discord-bots

[honest vessel]

that explains why he had to ask about that attribute tho

[slate swan]

Some people are just.....born different

[honest vessel]

lol

[cloud dawn]

Internals of dispy are also really bad

Most of us suggest Nextcord or Disnake

Some also Hikari

[slate swan]

But arent both forked and work on the same internals?

[slate swan]

Movie cinematic vibes

[cloud dawn]

They edited it

[slate swan]

oh

[sage otter]

I’ve hardly seen anyone come in here for hikari

[cloud dawn]

That means you are not active enough ||jk||

[devout iris]

Can i use cv2 lib woth discord.py ??

For pfps

[cloud dawn]

Don't recommend it.

[devout iris]

Why not 🤷‍♂️

[sage otter]

Hikari is a pretty nice library tho. I prefer tanjun over lightbulb tbh.

[slate swan]

Depends but processing power ;-;

[cloud dawn]

External process okay but not combined.

[devout iris]

Ah yes

i c

[cloud dawn]

I would make an API that handles the request and off-loads it to another process since it is highly blocking.

You are using an API for Discord wdym?

[slate swan]

Nvm

you mean a wrapper?

[slate swan]

Candy wrapper?

api wrapper

Lmao, nvm my message

an api isnt the same as a api wrapper

[slate swan]

Omg, you're so intelligent

idk why you said and api tbh

[slate swan]

doesnt make sense

[vale wing]

Can you tell more detailed? Like for generating rank cards or smth more complicated

[slate swan]

Uhhhh, I never said that

logs can prove me right tho

lol

No comments

[devout iris]

Actually rank cards + pfp color change etc.

[vale wing]

I think PIL would be enough wouldn't it

[devout iris]

i didn't use any API

[slate swan]

With numpy

[vale wing]

Epic combo

[slate swan]

Its not ideal always lmao

[devout iris]

Yea maybe but i was learning open cv nowadays :d

[vale wing]

Cv can be a bit uh too heavy

[devout iris]

Yea so heavy

[slate swan]

You dont incorporate anything within your bot

[devout iris]

Wdym?

[slate swan]

Use an API as pandabweer said

[honest vessel]

so who are coders form here that runs disnake? admins or regulars?

[slate swan]

wut

[slate swan]

||!ot||

[devout iris]

Okay i will search on google for APIs

[slate swan]

We were talking about your own API-

[devout iris]

Ah :///

i didn't make any api

[honest vessel]

@slate swanthem who runs disnake, i heard is from this community but are they normal discord users or mostly admins?

[slate swan]

wdym by run disnake

[honest vessel]

those who contribute

[slate swan]

Ideal, otherwise using opencv within your bot could ensure potential crashes

[slate swan]

what about them

[honest vessel]

runs the fork

[slate swan]

wdym run the fork?

[final iron]

What

[slate swan]

Maintain

Lol

[final iron]

What is going on

[slate swan]

ahhhh

[honest vessel]

yes maintain, sorry bad english

[slate swan]

to many

[honest vessel]

anyone has link for disnake discord, i might join there now when i moved over from discordpy

[slate swan]

https://discord.gg/gJDbCw8aQy

[honest vessel]

ty brother

[slate swan]

yw

Disnake server has less than 1k members?

yes

weird

not really

its just underrated

Yeah

which some forks are really overrated

pycord

[devout iris]

Yeah already 100% CPU usage thanks to opencv on my pc lol

[slate swan]

Lets save pycord further humiliation and change the topic

[slim ibex]

nextcord > all

[slate swan]

bro what?

[slate swan]

Yea

[slate swan]

yes

[slim ibex]

wdym lmao

[slate swan]

We dont discriminate, tysm for your statements

[slate swan]

hikari > any dpy fork
(i dont use hikari)

i like my dpy forks but the statements that danny have said are true

[slate swan]

Some random unmaintained dpy fork >>>>>>>>>>>

[slate swan]

LMAO

[slim ibex]

🧐

[honest vessel]

guys no need for fight over forks..

lets be diplomatic, they all has pros n cons

[slate swan]

guys its obvious just go with discord.rb

[slim ibex]

not tryna fight just trying to state nextcord is my preferred

[slate swan]

We discuss
We dont fight, lmao

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

Discord has a ruby version?

[slate swan]

yes?

why would it

Woah

[slim ibex]

nah DSharp+

[slate swan]

and its not a discord version

its a api wrapper

[slate swan]

I mean same thing, you understood my point

[honest vessel]

dont see much discussion 😛

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honest vessel]

more like namedropping

[slate swan]

Lmao

discord rb is to bare tho

you have to use a bare endpoint to add a reaction

[honest vessel]

use my fork, i changed all discord. into d.

will nvr be updated code

[slate swan]

||@slate swan Ruby sucks, make a discord API wrapper in Assembly x86||

[slate swan]

shes got a point

[honest vessel]

how about GO?

[slate swan]

but ruby doesnt suck

[slate swan]

Hawt

Ruby is nice

[slate swan]

Stay humorous

[honest vessel]

is GO doing good? i nvr used it but i knew a guy made a irc bot in it while i did in python

[slate swan]

GO?

[slate swan]

average ruby hater

[honest vessel]

googles own language

[slate swan]

Never tried it welp

go is dead

[honest vessel]

its like pythonish

[slate swan]

Lmao

[honest vessel]

what i suspected, i had hard seeing GO takeover py

[slate swan]

go is just dead

[slate swan]

Python-ish* ||With a hyphen, thank me later||

[devout iris]

Discord is not supporting go for ``` messages :///

is there any lib for discord.go lel?

[potent spear]

https://tenor.com/view/who-cares-so-what-i-dont-care-gif-13690974

[devout iris]

print("hello world")

Like that

Rainbow colors

[slate swan]

imagine making a bot in cpp

[slate swan]

check pins

[slate swan]

Lets save discord API further humiliation and end this discussion

[honest vessel]

why not aint cpp just fun code to write, never ending story

[slate swan]

cpp is just so over complicated

[honest vessel]

my point 😄

[slate swan]

Not really

[slate swan]

yes really

[honest vessel]

decleration n decleration and files n files n codes of codes for simplest shit ever

[slim plover]

someone plz check #help-cupcake im new to discord.py and im trying to learn, i need help.

[slate swan]

I mean, assembly >>>>>

[slate swan]

hardcore assembly fan respect it

[honest vessel]

[devout iris]

Ah 🤦🏻🤦🏻 but it is complex....

[slate swan]

Nvm

Nice to hear brother!

😄

[final iron]

Donate me command ideas please

[honest vessel]

I am special dont mind me.

[final iron]

Im running out of ideas

[slate swan]

use an api to get the top movies this week

or the weather

[honest vessel]

make a radio

what i did

[final iron]

Doesn't seem very legal

Is copyright legally binding?

[honest vessel]

bot -> voicechat functions | db -> add remove webstations, and swap channels and see a list of channels

webradios are public n very legal

its basicly u open a browser n listen to webradio

[final iron]

But are you allowed to stream them through your bot

That's the real question

[honest vessel]

ofc i am

[slate swan]

if the song is copyright no

[honest vessel]

is it illegal turn radio on at work?

[slate swan]

no

[honest vessel]

then no

if i ripped songs that would be illegal

like ytdl

why i think outofbox n make webradio functions

[pliant gulch]

It all depends on the content your bot is streaming

[slate swan]

hey andyyyyyyyy

[pliant gulch]

So as long as they allow/have licenses that allow you to redistrubte/stream

Perfectly legal case^

[slate swan]

^

[honest vessel]

thing is i nvr safe actual music, i tho save song titles cause we have function like .dj ss (saves song being listenined to at a personal db list)

[pliant gulch]

Nothing wrong with not saving the music, even better probably

But the problem stems at whether or not you have the rights to stream

[honest vessel]

@pliant gulchsee it this way, i am in a car... turning music on those in my car hears it...

[slate swan]

copyright laws lol

[honest vessel]

i dont download any music

copyright in car?

[slate swan]

because they have the right to distribute the song

[pliant gulch]

Yes but your not in a car, and instead use the discord API to stream this music

[honest vessel]

its like i turn radio on at work

[pliant gulch]

Completely different in legality

[slate swan]

they ask for permission

[honest vessel]

they pay license for play it

[slate swan]

yes

[pliant gulch]

To explain further as well, downloading the music isn't the only issue it also including the streaming of the music

[honest vessel]

am just a listener

n my discord homies are in my car

[pliant gulch]

But your bot is streaming the audio/music

Specifically in youtubes case their ToS says no bots

I'm not sure about radios though

[slate swan]

theirs a difference between listening and streaming it lol

[honest vessel]

in the car

[pliant gulch]

The radio from your car is streaming the audio from the radio, your bot streams the audio from the radio

Do you see the difference here

Like it's perfectly legal for me to watch a youtube video, on the other hand I cannot stream the video via third source

As per their ToS

Its quite simple,

[slate swan]

your listening to it in a car which has a radio which the songs come from a radio station which a radio station asks the artist or team for permission

[honest vessel]

this is my radioplayer

i have no hardware

[pliant gulch]

So your bot somehow runs without hardware

[honest vessel]

but what happend,

[honest vessel]

thats pretty much it, and i display what url playing radio atm

youtube stream is diffrent cause copyright

radio pay for play songs

[final iron]

Not to accuse you of anything but one of the biggest causes of that is when you use a modded discord client and reply to a deleted message

[slate swan]

so youre steaming the radio from the radio station?

[pliant gulch]

Copyright plays a part, but also youtubes ToS itself says not to bot their services, E.g use a discord bot to stream

[honest vessel]

i use orginal client

[pliant gulch]

Same would go along for whatever radio you are utilising here

[slate swan]

[pliant gulch]

If it's allowed by their policy/ToS perfectly legal and fine

Otherwise your in greywater

Your not streaming radio audio through a radio

Your streaming audio from the radio from the bot

[honest vessel]

well i think its a grayzone then

cause i understand ytdl not nice for yt

[honest vessel]

so i stream radio from phone plug into a big speaker

basicly

[pliant gulch]

Sure, if the phone has the licensing to permit it

[honest vessel]

i dont host a website n take all their listneers n cost bandwidth

[pliant gulch]

Your radio in your car, has a license from the radio company to play

Otherwise the car company wouldn't sell it together

[honest vessel]

ofc my pohe has rights to play radio

its build't in even

[pliant gulch]

Sure you can plug it into a big speaker and listen to it

The issue though is streaming said audio back into the internet or other unauthorised places defined by the licensing agreement

[honest vessel]

my first idea was to play only nocopyrigthed music for streamers and others on discord

[pliant gulch]

Basically going back to the grey water

[honest vessel]

i think its a gray zone tho

i think they dont care aslong i dont make money or steal bandwith

[pliant gulch]

Yea this is perfectly fine, just download the mp4s from the offical noncopyright music website and stream those

[honest vessel]

i dont think i doing naything bad or wrong tho

[pliant gulch]

Don't donwload it through youtube etc

Just go to the main website they have iirc

[honest vessel]

but i quitted that cause so unclear copyright rules

some call it noncopyright but if u make money its copyright

[pliant gulch]

Are you making money??

[final iron]

Streaming podcasts would be interesting

[honest vessel]

i pay for bot host

[pliant gulch]

Do you have anything in your bot that can make money off of

[honest vessel]

no

[pliant gulch]

Then how does this case apply

[honest vessel]

its a small place like 10 users n sometimes we listen to alls diffrent radios

@pliant gulchi ment youtube songs, some are hosted by lets say nocopyrightsongs, but in small text its not copyright free, if u make money u gotta pay

it can be same channel but diffrent rules

very gray

[pliant gulch]

😕 Noncopyright doesn't have youtube songs they have songs

Youtube is a hosting platform for them

If you, I don't know; take the time to pick out a mp4 and a license from their website

[honest vessel]

omg stop be so specific how i talk

[pliant gulch]

Maybe you'd get somewhere, instead of complaining

[honest vessel]

point is same

u the one complaining 😄

I just told a guy he can make a webradio player like i did

[pliant gulch]

Not sure where I was complaining

Simply explaining the legality of the topic is complaining now I gues???

🤔

[keen talon]

You were just explaining

[final iron]

Is there a default policy that applies if a website doesn't have their policy listed?

[honest vessel]

no its my english

[pliant gulch]

Not sure, but if it works the same ways as licensing; No license means absolutely no use unless otherwise authorised by the owner of said content

[keen talon]

There always will be

Not officially, but yes there are some

[honest vessel]

but yall are right its a grayzznoe but - their commercial aint blocked etc

its not illegal for me to record it n play it at my friends house

or is it?

maybe that is, but if stream its fine

cause nto savedn realtime

[pliant gulch]

Whatever man you take it however you want lol

Seems like you haven't read a single thing I said

[honest vessel]

i atleast gave one inspiration of podcasts

@pliant gulchi did but i just wanna say it prob is a grayzone

i cant answer it

i think its more about if $ in it

steaming netflix on voicechat is prob not good.

but netflix is locked radio is public

oh 5 listeners sue me 5 millions usd

i think its all fine, they can ipblock bot if any

@pliant gulchi get arguments but i think its same both same

if any i give that radio new followers

[pliant gulch]

You do you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

string (str) => ""

How was it called? ^^`

[rancid inlet]

A while back I heard that the developer of discord.py was going to stop developing because discord was changing their API in a few unfriendly ways. Anyone know the latest developments on this? Is discord.py getting abandoned soon? Is the new API going to cause issues?

[slim ibex]

it was discontinued in august 2021. There are other forks out there like !pypi nextcord

!pypi nextcord

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord v2.0.0a6

A Python wrapper for the Discord API forked from discord.py

[slim ibex]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slim ibex]

!pypi pincer

[unkempt canyon]

pincer v0.15.3

Discord API wrapper rebuild from scratch.

[wispy spade]

1. Development on Discord.py has already pretty much stopped, it's unmaintained but still usable and there are also some forks (or entire rewrites) available as listed above.
2. It may cause some issues once some of the more breaking changes (like enforcement on slash commands) go through sometime in April.

[rancid inlet]

Makes sense, thanks @wispy spade @slim ibex

[slate swan]

welp the first yeah discord was just ignoring devs and making promises for the api that never came and danny(the creator) stopped maintaining it since he works in a hospital he didnt have much time

he had many responsibilities which he didnt want to keep on going with

he doesnt want to comeback but so many forks with bad implementation are just calling him to fix all these messes forks have made but he doesnt want to comeback

more info in this gist -> https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/4a2f62751b9600a31a0d3c78100287f1

[fresh orchid]

!pypi pycord

[unkempt canyon]

pycord v0.1.1

Convenient wrapper on top of FFmpeg

[fresh orchid]

Or is it py-cord

[final iron]

Basically froze my computer for 5 minutes

Was doing this [''.join(element) for element in list(permutations(data))] to a list of like 25k indexes

[slate swan]

dang

[final iron]

Lets just say I overlooked that bit

https://random-word-api.herokuapp.com/all

I copied all these in to a file

And started doing that list comp on it

Was not a good idea

[slate swan]

yeah thats allot of elements

[honest vessel]

It is quite a bit

list

[slate swan]

?

[oblique cobalt]

that is called list

[slate swan]

How do I dissolve the list?

[oblique cobalt]

dissolve ? what do you mean

[slate swan]

how is this dpy related🧍‍♂️

[oblique cobalt]

i was gonna say that lmao

[slate swan]

if ctx.author.id in [id1, id2]:

?

like...

[oblique cobalt]

theres nothing wrong ?

[honest vessel]

del discord

[slate swan]

your checking if a int is in a list of ints what about it

[slate swan]

😂

[honest vessel]

wat is it real

[slate swan]

list = [id1, id2]

if ctx.author.id in list:

[oblique cobalt]

yes ?

[slate swan]

dont call it list

[honest vessel]

just thinking now how i unimport a lib?

[slate swan]

list is a class

[slate swan]

As an example mmf

[slate swan]

i couldnt care less

not hard to call it a

[oblique cobalt]

well i mean you can still do [] which that is usually what ur gonna do, so not much of big deal

[slate swan]

or b

[slate swan]

yes but its not a good example

[oblique cobalt]

good point

[velvet tinsel]

evening okimii

[velvet tinsel]

list is a builtin, but using list doesn't affect anything

it shadows it

[oblique cobalt]

yeah but im saying that when u use symbols directly, it gets original one

[slate swan]

evening

[cloud dawn]

True = False

[velvet tinsel]

?

*visible confusion*

[pliant gulch]

Except you can't do this since True is a reserved keyword

!e True = False

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 |   File "<string>", line 1
002 |     True = False
003 |     ^^^^

[velvet tinsel]

you can assign stuff to variables that shadows names of builtins and stuff

How to add reaction to message?

i mean i need emoji names how to add emoji names

[slate swan]

a = await ctx.send("msg")
await a.add_reaction("emoji")

[devout iris]

await message.add_reaction(":thumbsup;")

Will it work?

[slate swan]

message is?

[cloud dawn]

If "message" is a message object then yes.

[devout iris]

Veriable

[slate swan]

that has?

[devout iris]

it is just for example

[slate swan]

ah

[devout iris]

i just am asking will it work? Only emoji name

With ":"

[slate swan]

:angry:

like this?

[devout iris]

Definitely

[slate swan]

yeah

[devout iris]

Alright thx :)

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.add_reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Add a reaction to the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

You must have the [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission to use this. If nobody else has reacted to the message using this emoji, the [`add_reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.add_reactions "discord.Permissions.add_reactions") permission is required.

[velvet tinsel]

fixed

lemme improve on it

wait I cant nvm

idk what

[slate swan]

you can

[velvet tinsel]

panda help okimii help

[slate swan]

just subclass the Bot class🧠

[velvet tinsel]

SUUUU

[oblique cobalt]

no because "bot not defined" 😂

[slate swan]

😉

[velvet tinsel]

SUUUUU

[cloud dawn]

selfbots are only client so no

[oblique cobalt]

what

[slate swan]

oh i didnt even read what he was trying to do😭

[oblique cobalt]

commands.Bot for most part is literally Client but handles message parsing and stuff

[slate swan]

the bot class is the subclass of client

[cloud dawn]

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

[slate swan]

so it will have everything that the client class has and more

[oblique cobalt]

tell that to people who still self bot

cause they do and abuse ppls lives with t sadly :(

[velvet tinsel]

oh yeah

whoopsie daisies

[devout iris]

Can i add reaction to embed with embed.add_reaction() ???

[slate swan]

yes

[oblique cobalt]

no, but u can add to message

[velvet tinsel]

yes!!!!!1!!1

[devout iris]

Wut

Smh

[velvet tinsel]

h?

[oblique cobalt]

you cant add reaction to embed, but u can to message itself

[slate swan]

you get what we mean

[velvet tinsel]

oh, you mean you can't do discord.Embed(...).add_reaction(...)?

[oblique cobalt]

yes but man said embed.add_reaction

[slate swan]

no

[oblique cobalt]

that yes

[velvet tinsel]

what

now you're confusing me

[oblique cobalt]

what

[slate swan]

its a coro

[velvet tinsel]

make your mind(s) up

[devout iris]

Everyone confusing me ROFL

[graceful halo]

HI I just want ot know where I would go to learn pythonI don't know anything as of know and am trying to decipher old code

[velvet tinsel]

the man who answered that question is stupid though

he forgot to put len()

[slate swan]

lollllll

[velvet tinsel]

done

[oblique cobalt]

here
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/search.html?q=embed.add_reaction

[velvet tinsel]

I told him

[velvet tinsel]

the docs 🙏 you are saviour

[slate swan]

theres nothing lol

[oblique cobalt]

nothing like that exists and besides, embed is in message, so adding reaction to embed basically means you want to add reaction to message

[slate swan]

embed is a instance of a msg

[oblique cobalt]

thats what i was saying

[graceful halo]

can someone help me please

[oblique cobalt]

dont ask to ask, just ask

So this might be a bit of a abstract explanation but I think if I start adding in lots of my code it will cause more confusion.

I have a lists (key_words) and 'thing'. I want to know if anything from my list appears in the 'thing' so I'm doing if key_words in message.embeds[0].title: (the latter being the 'thing'. Is there a way to know which item of the list triggers the code to execute the code within the if statement? Or would I need to break it down and check each item of the list individually?

[velvet tinsel]

can you show us the full code?

[devout iris]

should i return this or add an "if" ? (i have 4 emojis so idk)

[potent spear]

can you simplify your code? 90% of the stuff is pretty much unrelated to your question

[devout iris]

Can i change presence with command?!?!?

[potent spear]

ofc

[potent spear]

change_presence
is the method you're looking for in the docs

yup, now check the arguments of that method in the docs and voila

[oblique cobalt]

you cant await in non async function

[potent spear]

also true, the indentation is just wrong

[devout iris]

i know arguments for it

[devout iris]

i'm using 2 spaces.

[oblique cobalt]

that is completely fine

[devout iris]

Hmm

[velvet tinsel]

!d commands.Bot.change_presence || I'm bad at these commands

[unkempt canyon]

Certainly not.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[velvet tinsel]

well

[potent spear]

let me guess, you have a wait_for, and depending on the user 's reaction, you want to change the presence of a bot?

[oblique cobalt]

outside of that check is async function right ?

[velvet tinsel]

you did miss an activity kwarg

[potent spear]

do it AFTER the wait_for, not in the check

[velvet tinsel]

what are you trying to do?

[oblique cobalt]

you can either do loop.create_task or set some variable then change it to outside check

[devout iris]

A sec

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message
90% sure

[velvet tinsel]

he didn't use a wait_for?

[oblique cobalt]

change_presence is coro

[potent spear]

and there you have it ^^ xd

[oblique cobalt]

change presence is coro btw

[velvet tinsel]

don't you need a activity kwarg to change presence?

[oblique cobalt]

just do one of those ^

[oblique cobalt]

probably

[devout iris]

Hmmm

[flat solstice]

is this better?```py
key_words = ["WARN", "MUTE", "UNMUTE", "KICK", "BAN", "UNBAN"] # Add in Captilised versions of each word to account for the Dyno logs
checked_logs = []
case_count = 0
last_checked = 0
moderation = self.bot.get_channel(id = 885569667861717042)
clifford_log = self.bot.get_channel(id = 500768218257031168)

with moderation.channel.typing():
messages = await clifford_log.channel.history(oldest_first = True, limit = None, after = last_checked).flatten() # 10000
for message in messages[0:]: # Making bot search history chronologically
if all([
message.id not in checked_logs,
message.author.id == 776782769312628746,
len(message.embeds) > 0,
key_words in message.embeds[0].title,
]):
# Make a embed
checked_logs.append(message.id)

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

[velvet tinsel]

man needs to be introduced to stack overflow smh https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59126137/how-to-change-discord-py-bot-activity

[devout iris]

(idk what is coro lol)

[oblique cobalt]

basically thing that needs await to be ran

[devout iris]

Ah okay

[potent spear]

some questionable things like
why are you flattening the list while you're looping through it right after
you can just use the async iterator...

[devout iris]

But if i add await it is being red :/

[velvet tinsel]

what does it say?

[oblique cobalt]

cause ur doing that in non async function and check this out #discord-bots message

[velvet tinsel]

why....why?

[potent spear]

don't make him do that
he just has to do the shit he wants AFTER the wait_for

[oblique cobalt]

i was giving him 2 choices on what to do for this

[devout iris]

Actually it may be

i'll try

[devout iris]

Ah

Smh , that's right :/

[oblique cobalt]

ah

[velvet tinsel]

I mean wait_for is something you'll probably need to know?

it's possibly inevitable not to use it when developing a discord bot

[oblique cobalt]

@devout iris yeah just return called change_presence and you can await it eventually, or better return the status to what to change, then change_presence outside check and set that

[velvet tinsel]

unless of course...you made one, it doesn't work, you give up.

[velvet tinsel]

I mean the activity kwarg and the wait_for()?

[oblique cobalt]

doesnt wait_for return what check returns as far as i remember ?

[oblique cobalt]

and ye about activity

[flat solstice]

why what? why am I doing it that way or why do I want to know what causes the if statement to trigger or something else

[velvet tinsel]

PEP8 for crying out loud

[velvet tinsel]

and

[slate swan]

!e print(len("messages = await clifford_log.channel.history(oldest_first = True, limit = None, after = last_checked).flatten()"))

[unkempt canyon]

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

112

[slate swan]

yep it breaks pep8

[flat solstice]

because I hadn't thought of doing it that way, I would like to tackle my initial questions before tackling the points you've juts made, or would not doing it the way you've suggested hinder my ability to tackle my initial question?

[slate swan]

the limit of char are 72 iirc

[velvet tinsel]

clifford the big red dog

I remember reading it when I was like 3 or 4

I think he died in the end

[slate swan]

bro wut

its a kids show

[velvet tinsel]

ik

thats why I said I watched it when I was 3 or 4

[slate swan]

why would he die

[velvet tinsel]

idk

[slate swan]

😭

[velvet tinsel]

I think he got deported actually

my memories are messed up

[slate swan]

now?

i think that's okay

[velvet tinsel]

😭

[devout iris]

wtf is the problem

[velvet tinsel]

the PEP8

[devout iris]

what is the PEP8

[velvet tinsel]

also did you define activity somewhere?

[devout iris]

sure

[velvet tinsel]

!pep8

[unkempt canyon]

PEP 8 is the official style guide for Python. It includes comprehensive guidelines for code formatting, variable naming, and making your code easy to read. Professional Python developers are usually required to follow the guidelines, and will often use code-linters like flake8 to verify that the code they're writing complies with the style guide.

More information:
• PEP 8 document
• Our PEP 8 song! :notes:

[velvet tinsel]

where

[devout iris]

here

[potent spear]

yeah, there's a simple fix for that
[ele for ele in list_of_shit if ele in your_title]
=> this will return a list of all the ele's that are in your title ( in your case, you probably always expect just one

[velvet tinsel]

can't you just do activity in the change_presence?

[slate swan]

hey, im using discord.py to interact with my bot, tho i just need to send a message and dont need the whole waiting until an event happens. is it possible to somehow only send a message and not wait? ive tried searching for this but couldnt find anything

[devout iris]

i'm gonna use activity for 4 times

[velvet tinsel]

ok

[cedar stream]

Wdym

[devout iris]

for every status

[velvet tinsel]

ENSLO!!11!1!!!

[cedar stream]

Hi

[velvet tinsel]

it's just extra lines of code but ok

[cedar stream]

Hyd

[velvet tinsel]

tired

[cedar stream]

Same

[devout iris]

what is ur sugg?

[velvet tinsel]

just change it with the presence

[devout iris]

i didn't understand :/

[velvet tinsel]

uh

just await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="i dont know"))

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

[slate swan]

use the kwarg

[velvet tinsel]

@slate swan ....

what are you on about

[devout iris]

status?

[slate swan]

your trying to change the status right?

[velvet tinsel]

idfk keep the status

[slate swan]

right now client.run(token) keeps running until it receives an event like on_message, but i have a twitter listener that when a tweet gets placed it needs to post the tweet, so i dont need discord.py to wait for an event to happen, but just to send a message

[velvet tinsel]

I was just demonstrating activity

[devout iris]

my goal is change status with command lmao

like ;
!online
!idle etc.

[slate swan]

then use what has been given to you but

[velvet tinsel]

but what

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

[slate swan]

use that

[velvet tinsel]

my guy

[slate swan]

[flat solstice]

ngl your repetitive use of ele is kinda throwing me but if i'm understanding right you mean py thing for word in key_words if key_words in message.embeds[0].title if I base it off my variables?

[cedar stream]

Just do a direct api call ig

[slate swan]

damn was trying to avoid coding all that myself

[cedar stream]

It’ s just one request

[potent spear]

check out "list comprehension"
you'll love it
it's actually
[<what you're keeping> for element in <your list> if <your statement>]
so the <what you're keeping> could be for example an attribute of the element, or the whole element
like
[member.name for member in guild.members]
or let's say I want all the bots in a guild
[member for member in guild.members if member.bot]

[slate swan]

not really hard

[cedar stream]

Like if you are only sending a message It’ s probably easier that way

Depends on use case

[slate swan]

ill need more stuff from discord api, but will check it out if theres no other way

[flat solstice]

I've uhh.. never read PEP8, the majority of my python knowledge is self taught and from online courses so ik I've heard of PEP8 and I've likely got parts of it down but I've never read it, guess I'll add it to the top of my to read list

[slate swan]

you should

[flat solstice]

yeah I googled it already 👍

[slate swan]

nice

[flat solstice]

[action for word in key_words if key_words in message.embeds[0].title]```don't think I'm quite grasping it yet but it does seem incredible useful 😄.  I want to keep `action` as that's what I'm putting in my embed

[slate swan]

Or webhook

[potent spear]

nah, you probably just want to keep the word
your if statement is also bad
it's
if word in message.embeds[0].title

[final iron]

Loop a task

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, loop=...)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[final iron]

Create a task to do whatever you're doing with the twitter api

[slate swan]

i have a listener for twitter and when a tweet has been made by a certain person i want it to get all guilds its, loop over it and post the tweet in those

i think i wouldnt be able to get it working with a task

[final iron]

You might be able to use a webhook

Barely ever used them though

[final iron]

Why?

[slate swan]

im not sure how it could work since id still need to have some listener running for the tasks right?

[final iron]

No. You can start it when your bot launches

There are some examples

Check them out

[flat solstice]

am I getting closer?py [action for word in key_words if word in message.embeds[0].title]and I'm keeping action partly because that's what I've already called it in the embed and partly because giving each part it's own name helps me identify what each part is doing

[slate swan]

thanks, gonna check it out

[potent spear]

you're not keeping the action, keep the word that it matches, that was your first plan

[cedar stream]

They dont need to listen for events

[final iron]

Using a task would be much simpler

I understand why you recommended a direct api call

But for most people it would be complicated and take a fair bit of time

[cedar stream]

You just do a post request with authorization header

Idk how task would work in that case

I think they want to send message when something on twitter happens

[final iron]

Assuming its for only 1 channel they could just fetch it

[cedar stream]

Wouldnt be real time

[flat solstice]

so a little more like this if I want action to be part of my embed?py action = [word for word in key_words if word in message.embeds[0].title]

[final iron]

Does it really need to be real time?

[potent spear]

now we're talking
this returns a list, mind you!
so first check if the list is not empty, then just get the first element out of it I'd say

[cedar stream]

Well, you can just make an api call where the twitter event gets triggered instead of checking every couple of seconds to see if something has changed

[flat solstice]

action = [word for word in key_words if word in message.embeds[0].title]
       if len(action) > 0:
          embed = discord.Embed(title = f"Case {case_count} | {action[0]}")```any glaring mistakes in this?

[cloud dawn]

What's up with the indention?

if action := [word for word in key_words if word in message.embeds[0].title]:
    embed = discord.Embed(title = f"Case {case_count} | {action[0]}")
``` why not this?

[potent spear]

apart from the confusing variable name, I'd say no

[flat solstice]

cause I wasn't aware that could be done

[slate swan]

can i not use % in a str?

nvm i can it just glows blue like if it were a built in

[final iron]

Don't always trust your ide

[slate swan]

lesson learned😳

[final iron]

Pycharm gives me strong warnings for using bot attributes

[slate swan]

dang

[slate swan]

LOL

[final iron]

It took me so long to figure out how to use them because pycharm was saying it was wrong

[slate swan]

dang

lol

[final iron]

return sorted([package for package in [package_tuple[0] for package_tuple in packages]][:25])

Rate the readability

[gilded ledge]

Hi everyone does anyone know if I can program my discord bot with Microsoft Visual Studios

[flat solstice]

you referring to action when you mean confusing variable name, if so it's because this for a supplementary moderation logging system and i'm using action as a umbrella term to cover different moderation actions. hope this makes my reasoning for calling it action more understandable

[gilded ledge]

I am new to it

[slate swan]

yes

you can

[gilded ledge]

thanks

[slate swan]

yw

[final iron]

I don't see why not

[slate swan]

its a ide so me either

[gilded ledge]

I am just new to the interface I will need help setting that up tomorrow it is so late where I am

[slate swan]

pretty easy no need to even need help imo

[final iron]

vsc is very beginner friendly

[gilded ledge]

really??

[slate swan]

yes

[final iron]

That's the appeal of it

[slate swan]

and wont eat 1gb of ram like pycharm

[gilded ledge]

yeah i guess so

[final iron]

I would still suggest you learn about venvs though

Dependencies clashing can be a pain in the ass even for beginners

[slate swan]

still dont know about envs🏃

[final iron]

I just use conda

Its dead simple

[slate swan]

i use a py file

[final iron]

Open up terminal, type in conda create <venv name> python=<your python version>

At least I think thats how you do it

Haven't done it in a while

[potent spear]

here's your one-line you've been looking for

possible_words_in_title = ['MUTE', 'WARN', 'STINK']
stinky_embed_title = 'blablaWARNblabla'

result = next(iter(set(possible_words_in_title) & set(stinky_embed_title)), None)

print(result)
# result will be None if no matches found, else the first match is the value

[final iron]

anagram command is actually a pain in the ass

I've been working on it for like an hour

[sage otter]

Anaconda no good. It’s a hostile environment for asyncio since it with how the loop works. It’s really only supposed to be used with data science stuff.

if you want a venv go with python-venv Go to project working directory and initialize one and activate it and you're good. 👌

[final iron]

It works for me just fine so I'll keep it but I wont recommend it to people anymore

[slate swan]

I want to create Ultron in py

is that possible?

[final iron]

What is Ultron

[slate swan]

A robot in the Marvel Comics

A superior AI made by Hank Pym

[final iron]

In what sense would you want to create it

You want to create an ai?

[slate swan]

Yes

[final iron]

Thats quite an advanced project

Especially if you want a quite advanced ai

[slate swan]

Ok. Fair enough

[half tusk]

Hello could somebody help me out ? I have a problem with a reaction role code

[final iron]

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

[half tusk]

ok

First of all the bot doesnt react with the emoji on the message, second when a member reacts it pops up on console that Role not found.

@bot.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    message_id = payload.message_id
    if message_id == 933128328360099871:
        guild_id = payload.guild_id
        guild = discord.utils.find(lambda g : g.id == guild_id, bot.guilds)

        if payload.emoji.name == '![verify](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/933126735959044136.webp?size=128 "verify")':
            role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id= 931644345113796668) 
        else:
            role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name=payload.emoji.name)
        
        if role is not None:
            member = discord.utils.find(lambda m : m.id == payload.user_id, guild.members)
            if member is not None:
                await member.add_roles(role)
                print("done")
            else:
                print ("Member not found.")
        else:
            print("Role not found.")

[magic ore]

bot.get_guild is more efficient than utils.find here

Guild.get_role is also more efficient than the utils.get with the role id

[half tusk]

so i should change it?

[potent spear]

no, leave it as is 🐒

[half tusk]

so you dont have clue either?

damn bro i see

[potent spear]

ofc I do

[half tusk]

help me out then

[potent spear]

then implement what stocker said

only use discord utils for name and other attributes

use get_x for the id

[magic ore]

^ this also applies for how you get the member who reacted

And also show the full traceback that gets printed

[half tusk]

guys just tell me how to fix the code above i dont wanna use other ways

[potent spear]

if you want to know which line is bad
it's the first else statement

[half tusk]

idk why it doesnt work, this code used to work before

[potent spear]

just check every expression, it isn't too hard to check which line is wrong

[half tusk]

i fixed it

it wasnt the first else statement but thanks for help 🐒

btw stress reduced thanks again bro

[full valley]

How can I restart my discordbot with a command?

[meager osprey]

i wanna make bots but idk how to code, can someone help me/ teach me.

[maiden fable]

Bruh

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.logout

There u go @full valley

[full valley]

thanks, but will that just lose the connection to discord, or actually restart the bot as well

[potent spear]

everyone can

[potent spear]

let me guess, you edited code and want to use a command instead of manually restarting every time?

ssst

[full valley]

no

[potent spear]

then why would you?

sometimes, logic is involved yk

[full valley]

For emergency’s if the bot has a meltdown whilst i’m not online

[potent spear]

well, you can just close it, instead of shutting it down

because if you restart it, you might have the same result

[full valley]

I mean it’s not going to break that badly, if it’s still not working after a restart than there’s something wrong with my code

So a restarts fine

[potent spear]

nah, if your code "breaks down" there's generally something wrong
A restart will just one way or the other result in a "meltdown" again

best thing to do is maybe have a global error handler and just DM you all the UNHANDLED errors
(because you obviously don't want to get a DM whenever someone uses a command the wrong way by for example not passing an arg)

[full valley]

mhm my error handling is mostly ok, just been a couple times there’s been no errors, but not functioned as I intended

Usually I just look at the out log/error log

[potent spear]

a "remote" shutdown would be your best option tbh

[full valley]

my staff can block certain parts of the bot though so a restart and blocking that area until I get online should be fine

[potent spear]

yeah, you mean unload the cogs probably, that seems good

[full valley]

yeah

[slate swan]

yeah you can restart cogs

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

reload_extension(name, *, package=None)```
Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension") followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension") except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[full valley]

I mean I don’t wanna reload them necessarily

[slate swan]

maybe with os module you can

[full valley]

So how can I essentially just stop the py file, and start it again

[slate swan]

https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/python/How+to+restart+the+file+using+code+in+python

makes sense

[full valley]

Yeah only problem is i’m using a vps

[slate swan]

welp🚶

[full valley]

[slate swan]

not sure how you can tbh

[meager osprey]

im tired of reading

[slate swan]

you want your bot to reconnect to the gateway right?

[meager osprey]

its kinda useless

[slate swan]

not really

[full valley]

Well I want the bot to fully shutdown, then start back up

[slate swan]

its useless if you dont read it

[meager osprey]

maybe idk what im reding

reading

[slate swan]

well yes what i just said?

[slate swan]

do you know python?

[full valley]

Right

[meager osprey]

no

[slate swan]

read this

[meager osprey]

🤣

k

[slate swan]

well im not sure if you can

[meager osprey]

@slate swan theres like 10 choices to select

[slate swan]

read the choices 🧠

just pick the one that you might like ig

[meager osprey]

all 😱

[slate swan]

then get to reading

[potent spear]

still interested?

[full valley]

indeed I am

[potent spear]

Have you ever wanted to restart your whole bot just from a command or if some command in your bot is stuck , you would able to restart the bot without physical switching it on and off?

import sys
import os
def restart_program():
    python = sys.executable
    os.execl(python, python, * sys.argv)

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def restart(ctx):
    
    await ctx.message.delete()
    message = await ctx.send("Restarting... Allow up to 20 seconds")
    
    restart_program()

This a piece of code will restart your program.

How it exactly works?
what it does:
Fetches the python executable (path got from sys).
After fetching the python executable, it gets directory where the main source file ( your bot's main file) and re-runs the file.
As a result, your bot shuts down and the starts again.

[wicked atlas]

I mean, you could also just use extensions

[potent spear]

he has thought of that ofc, I tried to convince him, but yeah

[fervent shard]

the warn command doesnt work, and nothing shows up in the console. https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sesafowuxe.py

[potent spear]

wanna know what's wrong?

[fervent shard]

yes

[potent spear]

you've made an error handler for this specific function, but you're skipping ALL the other errors
make sure you have an else statement in that error handler which prints out other unhandled errors
the error will present itself

[full valley]

the Danny bot however on discord.py says this:

Do use:
* run your bot in a process manager such as:
  - systemd
  - openrc (gentoo, devuan)
  - runit (void linux)
  - supervisord
  - upstart (old ubuntu)
  - docker
* manually reboot it 

Do not use:
  - a bash loop (it can eat your C-c by rapidly spawning python and if your bot fails it won't stop it from constantly failing)
  - subprocess.call (you will eat your memory up by not letting your old processes die)
  - os.exec*

do not use os.exec?

[potent spear]

well, I've basically copy pasted the
?tag better than better restart
as I said earlier, putting a certain cog of your bot in "quarantaine" is better than just restarting it and hoping for the best

[full valley]

yeah alright thanks

[fervent shard]

oh, how do i fix it?

[potent spear]

hold up

you have shadowing function names lol

you have literally 3 clear_error functions

it's not because they have different decorators that they won't shadow each other

[fervent shard]

what abt this?

def save_warn(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    with open('warns.json', 'r') as f:
         warns = json.load(f)
 
         warns[str(member.id)] += 1
 
    with open('warns.json', 'w') as f:
         json.dump(warns, f)
 
def remove_warn(ctx, member: discord.Member, amount: int):
    with open('warns.json', 'r') as f:
         warns = json.load(f)
 
         warns[str(member.id)] -= amount
 
    with open('warns.json', 'w') as f:
         json.dump(warns, f)
 
def warns_check(member: discord.Member):
    with open('warns.json', 'r') as f:
         warns = json.load(f)
 
         return warns[str(member.id)]```

[potent spear]

doesn't matter that much for now

json isn't meant to be a db anyways

[fervent shard]

oh

[potent spear]

your problem are just your error handlers

look more into how you make decent ones, because you're basically hiding all your other errors by only printing out 1 'sort'

[fervent shard]

can i still have them?

[potent spear]

I'd suggest you to just look into global error handling tbh

[fervent shard]

a

[potent spear]

since all your error handlers just do the same

you obv don't want to make an error handler for every command

that's ONLY needed if they're specific, which they are not in your case

the only thing that's different about them is the command name in the text, which you can easily code via ctx.command.name

[fervent shard]

well for the moderation ones, yes

[potent spear]

put all your error handlers in codeblocks for now... they're pretty useless
then try the warn command again, and the error will present itself

[potent spear]

these functions need to be replaced with a db too asap
but if you want to keep that bad method per se, at least change the parameters
you don't need whole member objects as arguments, you just need the ID every time...
you're also opening a json file for reading, then closing it, and opening it again for writing
just open it once with read AND write access

[slate swan]

    if message.content.startswith("$fire"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Fire"])
        print(message.author, message.content)
    if message.content.startswith("$police"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Police"])
        print(message.author, message.content)
    if message.content.startswith("$ambulance"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Ambulance"])
        print(message.author, message.content)
    if message.content.startswith("$civilian"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Civilian"])
        print(message.author, message.content)
    if message.content.startswith("$trailers"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Trailers"])
        print(message.author, message.content)
    if message.content.startswith("$jeeps"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Jeeps"])
    if message.content.startswith("$buses"):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Buses"])

Is there a more elegant way of doing this?

[potent spear]

yes, by using commands

[final iron]

Use the commands extension

[slate swan]

commands?

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.command

@discord.ext.commands.command(name=..., cls=..., **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or if called with [`group()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.group "discord.ext.commands.group"), [`Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Group "discord.ext.commands.Group").

By default the `help` attribute is received automatically from the docstring of the function and is cleaned up with the use of `inspect.cleandoc`. If the docstring is `bytes`, then it is decoded into [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") using utf-8 encoding.

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

[slate swan]

ahh

God bless.

Try reading through this: https://vcokltfre.dev/

[slate swan]

hmm is that website down? cant see to connect to it

[final iron]

Works fine for me

[slate swan]

oh now it works

[potent spear]

it was still stealing your cookies and tracking your IP, give it some time

perfect, thats just the tutorial i needed, thanks guys! @final iron @potent spear ❤️

shit

[final iron]

How is this looking?

[potent spear]

I'd add emojis to make it appealing

also, the unix format isn't useful for regular users

[pliant gulch]

Unix format seems a bit weird to me

I, and most others call it epoch time

[final iron]

I'll change it then

[pliant gulch]

Just a nitpick

[final iron]

I think unix format looks better

[pliant gulch]

It is also normal to call it unix time though

[pliant gulch]

[final iron]

Thats why I put the human readable time first

You mentioned some emojis, which should I add?

[potent spear]

a 🟢 ⏲️ one of those for uptime

[final iron]

How do you do emojis again?

[potent spear]

haven't used them in a while, can't say

probably something like :emoji_name:

also, I'd just make a info command, nobody cares just about uptime

info should contain stuff like ping uptime, ram, usage, ...

[pliant gulch]

\:emojiname:?

If that was what you were asking for

[final iron]

How would I get system resources?

I was looking at psutil but its blocking

[tiny ibex]

Heya so I wanna make button roles but everytime the bot starts the old buttons get useless and throw Interaction failed error how can I avoid this

[visual dagger]

will pay someone to make me like a 15 line discord script

[final iron]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[visual dagger]

L

[final iron]

I mentioned that above

[pliant gulch]

uhhh

[final iron]

Its blocking

[pliant gulch]

oh

Just run it in executor then

[final iron]

hmm?

[pliant gulch]

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

[final iron]

Looks complicated

[pliant gulch]

It's easy

[final iron]

Which one would I want to use
