I need it to delete but it's not. I did asyncio.sleep(2) then delete but it isn't working

[dire folio]

What are u trying to delete I cba to read it

If it's the embed at the end do

await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=2)

[hard trail]

i'll try

Yeah it worked thanks

[final iron]

No need for ctx.channel.send. ctx.send works fine

[hard trail]

alright

[final iron]

Also, any reason you're not updated to discord.py 2.0?

[velvet tinsel]

hello person gazing at water

Try uptimerobot

[drifting swift]

thanks

[cerulean elbow]

Your Welcome 👍🏼 What does your bot do? @drifting swift

[drifting swift]

randomly replies to a message in my server with random stuff lol

[cerulean elbow]

Anything else? Hi = Hey, Wassup, Yo etc

[drifting swift]

maybe if i choose to expand on it

[frank tartan]

can anybody help?

[drifting swift]

ooh like maybe a schedule thingy so it pings everyone when class starts

[final iron]

The author is None

[cerulean elbow]

That’s prob a 24 loop command 🤔

[frank tartan]

how can i fix that?

[drifting swift]

a hat

[cerulean elbow]

Is this rr?

[frank tartan]

no

[final iron]

Not sure

[frank tartan]

cuz it works on my other bots... exact same code

[final iron]

Do you have intents?

[frank tartan]

?

[final iron]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[frank tartan]

i dont

[final iron]

Enable them, see what happens

[frank tartan]

ok

[frank tartan]

NameError: name 'intents' is not defined

from discord import Intents

PREFIX = "<"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(PREFIX),  help_command=None, intents=intents)

[cerulean elbow]

What is it then? 🤔

[final iron]

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

Do you see your issue?

[frank tartan]

a command, lets users do

!addRole 👮‍♂️

than they will get a police man role

[frank tartan]

nope

[final iron]

Read lines 3 and 4

[frank tartan]

i still get the original error though

[final iron]

Did you enable them in the dev portal?

[frank tartan]

whats the dev portal?

oh

uhh no.. lemme go enable them

[frank tartan]

still same error

[final iron]

What you sent was all your code, correct?

[frank tartan]

all my code for the command, yes.

[final iron]

I got no clue then

Actually

Send your constructor again

I want to verify you did it correctly

[frank tartan]

constructor?

[final iron]

bot = commands.Bot(...)

That line

And show how you defined intents

[frank tartan]

PREFIX = "<"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(PREFIX),  help_command=None, intents=intents)```

[keen talon]

Where do I verify my bot

[cerulean elbow]

For Admin, to assign?

[final iron]

Show me intents

[cerulean elbow]

Where you created your bot?

[frank tartan]

well yes. the command should let admins do

<addRole @amber beacon 👮‍♂️

[frank tartan]

i noticed

[frank tartan]

from discord import Intents
intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

PREFIX = "<"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(PREFIX),  help_command=None, intents=intents)

[final iron]

No idea then

[cerulean elbow]

What you mean?

[halcyon sparrow]

Does someone know to properly invite the bot

[twin moon]

How do I make a guild into a guildchannel

[twin moon]

Discord Dev hub

URL generator

Redirect uri

Invite

By

Using link

[halcyon sparrow]

Alright, let me check. I have an invite but the bot doesn't have its own role when it joins

[cerulean elbow]

You could of put, all this in 1 sentence 🤣

[halcyon sparrow]

I feel like it's my fault

[cerulean elbow]

Sometimes bots do that lol

[twin moon]

That doesn't feel correct

[twin moon]

Well in the URL generator

Select bot
And then
Select admin or other perms

[twin moon]

Help?

[cerulean elbow]

Prob send, embed, view channels & read history instead of admin. 🤔

[twin moon]

WELL THATS WHAT I SAID IF YOU CTX IS DEFINED

EVERYONE FORGETS TO DEFINE CTX

[cerulean elbow]

🙈

[twin moon]

[cerulean elbow]

[twin moon]

[cerulean elbow]

[twin moon]

[cerulean elbow]

You Win 🤣🤣

[halcyon sparrow]

Thanks guys. I read an article on it but I guess It wasn't good

[cerulean elbow]

What was your question? 🤔

[twin moon]

Define ctx for once

[cerulean elbow]

@Bot.command(ctx): something like this?

[twin moon]

No

[cerulean elbow]

What then?

[cerulean elbow]

Which bot?

[twin moon]

@client.command()
async def idk(ctx)```

[cerulean elbow]

I was nearly right 🤣

[dire folio]

i need help on why this isn't working i get no errors

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def update_stats():
    guild = client.get_guild(913793214505447505)

    member_channel = client.get_channel(931624220885155860)

    #Edit stats All Member
    mem = 'Members: ' + str(len(list_member))
    print(mem)
    await member_channel.edit(name=mem)

btw i am starting the task

[final iron]

Print guild and member_channel

[dire folio]

1 sec

[cerulean elbow]

What’s it do?

[dire folio]

They are not None

[dire folio]

It's a member counter

[cerulean elbow]

I’ve got a working one of them, if you want it 👍🏼

[dire folio]

I'll try myself but ty

[cerulean elbow]

👍🏼

[final iron]

And its returning all the members, correct?

[dire folio]

Ye

If I do await update_stats() in on_ready it works but the task isn't working

[undone willow]

Hey! I have a question if anyone knows some bots I could use for my idea?

I'd like for members of my server to be able to take a quiz with some questions and depending on their results be assigned a role

Not sure if it's entirely the right place to ask but couldn't find any better channel and hope that's okay!

[spring flax]

okay first you'd the quiz questions. Do you have prior experience with dpy/python?

[spring flax]

Making API calls on the on_ready event isn't a good idea.
If you want the status to be changed, when defining your bot instance ( bot=commands.Bot...), there is a kwarg for status/activity.
Example:
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="a prefix", activity=..., status=...)

[undone willow]

Not really much to be honest just a little with Python but none with dpy, was just thinking if you possibly knew of existing bots/plugins for this issue. But I don't mind reading up on it and learning if it's not a too complicated of a project to do without prior knowledge

[dire folio]

U could try making said bot

[dire folio]

Tbh it isn't that hard, but you do need to know the basics of python

[undone willow]

I'm not too sure about how complicated fetching data and such is, but I do have an external website where the survey can be done, would it be possible of some kind of bot checking the results over there and then have an if condition for the results like if it's greater than or equal to 80% they get assigned a role?

[slate swan]

I'm trying to make a ban command interactive with buttons.
here is the traceback error im getting:

here is the code:

    await view.wait()

[native wedge]

is python still good for bot making?

[spring flax]

yeah sure, I asked that to know how detailed I should be in how to create it
So first, you'd need the quiz questions, and the answers
After that, you can send the questions using await ctx.send(the_question)
Then, you'd be using a await bot.wait_for for the bot to receive the user's answer.
Then you can check if the answer is equal to the question answer. If yes, you give a role.
So basically this is a rough idea

#create the quiz questions and answers as a variable. Let's take it as "quiz_questions" in this case, and the answer is "answer".
@bot.command()
async def quiz(ctx):
  choice = random.choice(quiz_questions) #selecting a random question
  await ctx.send(choice)
  def check(message):
    return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel
  msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
  if msg.content == answer: #the answer is right
    await ctx.send("You got it right!")
    await msg.author.add_roles(the role you want) #adding the role to the user
  else:
    await ctx.send("You got it wrong") #they got the question wrong

Although mind the indents, they may be wrong

[spring flax]

Yes. There are still good libraries to use.

An example being disnake.

[native wedge]

what library do i use?

[undone willow]

Thank you so much for taking your time into this response. Unfortunately a bit busy now but will check it out and also google a bit to get a better understanding and come back with any further questions I may have.

[slate swan]

disnake is the most widely used.

[native wedge]

import disnake

[spring flax]

yes

[native wedge]

like that?

[slate swan]

Well you need to install it first.

Then yes, it's correct.

[native wedge]

im using repl.it

how would that work out

[slate swan]

Just like how you installed discord.py

[native wedge]

all i did is py import discord and it installed

[spring flax]

yeah no worries.
Here are the documentations since you mentioned you wouldn't mind reading through them, for each major part (just giving the commands, you can use them in #bot-commands)

Sending a message - !d discord.abc.Messageable.send
To get a random choice from a sequence - !d random.choice
Waiting for the user's message - !d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for
Adding a role to a member - !d discord.Member.add_roles

[spring flax]

Is this the full traceback?

Do you know which line the error is being raised from

[slate swan]

no, doesn't say

[slate swan]

hi again

is there a cmd for

    {delete new message}```

No there is none, you need to store old messages yourself.

[slate swan]

where do i start with this?

[flat solstice]

Anyone know any library that has support for membership screening/rules screening that is also compatible with d.py 1.7 Never mind I finally found the member.pending which seems to be what I'm looking for

[slate swan]

has something changed with playing music using discord bots, music doesnt want to play?

[slim ibex]

Don’t think so but be careful with music bots especially if they use YouTube API

[slate swan]

we don't help with music bots here

it goes against our community guidelines

[twin moon]

if self.guild.owner_id == obj.id:

[twin moon]

dont tell me you cant check bot perms

or owner perms

[slim ibex]

ooo

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @twin moon!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[twin moon]

||https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ivugumogij.sql||

[slate swan]

its playing an mp3 of my own voice, saying "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" does that still go against tos?

[slate swan]

not all all

however due to my own skepticism on how someone would use such knowledge i refrain from helping

[slate swan]

i understand

[slate swan]

could you possible just possibly, explain why when running the bot on a raspberry pi and playing sound, it works, yet when on windows proceeds not to?

[cyan star]

#help-donut If anyone can help much appreciated.

[frank tartan]

SO

so, im trying to upload one of my bots to repl. I'm getting this error.

those are the packages i've installed

I dont think im missing any though

[shut leaf]

can sm1 help

[cloud dawn]

You see those vertical lines?

Code has to match that

[full lily]

the error is in music.py

read the traceback carefully.

[shut leaf]

in both bro

in the main and also the music

[cloud dawn]

Also

import music is a youtube downloader, we don't help with that here.

[shut leaf]

bro just help me pls

please

[cloud dawn]

We won't help break ToS

[frank tartan]

can someone help me with my error?

[full lily]

discord.ui is only available in a certain branch of dpy

[slate swan]

i.e master branch

[full lily]

the master branch if I recall

right right

[slate swan]

you need to clone the repo manually and run the setup

but since you're using replit

[frank tartan]

then how do i install the correct one?

[slate swan]

and replit uses pypoetry.. I think

[cloud dawn]

discord.ui is from 2.0

[slate swan]

you can just add the git repository to the pyproject.toml file

[frank tartan]

but ive already tried that

[slate swan]

show me how you did it

[frank tartan]

i just put the link in there

[slate swan]

you did it wrong then

[frank tartan]

also, i cant find the link

[slate swan]

"discord.py" = { git = "https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py.git", branch = "master" }

put this below [tool.poetry.dependencies]

and ensure you remove any other versions

on the pyproject.toml file btw

then you should be able to just run the project and it'll update

otherwise click the shell tab in replit and

use the
poetry update command

[frank tartan]

"discord.py" = { git = "https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py.git", branch = "master" }
[tool.poetry.dependencies]

like this?

[slate swan]

i said below

also there already should be an existing tool.poetry.dependencies

do not add a new section, put it below the existing one

[frank tartan]

ok

[slim ibex]

Can you directly add to a poetry toml file like you can in rust cargo.toml’s

I would assume so

[slate swan]

of course

just don't mess with the lock file

[slim ibex]

Alright

yeah ik that

[slate swan]

and always consult documentation before asking for help

[cloud dawn]

Then we'd have no people to help anymore

[slate swan]

well the documentation doesn't always answer everything

still the person might save themselves so much trouble by reading it

[cloud dawn]

Activate windows

[frank tartan]

why

[covert otter]

hello. I have a question, how can I detect the message of a bot with the client

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

i just runed my bot and tryied to use avatar command

wait the command works but when i type +avatar @nick

[covert otter]

??

[tranquil badge]

He means use something like this

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
<whatever you want it to do>
    await bot.process_commands(message)

sorry if it doesn’t look right

on mobile

[covert otter]

Thx men

[slate swan]

or just listen()

which imo is better

[tranquil badge]

true

on_message is a whole ordeal

[slate swan]

yeah

[tranquil badge]

I’ve been dealing with it for a couple days now

it’s really annoying

[slate swan]

lol

[tranquil badge]

I need it for a few simple on message reactions

[slate swan]

i just use buttons

and not reactions

[tranquil badge]

but my testmode thingy I’m working on makes it pain

[slate swan]

then use buttons lol

[tranquil badge]

buttons?

[slate swan]

yeah

buttons are great

lol

[tranquil badge]

wdym by buttons

[slate swan]

!d disnake.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ui.Button

class disnake.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

!d disnake.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ui.View

class disnake.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

for buttons you would need to subclass view

im not sure what fork or if your using dpy

main branch of dpy has view tho

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[tranquil badge]

The thing is that I don’t need buttons

[slate swan]

ic whats the command for?

[tranquil badge]

Basically putting the bot in a toggle-able state that only I can use commands in

[slate swan]

just check the interaction author

[tranquil badge]

already doing that

[slate swan]

with interaction_check

[tranquil badge]

i see

but my problem rn is specifically that what I have currently is blocking all commands as if process_commands isn’t there

but it’s not referencing process commands at all

[potent spear]

make sure your process commands isn't in an if statement

[tranquil badge]

so whatever @ andy provided me with yesterday is breaking something upstream

it’s not

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[potent spear]

put all your code here, I'll spot the obvious

don't leak the token tho

[tranquil badge]

It’s in its own bot.event

[potent spear]

irrelevant

also tell me what command you've tried to run after sending the code

[tranquil badge]

simple help and another with is_owner() to check

also not currently able to send the code

[potent spear]

can't help then unfortunately

last option I can tell you on top of my head: disable the error handlers and the errors will start popping up by themselves

[tranquil badge]

Basically I’d get an error saying that the command didn’t exist or something of the sort

[slate swan]

can someone give any ideas what commands I can add to the bot because I have no ideas.

[slate swan]

hey there! If you're looking for ideas in relation to bot commands you should look into some popular apis such as the cat api, the reddit api or even the spotify API. They can really help to smark imagination!

[slate swan]

hey! It seems as if you're not properly loading your .env file. I haven't used repl however this guide may help in relation to loading it correctly c: https://towardsdatascience.com/using-dotenv-to-hide-sensitive-information-in-python-77ab9dfdaac8?gi=196befa37be1

oop forgot to ping @frank tartan sorry

[frank tartan]

repl doesnt use .env files

but speaking of which, i never put the token in

[slate swan]

Not sure what you mean, all you need to do is create the .env file in the main directory then tell python to load it.

[frank tartan]

yeah thats not how repl works...

[slate swan]

not right

his token isnt correct thats all

[frank tartan]

all i did is forget to add the token ;/

[slate swan]

lol

[slate swan]

hey! Apologies for my lack of mention as that could be the case aswell. c:

[slate swan]

no problem

[frank tartan]

how can i make it so I can do

-removeRoles {roleName}

and it will remove that role from everyone

[slate swan]

something like

for member in ctx.guild.members:
    ...

[frank tartan]

for member in ctx.guild.members:
        role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name=(roleName))
        await ctx.member.remove_roles(role)

so this?

[frank tartan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: IndexError: list index out of range
i get that error

[slate swan]

just member its a for loop

!e

numberlist = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
for number in numberlist:
    print(number)

no need for interaction

just

await member.ban

[frank tartan]

then why isnt it working???

[slate swan]

await ctx.member.remove_roles(role) remove ctx

[frank tartan]

kk

[frank tartan]

it just doesnt remove any roles

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.remove_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.remove\_roles

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

[slate swan]

can your bot remove roles?

[frank tartan]

yes. it can remove roles on other commands

[slate swan]

thats what happens when its removed

[frank tartan]

do you have any ideas?

[manic wing]

you need to do self.member

self.member = member in your init

[cold hearth]

So I’m getting back into discord bots, what api is everyone using after discord.py went away?

[jade tartan]

Hi i dont know if i should ask this am guessing this is a #web-development type question but it wont let me import 'semantic-ui-css/semantic.min.css' this?

To design my buttons for my discord bot dashboard

[frank tartan]

mainly discord.py 2.0 and pycord (i think)

[wicked atlas]

Theres a few. pycord is one of them. I prefer disnake though

[gleaming torrent]

so I just got rate limited for rerunning my bots code twice

Literally how

"Too many requests"

[wicked atlas]

yeah i would say thats more #web-development

[final iron]

Everyone is still using the same api

It's the wrapper that changed

[frank tartan]

so can anybody help me make a command that removes a sertan role from everybody on the server?

[cold hearth]

I don’t understand y’all are still using discord.py? Even though it’s been archived on GitHub?

[gleaming torrent]

How long does rate limiting last?

[final iron]

I don't use it

And it still works

[cold hearth]

I saw pycord I’ll look into disnake thanks

[final iron]

Most people just don't want to switch

[magic ore]

Are you using replit

[gleaming torrent]

yes

[cold hearth]

Ah ok what are you using then?

[gleaming torrent]

Got rate limited for running my bots code twice

[magic ore]

That's why, multiple users share the same ip on replit

[final iron]

Disnake

[cold hearth]

Awesome I’ll look into it thanks

[final iron]

Yup

[gleaming torrent]

Well how long do they last?

[magic ore]

They're dynamic, iirc from 30 minutes to an hour usually

Long term solution is not using replit/free hosts

Short term solution is waiting

[slate swan]

is there a way i can have my bot repeat a message when i do a command? for instance

bot: hi
bot: hi
bot: hi```

[brittle axle]

Im trying to make an add role command but it keeps on saying missing permissions even though I have manage role in testing server here is the code:

@bot.command()
@has_permissions(manage_roles = True)
async def addrole(ctx, member: discord.Member, role: discord.Role):
await member.add_roles(role)
await ctx.send(f"Added role to {member}")

[slate swan]

or do i have to individually type out "hi"

[brittle axle]

you can use a for loop

or a while loop

[slate swan]

thanks ill look into it

[slate swan]

while(true):```

this?

[brittle axle]

show the whole code for that command

[slate swan]

ok wait

wait a min

what would true =?

[empty veldt]

True

[slate swan]

o

[brittle axle]

anyone knows how to fix it?

[final iron]

Send the full traceback

[frank tartan]

for loops

[frank tartan]

it should be
@commands.has_permissions(manage_roles=True)

[empty veldt]

umm they probably have it imported

[frank tartan]

eh maybe

[empty veldt]

they won't get "missing permission" error

[brittle axle]

ok

[deep torrent]

How do I make a giveaway for only people with a certain role

[deep torrent]

I have the giveaway part made I just need the role part

[frank tartan]

for member in ctx.guild.members:
        role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name=(roleName))
        await member.remove_roles(role)

when my code gets to this, it basically just skips over it

[brittle axle]

@final iron here is the full traceback

[final iron]

If you read the docs

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

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

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

[final iron]

Does your bot have the appropriate permissions?

[brittle axle]

yes

i gave it administrator

[final iron]

the added Roles must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

Have you read this note?

[brittle axle]

wait

[brittle axle]

yes

my role is the highest

wait i got the problem my bots role is lower than the role i need to add

let me see wether amking my bot the second highest role works

it worked thanks for the help

[frank tartan]

@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def removeAll(ctx, emoji=None):
    author_id = ctx.author.id
    if emoji == None:
        await ctx.reply("I need a role to remove..")
        return

    newEmoji = emoji.split(":")
    newEmoji2 = newEmoji[1]
    roleName = newEmoji2.replace("_", " ")

    for member in ctx.guild.members:
        role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name=(roleName))
        await member.remove_roles(role)

    await ctx.reply(f"I have removed the `{roleName}` from everyone.")

when I run that, it runs the await ctx.reply(f"~~~~") thing, but it doesn't remove the role from everyone

[final iron]

camelCase

[frank tartan]

dont talk to me about it

[final iron]

print roleName

Verify its correct

[frank tartan]

it is

[final iron]

Remove the brackets around roleName

[frank tartan]

kk

[final iron]

I'm not sure if python cares about it

But they're not doing anything

[frank tartan]

still

[final iron]

Wait

No way in hell I've been confusing brackets and parentheses

bruv

[final iron]

Do you have member intents?

[frank tartan]

im sorry if im dumb, but i dont believe so

[final iron]

Personally I would suggest you just set all the intents to true

!d discord.Intents.all

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.all

classmethod all()```
A factory method that creates a [`Intents`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents "discord.Intents") with everything enabled.

[frank tartan]

how do i do that again?

[final iron]

Look above

[frank tartan]

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[final iron]

Use this unless you have a specific reason to not have all intents enabled

[final iron]

spoonfeeding discord.Intents.all()

[frank tartan]

no error, but it still doesnt do anything

[final iron]

Did you do intents=discord.Intents.all() inside your bot constructor?

[frank tartan]

no

[frank tartan]

i have nothing about indents in my code

[final iron]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[final iron]

So

In your bot constructor like shown above you would use the intents kwarg

Therefore intents=discord.Intents.all()

[frank tartan]

from discord import Intents

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

PREFIX = "-"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(PREFIX),  help_command=None, intents=discord.Intents.all())
```?

@final iron

RuntimeError: Event loop is closed

[final iron]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or("-"), help_command=None, intents=discord.Intents.all())

You really just need that

You don't need to define intents since its not going to be used

[frank tartan]

well now i cant even run my bot 😦

[final iron]

Can you send the full traceback?

[frank tartan]

give me a minute

[brittle axle]

lol i also had the same problem with removeall roles

it didnt remove anything

[slate swan]

hey so the buttons stack for some reason, any way to make them not?

msgn = await ctx.reply(embed=embed,components=[
                Button(style=ButtonStyle.green, label="MassPing", emoji='✅', custom_id="massping"),
                Button(style=ButtonStyle.blue, label="MassJoin", emoji='✅', custom_id="massjoin"),
                Button(style=ButtonStyle.red, label="Finish", emoji='❌', custom_id="cancel")
            ])```

using discord_components

[boreal ravine]

make it into a 2d list

it should work afaik from what I've heard

[slate swan]

still stacks

dk what you mean by 2d but i looked it up and i figured this

like the buttons work, they just stack

[obsidian ledge]

do u want it to look like this

wait

[slate swan]

yeah

side by side

[obsidian ledge]

i used buttoncallbacks

and renamed it

like i copy and pasted it but renamed the "button_callback" thingy to "button_callback1"

[slate swan]

wdym buttoncallbacks

like is it in d_components lib or some other lib

[slate swan]

hm

okay

[obsidian ledge]

then add like nunmbers after the "button_callback"

so it doesnt replace the new ones with the current

[slate swan]

why set the label when its already done in the kwarg

[obsidian ledge]

idk

i just wrote it out of my memory

i tihnk it was because i had "button.disable" or something like that

[slate swan]

and why the examples he hasnt even subclassed View

idk im kinda new to making discord bots so

are you using discord-components?

yeah it was the first thing i learned for buttons so i just stuck with it

yikes

should i be using pycord for buttons or something 😭

disnake is good for buttons or just use master branch

you can , but pycord is not a too good fork imo

well , components for all forks remain same

[exotic linden]

So im using discord-components because yes... anyways while trying to get the person who clicked the button while inputing to a function to add to a database its saying it is missing a required argument

TypeError: MonkeyDataTools.check_for_user() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user'

ok so nevermind i have severe smoothbrainness

[valid perch]

Do you have any code?

[rough wadi]

yes

@bot.command()
async def addon(ctx, user=None, days=None):

    try:

        if user == None:
            embed = discord.Embed(color = discord.Colour.red())
            embed.set_author(name='Addon Command')
            embed.add_field(name="Error", value="`You Did not specify a user`")
            embed.set_footer(text="Developed by Noelp")

            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

        elif days == None:
            embed = discord.Embed(color = discord.Colour.red())
            embed.set_author(name='Addon Command')
            embed.add_field(name="Error", value="`You Did not specify a amount of days`")
            embed.set_footer(text="Developed by Noelp")

            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

        elif Check_User(user) == False:
            embed = discord.Embed(color = discord.Colour.red())
            embed.set_author(name='Addon Command')
            embed.add_field(name="Error", value="`The user is not in the DataBase`")
            embed.set_footer(text="Developed by Noelp")

            await ctx.send(embed=embed)




        else:
            for user in dbdate["Data"]:
                print(user)
            embed = discord.Embed(color = discord.Colour.green())
            embed.set_author(name='Addon Command')
            embed.add_field(name="Success", value="Bruh")
            embed.set_footer(text="Developed by Noelp")

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

[valid perch]

Well you'll want to get the user's dict

Then when you have it, you can change it

[rough wadi]

oh ok

[slate swan]

how can i make a global var for my db connection with a bot var?

im not sure

[valid perch]

bot.variable = value

[slate swan]

and if its a cog it would be self.bot right?

[quick gust]

yea should be something like self.db = bot.db or however you made your db connection

[slate swan]

makes sense

[quick gust]

sorry I edited, it's not self.bot

[valid perch]

Yup, or just self.bot.db

[slate swan]

same thing

🏃

[slate swan]

how can i tho

im making it in a async function but when i try to use it outside it its not defined

[valid perch]

wdym

[quick gust]

huh?

could you explain a little more

[slate swan]

is there a way i can make my bot cooldown

not for a command, but for an event

[rough wadi]

Hey, sorry for bothering you but I can't find it online may you please send an example?

[slate swan]

async def dbc(self):
    self.bot.dbc = await ...

[quick gust]

you are making a db connection here?

[slate swan]

yes

[quick gust]

I usually make a db connection in my main.py, (bot subclass) as bot.db, then in a cog I just have self.db = bot.db and now self.db is a bot.db instance and you can do stuff normally like self.db.execute or whatever

[slate swan]

never mind i got it

[quick gust]

alr

[slate swan]

sorry instances confuse me sometimes lol

[final iron]

Like a real smooth brain I open and close the connection in each command

[quick gust]

happens

[quick gust]

uh oh spaghettio

[slate swan]

me rn: 🚶

[maiden fable]

And thats.... not the correct way

[quick gust]

I think he knows

[maiden fable]

It not only makes the command slow, but can also result in your DB getting corrupted

[final iron]

Now that wouldn't be ideal

[maiden fable]

Indeed

[final iron]

I'll change it tmr

So what would I do?

[maiden fable]

Just like what Infernum does

[slate swan]

i just did

async def dbconnection(self):
    self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("")

[final iron]

How would I access this from a cog?

[slate swan]

so each time i would just do

cursor self.db.execute(f"SELECT * FROM mytable;")

[slate swan]

you add it inside the cog

since its a var inside of the class

[final iron]

So I have to define this in every cog?

[slate swan]

you can probably make a bot var like shown above

[slate swan]

^

let me do it myself smh idk why i havent

[final iron]

So if this is how I would execute the code, how would I commit?

[slate swan]

commit by a db commit?

[final iron]

Yes

[slate swan]

self.db.commit()

db is a var inside the class thats why your using self

[quick gust]

how do you commit normally?

[slate swan]

if you made the bot var just bot.db.commit()

[final iron]

await connection.commit()

[quick gust]

so you can just do

[slate swan]

🚪🚶

the var name lol

[quick gust]

self.connection = bot.connection

await self.connection.commit or await self.connection.execute basically everything u would do normally

[final iron]

Aight

[slate swan]

this is what i have in my subclass

async def connection(self):
    self.bot.db = await aiosqlite.connect("")

and in my cog i have

 self.db = bot.db

but its not working

[quick gust]

in your bot subclass?

[slate swan]

yes

[quick gust]

no error?

[slate swan]

nah it just says its any

like the coro

[quick gust]

did u add self.bot.db = None

[slate swan]

in?

[quick gust]

in the class

a bot variable

actually not sure if its needed

[slate swan]

i doubt its needed

because in my cog its not saying its the coro but i do have it in my bot subclass

[quick gust]

its too early for me ill help u later

[slate swan]

relatable

[final iron]

My code now

🚪 🏃

[slate swan]

😭

[lament mesa]

call the function

or use asyncio.loop.run_until_complete

[slate swan]

wdym

[lament mesa]

call the connection function for the attribute to be set

the attribute wont be set unless that function is called

[slate swan]

it says it is the attr but its just in grey and it says that the bot has no attr with it so its not making it a bot var

[lament mesa]

did you call the function?

!e ```py
class Foo:
def bar(self):
self.a = 10

foo = Foo()
try:
print(foo.a)
except AttributeError:
print("errr")

foo.bar()

[slate swan]

what's the class in which you make the connection?

the bot subclass?

[slate swan]

ic

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

so self would be the bot .., self.bot.db should raise an error imo

yes

make it self.db :p

that would be BotClass.db

[slate swan]

still says
bot.db [db: any]

[potent spear]

no need to redefine the db in a cog if it's already defined in your subclass imo

[slate swan]

what's wrong with it?

[slate swan]

ik

[slate swan]

well its methods wont work ofc

[potent spear]

have you checked the docs of your db and compared?

[slate swan]

yes

[potent spear]

there's a difference between the sync and async ones

[slate swan]

yes ik

#bot subclass
async def dbconnection(self):
    self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("")

cog

self.db = bot.db

just doesnt have the methods of the db

[slate swan]

thats not it , the Any shows up in the cog right?

[slate swan]

yes

you dont need to worry about that , its just because Bot object does not have that attribute

you defined it manually

instead if you typehint bot as your bot class in the cog's __init__ , it will appear as the Connection object

let me check

and it does make sense

😳 yes , but , since you are connecting to the db only after your bot is ready .... i doubt if it will do that
so , just print or ctx.send it using a command

wont work with me tho

their not in the same folder lol

so what , you can import it

[vale wing]

How to close the connection when the bot is going off

[slate swan]

no i cant

close connection from discord's websocket?

[slate swan]

i think he ment the db connection

[vale wing]

Db connection

Asyncpg in my case

[slate swan]

since you said it can corrupt itself

[slate swan]

most dbs have a .close() method which u can use on disconnect method

!d discord.on_disconnect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_disconnect

discord.on_disconnect()```
Called when the client has disconnected from Discord, or a connection attempt to Discord has failed. This could happen either through the internet being disconnected, explicit calls to close, or Discord terminating the connection one way or the other.

This function can be called many times without a corresponding [`on_connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_connect "discord.on_connect") call.

[vale wing]

Ok thx

[slate swan]

ill use it

[vale wing]

So when I make keyboard interrupt it will occur right?

[slate swan]

but its called only when the bot closes automatically , not by yourself

[vale wing]

I need it to close the connection on keyboard interrupt

Literally every time the bot finishes its work

[vale wing]

Explicit calls to close, might be called as well gotta test

[slate swan]

well if you are closing it by yourself , it means the whole script is stopping
so that code will never execute

for me , i close the database as soon i finish the reading/writing operation

[vale wing]

Connection needs to be closed

[slate swan]

and should i close my cursor each time

is it bad if i dont?

[vale wing]

And people say it's not the good practice

[slate swan]

nah , you dont need to

[vale wing]

I could implement it that way easily

[slate swan]

alr

[slate swan]

ik , im not dependent on my database completely so i do that

so should i make a command that closes the db?

you can..

and then turn off the bot

🚶

seems like a pain

doesnt the connection close as soon as the script stops running

[slate swan]

im not sure

[vale wing]

The connection closes when the close method is called ig or when the timeout occurs

[slate swan]

docs says

async close() → None
Complete queued queries/cursors and close the connection.

so ig its like a return?

is it bad if i dont use a cursor var 🧍‍♂️

[potent spear]

which docs are you using?
I remember my async db didn't need a cursor...

[slate swan]

aiosqlite

i just do .execute() without a var

[slate swan]

its optional , you can use the cursor , or the db connection itself

[potent spear]

I'd just suggest you to use your cursor in a contextmanager I guess

[slate swan]

applies for all sqlite3 libs

idk i like not using a cursor

[potent spear]

async with aiosqlite.connect(...) as db:
    db.row_factory = aiosqlite.Row
    async with db.execute('SELECT * FROM some_table') as cursor:
        async for row in cursor:
            value = row['column']

    await db.execute('INSERT INTO foo some_table')
    assert db.total_changes > 0```
that's an example
rest would be [#databases](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/342318764227821568/)

[slate swan]

thats from docs lol

[potent spear]

correct

[slate swan]

i used the generator to see the rows

[potent spear]

everyone does

readability ftw

[slate swan]

i thought there was a better way lol

but ig not

[potent spear]

just change the row_factory to avoid having to look "what index" your column is

[slate swan]

i just index it lol

since i dont have much rows

[potent spear]

not yet

[slate swan]

🏃

[vale wing]

Maybe after bot is shutted down I can just get new asyncio loop and run the coroutine that closes database connection after bot.run

[potent spear]

nope, just overwrite your close function

class CustomBot(discord.Client):  # or inherit commands.Bot
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        ...

    async def close(self):
        await super().close()
        # close the stinky db here```

[vale wing]

Ah this thing

This thing is called whenever the program stops running right?

[potent spear]

correct

[vale wing]

Alr ty

[slate swan]

im not gonna even close the db connection🧑‍🦯

[pliant gulch]

The garbage collector would probably handle it anyways

[potent spear]

true, but this can be handy in case you for example want the "last time the bot closed/went offline" or whatever

I don't use it, nor do I implement such useless stuff

[slate swan]

whats a __init__.py file for seen it many times but im confused as people say its to make your file like a module or make it like a tree for all imports

[potent spear]

#python-discussion

[slate swan]

oh sorry

[potent spear]

you can ask it here tho, but if you want fast answers, you can go in active textchannels
I'm not a mod lol

[slate swan]

ic

[boreal ravine]

My bot isn't sending the help message, there are no errors

[boreal ravine]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/448271/what-is-init-py-for

[slate swan]

is the help_command=None?

[boreal ravine]

no

it's set to my help command

[slate swan]

ic thanks

[boreal ravine]

this works though

not sure why my other command doesn't

[slate swan]

its helpful in imports and changing paths , like commands.Bot actually is discord.ext.commands.bot.Bot

[boreal ravine]

isn't it in the core.py file? the bot class

[slate swan]

discrd hmm

[slate swan]

nope

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/45d498c1b76deaf3b394d17ccf56112fa691d160/discord/ext/commands/bot.py#L1036-L1044

seems like i replied to wrong message)

[slate swan]

well , you get what i mean xd

[pliant gulch]

Okimii I am opening the rewrites repo soon!

you can soon see how diff it is now from dpy

[slate swan]

YES

[pliant gulch]

😔

[slate swan]

now i can make my 9th bot

how would i do

+send #channel {text}

[slate swan]

typehint the first param (after ctx ) as discord.TextChannel

[slate swan]

i have a bot thats name newgen should i make it in lefi since lefi is the next generation wrapper?

@boreal ravine did you make any overwrite in the help class , other than send_help's?

[exotic hill]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[boreal ravine]

yes

I overwrited every method that started with send_

Bro what

bruh

[pliant gulch]

No

Lefi is not being developed anymore

Since I'm making a rewrite right now of it

[slate swan]

so what is it gonna be called😔

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
   async with ctx.typing():
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
        await ctx.discord.TextChannel.send('ho')```

[pliant gulch]

Rin,

[slate swan]

is this what u mean?

[boreal ravine]

bruh

[slate swan]

😔

[pliant gulch]

I got the repo private rn I will be opening it later

[slate swan]

sad day

[slate swan]

does the tag command actually exist?

[slate swan]

im new to this what

[pliant gulch]

how are you just now finding this out

I told you like a few times I was rewriting

[slate swan]

then ill make a new bot in rin

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

you didnt told me the name 🧑‍🦯

[boreal ravine]

oh wait

[slate swan]

overwriteded send_group_help?

[boreal ravine]

uh i havent

my bad thanks

[slate swan]

yw

[boreal ravine]

you are supposed to send it to a discord.TextChannel object, not the class directly

[slate swan]

i said the parameter , not as a method

[pliant gulch]

from __future__ import annotations

import asyncio
import logging
import os

import rin

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)


async def main() -> None:
    token: str = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")  # type: ignore
    client = rin.GatewayClient(token, intents=32509)

    @client.once(rin.Event.READY)
    async def on_ready(user: rin.User) -> None:
        print(f"Logged in as: {user.id}")

    @client.on(rin.Event.MESSAGE_CREATE)
    async def on_message(data: dict) -> None:
        print(data)

    await client.start()


asyncio.run(main())
``` Heres how it currently looks

Not to shabby

Also I am vaporizing any get_ methods

As now is a class specific cache

[slate swan]

your starting from the start !!!!!!!!

[quick gust]

[pliant gulch]

E.g get_user -> rin.User.cache.get(id)

[slate swan]

looks like a dpy fork🧑‍🦯

[pliant gulch]

are you serious

[slate swan]

im sorry😭

[quick gust]

what version of dpy are you on

lmfao

[slate swan]

3.0

🏃

[quick gust]

makes sense

[keen talon]

[pliant gulch]

The looks don't matter either how! Everything internal is super nice

And the package itself is typed strongly as of speaking

[slate swan]

you got a good point

but can it beat disnake😳

[pliant gulch]

maybe

[slate swan]

👀

[slate swan]

and how is making and api wrapper look so easy smh

[pliant gulch]

what

[slate swan]

looks easy to do idk you make it seem easy

[pliant gulch]

some what easy 2 do for me cause I've made a few api wrappers already

[slate swan]

:kek:

[maiden fable]

Wait, decorators inside function?

[pliant gulch]

what?

[maiden fable]

Functions inside function
Decorators inside function

The main function ^^^

[pliant gulch]

Where

ohh

[maiden fable]

In the example u gave 😐

[pliant gulch]

Yea decorators in functions lol

why can't you do that?

[maiden fable]

Rip

Won't be better if u do asyncio.run(bot.run()) tho?

[pliant gulch]

bro

bot.run() doesn't exist

[maiden fable]

I meant asyncio.run(client.start())

[heavy folio]

whats future

[maiden fable]

!d future

[unkempt canyon]

\_\_future\_\_

Source code: Lib/__future__.py

__future__ is a real module, and serves three purposes:

• To avoid confusing existing tools that analyze import statements and expect to find the modules they’re importing.

• To ensure that future statements run under releases prior to 2.1 at least yield runtime exceptions (the import of __future__ will fail, because there was no module of that name prior to 2.1).

• To document when incompatible changes were introduced, and when they will be — or were — made mandatory. This is a form of executable documentation, and can be inspected programmatically via importing __future__ and examining its contents...

Similar names: term.__future__

[maiden fable]

stdlib

[heavy folio]

oh

[pliant gulch]

tbh I think for this rewrite I'm gonna not add run

Not sure if it's needed

[static lintel]

hey im getting this error but when i try to install DiscordUtils[voice] it says no matches found: DiscordUtils[voice]

[potent spear]

1 what command are you executing?
2 where did you get it from?
you probably installed discordutils, but not discordutils[voice] (see it as an add-on)

[static lintel]

https://pypi.org/project/DiscordUtils/
i was following the music example

[potent spear]

how have you tried to install the lib?

[slate swan]

pip install DiscordUtils[voice] this command?

[static lintel]

yes

[potent spear]

can't be

unless you're in a venv

what happens when you run the said command? does it say 'requirement already satisfied"?

[slate swan]

what python version do you have?

[static lintel]

3.9.6

[potent spear]

installed via pip before?

[static lintel]

only for discord.py

[slate swan]

That's weird because it actually works for me

Try using python3.9 -m pip install DiscordUtils[voice]

[static lintel]

still getting no matches found

[maiden fable]

Try installing from GitHub

[static lintel]

i was able to install DiscordUtils fine but its only DiscordUtils[voice] that doesn't work. if i download from Github won't it just download DiscordUtils?

[slate swan]

It will install music too

Along with invite tracker and pagination

[maiden fable]

U can do

git clone url
cd folder
pip install .[voice]

Where url and folder are in respect to GitHub

[slate swan]

Or just copy paste this file inside the DiscordUtils installation
https://github.com/toxicrecker/DiscordUtils/blob/master/DiscordUtils/Music.py 😳

[maiden fable]

🤣 facts

[pliant gulch]

taking a quick look

holy crap, this looks badly written

[maiden fable]

Facts

[slate swan]

Is naming the file Music.py okay? The capital M

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/toxicrecker/DiscordUtils/blob/fb235b3c8dc4c3ff7f2fefd71a7d43dfe0c5a0cf/DiscordUtils/Music.py#L294

[unkempt canyon]

DiscordUtils/Music.py line 294

class Song(object):```

[pliant gulch]

Lmao what is this python 2?

[maiden fable]

badly written -> easier to understand to me hehe

[maiden fable]

Bad naming lol

[pliant gulch]

no

file names should be in lower case

[maiden fable]

My man still living in Python 2.6 era

[slate swan]

PascalCase is meant only for classes ryt

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

☠️why would someone intentionally write it in 2.x , dpy is supported only after 3.5 iirc

[maiden fable]

Mhm

My man still living in the Python 2.6 era :DDD

[static lintel]

wait sorry i left for a sec

[maiden fable]

It's fine

[static lintel]

was there anything i should try to get it to work?

[maiden fable]

Yea...

[maiden fable]

^^^

[pliant gulch]

Doubt they wrote it in python 2 but class Foo(object): ... something no longer needed

Was required in python 2 though

😔

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

url = ""

🧑‍🦯

[maiden fable]

url = str()

[static lintel]

ok so i got it downloaded

[maiden fable]

Now do

pip install .[voice]

In that folder in a cmd

[slate swan]

async def ytbettersearch(query):
    url = f"https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={query}"
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(url) as resp:
            html = await resp.text()
    index = html.find('watch?v')
    url = ""
    while True:
        char = html[index]
        if char == '"':
            break
        url += char
        index += 1
    url = f"https://www.youtube.com/{url}"
    return url

url = "" 🧑‍🦯

if it was in rust 😳

let link : &str

[slate swan]

illegal

is legal

[maiden fable]

My man drinking too much lately

[slate swan]

🤸🏌️

[pliant gulch]

for (const auto &link : str) cpp

[slate swan]

cpp god 👀

[maiden fable]

I'm striving to become a React God by not learning React by learning it

[slate swan]

im going to learn ruby or php😳

[pliant gulch]

When you realize it's called React cause it uses reactive programming paradigm

[slate swan]

just learn python and make discord bots

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

Learning React cz a friend of mine, with whom am making a project, wants me to

[static lintel]

ngl idk if i did this right

[maiden fable]

Tf?

[static lintel]

i googled it 😭

[slate swan]

Lmfao

[slate swan]

@static lintel just do this

[static lintel]

like in the folder?

[pliant gulch]

How would this even work, this package doesn't have a setup.py for pip to use

[maiden fable]

No I meant that's correct

[pliant gulch]

Oh you cloned the wrong folder

[slate swan]

going to learn swift feeling like a boss you already know😎

[copper gulch]

!e
for number in range(100, 8):
print number

[unkempt canyon]

@copper gulch :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

003 |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^
004 | SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

[slate swan]

copy the content in Music.py , paste it inside the DiscordUtils you installed , go to __init__.py and from .Music import * add this ( this is 1 way of doing that )

[copper gulch]

Oh yea

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

print with no parenthesis, python 2 moment

[maiden fable]

print([num for num in range(100, 8)]) tho it isn't gonna print anything

[slate swan]

2.0 could do that🧑‍🦯

[vast gale]

@timid wagon hi

[timid wagon]

Yes hoi

[copper gulch]

Yea xd

Output is 0

[maiden fable]

Let's go back and start coding in Python 2 again

[slate swan]

you guys are on 3?

already on 4🤸

[static lintel]

import music is already there tho?

[slate swan]

Ah cool then

Ignore it in that case

[static lintel]

hmmm anything else i should try?

[slate swan]

going to sleep gn🛌

[slate swan]

Nah , it should work now

[static lintel]

still getting the same error

[slate swan]

What's the error? And your code

[maiden fable]

Show yr imports and file structure

@static lintel

Ik the issue

[slate swan]

i don't want to be the person but it uses ytdl

[maiden fable]

Ik

But ig we have helped them till here, let's just finish it. Won't be helping with more code issues after this 🤷‍♂️

[static lintel]

do i still need to show since i followed the example line for line?

[maiden fable]

Yea... Show yr imports and file structure

[maiden fable]

And file structure

[static lintel]

im sorry im new to this. what is a file structure? 😭

like this?

[maiden fable]

Which IDE u using? There should be a files and folder list on the left side of the window

[static lintel]

ohhh

does that look any better?

[maiden fable]

Rip u didn't open the whole folder in the IDE

Anyways

[maiden fable]

This is your whole folder where every bot file is present?

[slate swan]

i think im gonna learn ruby🧑‍🦯

[maiden fable]

Rip

Learn Lua, ezz

[static lintel]

yeah i haven't touched anything

[maiden fable]

Do one thing... In your IDE, go to the open tab, and select Open Folder and open the folder named learning python since that's the main folder with every bot file

[timid wagon]

I mean as per the error you received, you installed the package without voice

[slate swan]

no🏃 rubys syntax looks easy and some what like python

[maiden fable]

We tryna do something else

[timid wagon]

I guess I'm late to the party xP

[maiden fable]

Lua's syntax is also identical to Python...

[twin moon]

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'id'```

[maiden fable]

obj is a number

Could be its already the ID?

[maiden fable]

Yea perfect

[static lintel]

sorry that took so long

[maiden fable]

Now where's the music.py file?

[slate swan]

no🏃

[maiden fable]

It's fine. Opening the whole folder is better since that way u can quickly access each file without opening repeatedly

[maiden fable]

Yes 🏃

[slate swan]

looks like if ruby and python had a baby

[maiden fable]

Lmaoo

[maiden fable]

Do one thing... Move the DiscordUtils folder out of the DiscordUtils-master folder

The whole folder

Just drag the folder out of the other folder and place it with other files

[twin moon]

self.client.user ???

[maiden fable]

???

[static lintel]

ok ok just finished this

[maiden fable]

Now delete the other discord utils master folder

[twin moon]

https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=client user#nextcord.ClientUser.id

[static lintel]

done

[maiden fable]

Sooo?

[maiden fable]

Now, do from .DiscordUtils import Music in your imports

Now u should be able to do music = Music()

[twin moon]

ehm

you know

[maiden fable]

Ik

[maiden fable]

It's Music bot

[twin moon]

that module violates TOS

[maiden fable]

Music not music

[maiden fable]

Ik

[static lintel]

oops lol

[maiden fable]

@twin moon ^^^

[static lintel]

uh i somehow managed to get a new error

[maiden fable]

Ah thought so haha

Add this line before importing music

from sys import path
path.insert(1, ".") 

Gonna work then (:

[static lintel]

i still got the same error message

[twin moon]

'ClientUser' object has no attribute '_roles'

Which line

Seems like a nextcord issue

[twin moon]

if

[maiden fable]

Yo @slate swan please tell them about the import error

My way not working lol

[twin moon]

Wait, try doing interaction.guild.me

[twin moon]

NO

[maiden fable]
