[blazing lynx]

somebody help my error pls

[quick gust]

just use their animal endpoint instead of 2 different endpoints

[outer violet]

alr

[slate swan]

the second website gives a 404 response

[grim oar]

https://some-random-api.ml/endpoints yeah there aint any red panda facts

[slate swan]

🥇 🥈 🥉

how do i make the bot say the local timezone

[quick gust]

make your own medals till 10

[slate swan]

yea but you can still use it for top 3 people , ive seen bots doing it

[slate swan]

^^

[quick gust]

these type are simple and easy to make

[slate swan]

there actually is in the docs though

[quick gust]

so something like that only

[pliant gulch]

Top 10 get medals? Sounds like pity medals kek

[quick gust]

yeah ig they want uniformity in the leaderboard

or u could give them something else instead of metals

medals*

[grim oar]

theres this (as infermwafnwa) said https://some-random-api.ml/animal/red_panda it has facts and images both so yeeaa it can be used

[slate swan]

amari bot

[quick gust]

vouch

[slate swan]

indeed

[grim oar]

i am a helper in that api's support server hehe

[quick gust]

dank member has a simple 🔷 for the rest of the users

np

[slate swan]

what db do you use?

will be pretty much of hard work then

[final iron]

You mean aiosqlite?

[slate swan]

aiosqlite is the wrapper , sqlite3 is th database

you should shift to aiosqlite , since it fits with the async syntax and is non blocking

[final iron]

^

Nope

[slate swan]

you wont have to learn anything new , just adding some awaits will do the work

[quick gust]

nope, shouldn't

[quick gust]

.

[final iron]

You just need to add some awaits

[slate swan]

it will make your bot non-blocking

so if someone uses a command which uses sqlite3 , you bot doesnt freeze

[final iron]

You want to make your code as async as possible

[slate swan]

do you understand the term blocking?

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[slate swan]

okimii tha saviour

[final iron]

That's is a very large embed

[slate swan]

you should explain what is sync and async is

well well well , if they make discord bots they might be already familiar to async

!pypi Db

[unkempt canyon]

db v0.1.1

Databases for Humans

[slate swan]

i mean they should know the difference

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[slate swan]

yeah ofcourse

[slate swan]

ok

Does anyone know how to replicate yagpdb's controlled randomizer?

[slate swan]

should show them how it blocks with time.sleep thats how i learned what blocking was

[final iron]

pip install aiosqlite if that's what you mean

[slate swan]

I tried to replicate it, but my solution won't work.

[final iron]

It's just a wrapper for the sqlite3 db

[slate swan]

sql = db language
sqlite = db
aiosqlite = async instance of the sqlite db

basically , using await before everything you did with sqlite3
sqlite3 ```py

connecting

sqlite3.connect(....

executing cursor/db

cursor/db.execute(....

**aiosqlite** ```py
# connection
await aiosqlite.connect(....
# executing
await cursor/db.execute(.....
``` same goes for `commit` , `fetchone` and `fetchmany` too

the queries remain name

*same

[pliant gulch]

More like aiosqlite is an async driver for sqlite

[slate swan]

@hidden hazel remember coros need await

def function():
    print("sync function")

#calling the function
function()

if it were a coro it would be

async def asyncfunction():
    print("async function")

#calling the function
await asyncfunction()

[slate swan]

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you can use multiple dbs , or multiple tables in the same db

theres dbs that use servers like postgresql

[pliant gulch]

You should use a single database, and a redis cache

[slate swan]

whats redis cache?

[pliant gulch]

That's what a lot of big corps use, and for good reason

[slate swan]

!pypi redis

[unkempt canyon]

redis v4.1.0

Python client for Redis database and key-value store

[pliant gulch]

A really good tool for caching

[slate swan]

ah ic

[slate swan]

ill assume for not putting too much load on the database , right?

im gonna slack on jarvide tomorrow and learn sql dont tell caeden

[pliant gulch]

Yep, good for taking some load off your database

[slate swan]

😂

[pliant gulch]

Also slows down latency if your accessing through memory via redis

[slate swan]

you know how he is

[pliant gulch]

redis is amazing, crazy fast

Strong recommend

[slate swan]

indeed the announcement yesterday lmao

[final iron]

[slate swan]

smh i got bullied by snowy for like 7 spacing errors 😔

well when u run it , you actually get to know if thats an error or its normal

[pliant gulch]

Spacing errors?

Did you make indentation errors kek?

[slate swan]

no

spacing errors in params smh

i was in a hurry 😔

🤔 how can spacing in params get you an error? example pls

[slate swan]

nothing i just wasnt following pep8 smh

😔

use black ez

param(self, ctx,*,something)

he bullied me for something like this

😔

lmao

[pliant gulch]

Oh yea that is really triggering

[slate swan]

shut up

no its not

he even made me read pep8 from top to bottom😔

[pliant gulch]

I wouldn't blame him ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

I WAS IN A HURRY AND IT WAS 3AM😔

[slate swan]

the pain

[slate swan]

and i already knew it😔

im going to sleep gn guys

db1 = # connect to db from which to transfer data
db2 = # connect to db in which data is to be transferred

# get all data from db1
db1.execute("SELECT * FROM tablename")
data_tuple = db.fetchall()``` and then you can write all the data from db1 to db2 using a loop

or wait there's an easier way

working on a ping command how do I get it to quote the before edit

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx: commands.Context):

[jaunty wraith]

Can anyone tell me why my code isnt working

[slate swan]

im trying to make a welcome message get sent to dms but it wont work and the error says fun object has no attribute 'member'

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        print("Welcome message sent in DMs.")
        languages = random.choice(langs)
        embed = discord.Embed(
            description="WELCOMEEEEE"
        )
        embed.set_author(name=f"{languages} {self.member.name}!", icon_url=self.member.avatar_url)
        await member.send(embed=embed)```

can someone help?

[jaunty wraith]

Ill try

[slate swan]

ok

[near sail]

self represents the instance of that class called 'fun'

[lucid gazelle]

hiii

can someone help me on this? Thanks

[jaunty wraith]

Dont you need to put commands,context ext inside of the ctx ()

@lucid gazelle

[near sail]

What do you expect as self.member.name? if you want the bot's instance you probably may have passed it as self.bot so use self.bot.name. Or if you want the joined member's name in that event use member.name

[lucid gazelle]

okii

[lucid gazelle]

what's the format?

ohhh

[jaunty wraith]

@bot. command ()
@is_registered
40 y async def balance (ctx,commands, Context member: Discord.Member = None):

[lucid gazelle]

thanksss

[jaunty wraith]

I think

[near sail]

You don't receive ctx in an on_message event, you receive a message object. So the id variable would probably be message.author.id and you can access the message's channel by message.channel

!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.

[jaunty wraith]

Anything your defining like member goes in that ctx () i call it the define box

[jaunty wraith]

Ok thank you

[lucid gazelle]

ohhh okayyy

thanksss

this also

[jaunty wraith]

Add a space infront of the await until it doesnt have a red line under it i see your using replit

[lucid gazelle]

yepp

this is the pic

if I put it in 47, the user_account= will be invalid syntax

and the red line didnt get rid of

[brazen raft]

Send a screenshot of the entire command

[lucid gazelle]

okiii

[brazen raft]

Your indentation is wrong, probably

[lucid gazelle]

@is_registered
async def balance(ctx,command,Context, member: discord.Member = None): 

 if not member:  
   member = ctx.message.author


user_account = await economy.get_user(member.id)

embed = discord.Embed
colour=discord.Color.from_rgb(244, 182, 89)
    
embed.add_field(name=f"{member.display_name}'s balance", value=f"""Bank: **{user_account.bank}**
                                                                     Wallet: **{user_account.wallet}**
                                                                     Items: **{user_account.items}**""")
embed.set_footer(text=f"Invoked by {ctx.message.author.name}", icon_url=ctx.message.author.avatar_url)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

so this is the command

[brazen raft]

Either send a screenshot or use

[lucid gazelle]

ohhh

[lucid gazelle]

this is the code

[brazen raft]

Either send a screenshot or use https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[brazen raft]

Okay

[lucid gazelle]

that

thankssss

[brazen raft]

Your indentation is definitely wrong

[lucid gazelle]

oh

can you change it?

[brazen raft]

Every line in the screenshot after the if block should have the same amount of spaces as the if block

[lucid gazelle]

how?

[brazen raft]

That's how Python indentation works

[lucid gazelle]

so i will indent one space on each?

[brazen raft]

If that's your indentation, yes

[lucid gazelle]

oh

[brazen raft]

I see you have word warping, I hate that thing. You can disable it in the settings

[foggy current]

word warping?

[lucid gazelle]

helppp what's this?

[lucid gazelle]

@brazen raft

[spring obsidian]

how can i use embed.set_image to set the image from the local dir

?

[slate swan]

!local-image

a minute

[pliant gulch]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[obsidian ledge]

how do i send a message to another channel

if i like said "!send hello" then it would send to another channel

how do i do that

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

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

[slate swan]

get the channel and use .send()

[obsidian ledge]

do i have to put the channel id in the ()?

[slate swan]

yessir

[obsidian ledge]

do i put the .send() after the get_channel ?

or do i put it on another line

[slate swan]

get_channel

[obsidian ledge]

how do i send a message with it?

do i put like a "," then like 'hello'

[rapid walrus]

how to make the bot send an embed with dropdown menu? and if user click one of the menu the bot edit the embed (edit not send another message)

[jovial arrow]

hey, cant read messages, no intent, plz help

[silver pulsar]

Do i need to learn everything in object oriented programming to learn asynchronous programming?

What topics is useful for disnake

[kind wind]

you need to enable intets by putting this code into the prefix:
, intents=discord.Intents.all() and also enable all the intents at discord.com/developers/applications

its below the 2Auth

[jovial arrow]

i did

still no work

any clues?

How do I make a statistics bot?

[jade tartan]

cuz i mean i was hoping to create a dashboard like carl bot

or any sort of public bot

Yes

But i would assume i would have to do it with flash

sorry flask

[slate swan]

https://youtu.be/xiYEKe1Q1MI

Watch this

[jade tartan]

Is that your best recommended video?

[slate swan]

Yes

If you want it quick and easy

https://youtu.be/56Zw8-eaNq8 look at this series if your looking into more in-depth stuff

read the docs if you are really into indepth stuff

tutorials are shit

[slate swan]

It’s about bot dashboards

flask has docs too

Oh yeah

Thought you meant about discord.py

mhm

[cobalt jacinth]

can i run fastapi on the same server where my discord bot is running

[slate swan]

Wdym?

What statistics

[velvet tinsel]

?

What

[slate swan]

Like a bot that'll extract data from a website, an example would be an MMA bot that'll give you access to all the latest fights and predictions.

[slate swan]

This is against a lot of websites TOS

Public APIs from the websites aren’t though

[velvet tinsel]

webscraping 😐

[slate swan]

Use BS4 or Selenium for web scraping

Web scraping your mouth

😋

Back to topic

[velvet tinsel]

yes ♥️

[cobalt jacinth]

can i run fastapi on same server running discord bot ?

[slate swan]

Yes

[cobalt jacinth]

whats the performance cost ?

[slate swan]

Idk

[slate swan]

Not full traceback

[kindred drum]

its something

to do with the class but like I don't know

what I need to do

[slate swan]

Put it out of the class

[kindred drum]

na bro I wanna make it all in the class, works out of the class

[slate swan]

Bot.run needs to be inside the class

Otherwise it can’t read the class

[slate swan]

thats not how you subclass a Bot

class discordBot(commands.Bot):
  def __init_(self):
    # stuff
    pass

bot = discordBot()

@bot.command()
async def cmd(....

bot.run()```

basically u need to subclass the bot object , not make a class

[kindred drum]

ah

okay but how do I pass variables through different commands /functions @slate swan

[cold sonnet]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[kind wind]

I want to make a !buy command. How can I detect what thing the person wants to buy without needing to create multiple commands for each item?

[slate swan]

async def buy(ctx, *, item)

[kind wind]

what do i put in the * instead?

[slate swan]

The * is saying that the item var can be multiple words

[kind wind]

oh

so if thats it then the actual command?

[slate swan]

async def buy(ctx, item, amount: int = None)

That’s for item name and amount

[slate swan]

Yes

[slate swan]

With this ‘v!buy ham-burger 2’ would work

Buying 2 ham burgers

[kind wind]

so I just type like this:

@bot.command()
async def buy(ctx, item, amount: food = 10):
  await ctx.reply("You bought food")

async def buy(ctx, item, amount: house = 10000):
  await ctx.reply("You bought a house!")

in one command

[eager trail]

Need help how do i split multiple line into single line?

[slate swan]

amount: food = 10 isn’t gonna work

[kind wind]

then how is it gonna work?

[slate swan]

amount is the variable storing the amount

:int is showing that it has to be an number

[kind wind]

can u send an example using like the word weapon?

[slate swan]

And = None shows that you don’t need the variable

[slate swan]

Ok

[eager trail]

And splitlines doesn’t work

[slate swan]

Nvm I can’t send an example

Mobile is hard to use

[kind wind]

okay

ill send an example of how i thought it will work

@bot.command()
async def buy(ctx, weapons, ammount: int = None):
  await ctx.reply("You got weapons")

[eager trail]

hmm

[slate swan]

No

[eager trail]

@bot.command()
async def buy(ctx, *, weapons, amnt=None):
  amnt = int(amnt)

@kind wind

does it work?

[kind wind]

and where do i put the name of the item?

not sure why I get this error, got an idea?
``discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: member is a required argument that is missing.``

[eager trail]

Oh

try member : discord.Member=None

[slate swan]

thats what they did.

you didnt pass the member when you did that

[kindred drum]

I didn't?

[eager trail]

@kindred drum

[kindred drum]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

[eager trail]

Dude

[slate swan]

Bruh 💀

[eager trail]

i know why

member return out with member.name

so you dont need member.name

you can do member

[slate swan]

Discord.member is a member object

It’s nonetype because it is equals to None

And hasn’t been passed

[kindred drum]

I still don't get where I pass it

[kindred drum]

still nope

[eager trail]

Is getting bug?

[kindred drum]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: member is a required argument that is missing.

[eager trail]

try member : discord.Member=None yet?

[wanton veldt]

my bot is going crazy

[eager trail]

lmao

try close like 1 min

and then open again

[kindred drum]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'mention'

[eager trail]

wait

[wanton veldt]

i did that and now its working

[eager trail]

i’ll fix your code real quick

[eager trail]

lel

member = commands.fetch_user(member.id)
member.mention

@kindred drum

[kindred drum]

[spark estuary]

AttributeError: 'Embed' object has no attribute 'set'

[spark estuary]

any help with this error?

[slate swan]

Embed.set_x where x can be footer , author , thumbnail and image

[spark estuary]

tried it...didnt work

[manic wing]

and set_field_at

!d disnake.Embed.set_field_at

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Embed.set\_field\_at

set_field_at(index, name, value, *, inline=True)```
Modifies a field to the embed object.

The index must point to a valid pre-existing field.

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

[slate swan]

Was just listing some examples , they simply did Embed.set

[slate swan]

.

[manic wing]

yes but set_field_at is another example

you listed examples so i gave you another example

[slate swan]

Gg

[kindred drum]

I fixed it @eager trail

if you are curious how lmk

[slate swan]

show code

[spark estuary]

  if message.content=='bruh':
    await message.channel.send('ok')```

[slate swan]

the code that's causing the error

that's not it

[spark estuary]

shall i send my whole bot code?

[slate swan]

no

the line causing the error, you'd see it somewhere in the traceback

[spark estuary]

await coro(*args, **kwargs)
File "c:\Users\hp\Pictures\Python\turd.py", line 60, in on_message
if message.context=='bruh':
AttributeError: 'Message' object has no attribute 'context'

i get this...is it line 60?

[slate swan]

it's content

not context

if message.content == 'bruh':

fixed code ^

[spark estuary]

.

[slate swan]

what's the new error

you have to run the program again after fixing it

[spark estuary]

its showing like that in terminal coz i had changed context to content

[spark estuary]

@client.event()
TypeError: event() missing 1 required positional argument: 'coro'
Press any key to continue . . .

[vale wing]

There should be no brackets

[spark estuary]

mb

[vale wing]

Also could you please show where you define client?

[spark estuary]

it worked... @slate swan thanks for the help mate

[vale wing]

If you define it like client = commands.Client it is the wrong way

[spark estuary]

i didnt do it that way

client=commmands.bot

[vale wing]

Ok this is good

[slate swan]

the b in bot is capital btw

[spark estuary]

ik dude it was just to clarify..

[oblique adder]

what wrapper for lavalink should i use for my music bot ? lavalink.py or wavelink.py ? and why ?

youtube_dl ? against youtube Tos ครับ ?

100 + servers

13 k users

now using wavelink no bug. Just want to ask for suggestion. anyone ?

[eager trail]

oh

python sleep.py

[oblique adder]

?

[neon harbor]

[eager trail]

sirry

sorry sir

next time i’lll do better

[neon harbor]

@oblique adder we won’t help with your project here, as YT;DL is against discord TOS and violates our 5th rule

[eager trail]

My fault not him

[oblique adder]

did u even read my question ?

[eager trail]

he is using wavlink

[oblique adder]

i even said it is against tos myself

[neon harbor]

I’m not sure what your question is. You seemed to ask whether YTDL was against TOS or not, and then for help with lava link

[oblique adder]

I am asking what lavalink wrapper I should use. He suggested I use ffmpeg but I said it was against youtube tos.
your welcome.

[neon harbor]

I’m looking at lava link now, and it seems to also stream off YouTube, which is still against their TOS

If your music bot just meant to grab music from YouTube?

[slate swan]

    if member == None:
        await ctx.send('`Member` is missing!')
        return

this doesn't work

[oblique adder]

I mean if they just stream off youtube doesn't that mean the creator get something ? compare to using youtube_dl which straight up download them

[slate swan]

this is for my ban command

[oblique adder]

more detail

[slate swan]

if a admin tries to use the ban command without the user argument, it will send a message saying Member was missing

[neon harbor]

No it isn’t allowed by YouTube tos

[oblique adder]

any error ?

[neon harbor]

[slate swan]

well the error is quite self-explaining

[oblique adder]

in the command set member=None

[slate swan]

you didnt mention a member while running the command

[oblique adder]

you didnt assign member a value so it say it is missing

[slate swan]

that's the point

[oblique adder]

async def ban(ctx,member=None):

now member is set default as none even if u dont write member it will still be none and not empty

[slate swan]

i was seeing if it would send a message if the member argument was missing

[slate swan]

what are you trying to do if the member is not mentioned? send a message to mention oe or something?

[slate swan]

alright thanks

[slate swan]

it worked, thanks again 😄

cool ! , you would be using on_command_error event to handle the error sent as MissingRequiredArgument , hard coding by setting member to None is a really bad way to handle error

the unban/ban method is from lucas' tutorials

you can just py async def ban(ctx , member : discord.Member):
and use await member.ban() to ban the member.

[oblique adder]

show code

i don't know, i didn't get it off youtube nor made the code

The parameter you get is not a member object

You have to use typehint when you declare a command and check if the parameter you retrieve is an instance of the object you want

[slate swan]

@bot.event()

How to fix this man

[dense coral]

I know, my mistake in writing
And it does not work yet

[slate swan]

should work now , if you have memebr intents

[final iron]

!pypi utils

[unkempt canyon]

utils v1.0.1

A grab-bag of utility functions and objects

[slate swan]

what utils?

i mean if you mean discord.ultils , import it from discord

[placid skiff]

If it is not then you should try to convert it, if it can't be converted then probably it is not an object

[dense coral]

I have, still not working.
For my friends it works, for me it does not.

[slate swan]

can you show your intents

[dense coral]

ok

[dense coral]

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands


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

[slate swan]

did you pass it to your bot object?

if not , do it

bot = commands.Bot(..... , intents = intents)```

[dense coral]

Oh okay

[steel void]

hey how do i make it where, if someone say 2 keywords in full, it'll reply with the message?

[slate swan]

if keyword1 in message.content and keyword2 in message.content:```

[kindred drum]

yo why does this listener not react when a user joins ``` @commands.Cog.listener()# Checking the user when they join to see if they have been verified
async def on_member_join(member):
print("[INFO]:{member} has joined")

[final iron]

!or

[unkempt canyon]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[final iron]

It's the same concept for and

[slate swan]

member intents , and self as the first param in cogs

[steel void]

thnx

[strong shale]

Anyone know how to make docs using **sphinx **module ?

[kindred drum]

in the commands.Cog.listener() para?

[final iron]

What does this have to do with a discord bot?

[slate swan]

any help how to fix this?

[strong shale]

Because it's related to my bot

[final iron]

But it's not related to any relevant discord library

Ask in #python-discussion

Or #❓｜how-to-get-help

[viscid wren]

That seems like code for self bot

[slate swan]

Nvm I fixed it

[tough lance]

Hi

[trail raven]

I have a clear command working, but I want it to send a certain message when the amount argument is not a number. I've played with if amount != int: but it keeps giving me errors. So I'm using @clear.error but when the isinstance == True, I don't get a response.

How do I get @clear.error to have the bot respond in the channel?

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def clear(ctx, amount: int=10000000):
    if amount == 10000000:
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(title="Error", description=":x: You didn't specify how many messages you'd like me to delete.", color=red))
        return
    if amount < 1:
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(title="Error", description=":x: I can't delete less than 1 message.", color=red))
        return
    if amount > 0:
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount+1)
        await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(title="Success!", description=f"![check](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/894012823938670612.webp?size=128 "check") Successfully deleted `{amount}` messages.", color=green))
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        await ctx.channel.purge(limit=1)

@clear.error
async def clear_error(error, ctx):
    if isinstance(error, commands.BadArgument) == True:
        await ctx.send("worked2")

[cold sonnet]

mixed the names I think

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.on\_command\_error

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

The default command error handler provided by the bot.

By default this prints to [`sys.stderr`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stderr "(in Python v3.9)") however it could be overridden to have a different implementation.

This only fires if you do not specify any listeners for command error.

[cold sonnet]

yes, ctx is first

async def clear_error(ctx, error)

also, I'm kinda late so I'll ping @trail raven

[trail raven]

It worked, thanks!

hi i need help
how i can make an forever loop in d.py without stopping the bot

ping me if you are going to tell me something

    requests.post(config['Webhookurl'], data=message)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    client.run(config['Token'])

@supple summit

In client event you can just replace with anything

[tacit horizon]

KeyError: 0```

??????????

[umbral dome]

Wait are u trying to do?

@tacit horizon

[supple summit]

why i need logging and json

[tacit horizon]

only print/send "message"

from response

[supple summit]

i need more better example

because i can't understand the previous one

[umbral dome]

message = {
        "content" : (f"message) ")}

    requests.post(config['Webhookurl'], data=message)

@tacit horizon

[umbral dome]

Can u send your code then

[tacit horizon]

:O

[umbral dome]

Why [0]

[supple summit]

i just want to make a loop for some stuff

like checking database every 10 seconds

for cooldown thing

[tacit horizon]

Ok now its works

after removing

[umbral dome]

while True:
  Print("hello world")

[supple summit]

without stopping the bot or smth

[umbral dome]

That does not stop the bot

[supple summit]

ok

[umbral dome]

But the while True:
Will keep looping

[vocal shoal]

is it better to store user_id as int or string or there is no differance?

[umbral dome]

As in database?

[vocal shoal]

yes

[umbral dome]

Could u help me create a database?

[vocal shoal]

sure

[umbral dome]

in Dm? or

[vocal shoal]

i think dm is vetter

[tacit horizon]

nooo unless wont work

ahhh

not working

[lusty swallow]

try printing the value first

like this

print(response[0])

keyerror implies that message key doesn't exist

wait the bot keep sending "not found" may be the api rip

[lusty swallow]

can be hit with sqlinjection

fix your code

also
did you mean

@client.error

     if isinstance(error, commands.BadArgument) == True:
        await ctx.send("worked")

[velvet tinsel]

lol

also you don’t need a == True 💀

if you just do a if isinstance that’s enough

and it should be is True if you want to add it but idk why you do that

[crystal cliff]

Does this log, in a db? If yes, I’d like some to help me make a db, & how does it recall the info, from the db to a discord channel? 🤔

[lusty swallow]

can you elaborate?

[final iron]

I'm going to make a blacklist system for my bot. Could I achieve this by creating a decorator that checks a database for the user's id and if it finds it returns the function?

[vocal shoal]

yes,
you can also use the on_message event, check if the author is in the blacklist, if yes return

if message.author.id in blacklist:
        return

[final iron]

I'm just going to use it to prevent use of the bots commands

Can I have a sample of what the decorator would look like?

I've never made one

[muted vessel]

i need info

[crystal cliff]

A list of usernames etc. Basic for now, pls

[crystal cliff]

How does the blacklist work?

[final iron]

I think it explained it pretty well

[crystal cliff]

Ok, what bot commands you going to prevent?

[final iron]

Most of them

Thats why I'm creating a decorator

[crystal cliff]

Ok 🤔

[final iron]

Oh yeah, one more thing. With an Sqlite3 db, should I be creating new files or new tables for my different purposes?

[slate swan]

Oh ok ty

[sage otter]

Different tables

The only extra databases you should have are backups. You don’t need to have more than 1 main database to write and read to.

[final iron]

Alright

[fluid spindle]

Hi, could there be a reason why I might be getting coroutine object has no attribute 'start'
When I try to run a loop?

[fluid spindle]

It's a discord.ext loop btw

Nvm I realised my mistake

[slate swan]

hi i am making a moderator bot and i was ran into an error

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

Uh-oh! It looks like your message got zapped by our spam filter. We currently don't allow .txt attachments, so here are some tips to help you travel safely:

• If you attempted to send a message longer than 2000 characters, try shortening your message to fit within the character limit or use a pasting service (see below)

• If you tried to show someone your code, you can use codeblocks
(run !code-blocks in #bot-commands for more information) or use a pasting service like:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[slate swan]

but it looks like i cant send it

[final iron]

Read the embed the bot sent

[slate swan]

ok i fix it ty

[final iron]

I'm confused with decorators

!decorators

[unkempt canyon]

Decorators

A decorator is a function that modifies another function.

Consider the following example of a timer decorator:

>>> import time
>>> def timer(f):
...     def inner(*args, **kwargs):
...         start = time.time()
...         result = f(*args, **kwargs)
...         print('Time elapsed:', time.time() - start)
...         return result
...     return inner
...
>>> @timer
... def slow(delay=1):
...     time.sleep(delay)
...     return 'Finished!'
...
>>> print(slow())
Time elapsed: 1.0011568069458008
Finished!
>>> print(slow(3))
Time elapsed: 3.000307321548462
Finished!

More information:
• Corey Schafer's video on decorators
• Real python article

[final iron]

Looking at this doc, is the inner functioned needed and what is its purpose?

Could someone provide a better example?

[magic ore]

the slow function in that example is equivalent to slow = timer(slow)

timer(func) returns a callable, the inner function

[calm sparrow]

How do you check if a embed or a string was returned from a function?

[outer violet]

How do I make my bot send a message to the users dms once they get a certain role from the server?

[digital ingot]

    @commands.command()
    async def gebet(self, *, ctx):  
        url = "https://dailyprayer.abdulrcs.repl.co/api/berlin"
        response = requests.get(url)
        data = response.json()
        city = (data['city'])
        date = (data['date'])
        for prayer in data["today"]:
          await ctx.send(city, date, prayer + ": " + data["today"][prayer])  
        # If you want to request for tomorrow prayer's time:
        # for prayer in data["tomorrow"]:
        #  print(prayer + ": " + data["tomorrow"][prayer])```

[pliant gulch]

You can use isinstance with the return of the function

[digital ingot]

my brain is hurting trying to fix this

i think the await ctx.send is wrong

like the things that come after it

[calm sparrow]

Thanks! What would I put for the 2nd argument to check if its an embed?

[pliant gulch]

discord.Embed

[fluid spindle]

When you call gebet, don't put in self as the first argument

[soft lynx]

am i allowed to ask questions about slash commands here

[digital ingot]

i uh did some changes and

    @commands.command()
    async def gebet(self, ctx):  
        url = "https://dailyprayer.abdulrcs.repl.co/api/berlin"
        response = requests.get(url)
        data = response.json()
        city = (data['city'])
        date = (data['date'])
        for prayer in data["today"]:
            em = discord.Embed(
            title=f'Gebetszeiten Berlin {date}'
            description=f'city, date, prayer + ": " + data["today"][prayer]'
            )
        await ctx.send(embed=em)``` now the description doesnt work

[calm sparrow]

Sweet thanks, working now. I forgot the discord part 😛 Been a few months since I worked on this bot lol Thanks!

[fluid spindle]

what is the output?

[digital ingot]

i did a code before but it didnt show the city and the date

it only showed the times

[fluid spindle]

How many embeds are you trying to send?

[fluid spindle]

And also, you're forgetting the curly brackets in the description line

[digital ingot]

i already fixed it

but still thank you sm

[fluid spindle]

cool, np

[echo lagoon]

got a bit of an issue, dpy how to check if an arg is either a discord channel mention (get channel) or just a normal string? (do something else)

[quaint epoch]

is it possible to check if the member running a command has (perm) or (perm and perm)?

like: py @client.command() @commands.has_permissions(moderate_members=True or manage_messages=True and manage_members=True)?

[echo lagoon]

could do a custom check. .

[quaint epoch]

how do i do that?

[upbeat otter]

Use isinstance function to check that

[placid willow]

When designing a bot that uses internal resources, is there a way to avoid relative-to-repo-root paths or do I just have to suck it?

[echo lagoon]

# this is just an example, 
    @staticmethod
    def is_guild_owner():
        async def predicate(ctx):
            if ctx.guild.owner_id != ctx.author.id:
                return False
            return True
        return commands.check(predicate)

#to use: 
@commands.check(is_guild_owner)

[echo lagoon]

thx!

didnt think of using isinstance ; - ;

[upbeat otter]

Using the != operator would be better here

[upbeat otter]

Its alright

[echo lagoon]

ye, old code before i did a full bot rewrite, dont have a custom check anymore . - .

[upbeat otter]

Hmm

[echo lagoon]

(doesnt excuse me for writing bad code, ig)

[upbeat otter]

Its alright

[quaint epoch]

so, i made a bot on my class server, and i tried to mute my use the timeout feature in my alt accnt for testing, im an admin on my class server, with admin perms, but i can't use the timeout command - py @client.command() @commands.has_permissions(moderate_members=True) async def timeout(ctx, member: discord.Member, time: float = None, *, reason='None'): duration = (time * 60) await member.timeout(duration=duration, reason=reason) try: await member.send(f'''{member.mention} you were put in the timeout chair by **{ctx.author}** for {time} minutes, because: **{reason}**.''') except (discord.HTTPException, discord.errors.HTTPException, discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError, commands.CommandInvokeError, commands.CommandError, AttributeError, discord.Forbidden): print(f'Cannot direct message {str(member)}.') await ctx.send(f'''{ctx.author.mention} put {member.mention} in the timeout chair for {time} minutes, because: **{reason}**.''')

so, even with administrator perms, i don't have moderate_members perms?

im using disnake 2.3 btw

it works perfectly fine on my personal server, since there is only me, and my bot there and im the owner

[slate swan]

i have a problem while declaring this variable:

    async def play(self,ctx,url):
      ctx.voice_client.stop()
      FFMPEG_OPTIONS = (
       "before_options" : "-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5",
       "options": "-vn"
       )```

       "before_options" :** "-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5"**
gives a error and idk why

[quaint epoch]

what is the error?

[slate swan]

pyflakes invalid syntax

[quaint epoch]

is pyflakes like discord.py? an api wrapper?

[slate swan]

yea

[quaint epoch]

idk, maybe py @client.command() async def play(self,ctx,url): ctx.voice_client.stop() FFMPEG_OPTIONS = ( "before_options" : "-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5", "options": "-vn" )

[fluid spindle]

async def foo(self, ctx, *, abc):
What does the * exactly do here?

[quaint epoch]

try doing your client var for the decorator

[slate swan]

same shit

[quaint epoch]

it takes all arguments past that as one

[echo lagoon]

anything else you type will be part of that argument (basically doesnt look for spaces to seperate args anymore)

[quaint epoch]

so if i were to enter hello my name is hrlo77 for the last part of the command, the whole string would be the abc

[fluid spindle]

And is that one argument abc here?

[quaint epoch]

yes

[fluid spindle]

got it, thanks

[quaint epoch]

If anyone can help me that would be great

I would suggest you learn python before jumping in to make a discord bot as its not a beginner project

yeah, but I just wanted a really simple bot that loops an .mp3 file. For my own server^^

I copied most of my code btw

[final iron]

"I just wanted a really simple bot that loops an .mp3 file. For my own server" Blatantly uses ytdl

[tulip mural]

oh, okay!

[final iron]

I know enough to use them in my bot

Just ask your question/send your error

Have you tried using WHERE?

No clue. I only started with sql (3?) days ago

[tulip mural]

My project will just not work, can someone share me a script of a bot that:

1. join a voicechannel when it goes online.
2. infinitly loop an .mp3 file.

please help, im looking for it all day 😦

oh...

[final iron]

Looping a youtube video and .mp3 file are very different things

Alright so I need some help. I'm trying to make a decorator and I have no clue what I'm doing. I wrote the code which (should) be working. Can someone explain to me how to turn this in to a functioning decorator?

async def is_blacklisted(member_id: int): # member_id will be ctx.author.id when I can change this in to a decorator
    path = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.parent.absolute() / "main.db"
    connection = await aiosqlite.connect(path)
    cursor = await connection.cursor()
    await cursor.execute(f"REPLACE INTO blacklisted_members(member_id, reason, data) Values({member_id}, 'random text', 'more text')")
    await connection.commit()
    await cursor.execute(f'''SELECT member_id FROM blacklisted_members
                            WHERE member_id={member_id}''')
    line = await cursor.fetchone()
    if line is None:
        await connection.close()
        pass
    else:
        await connection.close()
        return

[slate swan]

pretty easy to make something a decorator

[final iron]

I've never done it before

[slate swan]

def decorator():
    async def asyncfunction():

[final iron]

So

def is_blacklisted():
  async def blacklisted_check(member_id: int): # member_id will be ctx.author.id when I can change this in to a decorator
    path = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.parent.absolute() / "main.db"
    connection = await aiosqlite.connect(path)
    cursor = await connection.cursor()
    await cursor.execute(f"REPLACE INTO blacklisted_members(member_id, reason, data) Values({member_id}, 'random text', 'more text')")
    await connection.commit()
    await cursor.execute(f'''SELECT member_id FROM blacklisted_members
                            WHERE member_id={member_id}''')
    line = await cursor.fetchone()
    if line is None:
        await connection.close()
        pass
    else:
        await connection.close()
        return

?

I'm guessing this is wrong

[slate swan]

example

def decorator():
    def function():
        if something in list:
            return

@decorator
async def asyncfunction():

[slate swan]

i think its right im not sure

[final iron]

I can test it

[slate swan]

go for it

[final iron]

Of yeah, how would I get ctx.author.id?

[slate swan]

wdym

[final iron]

My goal is to have the decorator check the authors id against the database of blacklisted users

Right now you have to input a member

Is there anyway I can make that default to the author (ctx.author.id)

[slate swan]

not sure

cant really say

not really

dont even know sql got bored of it lol

know the basics

lol ikr

im going to make a new bot that uses a db today so i better get to it

not really their just hard to master

lol

wdym annoying?

well we all learn at are on rate and sometimes are answers are always under are noses

lol

ic

[final iron]

Its not working

[slate swan]

i think im going to do a atm bot like a atm machine with a db

[final iron]

I'm getting TypeError: is_blacklisted() missing 1 required positional argument: 'member_id'

When I don't put the id

[slate swan]

well isnt it needed?

[final iron]

Wait

[slate swan]

just add a default value of None

[final iron]

And when I add the id I get TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable

[slate swan]

guess its None

why not type hint the id as a member?

[final iron]

No clue. I'll try it

[slate swan]

argument naming lmao

[final iron]

Its just showing errors

I need to figure out how to get ctx.author.id

[slate swan]

@commands.command(name="profile") # Profile Command
    async def profile(self, ctx: commands.Context, member: discord.Member = None) -> None:
        if not member:
            member = ctx.author.id

[ebon island]

I'm confused about why I'm getting an exception indicating that my turn_loop method is taking three arguments when it is only supposed to be taking 2:

    def done_callback(self, _task: asyncio.Task, ctx, curr_server, settings, count=2):
        try:
            exc = _task.exception()
            if exc:
                capture_exception(exc)
                message_to_be_sent = f'Barbot had an exception, delayed for {count}: {exc}'
                print(message_to_be_sent)
                capture_message(message_to_be_sent)
                if count:
                    count *= 2
                else:
                    count = 2
            else:
                count = 0
            curr_server.task = asyncio.create_task(self.turn_loop(curr_server=curr_server, count=count))
            curr_server.task.add_done_callback(partial(self.done_callback, ctx=ctx, curr_server=curr_server, settings=settings, count=count))
        except asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError:
            print('task cancelled :)')

    async def turn_loop(self, curr_server, count):
        channel_to_be_sent = curr_server.approved_channel
        settings = await self.get_server_settings(curr_server)
        if count:
            await self.error_delay(count)
        if curr_server.cypher_mode in self.client.cypher_modes:
            settings = await self.cypher_list_updater(curr_server, settings)
        if settings:
            await self.take_turn(curr_server, settings)
        else:
            message_to_be_sent = f'**The BarBot cannot be run in {curr_server.cypher_mode} Mode when the Cipher List is empty.**'
            await self.message_sender(channel_to_be_sent, message_to_be_sent)
            curr_server.task.cancel()

Any ideas? It seems also like it's only happening on my production server and not on my dev build for some reason I'm not really understanding

[final iron]

If I type hint the id to a member then and make it default to None I get TypeError: is_blacklisted() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given

This is the current code

def is_blacklisted():
    async def blacklisted_check(member_id: disnake.Member = None):
        path = pathlib.Path(__file__).parent.parent.absolute() / "main.db"
        connection = await aiosqlite.connect(path)
        cursor = await connection.cursor()
        await cursor.execute(f"REPLACE INTO blacklisted_members(member_id, reason, data) Values({member_id}, 'random text', 'more text')")
        await connection.commit()
        await cursor.execute(f'''SELECT member_id FROM blacklisted_members
                                WHERE member_id={member_id}''')
        line = await cursor.fetchone()
        if line is None:
            await connection.close()
            pass
        else:
            await connection.close()
            return

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong

This is what I'm putting over the command @is_blacklisted(758119644984115243)

I gtg

Ping me you know what I'm doing wrong

[manic wing]

why dont you add a global check

would be alot easier

[final iron]

No clue

I just want to keep my code clean

[manic wing]

lol

having a global check is unfathomably cleaner than decorating each command

[final iron]

Oh I misunderstood

[manic wing]

you literally just return a bool

!d discord.ext.commands.check ```py
@bot.check
async def blacklisted_check(ctx):
if ctx.author in blacklisted:
return False

return True```

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error").

[manic wing]

this applies to all commands

[final iron]

Is there any way I can make it not apply to certain commands?

There are some that I would like to be only available to blacklisted users

[manic wing]

[muted lynx]

is there an event for channel creation and deletion

I can't find one in the docs

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.on_guild_channel_create

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_channel\_create

discord.on_guild_channel_delete(channel)``````py

discord.on_guild_channel_create(channel)```
Called whenever a guild channel is deleted or created.

Note that you can get the guild from [`guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild "discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild").

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

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.on_guild_channel_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_channel\_delete

discord.on_guild_channel_delete(channel)``````py

discord.on_guild_channel_create(channel)```
Called whenever a guild channel is deleted or created.

Note that you can get the guild from [`guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild "discord.abc.GuildChannel.guild").

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

Is there a way to bypass cooldowns by having an if statement with a users discord id?

for example

  no more cooldown```

[rare saddle]

How to make a random color for embed?

[manic wing]

!d disnake.Colour.random

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Colour.random

classmethod random(*, seed=None)```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Colour "disnake.Colour") with a random hue.

Note

The random algorithm works by choosing a colour with a random hue but with maxed out saturation and value.

New in version 1.6.

[rare saddle]

thanks

[molten heron]

make the prefix "".

and give that user application command perms.

Me either. But seeing how bots I use work that should work too

[manic wing]

jesus christ

[molten heron]

what

[pliant gulch]

They asked for any message, by setting the prefix to "" it will only work when a valid command is in the message

[prime wolf]

bruh

[pliant gulch]

The goto is doing an on_message event where you check the ID of the author

You want to make an on_message event, then access the author.id of the message object

!d discord.Message.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

[sacred cargo]

i need help

im trying to make it so leveling doesnt sync across servers,

but for individual servers

[prime wolf]

!d discord.on_typing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_typing

discord.on_typing(channel, user, when)```
Called when someone begins typing a message.

The `channel` parameter can be a [`abc.Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") instance. Which could either be [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel"), [`GroupChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.GroupChannel "discord.GroupChannel"), or [`DMChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.DMChannel "discord.DMChannel").

If the `channel` is a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel") then the `user` parameter is a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"), otherwise it is a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

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

[sacred cargo]

i need to store the guild id and the user id, but idk how

[prime wolf]

This @slate swan

[sacred cargo]

heres my code

if message.author.bot == True:
        print("message is from bot, ignoring")
    else:
        with open('level.json', 'r') as f:
            level = json.load(f)

        if level[str(message.guild.id)] == 1: 
            with open('messages.json', 'r') as f:
                messages = json.load(f)

            try:
                messages[str(message.author.id)] += 1
            except KeyError:
                messages[str(message.author.id)] = 1
        
            with open('messages.json', 'w') as f:
                json.dump(messages, f, indent=4)

[potent spear]

terrible idea to implement a db like that
first error => json isn't a db

[sacred cargo]

ik, its that i dont know how to use a db

:(

[potent spear]

then learn how to instead of implementing a bad method

[heavy folio]

seen this code so many times

[pliant gulch]

??? What is on_typing here for?

[potent spear]

no, surely not

[pliant gulch]

You just need to check if the id of the message author is the same as the user id you want

[potent spear]

ever used docs/ is this your first python project? looks like it tbh

[sacred cargo]

can someone just answer my question?

[potent spear]

surely not

[heavy folio]

use an instance of it.. not the class objecy

[potent spear]

learn the basics first, then move on from there, you don't want to start this without even knowing the different between and object and a class

you're comparing a class with a user ID, if you know basics, you know that's basically wrong

you have to compare the attributes of 2 objects

worst thing you can do

[sacred cargo]

can someone help me pls

[potent spear]

use a database

[sacred cargo]

just ANSWER

[heavy folio]

lol?

basic python

[potent spear]

get the message author's ID and compare it to the given ID
if it's True, get the channel object, use it's async send method

[sacred cargo]

@heavy folio can you help me

[heavy folio]

ye

[pliant gulch]

Nice, is this a compiler or interpreted? I'm also making my own compiler but in C++

[heavy folio]

!d discord.User.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.id

The user’s unique ID.

[heavy folio]

take note user and member is different @slate swan

member is in guild, user is a discord user

[pliant gulch]

Ah, same for the compiler bit lol. I've been stuck on writing the Assembly code

[potent spear]

this is not that relevant for his on_message event
this guy doesn't know yet that a member basically is a user etc
I also don't think he knows what class object message.author returns

[pliant gulch]

A friend referred me to that guide as well, wasn't much use for me though as I'm aiming for a compiled one

[heavy folio]

oh

[sacred cargo]

can someone help me

[pliant gulch]

A compiler in python sounds cursed though, thank god I'm writing it in C++

[potent spear]

https://discord.gg/dpy

[pliant gulch]

You would just make an argument which you can set as the user id and the guild id

[sacred cargo]

i uh

may or may not be banned

[pliant gulch]

Perhaps a dictionary or something? This would also mean that you don't need global

Or perhaps a bot var

[potent spear]

then you're doomed to wait years for questions to be answered

[sacred cargo]

be honest, you just dont wanna help someone that uses json

[potent spear]

correct, I don't assist bad implementations
it's for the dev's sake

1. he won't come crying when everything is corrupt
2. he'll get faster responses since that's the way everyone (should) use(s) it

[pliant gulch]

Not really I've been winging it without any resources

https://github.com/an-dyy/PEX-LANG

I'm stuck at the parser bit though, I haven't done actual compiling nor evaluation

Hence I'm stuck at the assembly code

Nope

Nope but close

message.author is a User or Member object

You want to access the id property of said object

This returns an integer which you can compare

Yep

[echo lagoon]

dang it, got an io blocking task which blocks the whole bot, how would i run the whole method in another thread and await a result?

[pliant gulch]

You should probably checkout run_in_executor

[echo lagoon]

thx!

[pliant gulch]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.loop.run_in_executor

[echo lagoon]

actually im not so sure if that is the best. . .
considering im also making threads in the method. . . should be a better way. .

[quaint epoch]

hi

[echo lagoon]

actually nvm, run in executor worked fine. . .

[digital ingot]

    @commands.command()
    async def faridmemo(self, ctx, *, member : discord.Member = None):

        download(url)
        if not member:
            await ctx.send(file=File(fp="video.mp4", filename="Farid_Memo.mp4"))
        else:
            await ctx.send(f"von {ctx.author.mention} an {member.mention}", file=File(fp="video.mp4", filename="Farid_Memo.mp4"))
        os.remove("video.mp4")```

uh

it doesnt send the video

neither does it delete the message of the author

[digital ingot]

ig this is a unsolveable problem

[final iron]

Which line is the error on?

[potent spear]

not sure if a bot can send video's...

also very important note:
you seem to download from url synchronously, this will block other code if not put in an executor

[heavy folio]

can interaction.followup (discord.py) be responded ephemerally

[lucid gazelle]

can i ask how to module.export ||that's discord.js but i want it on discord.py||?

[slate swan]

Command handler?

use cogs..

[lucid gazelle]

yep

[slate swan]

you can use cogs for that. Basically creating a class which has commands from a category

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

class discord.ext.commands.Cog(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

[lucid gazelle]

thanksss

@commands.cooldown(1, 3600, commands.BucketType.user)

    embed.set_footer(text=f"Invoked by {ctx.message.author.name}", icon_url=ctx.message.author.avatar_url)
    await ctx.reply(embed=embed)```

how can I put the amount in You successfully claimed (random_amount)?

[slate swan]

!f-string

!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.

[slate swan]

^^^

Use a f string , it's similar to ` ` strings in js

[lucid gazelle]

oh okayyy

uhmmm how can i put the amount?

[slate swan]

f"You got {amount}"

[lucid gazelle]

okayyy thanksss

its random

so f"You successfully claimed {random_amount} 💎"

?

@slate swan

[slate swan]

Yeah it will work

[lucid gazelle]

okay thanksss

[quaint epoch]

how do i get the member icon

!d disnake.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.avatar

property avatar```
Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.User.avatar "disnake.User.avatar")

[quaint epoch]

hm, does it return an image? and if so bytes?

[slate swan]

it returns an discord.Asset object

!d discord.Asset

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset

class discord.Asset```
Represents a CDN asset on Discord.

str(x) Returns the URL of the CDN asset.

len(x) Returns the length of the CDN asset’s URL.

x == y Checks if the asset is equal to another asset.

x != y Checks if the asset is not equal to another asset.

hash(x) Returns the hash of the asset.

[slate swan]

if you want the file , you can .read() it

[quaint epoch]

when i do that, it says i need to do await member.avatar.read()

and when i do that, it says it has an invalid start byte

.read() returned a bunch of bytes

but it just gave an error for the bytes

[steel void]

``` why does this code break every command ?

for example as soon as i comment this out, my !who and my !uptime command works

[quaint epoch]

do py await client_main.process_commands(message)

at the end*

will try it

it worked thanks, i was so confused haha

[final iron]

Is it possible to create a check (bot.check) inside a cog/class?

[sullen shoal]

if you dont need to do anything with processing of commands, use Bot.listen which dont need you to process commands

[sullen shoal]

could use Bot.before_invoke for that. because it will be easier with it.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.before_invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.before\_invoke

@before_invoke```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a pre-invoke hook.

A pre-invoke hook is called directly before the command is called. This makes it a useful function to set up database connections or any type of set up required.

This pre-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context").

Note

The [`before_invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.before_invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.before_invoke") and [`after_invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.after_invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.after_invoke") hooks are only called if all checks and argument parsing procedures pass without error. If any check or argument parsing procedures fail then the hooks are not called.

[sullen shoal]

Context.command
will return thecommands.Command instance of the invoking command

for example,

if ctx.command.name in ("upgrade", "townhall"):
    await ctx.send(...)```

[woven ingot]

Could anyone help me out my embed isn't working am i doing something wrong?

  await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[cobalt jacinth]

how many bots can i make on 1 account ?

[slate swan]

Do you want to save the file or something?

  ​from​ ​io​ ​import​ ​BytesIO 
 ​from​ ​PIL​ ​import​ ​Image 
 Image​.​open​(​BytesIO​(​await​ ​user​.​display_avatar​.​read​()))
``` this is what I used to get a byte and open it

[quaint epoch]

i needed to send the icon

but it says that the first byte is invalid

[slate swan]

Just use .url

And send the link...

[sullen shoal]

199999

[quaint epoch]

doesn't work

[slate swan]

Show code

[quaint epoch]

im on a diff comp rn lol that's why i was offline so long

so i don't have code

[sullen shoal]

are you sure the command is even running

put a print statement

[slate swan]

There actually is

[cobalt jacinth]

okok

[sullen shoal]

yes, 199,999

[slate swan]

I have 25 only tho

[slate swan]

And this ^

[quaint epoch]

but just letting you know i did py async def bm(ctx, message_id): message = await ctx.fetch_message(message_id) author = await ctx.guild.fetch_member(message.author.id) embed = discord.Embed() image = author.avatar.read() embed = embed.footer(text=f'{image} {author} sent {message.content}')

[slate swan]

You cannot send an byte object.....

if you want the icon to appear in the embed below , use the icon_url kwarg

[sullen shoal]

looks like they reduced it, some forum says its 199999

4 yr old tho

its 25 ig

[quaint epoch]

idk how

[slate swan]

Mhm maybe they are enforcing teams or something

[slate swan]

embed.set_footer(text="text" , icon_url= member.avatar.url)

[quaint epoch]

o

i'll try it when i get back on my device

[quaint epoch]

.bm

[sullen shoal]

why are you fetching member

[quaint epoch]

i prefer fetching instead of get

[sullen shoal]

you dont even need to do get it

message.author will return member when possible

in dms, it wont

[quaint epoch]

that's, the point of bookmarking?
