ebon island
So it isn't presently in usable form?
pliant gulch
Currently only a few models are semi-implemented, the only thing COMPLETELY usable is the backend stuff, caching, dispatching, event listeners, one-time events, event collectors, waiting for events, intents, gateway handling, member chunking, etc

It's in a form now where it's enough for anyone of a certain skill level to extend the wrapper itself
But it's not very good for new-users right now?
Or users who want a lot of syntactic sugars

it seems like your wrapper is for more experience devs

I don't see the link in the repo, where is it?
pliant gulch
I would say for now, if you plan on using the wrapper I wouldn't do any serious project. As the wrapper itself right now is in pre-alpha and is meant to be used bleeding edge

ebon island
So if I'm understanding correctly, this is intended to be a wrapper for the entirety of dpy?
pliant gulch
The only thing that I plan for the wrapper to have in common with discord.py is the native API part, I don't plan on adding chat command extensions, instead keep the wrapper fully native with discord's API, also adding a few syntactic sugars here and there
ebon island
Since I see in client.py example you're handling starting the bot with a key I'd assume the intent is handling all of the methods/calls that dpy does, is that a correct assumption?
pliant gulch
Since I see in client.py example you're handling starting the bot with a key I'd...
The client will handle the RESTful API, Keeping gateway alive, handling the gateway and then handle subscription of event listeners

How would I give a user permission to a channel upon a command, e.g. !add <user>
sick birch
How would I give a user permission to a channel upon a command, e.g. !add <user>
You'd have to assign to them a role that has the permissions to make channels
Then give them that role when they run the command
Or do you mean they should just be able to view it?
kindred drum
able to view that one channel and type in it
overwrites = {
guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=False),

anyone got any suggestions on how I could implement a reminders system to my bot. I was thinking of having a remind <date/time> <message> command which logs ctx.author.id, ctx.guild.id, date/time and message to my database which I can setup (mostly) without issues (haven't made it yet) but I'm not sure how to make the bot actually send the reminder, I was thinking maybe use a task set to run every second or something but that seems excessive and expensive on my bot if it's making a database call every second and I also thought about just making the remind command sleep until the provided time but then how do i deal with the bot restarting. I'm mostly just wondering how y'all suggest I go about making the set send the reminders
sick birch
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop, you can pass in a datetime.datetime object to the time kwarg

You could use `asyncio.run()`
That should only be used to kick start the event loop
Not as a "use coroutines outside of async"

If you run your task set on a separate thread, then it should not affect your bot. Though running a few tasks every few seconds won't really affect much (thanks to async).
I'd say... you should use apscheduler. Do something like: User runs command > Create a job and ask apscheduler to schedule it and store it in db > In case bot restarts, fetch pending jobs from db and reschedule them

It's not that hard for simple use like this one.. ```py

Now to add and remove jobs, just do like ```py
def remind_user():
send_message_to_user_about_reminder_time_completion()
def command_to_create_reminder(time):
bot.scheduler.add_job(remind_user, 'interval', seconds=time, id="some_unique_id")
You can also create a cancel command like ```py
def command_to_cancel_existing_reminder():
bot.scheduler_remove_job("same_unique_id_which_you_used_while_adding_job")
Ofc you can do more customizations like storing jobs in cache or db, loading and unloading them on startup and cleanup, and more... It's the most basic usage you need to do to create a reminder commandOh that's good to know, thanks for the explanation

new to python, sorry
Coming from react where you can just call a function like this
patent lark
if your send_message() function is under the tasks.loop() decorator, you need to start it via your on_ready() function. await send_message.start()

also, just a tip, dont name your bot object client this can be confusing and arguably incorrect as discord.Client() is a thing , you're naming the bot object "client".

other factors also play a role in the way you should name your variables

also why are you fetching the user? it seems like you're making an API call thats not needed.
fickle bloom
Well, long story short. We have one person who constantly is getting deafened as a joke
and to help him I want to undefean him every 15 seconds
patent lark
Im a bit confused I suppose
you are currently using ``fetch_user()` which returns a User object, im saying there is no fetch_member() attribute for the member object so you should probably use a member converter
fickle bloom
patent lark
and to help him I want to undefean him every 15 seconds
right but using fetch_user() calls the API. which can get you ratelimited if its over used, this is not needed as you can use get_user(). the bot will grab the User from its cache if you use get_user() rather than calling the API to grab a member
fickle bloom
Guild has fetch member
doesn't guild require context though?
patent lark
not if you use get_guild()
fickle bloom
Only places I am using guild I have context

`except 404`?
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10026): Unknown Ban``` would be the error so you might be using `discord.NotFound`well i usually use is None since it is a part of my dumb habit
i am new to this library so...
pliant gulch
What's wrong with is None
sage otter
I thought it throws HTTPExeption tho 
fading harness
What's wrong with `is None`
yeah i agree too

NotFound is a child class of HTTPException

why not just use some discord.py fork? this library seems a bit confusing and not too well documented

it doesnt costs too much to host them
since replit sucks with hosting discord bot with gateway
slate swan
do you mean "too much" in terms of resources?
sage otter
What's wrong with `is None`
Personally I believe it makes your code look cleaner and have less redundancy.
fading harness
do you mean "too much" in terms of resources?
too much
sage otter
Same reason why people use
if not something instead of using if something == False or some shit.

Must be the work of all of those maintainers that kayle speaks of.
pliant gulch

When the trash lang runs 97% of the internet
sage otter
That doesnโt mean anything 
pliant gulch
If it was objectively trash, I'm sure the community would've switched to something better no?
sage otter
PHP is used a lot in the internet but itโs still objectively trash.
pliant gulch
Yes, and people upgraded from php to javascript
slate swan
google has python in it
sage otter
I mean thatโs whatever ig. I got nothing more to say.
strong vessel
i'm just lazy to learn the intricacies of multiple languages
like i find it tiring to keep up
slate swan
lans are easy after you know python all you need to learn is syntax
neat tartan
Learning different coding languages is just like learning a new library
sage otter
Must be the work of all of those maintainers that kayle speaks of.
Continuing on top of this. One of the key differences is that discord.py has a single maintainer plus the addition of pull requests. So you know it kinda makes sense that it has less features than something that has a surplus of maintainers 
strong vessel
nvm i have to learn js anyway
strong vessel
i might use discord js if it's that much better
slate swan
gl with that ig
slate swan
i mean yeah ofc python is simple compared to other lans
neat tartan
Youll probably do better just sticking with the language you know and using a different lib within it than learning a new langauge and library
slate swan
ruby is like python but less powerful and easier compared to python which is for complicated stuff

message intents is big for verified bots ig

oh i get it
it has workarounds built into it so actually its not as bad as i thought
slate swan
its just a change to the api
strong vessel
it's annoying though it means having to refactor the bot
slate swan
just apply for it
strong vessel
ok sure i'll try be positive about it
slate swan
youll need to read what makes your bot acceptable to the intent
strong vessel
i mean, basically it means i should never use prefix, and only use mentions in all bots..
it looks like that is what the giant article sums up to

I might do them at some point instead but im tired of prefixes overlapping other bots

idk how it works, i do not think it is simple though
I didnt think it would be that easy unfortunately
Fuuu
Ok
strong vessel
its not super hard but... like its important to start early instead of getting all the users used to prefixes and then changing to mentions
strong vessel
dang i really have to put effort into refactoring the bot and learning how to make it adapt to these new rules though
neat tartan
What i meant was i cant just swap the ! On line 10 to a bot mention
strong vessel
actually the more i read it, discord really wants us to refactor our bots
We expect most bots and apps to migrate to new ways of engaging with users, like slash commands and other interactions. Please bear in mind that only bots that perform unique behaviors (that cannot be performed by Interactions) will be eligible for this intent.
it means that you could not fulfill your bots behavior without mentioning the user or using DM
in other words... they are banning prefixes
quick gust
things which require message content intent, mostly moderation stuff
neat tartan
it means that you could not fulfill your bots behavior without mentioning the us...
Ooo ok
strong vessel
i wish they were more straightforward about it 'we are banning prefixes', it took me so much analysis to figure that out
quick gust
It still won't affect bots in less than 100 servers and unverified bots
quick gust
i wish they were more straightforward about it 'we are banning prefixes', it too...
They didn't frame it that way because it's more than just "banning prefixes"
neat tartan
Aight so im still good for quite a bit with my test bot
strong vessel
It still won't affect bots in less than 100 servers and unverified bots
75 servers
This change affects only verified bots, bots that are in 75 or more servers. Unverified bots in fewer than 75 servers are not affected at all.
