaked them or someone from the staff team did 🤷‍♂️

[soft lynx]

also

async def join(ctx, country: str=None): 
    member = ctx.author
    country1 = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name = country)
    await member.add_roles(country1)

im getting the following error - howcome?

[sage otter]

country1 is None

so your utils.get() lookup failed.

[soft lynx]

yeah lol

fixed ty

[sage otter]

What the fuck

elif exists btw

Literally just check for the one and return if not.

[crude crater]

No it won't

[soft lynx]

async def join(ctx, country: discord.Role): 
    member = ctx.author
    await member.add_roles(country)

im getting a new error

[crude crater]

No it doesn't

[crude crater]

No

Yes, I am

Are you one of those as well? Just out of curiosity

[sage otter]

country failed to convert.

[soft lynx]

how do i make it unfail

[sage otter]

Well actually no...

If it failed to convert it would raise commands.BadArgument

[soft lynx]

also, where can i get slash cmd help?

[sage otter]

command arguments are typed as strings only if they arent type hinted in the function signature

[soft lynx]

For slash commands, @sage otter do you know if for option 8, you can specify certain roles as options

[sage otter]

I honestly have no idea or knowledge about slash commands

[crude crater]

I do

[sage otter]

As far as this. country's type shouldnt be a string since you typehinted it to a Role. Im not sure if your interpreter sees something different than what you put there.

[soft lynx]

Yeah, I’m using replit

[slate swan]

how to ask follow-up questions in a discord.py command
?

pls help

[heavy folio]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[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/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

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

[heavy folio]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

if you mean something like getting answers from.user , use wait_for with message as the event

you can use a check to make sure the message is from the command's author

actually i am creating a giveaway cmd so there i want that when i ll trigger that cmd the bot will ask questions such as which channel it ll be hosted, what is the time limit, how many winners and accordinf to the answer it ll execute the rest part of the code

Yeah so you can use it

ok

can u give an example?

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

an example from the docs

ok tysm

[livid hinge]

how do you keep track of the context between the original message and follow-ups ? you just use wait_for directly inside the original command function?

[valid galleon]

so im using client.get_all_members() to get the number of people using the bot, but it returns a list of people, but without commas, so i cannot use len() to get the number of people. how can i fix this?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.users

property users: List[discord.user.User]```
Returns a list of all the users the bot can see.

[slate swan]

len(client.users) ez

[vast gale]

don't do this.

Use the guarding clause concept.

additionally, since you're checking if any of them are true, we can use ors to make it more readable

so I'll show both

brb

[unkempt canyon]

@fierce pelican Please don't try to ping @everyone or @here. Your message has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

[boreal ravine]

ok

[vast gale]

if messages[0] >= 100:
    if Guest in user.roles:
        return
    if Member in user.roles:
        return
    if Moderator in user.roles:
        return
    if Administrator in user.roles:
        return
    if Organizer in user.roles:
        return
    
    await user.add_roles(Guest)

this is the guard clause concept. Each if does not request the last if to exist.

https://maximegel.medium.com/what-are-guard-clauses-and-how-to-use-them-350c8f1b6fd2
(yea its not in python but this is a programming concept which is applicable to all languages)

however, since the result is the same no matter what fails here, we can use some or logic

although...

because we're checking for user.roles we can make it even cooler

I'll show 2 more ways

[boreal ravine]

how do i get the commands of a command group

no

a command group

[vast gale]

@hidden hazel
this is way two ```py
if messages[0] >= 100:
if (
Guest in user.roles
or Member in user.roles
or Moderator in user.roles
or Administrator in user.roles
or Organizer in user.roles
):
return

await user.add_roles(Guest)

[shadow wraith]

i was wondering how people get the full tracebacks with an on_command_error event, it only shows 1-2 actual lines of the error, not a traceback :[

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.group this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.group

@group(*args, **kwargs)```
A shortcut decorator that invokes [`group()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.group "discord.ext.commands.group") and adds it to the internal command list via [`add_command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command").

[vast gale]

!d traceback

[unkempt canyon]

traceback

Source code: Lib/traceback.py

This module provides a standard interface to extract, format and print stack traces of Python programs. It exactly mimics the behavior of the Python interpreter when it prints a stack trace. This is useful when you want to print stack traces under program control, such as in a “wrapper” around the interpreter.

The module uses traceback objects — this is the object type that is stored in the sys.last_traceback variable and returned as the third item from sys.exc_info().

The module defines the following functions:

Similar names: rich.label.traceback, rich.doc.traceback

[shadow wraith]

i've heard about this, but i've never really used it

which means, idk how to use it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vast gale]

IIRC its traceback.format_tb

[shadow wraith]

!d traceback.format_tb

[unkempt canyon]

traceback.format\_tb

traceback.format_tb(tb, limit=None)```
A shorthand for `format_list(extract_tb(tb, limit))`.

[boreal ravine]

use the dir method to see what methods it has, and then you can see how to use it

[shadow wraith]

hey what does limit do

[vast gale]

@hidden hazel way three ```py
if messages[0] >= 100:
for role in user.roles:
if role in {Guest, Member, Moderator, Administrator, Organizer}:
return
else:
# this runs if the loop went all the way through without breaking early
await user.add_roles(Guest)

[boreal ravine]

[boreal ravine]

thanks

[vast gale]

its on context objects as ctx.command.commands

[slate swan]

lol Vscode is better then replit ig?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[shadow wraith]

man, i can't say true, that's a fact 💀

[slate swan]

fact wut?

[shadow wraith]

becuase replit uses a fucking shared ip therefore you can be blocked by discord api

[slate swan]

True

[shadow wraith]

vscode or any ide is better than replit

[slate swan]

ye I just didnt knew how to run a code on it 💀

[shadow wraith]

get a debugger/extension which debugs python or something

anyways, this discussion should go in another channel so talking about this more is what i won't do.

is that in an on_message event?

[bitter kite]

hey, when or how is bot.owner_id set? its always None for me

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=.... , owner_id = id)

though the api should already do it for u

[bitter kite]

that's what I'm wondering about. Even a call to application_info does not set it 🤔

[sick birch]

This could definitely use some rewriting haha

[maiden fable]

Using Python 3.9 or 3.10?

Open a command prompt and do python -V

Oh then use match case

!d match

[unkempt canyon]

match

8.6. The match statement

New in version 3.10.

The match statement is used for pattern matching. Syntax:

match_stmt   ::=  'match' subject_expr ":" NEWLINE INDENT case_block+ DEDENT
subject_expr ::=  star_named_expression "," star_named_expressions?
                  | named_expression
case_block   ::=  'case' patterns [guard] ":" block
```...

[maiden fable]

See this for more information. A better thing for your usecase (:

>>> flag = False
>>> match (100, 200):
...    case (100, 300):  # Mismatch: 200 != 300
...        print('Case 1')
...    case (100, 200) if flag:  # Successful match, but guard fails
...        print('Case 2')
...    case (100, y):  # Matches and binds y to 200
...        print(f'Case 3, y: {y}')
...    case _:  # Pattern not attempted
...        print('Case 4, I match anything!')
...
Case 3, y: 200

An example

Wym

???

!d discord.Member.mention this?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

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

[maiden fable]

Just typehint to discord.Member

user: discord.Member

This will make user a discord.Member object automatically

discord.py does that automatically... You can then do id = user.id

[sick birch]

async def commandName(..., arg: discord.Member, ...):
  arg = ctx.author or arg

Will either be the given mention or the person who sent the command. Of course it'll be the object

It can be a mention, ID, or even a name

$profile Robin
$profile @sick birch
$profile 432643355634171905

All of those will get you the discord.Member object for a certain user

And it's really nice since it's all done behind the hood

[boreal ravine]

the arg variable wll always be ctx.author

[sick birch]

wdym

I meant to give it =None

Mostly just psuedocode though

[maiden fable]

@sick birch that won't take into account, if the person gives it a member

Since u r telling Python to set it to either author or the other user

Meaning... it will become the other user only if ctx.author returns None which is never

[sick birch]

Yeah I meant to set it to None haha

Have the default as it I mean

That's my favourite way to do it when i want it to default to the command author

[dim otter]

How do you make a mute and unmute command using dpy ?

[slate swan]

I want to make this in my code

The -help or /help are in a code block

[sick birch]

```
-help or /help
```

[slate swan]

I can't write this in my code

[slate swan]

Use \n to change line , or a doc string

```\n-help or /help \n```

[pseudo lake]

it only works inside your python string

[heavy folio]

@maiden fable remember i was asking bout the ban command, if i use commands.Greedy it'll appear as [days=1]..., how do i prevent it from happening (so it'll only show [days=1]

[astral quiver]

Does anyone have experience with using the Rich library with Discord.py?

[slate swan]

What's that?

hm = SelectOption(label='h', value='wa')
  menu = SelectMenu(placeholder='hm', min_values=1, max_values=1, options=hm, disabled=False, row=None) 
  await ctx.respond('h', menu)```
error:
hm = SelectOption(label='h', value='wa')
  menu = SelectMenu(placeholder='hm', min_values=1, max_values=1, options=hm, disabled=False, row=None) 
  await ctx.respond('h', menu)

help please
i am using py-cord to make a help menu

view=menu

[astral quiver]

https://github.com/willmcgugan/rich

[slate swan]

Well that would work only in terminal

No colorful texts will be sent on discord , unless u use markdown

+ As in diffs
``` ```fix
or fixs

Etc...

[astral quiver]

Gotcha, I'm trying to get the table output this to pass as an object and print in a channel. I dont care about the coloring.

[slate swan]

I see , well you would have to see how wide the text appears since every device / window has different message widths

[sage otter]

I honestly forgot rich existed

Just a better version of colorama

[astral quiver]

So far passing the table, all I can get the discord bot to print is the object mem reference. This is where I'm stuck, trying to capture the std out and print but that didnt change the outcome.

[slate swan]

still same error
discord.commands.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'placeholder'

[silver pulsar]

Hi guys a beginner(I only know python)here so I wanted to o create a discord bot. How much Python knowledge do i need for it and is there a guide. I've heard theres one library called d.py which was disbanded so i am clueless using which library should I start. Pls guide me or give tutorials if possible.

[slate swan]

what type of bot you wanna make?

[silver pulsar]

All in one

But I would prefer chatbot

As a first project

[slate swan]

no I mean like music,games,economy bot

memes,image,etc

[silver pulsar]

None of these

Chatbot which uses ai to reply/respond

[slate swan]

ohhh

[silver pulsar]

However I can go with the easier option like games or economy for gaining some experience

[slate swan]

do you want slash commands in it?

[silver pulsar]

Both

[slate swan]

oh then learn py-cord

[cedar stream]

And learn from docs

[slate swan]

dp.y disbandned due to discord was making every bot into slash

[silver pulsar]

Ok

[slate swan]

and py-cord is a library which is almost same as d.py but with slash commands

[silver pulsar]

So I don't HV any options?

Except slash commands

[slate swan]

pycord's slash implementations are too bad

[slate swan]

well till april every bot will be slash

[cedar stream]

Yes, if ur bot isnt verified you can still use classic commands

[slate swan]

Not here to bitch about the Library. But disnake and nextcord are doing better

[silver pulsar]

Ok

[cedar stream]

I agree

[slate swan]

i am using py-cord should I change?

i am rn learning about so I can switch

[cedar stream]

Try disnake

[slate swan]

Upto you mate , I'll suggest disnake as it's easy and you get updates quicker

[silver pulsar]

Disnake or nextcord?

[cedar stream]

I use disnake

[slate swan]

Same

[silver pulsar]

Ok

How much Python should Ik?

Like idk oops

[cedar stream]

Are u familiar with asynchronous programming

[silver pulsar]

Nope never heard of

[cedar stream]

Learn that

[slate swan]

you need to learn about async def as its key

[cedar stream]

Synchronous vs asynchronous vs multithreaded vs multiprocessing

Learn those concepts

[silver pulsar]

Ok actually there's a book called python Crash Course I haven't done classes and objects is that ok?

[slate swan]

another thing , don't watch yt tutorials
They are all outdated

[silver pulsar]

Oh ok sure I will learn

[cedar stream]

Or find a quick guide online on oop

[slate swan]

It's fine if you have basic knowledge about atleast what a class is , and how to implement it

[silver pulsar]

I have never even heard abt it

[cedar stream]

And how instances work

Etc.

[slate swan]

You can learn that , not too hard stuff

[cedar stream]

And It’ s hsndy

[silver pulsar]

What's that

[cedar stream]

Handy

[cedar stream]

It’ s part of oop, you will learn that

Basically class is an object that creates new objects, those objects are called instances

[silver pulsar]

In the first place what is object?

[cedar stream]

Everything in python is an object

[slate swan]

This is a Test to know if you are ready to make a bot using discord.py: ```prolog
A: in your words, what is the purpose of a For Loop?
B: what is Blocking? and why do you have to use Async for a discord bot?
C: how do you know if a line of code is inside a Block or Scope (like a Function, Class, For Loop, etc...);
and how do you make that piece of code be outside of the Block or Scope?
D: if you have to make an HTTP Request with your bot, what Libriary would you use?
E: in your words, what is Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and how does it get used in python?
F: what are Fstrings (3.6+) and how can you use them to just get 2 Decimal Places of a Long Float?
G: what is Try-Except, and how can you use it to except Specific Errors?
H: how would you Force to get an Error in the case of not getting one (or atleast know where the problematic line is)?
I: what are the use case of Function Decorators? and what are they really in the background?
J: how would you store Multiple Pieces of Data that are related to more data? (Example: Name1 = James, Name2 = Steve, etc...)

[cedar stream]

For example “hello” is an object created by str object

[silver pulsar]

Ok

[cedar stream]

https://realpython.com/python3-object-oriented-programming/

[silver pulsar]

So I can only answer, A,C,F,G,H ik i am very bad programmer but i rly wanna learn the things which i didn't understand

[silver pulsar]

Thx

[acoustic marsh]

What is a Discord chatbot and how do I find it؟

[astral quiver]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ I was thinking this was the only bot library for discord out there

[slate swan]

if you do , great!
Now you can try to cover the topics you don't know

[silver pulsar]

There's, disnake, nextcord, hikari, pycord the popular ones

[silver pulsar]

Yup sure I will do! :)

[cedar stream]

There are some forks and completely different implementations, there are also libraries for js and other languages, you can even make your own wrapper

[slate swan]

https://PyPi.org/project/disnake
https://PyPi.org/project/nextcord
https://PyPi.org/project/hikari
https://PyPi.org/project/pycord

the libs I love ;)

[silver pulsar]

Why did u even say this now i am interested in making my own wrapper ;(

[slate swan]

All of them are made in python

[astral quiver]

Thanks, that'll be some light reading for me tonight, lol

[cedar stream]

Make it, could be a fun project

[silver pulsar]

Lol how? Web scraping maybe?

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[slate swan]

Requests

[silver pulsar]

O_O

[cedar stream]

How do you think discord.py works

Discord literally exposed their api

[silver pulsar]

Well idk but my guess would be that it uses the token to login into discord and types msgs and do stuff

[silver pulsar]

Wut?

[cedar stream]

You dont even need a wrapper, you can make direct requests

[graceful mulch]

connection timeout
https://stats.uptimerobot.com/GA8lYTBq86
Down for 7 h, 4 min
The reason was Connection Timeout.

Details:The response took so long that the connection timed out.

January 1, 2022, 00:10 GMT +00:00

how to solve this

[cedar stream]

Do you know what happens when you send a message inside discord

[graceful mulch]

IT HAPPENS EVERYDAT

[silver pulsar]

I don't

[slate swan]

This is not replit/uptimerobot support channel.

[graceful mulch]

hey but it is related to discord bot

[upbeat otter]

but the issue isnt related to bots

[graceful mulch]

it is isnt it

[cedar stream]

Your discord client will send a post request to discord server

[slate swan]

you linked your repl and the site badly

[upbeat otter]

no

[slate swan]

Nothing related to discord

[silver pulsar]

Post request? Sorry if I sound a dumbo

[slate swan]

Unless. Your bot was ratelimited

[upbeat otter]

maybe try asking in #web-development but I doubt you'd get an answer here

[cedar stream]

Are you familiar with http

Or tcp

[graceful mulch]

okkkk

[silver pulsar]

Nope

[graceful mulch]

going to replit server

[cedar stream]

Look into that

[upbeat otter]

wow....

[silver pulsar]

Ok

[graceful mulch]

wgat wow u ...

[upbeat otter]

huh?

[silver pulsar]

They r gonna ban u bud lol

[cedar stream]

Yk that replit has a shared ip

[graceful mulch]

ik

[maiden fable]

Uhhh?

[graceful mulch]

why ban me

[upbeat otter]

can you explain about the ip thing too lol, I'm like confused about the ip issues

[silver pulsar]

Cuz replit was made as an online ide not as a server where u host ur discord bots lol

[cedar stream]

Basically multiple bots run on a server with same ip, and they send http requests to discord from same ip, and if one bot gets ratelimited, it will ratelimit all other bots from that ip

[slate swan]

how do you send messages to threads in discordpy?

[maiden fable]

Time to host a spam bot on repl

[cedar stream]

Lmfao

[maiden fable]

Just like u send it in simple channels

[silver pulsar]

Laughing my fkin ass off

[slate swan]

really?

[cedar stream]

🤷🏼‍♂️ probably says in the docs

[upbeat otter]

hm, tysm

[cedar stream]

If It’ s supported

[slate swan]

i think threats were introduced after dpy was discontinued

[cedar stream]

Np

[maiden fable]

I mean, it's also a type of text channel, so yea...

[cedar stream]

Then you need another library

[maiden fable]

No

[slate swan]

im just gonna test

[cedar stream]

It inherits from GuildChannel?

[maiden fable]

Yea iirc

[slate swan]

i want it to show [days=1], not [days=1]...

[slate swan]

ah

[maiden fable]

Show code

[maiden fable]

Thanks :D

[silver pulsar]

threats

[slate swan]

sorry i just woke up after a new years eve party lol

[silver pulsar]

Then why code rn

That too discord bot lol

[maiden fable]

Breh

[heavy folio]

async def ban(self, ctx, member: discord.Member, days: commands.Greedy[int]=1, *, reason: str="No reason provided"):

[maiden fable]

It's his/her wish 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

her :)

there is an event called Discord Bot Hackathon
Participants will make a discord bot on the given topic and would be given points on the basis of creativity, the team/individual with the most points wins would anyone wanna work w me ?

[maiden fable]

And how r u invoking it?

[silver pulsar]

Ok

[heavy folio]

no it's on the help commadn

[maiden fable]

Gonna keep it in mind cool 👍

[cedar stream]

Where is this?

[maiden fable]

I smell The Coding Realm... Hmmm

[slate swan]

in some server it has prizes

[silver pulsar]

Such a cool thing exists well i would love to participate but not rn since idk object oriented programming lol

[maiden fable]

That ... means it can consume many args

[slate swan]

I could have , if I knew python

[silver pulsar]

@slate swan what?

[heavy folio]

i dont want it to show

[slate swan]

It's because of the greedy right?

[maiden fable]

Idk how to fix it ngl

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[silver pulsar]

U just guided me and u say u dunno python like wtf? 😂 😂

[maiden fable]

Same

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

Just .replace("...", "") while sending it ez

[heavy folio]

im using greedy because days is optional, and it must be an int

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Greedy @cedar stream

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Greedy

class discord.ext.commands.Greedy```
A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

```py
@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {}, reason: {}".format(numbers, reason))
```  An invocation of `[p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello` would pass `numbers` with `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]` and `reason` with `hello`...

[heavy folio]

there's another reason argument behind days so if days is not passed in, some error will be raised

[cedar stream]

Ohh, It’ s a converter

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

I copy pasted old messages from hunter

😳 don't Reveal me

[silver pulsar]

Wtf?

[maiden fable]

🤨

[slate swan]

^

[silver pulsar]

😂 😂 😂

[maiden fable]

embed.description.replace(...)

[slate swan]

Indeed

[cedar stream]

Show code

[maiden fable]

U have a space before async def

[silver pulsar]

😂

[maiden fable]

.....?

self, inter

[slate swan]

unlimited memory hmm

[cedar stream]

!indent

[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

[slate swan]

me with 125 mbs.

[maiden fable]

Eh?

[slate swan]

python: can't open file 'bot.pypython': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[maiden fable]

Did u mean bot.py?

[maiden fable]

Not for me tho

[cedar stream]

Show code

[slate swan]

Enslo , it appears like this only for u

[cedar stream]

Ohh

[slate swan]

but idk where is the error i mean

[maiden fable]

[cedar stream]

🤷🏼‍♂️

[slate swan]

They missed a. self , as hunter told

[slate swan]

idk wheres is the error came from

[maiden fable]

I told the problem but okay

[cedar stream]

Whats .pypython

[slate swan]

what did you mention as your bot file file in startup?

[maiden fable]

He most probably did bot.pypython instead of bot.py

[cedar stream]

My guess too

[slate swan]

but idk where fisrtly

It's failing in the ```bash
$python <file>

[maiden fable]

Startup iirc

[slate swan]

The tabs in the left side , one of them is startup

[cedar stream]

Where did u define startup file

[slate swan]

Go there , look-up for a bot file field

i using host for hosting and making in it bot too

Man

[cedar stream]

…

[slate swan]

you didnt pass self

[heavy folio]

is there a built in method to check if a user is not banned or must i iterate through guild.bans()

[slate swan]

You bot file's name is bot.py and you mentioned something weird there

[maiden fable]

Uhhh?

[heavy folio]

sigh json as a db

[slate swan]

that's the only way ig

[heavy folio]

oh ok

[cedar stream]

It’ s probably not in a cog

[maiden fable]

Just see if the user is there in the guild. If he isn't, then iterate through guild.bans, but why will u wanna do that?

Took a new year resolution to use light mode most of the time BTW

[cedar stream]

I dont think It’ s wise to store data in a json, especially in ur use case

[cedar stream]

Poor eyes

[maiden fable]

Facts

[heavy folio]

unban command

if user is not in ban list then

[cedar stream]

!unban

[slate swan]

class Ping(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self._last_member = None

    @commands.slash_command(description="Shows bot ping")
    async def ping(inter):
        await inter.response.send_message(f'Pong! **{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}**ms')``` you should pass self in ping arguments to be able to access the class attributes  ![shrug](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/916709286590152816.webp?size=128 "shrug")

[velvet tinsel]

Using slash commands

💀

[maiden fable]

Then just do await ctx.guild.unban(discord.Object(id)) and if it raises an error, that means either u dont have the perms or the person isn't banned

[heavy folio]

hm

[cedar stream]

Slash cmds are kinda nice

[velvet tinsel]

Excuse me wtf

[maiden fable]

But would be better to iterate through guild.members first since many people like me like to use the unban cmd to try and unban people still in the server

[velvet tinsel]

Cool

[heavy folio]

[cedar stream]

You dont need the * param anymore and you can define the argument type

[velvet tinsel]

what’s so good about making a class for bot

explain

[maiden fable]

PyLance doesn't shout on u when using botvars :DDD

[slate swan]

Custom properties , methods easily

[heavy folio]

how do i check if the user's id is in guild.bans() or not

dont really get it

[velvet tinsel]

Thank

[cedar stream]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

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

Retrieves all the users that are banned from the guild as a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

You must have the [`ban_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.ban_members "discord.Permissions.ban_members") permission to get this information.

[boreal ravine]

Can someone explain to me what Guild.chunk does?

[slate swan]

oh sorry

[maiden fable]

user_banned = [id in [x.user.id for x in bans]]

[heavy folio]

oh that

[boreal ravine]

iterate through it

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.chunk , getting members ig

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.chunk

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

Requests all members that belong to this guild. In order to use this, [`Intents.members()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") must be enabled.

This is a websocket operation and can be slow.

New in version 1.5.

[cedar stream]

Banned users = [ban_entry.user for ban_entry in bans()]

[heavy folio]

i know..

[slate swan]

yeah all the members in te guild

[maiden fable]

Yes. It means, filling the cache with all the members in all the guilds

[boreal ravine]

if i use the cache kwarg does that cache all the members in a guild?

[slate swan]

Yea

But doesn't the bot already does the same for u itself

[cedar stream]

If you set cache to true it will cache all members

[boreal ravine]

o

[boreal ravine]

o

[slate swan]

🤔does not the bot cache members itself?..

[cedar stream]

Does it cache all members?

[slate swan]

It does

if you have member intents

[boreal ravine]

it does, but sometimes get_member fails since a member is not in the cache

[heady sluice]

im sure this question has been asked a bunch already but - what's the best alternative library to discord.py rn?

[slate swan]

Oh I see

[cedar stream]

I remember using guild.get_members and I didnt get every member

[boreal ravine]

discord.py

[maiden fable]

U gotta chunk it. The only thing is, dpy chunks automatically at startup (this is the reason sometimes startup is slow)

[slate swan]

Different opinions
Popular ones : disnake , nextcord , pycord
My suggestion : disnake

[slate swan]

Ahh understandable

[maiden fable]

My suggestion: Don't use any fork and make your own private wrapper

[heady sluice]

appreciate the answer. will do my own research on the differences between them all

[slate swan]

so basically the method is used inside the on_ready too

[heady sluice]

is there a reason in particular that you prefer disnake over the others?

[maiden fable]

No

Before on_ready

[slate swan]

Sure , also if you want a non-discord.py forms -> https://PyPi.org/project/hikari

[slate swan]

Like in on_connect or something?

[maiden fable]

It's triggered when the cache is completed and the bot is connected

[cedar stream]

Could be shit ton of work just to make a bot

[maiden fable]

!d discord.on_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_ready

discord.on_ready()```
Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.guilds "discord.Client.guilds") and co. are filled up.

Warning

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is **not** guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

[maiden fable]

Nope.

[maiden fable]

@slate swan ^^^

[slate swan]

It's well maintained , has latest features
And we love equenos

[heady sluice]

gotcha, thanks!

[slate swan]

I see, thanks

[maiden fable]

I have made a private wrapper for revolt (discord alike) and it took me hardly a day (a day cz I was new to all the websockets and stuff and didn't know anything about those)

[maiden fable]

Equenos*

:DDD

[slate swan]

I mixed it with Equinox ig

[maiden fable]

Lmao facts

[slate swan]

Here

[cedar stream]

Did u handle ratelimiting and caching etc.

[maiden fable]

I did cache, but there ain't any ratelimits for now, since the API and Client are still in beta or smth

[slate swan]

I like revolt , but it's kinda slow atm

[maiden fable]

Facts

[cedar stream]

Ohh okok

Ill take a look at dpy source code

[maiden fable]

So yea, for now, its (the wrapper) sort of completed... Tho the API is HEAVILY incomplete, like the member join and stuff events don't return the whole User object and just the User ID, soooo

[slate swan]

The ids are kinda weird lmao

Like they ain't integers

[heady vector]

can i ask someting?

how to create python discord command

all script that i use wasn't work

[slate swan]

can you show your script , and the issue u faced

[maiden fable]

Facts

[slate swan]

{ctx.author.mention} doesnt work anymore can someone tell me why

it does , show code

k

import os
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') #bot's prefix

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot)) #tells us that our bot is online

@bot.event #responding to messages
async def on_message(message):
    message.content = (message.content.lower()) #makes all messages lowercase, from the bot's perspective
    if message.author == bot.user: #to not respond to bots
        return
    if "quit" in message.content:
        await message.channel.send("{ctx.author.mention} hello mf") #response



bot.run

@slate swan

wait

i think i have to import right?

[pseudo notch]

hello, I am new to discord.py

[slate swan]

o

[pseudo notch]

i would like to code a bot

[slate swan]

what type

[pseudo notch]

which bot type?

[slate swan]

ya

[pseudo notch]

hmm, should have some moderation commands, utility

[slate swan]

ok

@pseudo notch i reccomend read discord.py docs

[pseudo notch]

oh sure

can i have the link?

[slate swan]

ok

@pseudo notch https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#getting-started

[slate swan]

bot.run("token")

[pseudo notch]

thank you

[slate swan]

ik

Oh so u did it

obviosuly im not gonna show token

[near sail]

Where's ctx

[slate swan]

{ctx.author.mention} doesnt work

[near sail]

It's not defined anywhere

[slate swan]

Use f

im stupid LOL

And CTX.is not defined

It would be message.author.mention

i forgot to define im dumb asf

[pseudo lake]

because you are getting message not ctx

message.author.mention

[slate swan]

Indeed

[pseudo lake]

also just do

    if message.author.bot:
        return None #to not respond to bots```

it returns a bool if message.author is a bot

where True = a bot, and false isnt

[boreal ravine]

hey I know you from TCR

[pseudo notch]

is there any good yt tutorial of discord.py

[pseudo lake]

whats tcr ?

[boreal ravine]

🤔

[slate swan]

TCR , the coding realm?

[boreal ravine]

Read github examples

[slate swan]

Right

[pseudo lake]

oh my brother loves to talk there ig

[slate swan]

docs > yt

[pseudo lake]

thats cool !

[boreal ravine]

https://vcokltfre.dev @pseudo notch

[pseudo notch]

ty

[slate swan]

all of them are outdated or just bad tbh

from what I've seen

is vco's tutorial updated with 2.x?

[pseudo lake]

do you know any python ?

[pseudo notch]

i am new to coding

[pseudo lake]

then consider learning python first!

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[slate swan]

id recommend to do some other simple projects and learn python first

[pseudo lake]

coding a discord bot is not a beginner friendly project

[pseudo notch]

oh

[slate swan]

More like a trap you would like to fall into

[slate swan]

Tic tac toe is

[boreal ravine]

Never ask in the discord.py server about dpy questions if your still a beginner :^)

[slate swan]

Ye

[pseudo lake]

yeah they'll flame you badly

[slate swan]

Ye I’m not best at python so I would know XD

[slate swan]

based d.py server

Fr

[pseudo lake]

a key to helping others is maintaining a kind behaviour and patience

ops a typo

[slate swan]

What’s user mention again bc I cba defining the stuff

Straight to the function lol

[pseudo lake]

message.author.mention , where message.author is the author object and .mention is the property

[slate swan]

Kk

[slate swan]

it gets tiring real quick seeing so many people not know how to define a variable

🗿

i've seen people who dont know how to create a .py file

[slate swan]

💀

[pseudo lake]

everyone starts somewhere

[slate swan]

True

I try to help them but sometimes the error is so easy I just feel the need to do resources like syntax error or variable

[pseudo lake]

on that case try teaching them the meaning of the error. but lets keep it on topic

[slate swan]

Ye

[cedar stream]

Worst are those that refuse to read the docs after you give them a link and they send something completely off afterwards

[slate swan]

"discord.py docs are too hard"
"its not in my language"
are the best excuses existing

if you find the docs hard, maybe learn how to read them before trying to make a bot

async def kick(ctx...
   discord.Member.kick
``` :troll:

💀

[cedar stream]

Yes, and afterwards they send some code that doesn’t make sense and ask if it will work

[slate swan]

in my opinion , discord.py's docs are clean and well categorised like you can just lookup for a object u want and you get a list of all the object's attributes and methods on the go

[cedar stream]

They are best docs I ever read

[slate swan]

async def import(member, ctx
  ctx send "hello"
)

import

will this work

[slate swan]

my reply to them : im not an interpreter

[cedar stream]

LMFAOOO

[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.

[cedar stream]

HAHAHA

[vale wing]

How to make slash command accept list of arguments (eg. list of roles) in disnake?

@bot.slash_command()
async def addroles(inter, user: disnake.Member, *roles: disnake.Role)```
doesn't work

[slate swan]

make multiple options

[vale wing]

How

[slate swan]

what library is that?

[cedar stream]

Make them pass a string and split the string

[slate swan]

disnake

[vale wing]

Disnake yes

[vale wing]

I think there's a better method than this

[cedar stream]

You can get role mentions from a message

[vale wing]

I know that

[cedar stream]

Then do that

[slate swan]

async def give(ctx, member, amount):
      with open('users.json', 'r') as f:
        users =  json.load(f)
        await add_points(users, member, amount) 
      with open('users.json', 'w') as f:                      
        json.dump('users', 'f') 
      await ctx.send(f'given {member} {amount} programming points')``` this command dosent working  i need to re run my bot to show the error cuz my friend made a lot of spam

[boreal ravine]

old code

[slate swan]

i dont quite remember the new way to do that , but in the old method ( dont know if it still works ) py @slash_command( name = 'prefix' , description='Change prefix for the server', options = [ Option(name='newprefix' , description='The new prefix for the server',type=OptionType.string , required=True) ] ) is how you could add options

[vale wing]

I need the discord to do like this that's why I am searching for a better method

[slate swan]

d! usermetion

[cedar stream]

Custom converter ig

[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.

[vale wing]

Ight

There must be a way without custom converters that's why I am asking

[cedar stream]

Why wouldnt u use a custom converter?

[vale wing]

Because I need discord to hint roles

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

add {} to your JSON file

[slate swan]

Would f’<@{author.user.id}>’ work

('users.json', 'r') change it to {'users.json', 'r'}

[cedar stream]

author.mention

[slate swan]

author.user is not a thing

[slate swan]

Kk

[slate swan]

why.....

[upbeat otter]

members are mention through ids with

<@member_id>

[pseudo lake]

well i suggest using arrays and append dicts inside them.

afterall dont use json as a database 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat otter]

temporary variables

[slate swan]

i wanna mention user who did command so wouldnt work

[upbeat otter]

hmm yeah, mongo or SQL's

[upbeat otter]

ctx.author.mention ;-;

[slate swan]

LOL

i cba define

[pseudo lake]

you got the author so why are you trying .user ?

[pseudo lake]

whatever that fits your needs.

[slate swan]

o ye XD

[slate swan]

but why

[slate swan]

didnt see that

[pseudo lake]

because its easier to append data into.

thats if your willing to use json to store temp data. which isnt suggested

[cedar stream]

You can store it on disk

[upbeat otter]

hmm...yeah that's another issue

[cedar stream]

Why not store it in ram

[pseudo lake]

well if you store it in ram then the bot crashes or gets into a restart or even goes offline. all of those data would be gone forever

[slate swan]

mabe

[cedar stream]

Yes but It’ s temporary data, isnt it?

[pseudo lake]

well in most cases you want to add stuff to the json file while the program is running. like user leveling up and etc, if you did that in ram you'd need some sort of dict that stores stuff into ram. therefore if anything happens that causes the bot to restart the dict would go back to whats it original value was. which is most likely an empty dict

[cedar stream]

If you are hosting a bot on a site that makes a docker image from ur code and creates new docker container every time u restart the process json wouldn’t be too useful

Best bet is to use a db

[slate swan]

🏃‍♂️ mongodb /pgsql would be great choice in that case

[cedar stream]

Mongo is probably cheaper

[slate swan]

my host can save data , but its a small bot so i simply use sqlite3

ill move to pgsql later

[eager trail]

How do i get user from reactions?

[cedar stream]

!d 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]

raw event or on_reaction_add?

[eager trail]

num 2

[pseudo lake]

well thats what i suggest

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_reaction_add , the 2nd arg

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

discord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") instead.

Note

To get the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Reaction.message "discord.Reaction.message").

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

Note

This doesn’t require [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

[cedar stream]

!d discord.Reaction.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.users

async for ... in users(*, limit=None, after=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") representing the users that have reacted to the message.

The `after` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

Examples

Usage

```py
# I do not actually recommend doing this.
async for user in reaction.users():
    await channel.send(f'{user} has reacted with {reaction.emoji}!')
```...

[pseudo lake]

thats pretty hard to maintain and a bit, useless

[cedar stream]

I agree with that

[cedar stream]

Yes, but I saw the site he hosts his bot on does uses containerisation

[slate swan]

I might sound stupid but how do you define = f”{ctx.author.mention}

[cedar stream]

@eager trail see if that is appropriate for ur use case

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[slate swan]

@cedar stream see im doing test ping command but i want to ping user doing command

[eager trail]

oh okay and what should i do?

[slate swan]

ctx.author.mention doesnt seem to work

[cedar stream]

await ctx.send(ctx.author.mention)

U have to send it

[cedar stream]

Read the docs

Click the link

[eager trail]

um okie

[pseudo lake]

can we see the command ?

[slate swan]

k

await message.channel.send(" f'{ctx.author.mention}, pong")

[cedar stream]

Send the whole function

With decorators

[slate swan]

kk

        await message.channel.send(" f'{ctx.author.mention},pong")```

[pseudo notch]

how to delete this bot-main

[pseudo lake]

well. that isnt a command

[pseudo lake]

right click on it and delete

[heavy folio]

use the command decorator, not using on_message

[pseudo notch]

theres no option to delete

[heavy folio]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

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

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

[pseudo lake]

again you are using ctx.author.mention, use message.author.mention if your on an on_message event

[heavy folio]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command and this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command

class discord.ext.commands.Command(*args, **kwargs)```
A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

These are not created manually, instead they are created via the decorator or functional interface.

[slate swan]

ok

[cedar stream]

Replace ctx with message

[pseudo lake]

i suggest showing the full coroutine

[slate swan]

ok

[pseudo notch]

how to install py

[slate swan]

bot replys f'{message.author.mention}, and not @slate swan

[slate swan]

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[pseudo lake]

remove the f string

[cedar stream]

Cus u sent “f’{mention}’, pong”

[pseudo lake]

just have message.author.mention 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

do you have something like .send("f"{message.member.mention}"

[cedar stream]

What os are u using

[pseudo notch]

windows

[cedar stream]

Yes they have exactly that

[cedar stream]

I think u have to do it in Microsoft store

[slate swan]

!d str.format

[pseudo notch]

oh

[cedar stream]

I’ m not sure tho, I dont use windows

[pseudo lake]

dont suggest this.

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[pseudo notch]

i have created discord bot and invited to my server

[slate swan]

f strs are more preferable

yes

[pseudo notch]

should i use vsc for coding?

[cedar stream]

It’ s personal preference

[slate swan]

Still the same

[pseudo notch]

ok

[slate swan]

its a great choice , if you want to use something meant for python specifically you can go for pycharm

[pseudo lake]

just show us the full Coroutine please.

[pseudo notch]

how to delete this bot-main

[slate swan]

@pseudo lake ig best thing to do is <@{message.author.id}>

[slate swan]

Bruh

[slate swan]

right click on bot-main , delete file

[cedar stream]

Ctr + delete 🤷🏼‍♂️

[pseudo lake]

this channel is for questions related to discord bots

[slate swan]

Right click > delete

[pseudo lake]

that would work but still. can we see the coroutine

[slate swan]

or if you are on linux , you can use ctrl +q to delete the file ( dont)

[pseudo lake]

the function or the event you have that code on

[pseudo lake]

you can see the windows button on the bottom left side

[cedar stream]

Lmfao

[slate swan]

Idk

[cedar stream]

…

[slate swan]

Ok

Lol

[pseudo lake]

uh not exactly what i'm looking for

[pseudo notch]

should i create a folder for my bot?

[cedar stream]

Yes every project should be in It’ s own directory

[pseudo lake]

a coroutine is a function that has async before it like wise

async def coroutine(arguements):
  """
  this right here is a coroutine and needs to be awaited
  """
  ...```

[slate swan]

that isnt the correct shortcut either , its used for closing windows

import os
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') #bot's prefix

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot)) #tells us that our bot is online

@bot.event #responding to messages
async def on_message(message):
    message.content = (message.content.lower()) #makes all messages lowercase, from the bot's perspective
    if message.author == bot.user: #to not respond to bots
        return
    if "ping" in message.content:
        await message.channel.send(" <@{message.author.id}> pong")```

[slate swan]

we said start with something simple not a discord bot

[pseudo lake]

oh lmao use f strings

[slate swan]

!e ```py

how to use f strings

a = 'apple'
print(f"i ate an {a}")```

[unkempt canyon]

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

i ate an apple

[slate swan]

lol k

[pseudo notch]

[pseudo notch]

so what should i start?

[slate swan]

i know what strings are

[pseudo lake]

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') #bot's prefix

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot)) #tells us that our bot is online

@bot.event #responding to messages
async def on_message(message):
    message.content = message.content.lower() #not sure why you needed to make it a tuple
    if message.author == bot.user: #to not respond to bots
        return
    if "ping" in message.content:
        await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention} pong")```

then why dont you use them

[cedar stream]

There is a f missing

[slate swan]

o

[slate swan]

so , why dont use add the f there?

[slate swan]

bc im dumb asf

can relate

[pseudo lake]

also if you really wanted to be a bit fancy

[slate swan]

I don’t like fancy lol

[cedar stream]

LMFAOOO

[slate swan]

less fancy faster code smh

not true

[slate swan]

Leave me alone doggy

[cedar stream]

By fancy they probably meant cleaner

[pseudo lake]

its more readable and a bit faster

[cedar stream]

Like higher level

[pseudo lake]

yeah

[slate swan]

number : int = 1 
string : str = "heh"
``` ```
number = 1
string = 'heh'``` the first one is fancier yet faster

[cedar stream]

Yes

[slate swan]

cause the interpreter wont need to identify the data type of those variables itself

[slate swan]

I don’t wanna start my 2022 by getting laughed at a dog

[cedar stream]

Yes It’ s alr defined in compile time

[slate swan]

Anyone on vs code how do you keep your project on 24:7

[pseudo lake]

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') #bot's prefix

@bot.event 
async def on_ready():
    """
    A listner that waits for the bot to be online
    ---
    Arguments -> None
    """
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))

@bot.event 
async def on_message(message):
    
    """
    A listner that listens for messages
    ---
    Arguments -> None
    """
    if "ping" in message.content.lower() and not message.author.bot:
        await message.channel.send(f"{message.author.mention} pong")
        # mentioning the user by using the class method message.author and the propterty .mention```

[pseudo lake]

use a hosting site 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

What one you Recommended

[cedar stream]

Nvm, python cant do that

[pseudo lake]

are you looking for a free one ?

[slate swan]

Ya

I can do paid but preferably free

[pseudo notch]

main.py 1

[pseudo lake]

theres epikhost and railway app

[slate swan]

Yea ok

[pseudo notch]

any error?

[pseudo lake]

you didnt install discord

[pseudo notch]

.

[slate swan]

Bruh

[cedar stream]

Kinda hard ti find

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py

[slate swan]

He means you didn’t install discord.py

[pseudo lake]

i found some decent ones

[pseudo notch]

ok

[cedar stream]

Fr?

[pseudo lake]

please learn some python before dealing with packages like discord.py

[cedar stream]

Not heroku or repl?

[slate swan]

@pseudo lake also I normally use repl but with vs do you need to use .env to private token

[pseudo lake]

nope. i use railway.app for my database hosting and epikhost for my bot hosting its a vps btw

[cedar stream]

Free vps?

[slate swan]

Ye

[pseudo lake]

you can do whatever you want , you can link your github account with epik host and have it auto pull aswell

[cedar stream]

For how much time

[pseudo lake]

yeah

[pseudo lake]

forever lmao

[cedar stream]

Do u need a credit card?

[pseudo lake]

but railway has some rules

[pseudo lake]

nope

[cedar stream]

Dumb ones?

[slate swan]

@pseudo lake https://epikhost.vercel.app/ ?

[pseudo lake]

not really. your total stuff worked should cost less than 5 dollars a month which is a bit of a high limit for bots that arent in much servers

[pseudo lake]

yeah. altho you would need to join there server to make an account

[slate swan]

i dont mind

[cedar stream]

Ohh, that is cool

[pseudo notch]

i am not able to install discord.py pip install discord.py

[cedar stream]

I hosted a bot on gcp and it cost me less than 1€ per month

[cedar stream]

are u in a virtual environment

[pseudo notch]

whats that

[cedar stream]

U should learn python b4 making bots

[slate swan]

@pseudo lake when I click start host it says login no sign up

[slate swan]

Do you know the power shell?

Paste in there and tap enter

[pseudo lake]

yeah lets just wait for the mods to whitelist the server

[pseudo notch]

ok

what about cmd?

`pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the

[cedar stream]

What if everyone starts using that and they start charging for it

[pseudo lake]

well i've got no clue

[cedar stream]

Hiw do those sites make profit?

[slate swan]

by stealing your data

they do a little trolling

[cedar stream]

?

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

Yo wtf

[cedar stream]

Trolling?

[slate swan]

ads

and afk pages from where you earn points to host your bot

[pseudo lake]

not sure tbh

[eager trail]

!d discord.Status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Status

class discord.Status```
Specifies a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") ‘s status.

[slate swan]

what host is that?

[slate swan]

epikhost i think

ic

@pseudo lake hwo to host vs code with it

[pseudo lake]

you use github. thats what i currently have

[slate swan]

i got bot token ttho

[pseudo lake]

use env

!pip env

[unkempt canyon]

env v0.1.0

Environment Variables for Humans

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

definitely no profit haha 😳

they totally don't steal your data

[pseudo lake]

i know the owner personally.

i'm using it myself for hosting

they dont ask for any data btw

beside an email

without a password btw 🤷‍♂️

they make the password for you

[slate swan]

you can use envs

and get the env using os module

!d os.getenv

[unkempt canyon]

os.getenv

os.getenv(key, default=None)```
Return the value of the environment variable *key* if it exists, or *default* if it doesn’t. *key*, *default* and the result are str.

On Unix, keys and values are decoded with [`sys.getfilesystemencoding()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.getfilesystemencoding "sys.getfilesystemencoding") and `'surrogateescape'` error handler. Use [`os.getenvb()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.getenvb "os.getenvb") if you would like to use a different encoding.

[Availability](https://docs.python.org/3/library/intro.html#availability): most flavors of Unix, Windows.

[slate swan]

@slate swan can u make quick vid how to setup

[slate swan]

setup your bot on a host ?
its easy , just make a python server and upload your files there

[pseudo lake]

read the docs alex if you need help with a certain point you can just tell us

[pseudo lake]

i suggest github.

[slate swan]

github ofcourse is better but if you want to like change something in the code , which u dont want to reflect on the repo..

[slate swan]

ok

[pseudo lake]

lmao you dont autocommit and push you know that ?

[slate swan]

well i never tried using a git repo for hosting , just uploaded the files instead

so no idea

[quick gust]

fair enough, you can choose if u want to push or not, before that u can test it locally aswell

i find it pretty useful

[boreal ravine]

Is there anything wrong about this? ```py
limit = 3

await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit, check=lambda m: m.author==self.bot.user)

[slate swan]

https://youtu.be/2qh3oa-6tbA @pseudo lake

[slate swan]

its because only 1 out of 3 messages were from the bot

[cerulean heart]

how can I get a list of all nitro users in the server?

[slate swan]

you cant

[slate swan]

sus

you can get number of boosters in the server

[cerulean heart]

like can I check how many people have animated pfp

[slate swan]

!d discord.Asset.is_animated

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.is\_animated

is_animated()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool "(in Python v3.9)"): Returns whether the asset is animated.

[slate swan]

i think i know what hes up to

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.premium_subscribers

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.premium\_subscribers

property premium_subscribers: List[discord.member.Member]```
A list of members who have “boosted” this guild.

[cerulean heart]

?

[maiden fable]

This (;

@cerulean heart

[boreal ravine]

O

[slate swan]

isnt it the boosters only?

grab all nitro users to send a scam

[maiden fable]

Oh wait yea

[cerulean heart]

its only for boosters

[maiden fable]

Misread the question

[pseudo notch]

which is the latest version of python

[cerulean heart]

im not doing anything like that

[slate swan]

3.10 has been released recently

[pseudo notch]

ty

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.premium_since

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.premium\_since

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC when the member used their “Nitro boost” on the guild, if available. This could be None.

[slate swan]

3.11 is in beta

[maiden fable]

This (:

[cerulean heart]

how can I check all members to see who has animated pfp

[maiden fable]

U can loop through guild.members

[slate swan]

iterate thru guild.members , and check if member.avatar.is_animated

what version of dpy are u using?

is it possible to make a music bot without using youtube-dl , i cant seem to find any methods

lavalink

[cedar stream]

Is it neutral?

[cerulean heart]

python 3.8.2

[cerulean heart]

could you tell me how to do that?

[slate swan]

discord.py version

[mental kraken]

It's not possible, since slash commands UI doesn't support arrays yet. We should wait for further API updates

[pseudo lake]

print(discord.__version__)

[cerulean heart]

its 1.5.1

is discord.py installed?

[cold sonnet]

yes?

[pseudo notch]

.

[cold sonnet]

.

[cold sonnet]

you should update that...

[cerulean heart]

Will do

[cerulean heart]

Can anyone tell how to do this?

[slate swan]

no idea about old version of dpy , in v2.x it works with member.avatar.is_animated

bot.run(os.getenv[TOKEN]; sytax error why tho

you should actually upgrade or shift to a fork

[cold sonnet]

for loop

[slate swan]

its getenv('TOKEN')

or , environ['TOKEN'] , dont mix em

[slate swan]

im using replit

free host

my answer remains same

u didnt close the brackets too

@slate swan whats unexpected eof

[pseudo notch]

whats the command to make bot online

[quick gust]

are you talking about bot.run()?

[slate swan]

run the file

[pseudo notch]

ig

[slate swan]

show code

[knotty gazelle]

The TOKEN in bot.run needs to be a string

[slate swan]

im using env repl

[silk mauve]

Does {ctx.guild.boosts_level} exist?

[knotty gazelle]

try it

[silk mauve]

If not, what is it?

[slate swan]

close the bracket

at the end

[glacial bridge]

.

@slate swan

[silk mauve]

Does someone know?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.premium_tier

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.premium\_tier

The premium tier for this guild. Corresponds to “Nitro Server” in the official UI. The number goes from 0 to 3 inclusive.

[slate swan]

free host

[slate swan]

indeed , replit is too bad to use

but u can avoid the ratelimit

kill 1 in the shell gives u a new ip adress

[glacial bridge]

Up to you, just pointing it out

There’s other options

[knotty gazelle]

@glacial bridge what do you use?

[slate swan]

normally i use vs code

[glacial bridge]

I use PyCharm to write the code, the I connect to my Raspberry Pi through ssh and host my bots on there

Though I had a Rpi laying around, so a cheap host might be better

If you really need a free one, I heard heroku is free (but no free host will be without its downsides)

[knotty gazelle]

I also have 2 raspberry pi's

[glacial bridge]

You can use them to host

[knotty gazelle]

But do you keep them on 24/7?

[glacial bridge]

Just transfer necessary files to them, then use screen to run them 24/7

I can tell you more in DMs

[knotty gazelle]

pls

my dms are opn

[silk mauve]

Use Epikhost

Its free and there is always help available

[pseudo lake]

https://discord.gg/2asvMKKJ

i indeed vouch for welp.

[pseudo lake]

host them on the raspberry pi insead.

[slate swan]

Free host?

[pure plover]

Can anyone tell how to make an afk command in discord.py

@slate swan @pseudo lake @silk mauve @knotty gazelle @glacial bridge

[bitter depot]

!mute 783910297785335808 6h You were told to stop spamming.

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied mute to @pure plover until <t:1641064823:f> (5 hours and 59 minutes).

[silk mauve]

wtf

[glacial bridge]

Yep I’m showing him how 👍

[untold token]

Bruh lmfao

[untold token]

Epikhost is good? The free tier?

[silk mauve]

Yeah, it is amazing

Very very simple
