yes both in the same folder

Used in event as a check for commands to work properly
vale wing
Afaik first the message goes to on_message event, then if you use process_commands on its context, its content will be checked if it is a command
And the corresponding function will be executed if there's such
kindred epoch
you can just use .listen() instead of .event
kindred epoch
on_message
vale wing
!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen
unkempt canyonBOT
vale wing
There's a different decorator for using them in cogs
kindred epoch
you can use that anywhere, but for cogs its different
vale wing
!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.listener
unkempt canyonBOT
vale wing
Yeah depends on your case
If it's not in cog, use listen, if it is, then commands.Cog.listener
Technically, you can put it to anywhere, but usually main.py only contains bot class and its runner
kindred epoch
ok. main.py is different than a cog file. In cogs you use commands.Bot.listener() and in main.py you can either use bot.event or bot.listen(), the reason i said bot.listen() is better than bot.event because you dont have to do the extra work and is more convenient
pliant gulch
bot.listen doesn't override the previous event callback
You only use commands.Cog.listener in a cog class because you don't have access to bot before the Cog is constructed
It's simply a marker, you'd use bot.listen where you have access to bot, you'd use commands.Cog.listener as a marker for places where you cannot
timid wagon
bot.event overrides the library's event itself, while bot.listen stacks over it. Simple as that.
commands.Cog.listener is just a version of bot.listen
pliant gulch
Straight forward as I can get, It doesn't override previous implementations
The previous implementation
If you use bot.event all previous implementations get wiped and it uses the new one you provided
For an example, with the commands extension. on_message has a default implementation
They hook onto on_message and process any commands with the parser, etc
If you use bot.event it overrides that with your new implemenation
timid wagon
I was just writing that out 
I'll send it anyway
For example: when you use bot.event for on_message, it overwrites the lib's ability to process commands. Therefore you have to include await bot.process_commands at the end of it.
When you use bot.listen, is just stacks on the lib's event - it just adds onto it, doesn't overwrite it
pliant gulch
Yes.
timid wagon
In laymen terms, yes
pliant gulch
event clears ALL, Listeners keep default and keep any previous implementations you've made
It's literally just any new callback you set
No example is needed, just think about listener == no override
slate swan
you just change the decorator from event to listen()
or Cog.listener() if in a Cog class
timid wagon
https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/v2.3.0/disnake/ext/commands/bot_base.py#L600-L601 - this is the default on_message event built into the library. When you create a bot.event, this will be overwritten
unkempt canyonBOT
disnake/ext/commands/bot_base.py lines 600 to 601
async def on_message(self, message):
await self.process_commands(message)```When you use bot.listen, it'll not remove this, just stack on top of it
slate swan
event overrides the defaults, listen doesnt
timid wagon
^ can't make it simpler than that
slate swan
And your root folder is that
sick birch
Prefer listeners over events, you can have multiple different listeners listening for the same event, but you can't do the same with events. Also too many people use on_message event for some reason (youtube tutorial maybe?) then none of their commands work.
that's happened too many times to count
You don't need on_message
honest vessel
commands.comand is not an event
sick birch
^ it's how you make commands within a cog
honest vessel
so weird comparsion
sick birch
I think i get what he's saying
If you have command handlers there shouldn't be a need for on_message, is that what you're saying?
Don't get me wrong, on_message event does have some neat benifits
honest vessel
debug
sick birch
For example, if you wanted to ignore all messages from bots:
@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
if message.author.bot:
return
bot.process_commands(message)
You could do the same with checks but I prefer this
Also if you wanted to have a feature where you have blacklisted users in a database
tender estuary
We could check if a message came from those users using on_message?
quick gust
Also if you wanted to have a feature where you have blacklisted users in a datab...
I just use a check for that

@sick birchor if you want to have your costume messages for when boosting server etc, message.type
sick birch
@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
blacklisted_users = # get users from database
if message.author.id in blacklisted_users:
return
bot.process_commands(message)
yep that too
No since that would still pass the message onto the command handler
Nope
tender estuary
commands would not work
honest vessel
but it tells you in doc, if i remember correct that they recommend use listeners
sick birch
```py
@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
blacklisted_u...
Yes, if blacklisted_users is a list of IDs who cannot use the bot, then any of those users will not be able to use the bot (bot will not respond at all)
Yep
It sort of acts like a gateway, that says what gets through to the command handlers and what gets dropped
Much harder yes
Well, on_interaction perhaps
honest vessel
but you can make a costume decoration check tho?
quick gust
global checks don't work on slash commands do they?
sick birch
Not for discord.py

is mysql a good database to use with discord.py?
sick birch
Any database is good
dire folio
also how would i round the time so it isn't so exact
sick birch
Personally the way I like to deal with databases is have a seperate API server, written in Express.js, which uses Prisma or TypeORM to interact with the database. Then in discord.py, you would use aiohttp to interact with the database.
honest vessel
is mysql a good database to use with discord.py?
i could recommend aiosqlite if you dont need remote database
sick birch
But of course to do that you'd need to know a bit of javascript
I think that heeds to the separation of concerns philosophy
dire folio
i use sqlite3
honest vessel
also how would i round the time so it isn't so exact
what u mean? round(unixtime?)
quick gust
also how would i round the time so it isn't so exact
round()
honest vessel
i use sqlite3
consider use aiosqlite instead
sick birch
also how would i round the time so it isn't so exact
you can also just int() it
honest vessel
you can also do str(time).split(".")[0] kek
sick birch
I think int() is more accurate. Say the UNIX timestamp says 2.518528, if you use round(), it would be 3, except you're still in the 2nd second, not the 3rd. int() would just return 2, which is accurate since you're in the 2nd second and not the 3rd
if that makes sense
Either way you'd be off by only a second but if you really need that accuracy use int() rather than round()
honest vessel
@sick birchthats true, round is round
dire folio
the accuracy doesn't matter too much
sick birch
You can also do math.floor(2.5827) which is the same thing as int()
honest vessel
i think most uses round atleast what iv seen
honest vessel
if moneyprice round would be more accurate than int ๐
quick gust
I think `int()` is more accurate. Say the UNIX timestamp says 2.518528, if you u...
isnt int() also slightly inaccurate then?
sick birch
Well it indicates the time better, since it doesn't round up
honest vessel
cant you tell round to round down tho?
ebon fox
Hey any hosting recommendations for free (or cheap ones) that are reliable
sick birch
if moneyprice round would be more accurate than int ๐
Ah ha, this is why they round down instead of up in banks. If you earn, say 2.555 cents from interest, they will give you 2.55 rather than 2.56 to save that half a cent
sick birch
Hey any hosting recommendations for free (or cheap ones) that are reliable
AWS has a free tier
ebon fox
AWS has a free tier
thanks appreciated ๐
honest vessel
Ah ha, this is why they round down instead of up in banks. If you earn, say 2.55...
haha getting scammed
sick birch
You can chain except statements:
try:
# something
except error1:
# print error1
except error2:
# print error2
except error3:
# print error3
Not really, if they rounded normally the banks would be losing money
You can do one of 2 things:
i) remove all try/excepts and stress test your code, and see all the possible errors that could happen
ii) go searching around documents for all functions that you use and see what errors they can throw
maiden fable
Tbh I would love to see someone make an economics bot yk
honest vessel
You can chain except statements:
```py
try:
# something
except error1:
# pri...
you can even put an else: in try
sick birch
For example, say you had await ctx.send(...) in your try block, according to the documentation, it can raise 1 of 3 errors:
i) HTTPException
ii) Forbidden
iii) InvalidArgument
You can chain 3 except statements for each of these, and do something according to those errors
fallen mica
Is there a timeout command for discord.py?
sick birch
Is there a timeout command for discord.py?
You'd have to use a fork or implement it yourself

do u mean command snot working?

i mean if it suddenly dump 10 messages on it, instead of doing it all in parallel, it would queue the 10 messages, processing 1,2,3,4,5 ... 10 in sequence one by one, and then it would dump the 10 responses (5 messages/5seconds) to the user

I rewrote my code but it still does not run in parallel. It waits for every received message to be done before dumping them all at once to the users.
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
bot = Bot("!something")
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == bot.user:
return
else:
query = message.content
response = f(query)
await message.channel.send(response)
await bot.process_commands(message)
how to make it run in parallel? and to send the response the moment it is done instead of waiting for all the others to be done?
like how to make every message immediately start processing, and then respond as quickly as it is done, never waiting

i mean when i make it f string

show code

i mean this ```py

async def roll(self, ctx: commands.Context, dice: str):
f"""Rolls a given amount of dice in the form \d\
Example:
```
{ctx.prefix}roll 2d20

i want this to be current prefix but when i add f string its no longer seen as desc
top is with f string
manic wing
i see - docstrings cant really have f strings considering the variables havent been declared - instead you can use {} and .format
slate swan
inside of a string?
manic wing
!e py string = "hello {}" print(string.format("Fred"))

did that and doesnt work

oh okay

you can keep the {ctx.prefix} syntax
it works with format too

what?

i didn't understand it, because when you invite the bot, it uses the application ID, but the application can have multiple bots. and each bot has its own token. does this mean that actually you can invite a whole bunch of bots in one go? so its like a giant bundle of bots?
but none of the bots seem to use that

Either need a fork or implement it yourself within discord.py
on_interaction does pick up those so it's worth keeping in mind

Pick one of the existing ones
Or go with a different library

Because discord expects a character at least for both title and description if you GIVE it. You can just omit these kwargs if you do not want either
Otherwise use a zero width character, E.g \u200b
Or ** ***

just use a command and use aliases
cold sonnet
don't convert message into an str
slate swan
oh
final iron
just use a command and use aliases
I gave them what they wanted
cold sonnet
process_commands doesn't take a string
final iron
ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
slate swan
so what do i do???
slate swan
I gave them what they wanted
atleast make it a listener๐ญ
cold sonnet
process_commands takes just the whole message object
slate swan
process_commands takes just the whole message object
i see, well im using guild custom prefixes
and when i define client
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "e", intents = intents, case_insensitive = True)
i can't do get_prefix because it requires a guild id
slate swan
im not sure how i'm supposed to define it
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = get_prefix, intents = intents, case_insensitive = True)
like that?
fervent shoal
why is this happening, never happened before
cold sonnet
yeah, and get_prefix is a function returning the correct prefix for that specified guild_id
slate swan
yeah, and get_prefix is a function returning the correct prefix for that specifi...
yes
slate swan
I gave them exactly what they wanted
fine๐
cold sonnet
def get_prefix(ctx):
if ctx.guild.id == 6874894524:
return "!"
I think it's like that, I'm not sure how get_prefix gets the context
cold sonnet
well
fervent shoal
why is it doing this when i run it without debugging
cold sonnet
it doesn't work like that?
fervent shoal
oh shi
slate swan
it doesn't work like that?
wdym
cold sonnet
yeah you don't use that because...?
final iron
Can someone explain something to me? If you do:
bot = commands.Bot(prefix=get_prefix)
get_prefix has access to bot and discord.Message
But you're not calling the function get_prefix
slate swan
yeah you don't use that because...?
so you just want me to do
async def get_prefix(ctx)
final iron
So how does it even get called?
cold sonnet
async def get_prefix(ctx)
Imma look at some docs
def get_prefix(client, message): ##first we define get_prefix
so client replaced with bot
slate swan
okay
cold sonnet
and the guild's id you get by message.guild.id
cold sonnet
no, you don't call it yourself
slate swan
alright
cold sonnet
you just pass it to your bot's prefix kwarg
cold sonnet
well how you change and store your prefixes is your own choice
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64513680/discord-py-prefix-command
I was just reading this
this tells you to use json, but just use a database
slate swan
alright thanks
slate swan
well how you change and store your prefixes is your own choice
it can be async right
slate swan
thanks

so the string was wrong
and my monke brain is not working
cold sonnet
But you're not calling the function `get_prefix`
the source code itself calls the function, because it's just an overwritten function
if you'd name it something else, it wouldn't even work

so if i understand this correctly, the in message.content is messed yup
fervent shoal
understandable
cold sonnet
you can't just
if every chips in can of pringles
cold sonnet
go through the list and check every string in it
cold sonnet
cuz thats what a tuple is?
basically, but no, but almost
fervent shoal
lfg=("lf1m", "lf2m", "lf3m", "lf4m", "lf5m", "lf1", "lf2", "lf3", "lf4", "lf5", "lfg", "lf")
this one?

yeah, go through it with a for loop

but it keeps on spamming it
just check if the author is the bot
fervent shoal
yea
fervent shoal
just check if the author is the bot
the bot is sending it
cold sonnet
the bot is sending it
that's why
slate swan
the bot is sending it
cool
fervent shoal
how do i fix >.<
slate swan
how do i fix >.<
return the function
its in a for loop so for each element it will send that
fervent shoal
return

cold sonnet
that was a really bad example
slate swan

return what
cold sonnet
you can't just
if every chips in can of pringles
be like me
fervent shoal
what am i returning
slate swan
be like me
true true
cold sonnet
that was a wise example
slate swan
what am i returning
just do return await ...
slate swan
be like me
sorry๐
cold sonnet
!resources Riot
unkempt canyonBOT
fervent shoal
just do `return await ...`
slate swan
delete the first one
fervent shoal
the first await?
slate swan
yes
fervent shoal
to match the if statement?
cold sonnet
and remove (message) there
cold sonnet
to match the if statement?
no, to be 1 indent infront of it
fervent shoal
can i restrict what channel it cannot go in
cold sonnet
can i restrict what channel it cannot go in
ofcourse...?
fervent shoal
correction, how do i restrict it
cold sonnet
check for example for the message's channel's id
fervent shoal
if channel(channel),
cold sonnet
fervent shoal
you are speak big words wise one
cold sonnet
if message.category.id == *some big numbers*:
return
get category's id by enabling developer mode on discord, right clicking the category in discord and copying id
and then replace some big numbers with that
cold sonnet
just return
if you return at the start, the function's not gonna continue
P Y T H O N T E A C H E R
fervent shoal
like so?
cold sonnet
uh I think it would be better after the first if but before the return await
on the same level as the return await
fervent shoal
so what do i change
cold sonnet
or maybe even just after the for line
and after defining the function, check
if message.author.bot: return
``` 
fervent shoal
slate swan
I got command that replyโs message.content but I want it to reply after the command and not include the command itself
fervent shoal
so im all set
cold sonnet
still works the same
cold sonnet
so im all set
prolly
cold sonnet
I got command that replyโs message.content but I want it to reply after the comm...
are you using commands?
because like
replies message.content
show us your code
pliant gulch
it's memorically dumb
You could use sets to reduce the time complexity on this
a = set(list_of_stuff)
b = set(message.content)
if b.intersection(a):
...
@cold sonnet there is no message.category.id
it doesnt exist according to this code
do i have to import something
slate swan
replies message.content
async def test(ctx, *, reason=None):
await ctx.author.send(ctx.message.content)
await ctx.author.send(reason)
slate swan
Ok
cold sonnet
why is it named reason
outer parcel
@client.command()
async def shop(ctx):
em=discord.Embed(title=f"Shop",description = f"the shop :/")
for item in mainshop:

em.set_footer(icon_url = ctx.author.avatar_url, text = f"๐ธ | Requested by {ctx.author.name}")
await ctx.reply(embed=em)
it keeps on saying invalid syntax
slate swan
why is it named reason
Idk lmao it was for testing something else
slate swan
it keeps on saying invalid syntax
What line?
outer parcel
3rd
slate swan
Ok
cold sonnet
nah nothing's wrong there
cold sonnet
but there's absolutely no need for f-strings
outer parcel
ok iguess ill leavit it
cold sonnet
lacking pep8
slate swan
Ok Iโll try
cold sonnet
await ctx.author.send(reason if reason else "Send something or I'll kick your ass")
torn sail
reason or โsome random reason" also works instead of reason if reason else
cold sonnet
It worked but python thinks otherwise
if you don't pass anything when invoking the command, it won't work
slate swan
Ok
cold sonnet
`` await ctx.author.send(reason if reason else "Send something or I'll kick you...
this would work in any situation
slate swan
Ok
cold sonnet
because it checks if reason's None
fervent shoal
none of these are working now
cold sonnet
you copied all of that 
fervent shoal
me?
slate swan
@cold sonnet will [reason] work for a command like test.com/@[reason]
fervent shoal
i am unable to see where
fervent shoal
@bot.command(name="ping")
async def ping(ctx: commands.Context):

cold sonnet
no not in these
fervent shoal
why does the code look thiny never work
cold sonnet
of your on_message
fervent shoal
slate swan
LOL
fervent shoal
idk how this helps the commands on top 
fervent shoal
how do i do this right
cold sonnet
but there's a much better way without process_commands
and an easier one
replace @bot.event above the on_message line with @bot.listen()
slate swan
Why do u have so many arguments
cold sonnet
so the decorator won't work the same
cold sonnet
so now you have something like
@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
...
fervent shoal
waiting
cold sonnet
parantheses
fervent shoal
yes
cold sonnet
to @bot.listen()
fervent shoal
am i set
cold sonnet
yes
