Linux

[pliant gulch]

That's odd, add_signal_handler should work fine for linux

I was expecting windows or something

[tall walrus]

idk

When I test on Windows everything works fine though

[pliant gulch]

Since you sublcasses the client already, you could just overwrite the run method bound to the class, and just call self.loop.stop() after calling the super classes run method

That would probably fix the error, or in this case handle closing the client correctly

[tall walrus]

Ok I will try

Thanks for your help anyways

Where do I place the command self.loop.stop() ?

[pliant gulch]

You would overwrite the run method, call super().run(...) ... being whatever args you were gonna give to bot.run, You'd wrap super().run(...) in a try-except with RuntimeError then call self.loop.stop() if caught

You may then call self.loop.close() afterwards, which discord.py was originally attempting to do

[tall walrus]

I have this error now :

NameError: name 'self' is not defined```

[pliant gulch]

You have to create the method bound to the subclassed client class

Pass self to the arguments as the first arg

[slim ibex]

self should be the first parameter of instance methods

class methods take cls and static methods don’t need any params

[tall walrus]

okay

If not, can you fix the code? I admit I'm a little confused especially since I don't speak English fluently so it's hard to understand what you're saying.

[slim ibex]

we won’t spoon feed, but we will help you

[tall walrus]

okay

my imports and stuff

[slim ibex]

had nothing to do with imports

[cerulean olive]

idk i have confused my self

[slim ibex]

well

it says your utils module

So I assume you are trying to use a name from there that doesn’t exist

[cerulean olive]

as well

'cogs.misc' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'ui'

i am learning cogs

[hoary cargo]

Are you using dpy 1.7.x ? Or

[slim ibex]

!pip discord-ui

[unkempt canyon]

discord-ui v5.1.6

A disord.py extension for discord's ui/interaction features

[hoary cargo]

Wack

[slim ibex]

forks like disnake don’t require you to install extra shit for things like interaction. I would migrate over as it isn’t a big code change

[cerulean olive]

whats a short way 2 search for a command

[slim ibex]

wdym

[cerulean olive]

like u can search for a command name'

[slim ibex]

in discord?

[cerulean olive]

in vsc

[slim ibex]

CTRL+F and search for the function?

[cerulean olive]

thanks

[hoary cargo]

damn
In Pycharm there's something called structure showing you all the classes and functions separately

[pliant gulch]

pycharm kek

[cerulean olive]

yea these are just all my errors i got 2 fix

[-] Failed to load the developer.py cog. Exception: Extension 'cogs.developer' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'utils' has no attribute 'CustomContext'

[-] Failed to load the reminder.py cog. Exception: Extension 'cogs.reminder' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'utils' has no attribute 'CustomBot'

@slim ibex can u add me

[boreal ravine]

1. make a CustomContext class?
2. use discord.py 2.0 to access the ui folder/features
3. 1
4. make a CustomBot class?

How to avoid InteractionResponded error, but still be available to edit the interaction

[maiden fable]

use interaction.defer then interaction.followup

[pliant gulch]

perhaps

[maiden fable]

I do 👀

How to get started with this bot in python ,any online material anyone could suggest

[maiden fable]

interaction.followup can be used to edit or send whatever

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: discordpy.discord, nextcord.discord

[tidal hawk]

ah so interaction.followup.edit_message?

[cedar stream]

!unban

[maiden fable]

sure

!source unban @cedar stream

[unkempt canyon]

Command: unban

Prematurely end the active ban infraction for the user.

Source Code

Go to GitHub

bot/exts/moderation/infraction/infractions.py:330

[cedar stream]

no like where it says that lucases unban command is bad

[hoary cargo]

so you prefer a text editor with syntax highlight over a full fledged IDE designed for Python development ?

[maiden fable]

We don't do that here

[maiden fable]

Yes

[cedar stream]

oh i though there was

[cedar stream]

i can just steal the one from here

[maiden fable]

Haha

[pliant gulch]

The server has kicked you out seems like

[pliant gulch]

I prefer a bloat-free IDE that I get to pick and choose what I use

[maiden fable]

Randomly?

[pliant gulch]

Also I don't want to be forced to use a venv

[maiden fable]

[pliant gulch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden fable]

Facts. I don't use venv's lmao

Imagine me smh over a ModuleNotFoundError lol

[maiden fable]

Ah well... Weird

[slate swan]

can a command be triggered by a slash or it's prefix at the same time? (disnake)

[maiden fable]

Sure

Just define two separate commands

[pliant gulch]

Venvs are good though, I use them all the time I just don’t want to be forced to use pycharms

[maiden fable]

I don't use those ngl

[potent spear]

That was one of my first errors
since pycharm automatically starts a project in a venv & I was installing globally

[slate swan]

no let's say i have a command called "ping" & the bot's prefix is !

can ping be triggered by using a slash command (/ping) and using the normal prefix (!ping) ?

[maiden fable]

Sure

[maiden fable]

Haha I know that feeling

[potent spear]

you just need an alias for one of the ping commands, since else the functions will be shadowing

[tidal hawk]

Should I use interaction defer before or after respondid the message

[hoary cargo]

pov you want to import modules you don't have installed

[maiden fable]

Lmaoo

[tidal hawk]

@maiden fable

[cerulean olive]

legend

[hoary cargo]

also if you really have a problem with this you can make that the venv inherits the modules from your other projects but well

[maiden fable]

before

[cerulean olive]

ur right i used my mates code for template

[maiden fable]

Uhh I will stick to VSC, thanks

[cerulean olive]

i am trying 2 learn cogs

[maiden fable]

U didn't copy it correctly

[cerulean olive]

i can see

[pliant gulch]

Pycharm, the IDE that does 20 other things you don’t need

[potent spear]

pass the requirements.txt I'd say

[tidal hawk]

@maiden fable pls guide me how to use that followup

obv that way it doesnt work

[maiden fable]

u need to do send

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

await send_message(content=None, *, embed=..., embeds=..., view=..., tts=False, ephemeral=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[tidal hawk]

But i want to edit the message

[maiden fable]

Which message lol

[tidal hawk]

Firstly it's inside a dropdown menu

then after selecting something it will add another view with buttonis

[maiden fable]

Then remove the defer and just do interaction.response.send_message and then use interaction.response.edit_original_message

[tidal hawk]

I think that was the thing I was searching for

[cerulean olive]

whats best way 2 learn cogs

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog

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

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

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

[tidal hawk]

And If I want to respond with nothing (to avoid the Interaction Failed) then I just respond with defer right?

or is there another way

[hoary cargo]

uh, maybe you should stick first to learn classes in general

[tidal hawk]

How are there multiple views on one message?

[kindred drum]

yo anyone know how I would check an account age?

like compared it e.g. if account age < 3 months then:

[slate swan]

ok imma make a new bot so in a few hours i might need help

[maiden fable]

It is just 1 view

U can add multiple components in the same view

[hoary cargo]

!d disnake.Member.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.created\_at

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

[kindred drum]

i got it

anyone know how to like get the account age from the creation date?

it seems really complex but if anyone got a good idea lmk

[maiden fable]

Wait what

account age from creation date?

Ah u mean the time how old the account is?

[kindred drum]

yeah

like 1 year old etc

[maiden fable]

Well, there was a function like that in the datetime lib

how to do cooldown messages?

[naive spoke]

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send('click here for roles')
    await message.add_reaction(':white_check_mark:')

why is the reaction not on the message

[buoyant quail]

where did you initialize message?

[naive spoke]

what does that mean

[buoyant quail]

message = value

[naive spoke]

uh

[honest vessel]

message = await ctx.send('click here for roles')

[naive spoke]

i didnt do message

oh

[honest vessel]

you need to define variable as that ctx.send and it will be a message object that u then can use with .add_reaction() on

[naive spoke]

i see

await message.add_reaction(':white_check_mark:') message does not have anything

[honest vessel]

did you change the code?

[naive spoke]

i just did lemme see

uh still no reaction i put in message =

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
  message =  await ctx.send('click here for roles')
  await message.add_reaction(':white_check_mark:')

[honest vessel]

ah you cant do ✅

you need unicode

[naive spoke]

which is?

[honest vessel]

\✅

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):
  message =  await ctx.send('click here for roles')
  await message.add_reaction('✅')

[naive spoke]

yea it works

now how do i make it that the bot says somthing when we click reaction

[honest vessel]

@naive spokehint ow to get unicodes of emijis in discord type :emojiname: but put \ infront of the emoji and post it

[naive spoke]

k

[naive spoke]

or i can just copy the emoji

[honest vessel]

if you copy ✅ it will not be unicode it will copy : white_check_mark :

but if u put \ infront of emoji it will post a unicode one

[naive spoke]

no i mean

copy to vscode

[honest vessel]

ah yea

[honest vessel]

for messages as posted by a user? then you will need to track them and put em with time and if like X messages in Y time: put timeout / ignore messages for a cooldown, this would be best done in a database

[fallow mauve]

ok

[honest vessel]

but if you want cooldown for commands there are @decorations @command.cooldown()

[fallow mauve]

thx

[nimble plume]

Need a idea

[naive spoke]

ok how do i make the bot reconize a reaction and the user who did it and send a message

[honest vessel]

use User.created_at and convert it to a timestamp() "unix timestamp" and post in discord "<t:"+str(THE_TIME_STAMP)+":R>"this will automaticly display like 1 year 2 month 3 days etc, or if just 2 days ago

[nimble plume]

I have a !prvc create command which creates a channel and add author id to a list i want to check if the channel is deleted the user id is removed suggest something

Datamanagment smh

[honest vessel]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_raw_reaction_add(self, payload):
        print(payload)
        if payload.message_id == 12346578969:
``` just a short example

or you can use wait_for()

um

how do i convert it?

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=wait_for#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[naive spoke]

whats a cog

[kindred drum]

[nimble plume]

logs = some of database
for items in logs
If payload.guild.id == logs
await ctx.send(guild somehow)

payload.guild.send()

.channel*

[honest vessel]

cog is a file that contains a class for commands and tasks or listeners
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=wait_for#cogs

[nimble plume]

Nvmd

[nimble plume]

Cogs are for seprating commands like different file for moderation.py main.py utility.py

If im not wrong

[honest vessel]

wich makes it easier to edit and manage ur bot, and also disable/activiate diffrent commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, title=Embed.Empty, type='rich', url=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[honest vessel]

u can use round(thetimestamp)

[tiny ibex]

Math.trunc()

[final iron]

!d round

[unkempt canyon]

round

round(number[, ndigits])```
Return *number* rounded to *ndigits* precision after the decimal point. If *ndigits* is omitted or is `None`, it returns the nearest integer to its input.

For the built-in types supporting [`round()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#round "round"), values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus *ndigits*; if two multiples are equally close, rounding is done toward the even choice (so, for example, both `round(0.5)` and `round(-0.5)` are `0`, and `round(1.5)` is `2`). Any integer value is valid for *ndigits* (positive, zero, or negative). The return value is an integer if *ndigits* is omitted or `None`. Otherwise, the return value has the same type as *number*.

For a general Python object `number`, `round` delegates to `number.__round__`.

visit #bot-commands for the reason

[honest vessel]

u had space infront of ur for loop

[honest vessel]

Not yet working on it 🙂

[maiden fable]

Yea he is totally drunk rn

[honest vessel]

😦

[slate swan]

hunter, check #bot-commands

[slate swan]

aw, dont be sad 🫂 ilysm

[maiden fable]

What's there

[slate swan]

anyways

[maiden fable]

Would be fun to see yr reaction to yr messages when u become sober

Imagine getting this for free 😶

And using it in your discord bot

in the code

[final iron]

Is that a lot?

[maiden fable]

I mean

Yea, according to me at least xD

[final iron]

Isn't 3 tables like nothing though?

[maiden fable]

I am talking about the reads and writes lol

[final iron]

Oh

[honest vessel]

u can show me my messages then if they so funny 😄

Lol

bbl cigg n beer time

hello guys, how can i make

 if user2 == None:
        user2 = ctx.author```

If the user none the user == my bot

i try slap command with pillow

[native wedge]

what is a good cheap VPS for simple bot? only using on 1-2 servers

[honest vessel]

i use vultr before i used digitalocean

[native wedge]

what is better

[honest vessel]

#discord-bots message

[honest vessel]

pretty much same

[native wedge]

also

ive seen in servers

multiple of the same bot

like how would that work

[honest vessel]

@native wedgemy vultr server, top - 16:51:52 up 373 days

more than a year up n running

[native wedge]

like why ? i dont understand

[sick birch]

AWS is also an excellent provider though it's a bit more expensive than the others

[native wedge]

like its the same bot multiple times, how and why

[honest vessel]

that looks not like abuse at all 😛

[final iron]

user2 = user2 or ctx.author. user2 will become ctx.author if user2 is None

[honest vessel]

but he wanted bot as user2 if its none

something like user2 = user2 or bot.user?

[sage otter]

ctx.me works

[honest vessel]

ah yeah forgot that one!

[maiden fable]

Oracle ftw

[sage otter]

Oracle free tier users be like:

[pliant gulch]

Cloudflare rest only bot

[sage otter]

[honest vessel]

raspberrypi 😄

[pliant gulch]

More expensive over time compared to renting a cheap VPS

[honest vessel]

not sure about that 😛

it takes like zero power

[pliant gulch]

You have to do maintenance, pay Wi-Fi bills, pay electricity bills, you also have to pay for more storage for the more users you get

[honest vessel]

cheap vps cost 5-10$

[pliant gulch]

Your raspberry pi is also more likely to go offline compared to one of the VPSs backed by enterprises

[honest vessel]

i have a raspberry laying at home doing nothing atm but sucking electricity

[pliant gulch]

You also don’t have any warranty for corruption etc

[honest vessel]

your ISP dosnt prob have same uptime either 😛

[pliant gulch]

You also don’t have enterprise level security

👁️👁️ overall it’s better to get a VPS

[honest vessel]

ofc 😛

hide ur raspberry in mcdonalds or some place with free wifi

😁

[sage otter]

I’m return you get that mega latency

[pliant gulch]

That probably breaks their Wi-Fi TOS which they can then sue you for

👍 genius idea

Your ISP also might not be fine with you hosting, they can throttle your bandwidth

[left crater]

what are u trying to make

[honest vessel]

that depends on ISP i never had issue with hosting like IRCbots or skypebots at home

[pliant gulch]

Depends on the ISP but still an issue no less

[honest vessel]

ye vps is best option for sure

[honest vessel]

I think he trying to make a slap function and if no given mention/user it gonna slap the bot itself?

[maiden fable]

And then there's my ISP which is currently giving 5000 MS in Discord VC lmao

[honest vessel]

[honest vessel]

You mean sum ISP chokes the speed?

[maiden fable]

yea, since a few days the WiFi is fucked

[honest vessel]

Not discord? u sure its ISP choking it?

[regal pulsar]

whats wrong with this

fight cmd

[honest vessel]

any errors?

[regal pulsar]

no

but

[left crater]

use ctx.author instead of the author having to menion them selves

[honest vessel]

your posted code dosnt even have that yes/no question

[regal pulsar]

it does

[tacit token]

how?

[regal pulsar]

i sent it in 3 parts since it was big

[regal pulsar]

@honest vessel

[left crater]

use ctx.author.avatar_url

this gets the author profile picture

then use pillow to edit it

[tacit token]

ik but i try use my bot if the member not call 2 member to the command

[left crater]

        member = ctx.author```

[tacit token]

my commaand work but i dont know how to call my bot pfp if the member is 1

[tacit token]

yap this is my code

[tacit token]

.

[honest vessel]

ctx.me.avatar_url?

[left crater]

well it should work right?

[tacit token]

its work but my problem is not this

[tacit token]

i try it

[left crater]

then what is it

[regal pulsar]

https://mystb.in/BruneiEuropeServer.python

there

help anyone?

what exactly is wrong with the listener

[tacit token]

so my problem is how to call my bot pfp if the user 2 is none.

i send the image

[left crater]

so u want the bots profile picture?

[tacit token]

so the user1 is none the batman is my bot

if user1 is a member user1 pfp here

[left crater]

botavater = bot.avatar_url

[tacit token]

ty i try it

[left crater]

or u can use attachments

[quick gust]

error?

[regal pulsar]

wait_for isnt working

[tacit token]

pm me @regal pulsar

[quick gust]

ch1.content

instead of just ch1

do that in all other places like p2choice2

wherever you're checking the message's content

[regal pulsar]

ah

[vale wing]

Bot doesn't have that attribute

[final iron]

!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.

[final iron]

Paste all your code in there

[vale wing]

bot.user.display_avatar.url```
The correct way for dpy 2.0 and main forks

Already helped them

still isnt working

I'm not clicking on a random link

Use the one that was given

[regal pulsar]

oh k

[vale wing]

Why the heck do you name context message

[regal pulsar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/golucukupi

[regal pulsar]

force of habit ;/

[final iron]

I don't know how to describe this code

[vale wing]

That might cause misunderstanding

[left crater]

then what is it

[vale wing]

@left crater

[regal pulsar]

is it that bad :/

[vale wing]

I mean it's not a message lol, the actual message would be message.message and that's weird af

[final iron]

Yes

[regal pulsar]

i started like a week ago

[vale wing]

According to PEP8 you should give variables descriptive names

[regal pulsar]

hmm

[vale wing]

Not even in python, you should name the variables normally in any languages

Sorry for bad grammar

[final iron]

Naming Context message, naming a Member object user etc.

[regal pulsar]

whats wrong with naming a member obj as user

[nimble plume]

Yes i also use user

[final iron]

discord.User exists

[vale wing]

It should be member, cause user is usually discord.User

[nimble plume]

bot is only on servers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[regal pulsar]

ah

[final iron]

member = discord.User
user = discord.Member

Or:

member = discord.Member
user = discord.User

Which one is more readable

[sick birch]

use the 2nd one, it makes more sense

why would a user be a member

[nimble plume]

I use user = discord.Member 😎

😎

[regal pulsar]

ah

[final iron]

Proper variable naming matters

[nimble plume]

Ok ill change it its ez only ctrl + f2 and done

[final iron]

Same thing with context. As Exenifix pointed out, message.message can be really confusing and throw off the reader

[nimble plume]

ctx

[nimble plume]

[final iron]

huh

What library are you using?

discord doesn't have slash support

Also, requests is blocking

Use aiohttp instead

!pypi aiohttp

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp v3.8.1

Async http client/server framework (asyncio)

[regal pulsar]

well apart from wrong variable names what's the actual error in my code

[final iron]

You never gave any errors

[regal pulsar]

oh i mean bug

whats the bug

wait_for isnt picking up the msg

[final iron]

It should

Do you have an error handler?

It might be eating errors

[regal pulsar]

hmm ill try removing it

[regal pulsar]

ans = await bot.wait_for("message", timeout=60.0, start_choice_p1=start_choice_p1) TypeError: Client.wait_for() got an unexpected keyword argument 'start_choice_p1'

says start_choice_p1 isnt an expected arg

[final iron]

There is no start_choice_p1 kwarg

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[regal pulsar]

ah

[regal pulsar]

so ```py
ans = await bot.wait_for("message", timeout=60.0, check=start_choice_p1)

now im getting no errors but no output either

[quick gust]

your command error handler will definitely eat up all the errors u dont handle

[regal pulsar]

i removed it

[tacit token]

hi guys how can i send my bot pfp with client.user.avatar_url

[final iron]

Not 2.0 user

🗿

[tacit token]

?

[tacit storm]

ctx.bot.user.avatar iirc

[tacit token]

?

[final iron]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[slate swan]

wdym?

[tacit storm]

@tacit token

[tacit token]

i try command with pillow if the user1==none the bot send the bot pfp but if the user1 == none the bot send my pfp

[tacit storm]

use the one i sent, that should work for bot's avatar/

[hoary cargo]

Why would you send bot pfp

[tacit storm]

just dont question how they do it

[tacit token]

    botpfp=ctx.bot.user.avatar
    if user == None:
        user = botpfp
    if user2 == None:
        user2 = ctx.author

[slate swan]

==

[tacit token]

i try it and nothing

[hoary cargo]

I just did

[slate swan]

bot.user.avatar

[vale wing]

Why ctx.bot

[tacit token]

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

[slate swan]

what?

[vale wing]

You may also try ctx.me.avatar

[slate swan]

.url

[vale wing]

In his code he has the asset so I suggested asset

[slate swan]

yeah

[vale wing]

Also why c code 😳

[daring valley]

how can i convert ctx to SlashContext (slash command)

[vale wing]

Oh mo I smell weird slash commands lib

[hoary cargo]

Depends if he's using something else than dpy
Even dpy 2.0 ig got rid of .url

[vale wing]

Nope

[daring valley]

how 🙄

[slate swan]

oh wow, wait...when did that happen?

[vale wing]

In versions lower than 2.0 it was indeed

...user.avatar_url```
But now it is
```py
...user.avatar.url```

[hoary cargo]

Wasn't that just an alias?

[vale wing]

Not sure

Anyways currently you access it only by second method

[tacit storm]

i don't think so

[vale wing]

And it's better to use display_avatar because avatar for users with default profile is None

[sage otter]

No.

before avatar wasn’t an Asset

[tacit storm]

can you link me the docs for display_avatar?

[vale wing]

!d discord.User.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.display\_avatar

property display_avatar: discord.asset.Asset```
Returns the user’s display avatar.

For regular users this is just their default avatar or uploaded avatar.

New in version 2.0.

[hoary cargo]

well, you can just add an inoffensive check if it's none

[vale wing]

Why'd you need that

[tacit token]

@client.command()
async def slap(ctx, user: discord.Member=None,user2: discord.Member=None):
    botpfp=client.user.avatar
    if user == None:
        user == botpfp
    if user2 == None:
        user2 = ctx.author
    wanted = Image.open("batman.jpg")
    asset = user2.avatar_url_as(size = 128)
    data = BytesIO(await asset.read())
    pfp=Image.open(data)
    pfp = pfp.resize((291,251)) #A kép mérete pxben
    wanted.paste(pfp,(809,321))

    wanted.paste(pfp,(497,115))
    wanted.save("batman1.jpg")
    await ctx.send(file=discord.File("batman1.jpg"))```

[vale wing]

When there's better option

Does context even have bot attr

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

[tacit token]

similar to dank memer slap

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

The bot that contains the command being executed.

[vale wing]

O

@tacit token what version of lib

[tacit token]

dpy lib or pill or what

[vale wing]

Dpy

[tacit token]

1.7.3

[hoary cargo]

imo i see no point into displaying a default avatar

but i understand what u say

[slate swan]

i have this for a client.wait_for('reaction_add') check and how do i make it check also if the message is the same py def check_reaction(reaction, user): return user == ctx.author and (str(reaction.emoji) == cross or str(reaction.emoji) == check)

reaction.channel ? if thats a thing

o

its reaction.message

[tacit token]

anybody?

[vale wing]

Try

ctx.me.avatar_url```

[manic wing]

ctx.author

[vale wing]

Well at least now it works

Maybe you need member.add_roles

[slate swan]

!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.

[vale wing]

There should be no ctx

As you are adding roles not to yourself

[tacit token]

not work

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

the file kwarg

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=False)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[manic wing]

await channel.send(file=discord.File('./main.py'))

[knotty jasper]

what is a good resource to learn to make discord bots

[vale wing]

Check channel's topic

[final iron]

https://vcokltfre.dev/

[vale wing]

And this one is good as well

[knotty jasper]

Thank you both. It looks fun to do.

[slate swan]

Fun until you get to the real stuff

[knotty jasper]

gives me something to do while outside of class to keep up on python code. Im a cybersecurity major so anything helps keep fresh

[hoary cargo]

[maiden fable]

the channel isn't in any category

[left crater]

didnt u say it works

[tacit token]

its not work, but i delete this project.

[golden needle]

im new to coding and im using some code to make a discord bot but when i try to install colarama this error comes up

[slate swan]

Isnt colorama preinstalled

And this isnt the right channel

[maiden fable]

nope

[slate swan]

Okay python sucks

[maiden fable]

Its the ANSI color codes

[tacit storm]

no, it's just a third party module lmfao

[maiden fable]

use get member please

[slate swan]

Welp

[maiden fable]

don't use fetch

Also

[tacit storm]

i agree, it does need to be a default module but it's not made by python officially.

[maiden fable]

that will trigger every time a message is sent

[slate swan]

fetch_member isnt a thing anyways rofl

[maiden fable]

So u will need to make another check to see if the message channel has no category

[slate swan]

Ha lol

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.fetch_member uhhh

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_member

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

Retrieves a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") from a guild ID, and a member ID.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_member()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.get_member "discord.Guild.get_member") instead.

    def __init__(self, bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot
```AttributeError: type object 'Birthday' has no attribute 'bot'
excusez moi?

[maiden fable]

just check first if msg.channel.category is None

Where u using that tho

Also u need an instance of the Birthday class

[cold sonnet]

oh well

I wanna make this efficient

but it's the worst code I've ever written

and my raspberry will NOT be able to handle the bullshit it will see here

[maiden fable]

Yea, also u can combine the first two if statements

[final iron]

Just do:

    if msg.channel.category is None or msg.author.bot:
        return

[maiden fable]

if not msg.channel.category lol

[final iron]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[maiden fable]

code

lemme see...

weirddddddddd

[final iron]

!d discord.TextChannel.category

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.category

property category: Optional[CategoryChannel]```
The category this channel belongs to.

If there is no category then this is `None`.

[final iron]

Hmm

print msg.channel.category

Yes

See what its returning

The function should of been returned

No like print(msg.channel.category)

Oh yeah

Put that at the beginning of the code

Because of the exception the print statement isn't being reached

No

I mean like this: print(msg.channel.category)

[tepid siren]

hi how can I make it so that my dis bot can only read/send msgs in a certain channel?
code:

import discord

my_secret = ''
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("USER:{0.user}".format(client))


@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return
client.run(my_secret)

[final iron]

Are you still getting the exception?

bruh

🗿

[final iron]

In a command or in an on_message event?

[tepid siren]

?

[final iron]

Do you want your bot to disregard messages in your command or in an on_message event

i.e

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

Or

@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
    ...

[tepid siren]

on_message event i think

ok but how does this help?

😄

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.channel

The TextChannel or Thread that the message was sent from. Could be a DMChannel or GroupChannel if it’s a private message.

[final iron]

Code?

[cerulean olive]

    @commands.command()
    async def kiss(ctx, *, user: discord.Member=None):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        if user == ctx.author:
            return await ctx.send("You can't kiss yourself... Find someone to kiss *pssh what a loser*")
        if not user:
            return await ctx.send("You need to ping a user to kiss.")
        r = requests.get("https://nekos.life/api/v2/img/kiss")
        res = r.json()
        em = discord.Embed(description=f"{ctx.author.mention} kissing <3 {user.mention}", color=0x89CFF0)
        em.set_image(url=res['url'])
        em.set_footer(
            text=f"Request by {ctx.author}", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar.url)
        await ctx.send(embed=em)

i am using old version of py btw

[final iron]

You need self as the first parameter in your function

You're in a class

[cerulean olive]

thank u

[royal meteor]

Does paginator already have a set amount of commands per page?

[final iron]

Which paginator...

[royal meteor]

Paginator in general

[final iron]

wdym?

Are you asking for ways to improve your code?

[slate swan]

hey are you still stuck?

send the full code if possible also send what’s happening / what’s not working i don’t see anything glaring in the code above

[tepid siren]

import discord

my_secret = ''
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("USER:{0.user}".format(client))


@client.event
async def on_message(message):

    if message.author == client.user:
        return
     if 'hi' in channel.message.content.lower():
        await channel.send('hello')

client.run(my_secret)

hi how can i make this work?

i have it in i just deleted it

you know just in case

[slate swan]

what output do you get when running it

also tell me what you’re indentation looks like that code example i think the tabs are wrong but idk if that’s just a copy/paste discord issue

[slate swan]

what’s the issue?

[tepid siren]

the channel doesn't have the attribute message

I need it to detect when a user types something in a certain channel

[slate swan]

print(str(msg))

at the top of your on_message for me

[dapper cobalt]

The channel is not in a category, thus, the channel.category returned as None.

[tepid siren]

can you help?

[slate swan]

yeah i can i’m looking over your code

yeah run it and lmk what output is

[tepid siren]

oh ok 😄

[slate swan]

also look at @dapper cobalt they might be right idk

[dapper cobalt]

The print cannot be below the decorator. It has to be inside the function.

What comes below the decorator is the function.

[dapper cobalt]

[vague grove]

is there an event that can be triggered when someone creates an invite?

[slate swan]

you only want it to output in one channel?

[dapper cobalt]

!d discord.on_invite_create

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_invite\_create

discord.on_invite_create(invite)```
Called when an [`Invite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Invite "discord.Invite") is created. You must have the [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to receive this.

New in version 1.3.

Note

There is a rare possibility that the [`Invite.guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Invite.guild "discord.Invite.guild") and [`Invite.channel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Invite.channel "discord.Invite.channel") attributes will be of [`Object`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Object "discord.Object") rather than the respective models.

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

[tepid siren]

it already outputs in one channel but i need it to get input from one channel

[slate swan]

okay i have an idea but we’re gonna have to work together on it to get it working. you have a little bit of time?

[tepid siren]

yea yea

[dapper cobalt]

Code?

[slate swan]

okay tldr here’s what i’m thinking.

we create a dictionary to track whether or not the bot is allowed to listen in a channel.

you will have a command to toggle letting the bot talk in a channel (on and off)

this way you can change the channel / do a different channel / do multiple channels

[dapper cobalt]

Initially, you need to pass a channel ID inside get_channel. Secondly, inside the string of my_secret is your bot's token. (In case you didn't put one)

If youw ant to print the content of the message, then it's msg.content.

The msg param you passed represents a discord.Message.

!d discord.Message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

class discord.Message```
Represents a message from Discord.

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

x != y Checks if two messages are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the message’s hash.

[tepid siren]

i need it to get input from text channel

[slate swan]

from all text channels or just the one?

[tepid siren]

just one

[slate swan]

yeah ez. okay here’s what we’re going to do:

at the top of your file type this:

channelTracking = {}

[tepid siren]

ok

[tepid siren]

on top of the imports?

[slate swan]

Below imports. With global variables if you have them

how to check if something matches the message.content even if it looks likesOmEtHiNg any help?

[vague grove]

ty

[dapper cobalt]

!d str.lower

[unkempt canyon]

str.lower

str.lower()```
Return a copy of the string with all the cased characters [4](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#id15) converted to lowercase.

The lowercasing algorithm used is described in section 3.13 of the Unicode Standard.

[tepid siren]

i think i have global variables

[slate swan]

ty

[slate swan]

Yeah put the new variable there

[tepid siren]

ok

[tepid siren]

then

[dapper cobalt]

Code?

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def workWithChannelTracker(msg):

[tepid siren]

do i have to do this?

[slate swan]

Yeah that's the new function declaration, were gonna fill it in too

[tepid siren]

kk, now? 😄

[slate swan]

if msg.channel not in channel tracker: #if the channel is not in our dictionary, do this
(Tab)channelTracker[msg.channel] = True
(Tab)await msg.channel.send("added to dictionary and I'm listening")

[tepid siren]

kk

[final iron]

Spaces over tabs

[cold sonnet]

so if I ask you, homies, in a databases case, because the right channel is ded
will I get sent away?
You'd never do that to me

homies

[final iron]

🗿

[slate swan]

else:
(Tab)if channelTracker[msg.channel]: #if the channel is in our dict but TRUE, we are turning it off
(Tab)(tab)channel tracker[msg.channel] = False
(tab)(tab) await msg.channel.send("no more listening here")

[final iron]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[final iron]

Also you should be using spaces

Stop advertising tabs

[slate swan]

🥴🥴🥴🥴 my friend i’m typing it all by hand tab works easier AND it makes sure they are at least copy + pasting with modifications instead of just copy paste

[tepid siren]

ok?

[final iron]

bruh

You make no sense

[slate swan]

LMAO

[cold sonnet]

        await db.execute(
            """
                INSERT INTO users (id, birthday) VALUES ($1, $2)
                ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET birthday = $2 WHERE (id = $1);
            """, message.author.id, var
        )

1. can I do that with $1 and $2?
2. asyncpg.exceptions.AmbiguousColumnError: column reference "id" is ambiguous

I will get sent away by Water_Gazes just cuz I said it

[tepid siren]

is that it? :)

[final iron]

How does changing `(tabs) into a tab make copy and pasting code any better

[slate swan]

(tab)else: #ifwe are not listening here, now we are
(tab)(tab) channel tracker[msg.channel] = True
(tab)(tab) await msg.send(“listening here now”

[cold sonnet]

channel tracker[msg.channel] that's no true code

[slate swan]

slightly more work and they have to read every line

[slate swan]

yeah i’m here helping not doing it completely for you

[slate swan]

not quite. that’s one function. now we’re going to add a little bit into the on_message to make it work

[tepid siren]

lol

[slate swan]

okay now in your on_message

[tepid siren]

i feel like there is a easier way to do this tbh

[slate swan]

if await bot.process_commands(message): #this let’s you try and process the message as a command instead of a message
(tab)pass

else:
(put your entire on_message here)

[final iron]

I've been in here for 2 seconds and I'm already done

You make 0 sense

[slate swan]

RIP help em then lmao this is the solution i know

[pliant gulch]

Why is bot.process_commands in a if statement, do you know that this method always returns None so it is never truthy?

And even then, you only pass, this makes no sense

[tepid siren]

there isnt a process_commands method

[cold sonnet]

there is tho

but it never returns a boolean

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

[pliant gulch]

It's bound to your bot instance

[slate swan]

you might be able to skip the pass line BUT this is why

we either want it to process as a command OR a message

[pliant gulch]

There should be no pass statement in the first place, neither an if-statement

[slate swan]

not both

[tepid siren]

ummm

[slate swan]

if it’s a command run it, otherwise don’t

[pliant gulch]

You don't process commands 🤔 You process the message

[slate swan]

the message will be the command

[fallow mauve]

ok, im deconstructing my friend's code for his economy bot and attempting to make a bot with it and learn how it works at the same time, and it's been going really well, but i got this error when i tried to add a new section of the user's balance menu:

[halcyon sparrow]

Does anyone feel kind of stuck with starting to code your bot?

[cold sonnet]

huh

[slate swan]

sometimes

[pliant gulch]

No, the message is never a command lol

Please show me when it is a command

[tepid siren]

bruh

[slate swan]

yes it is you we are implementing it right now

[pliant gulch]

🤔

So on_message your message is a Command instance?

[slate swan]

ignore them just listen to me still lol it might not be the best way but it’ll work at the end

[cold sonnet]

you process the message and if it runs, it's a command

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @fallow mauve!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[slate swan]

yes exactly

[tepid siren]

but there isnt a process_command method

[cold sonnet]

but you don't check if it's a command before processing the message

[slate swan]

okay wait what can you send to me please

[pliant gulch]

process_commands already does that for you kek

[fallow mauve]

here's code:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/azicipuben

[slate swan]

without the if/else it runs as command and as message

[slate swan]

this one does exist for sure

[pliant gulch]

Do you realise that process_commands always returns None, it never passes your if statement

[tepid siren]

its yellow

[pliant gulch]

But none the less, still runs as you call it

The if statement is totally useless, None is not truthy

[final iron]

What is going on here

🗿

[slate swan]

i don’t understand make sure you spelled it right and put the message in it

that one for sure exists

[tepid siren]

it is spelled right

[slate swan]

bot.process_commands(message)

let me see your imports rq

[royal meteor]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embed.fields.0.value: This field is required```

[pliant gulch]

You need to use a commands.Bot instance, from the picture you sent earlier you are using discord.Client which has no commands implementation

[tepid siren]

bruh

[slate swan]

okay add these

[fallow mauve]

nvm, i fixed my problem

[slate swan]

no it’s ez fix dw

[tepid siren]

so there is no way to do it?

[pliant gulch]

You just change your client to commands.Bot and construct it with a command prefix

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get

add this too^^

[pliant gulch]

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/04-pong/ take a look at this

[slate swan]

process_commands() is a method of commands.Bot, if you want to use the commands extension then you should use commands.Bot.

[slate swan]

yeah this is ez fix dw

[tepid siren]

then

[slate swan]

yeah add those to the top and resend your code

[pliant gulch]

🤨

[slate swan]

let us see where it’s at

[tepid siren]

its the same

[slate swan]

this is good tutorial to see bot implementation and we’ll help you here too

send again you were supposed to add a bunch of stuff right?

like the new function and imports and stuff

ACTUALLY WAIT SORRY okayyy wait here

[royal meteor]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embed.fields.0.value: This field is required```

[tepid siren]

i think im going to give up

[pliant gulch]

You need to handle the case when command.description is None, you can set a default value using or

[tropic belfry]

Hi, my bot caches all users, so my bot uses 900mo of ram. I can remove the intent guilds however my bot needs it. What can I do to reduce the ram used?

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
a = None
print(a or 1)

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1

[slate swan]

this should be:

else:
(tab)if msg.channel in channelTracker: #if the channel exists as a value in the dict, do this
(tab)(tab)if channelTracker[msg.channel]: #if the value is TRUE, so this:
(tab)(tab)(tab) HERE is where your on_message loop goes

[pliant gulch]

Yea, this works

[slate swan]

you’re good this is the last line

[tepid siren]

ok ok

[slate swan]

we’re right at the finish don’t give up yet

lmk if that runs, send error if it doesn’t and we’ll fix it

we’re gonna get this working rn

[final iron]

camelCase 🗿

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.MemberCacheFlags you could probably use this to set what gets into your cache to limit it's ram usage

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MemberCacheFlags

class discord.MemberCacheFlags(**kwargs)```
Controls the library’s cache policy when it comes to members.

This allows for finer grained control over what members are cached. Note that the bot’s own member is always cached. This class is passed to the `member_cache_flags` parameter in [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

Due to a quirk in how Discord works, in order to ensure proper cleanup of cache resources it is recommended to have [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") enabled. Otherwise the library cannot know when a member leaves a guild and is thus unable to cleanup after itself.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

The default value is all flags enabled.

New in version 1.5.

[pliant gulch]

You pass this to your bot's constructor

[slate swan]

HAHAHA I’M SORRY COMPLIANCE OFFICER my pycharm yells at me all the time too

[final iron]

Then don't use camelCase?

It should never be used in python

[slate swan]

i like camelCase 🥴🥴

[pliant gulch]

🤨

[slate swan]

wait is there an actual reason why?

[final iron]

Yes

[slate swan]

or just pep standards?

[final iron]

Read the reason pep8 exists

Theres your reason

[slate swan]

readability. so there’s no REAL reason for me to listen to the warning?

[final iron]

There 100% is a reason

!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:

[pliant gulch]

Readability is apparently not a valid reason now

[final iron]

If you're not going to follow it, at least don't pass your bad habit on to others

You're being an objectively bad guide/teacher right now

[royal meteor]

It does as expected but a little long as my bot has a few commands and the scroll goes on for a while

Is there a way to fix that

[pliant gulch]

Are you saying that the embed size is not matching with the reactions?

[royal meteor]

It does but the length of the pages is a bit long

[slate swan]

oof. idk how to teach people code in a style idk though 🥴🥴 should i just avoid helping people?

[royal meteor]

Is there a way to make more commands appear on page at once

[pliant gulch]

You can just increase the amount you show in the paginator

[slate swan]

i’m self taught no school or professional training i can sit this one out lol just trying to be helpful

[final iron]

If you're going to teach then bad practices, then I would suggest you avoid it until you get your act together

[royal meteor]

How would I do that

[pliant gulch]

Not sure what your paginator looks like so I cannot say

[slate swan]

thats why pep8 is a thing

[final iron]

Are you the one using a package for the paginator?

[slate swan]

pep8 is a style guide which all developers should follow

[pliant gulch]

Yea, conventions are important

[royal meteor]

disputils and they specify nothing about what I want to do

[pliant gulch]

Imagine you have your finals week, and you have tests all day, but every test is mismatched and there are discrepancies

Pretty frustrating right?

[cold sonnet]

atleast devs who work with other devs

[final iron]

Yeah. You would need to edit the source code

[slate swan]

should always be followed no matter the situation

[royal meteor]

How?

[final iron]

^

[final iron]

By editing the files

[slate swan]

ever heard of the python zen?

[cold sonnet]

I think it's okay to not use it if nobody else even sees it

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters

Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

[final iron]

No

[tropic belfry]

But if I do that, can I still see the number of users?

[final iron]

It should be used 100% of the time

[dull terrace]

i just use blacken tho

[pliant gulch]

Depends on the codebase you are coding for, other codebases have different style guides that it expects it's contributors to use

But PEP8 is the most used convention

[slate swan]

i would argue this too bc like if it’s my code for myself why does it matter if it’s not pep8.
i can understand teaching people proper stuff but my code can be ugly right?

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. not a rule but not practicing it doesnt seem correct

[pliant gulch]

You can see the users that pass your cache flag set

[dull terrace]

eww this guide is wrong

[royal meteor]

No clue

[dull terrace]

tabs all the way

[pliant gulch]

You can't really expect to lower cache size without lowering the amount of data

[cold sonnet]

sure

I've got plenty of years to practice

[final iron]

I would agree that if you're working on a team with their own special conventions you should follow it (but just for that project/team don't make it a habit)

[slate swan]

if its not open source then yes that wouldnt matter but not following it is just making everything harder for you

[cold sonnet]

so lemme do my shit for now

[final iron]

Which part?

4 spaces is completely correct

[royal meteor]

Is there another way to run paginator?

[slate swan]

so genuine question when you’re coding di you look up the guidelines to ensure you’re doing them correctly?

[dull terrace]

if by four spaces you mean 1 tab

[slate swan]

depending on the lib there is examples in there git

like is it an active thing or you just know them at this point

[slate swan]

no you remember them like anybody or get screamed at by pycharm or use black

[final iron]

I have a lot of them memorized but pycharm helps me out sometimes when I don't realize I've done something wrong

[pliant gulch]

Sure, it's good practice but imagine you have a mega codebase with a pre-defined coding style that is not PEP8, you'd be in for a lot of change. This is what some enterprises have. PEP8 Is also not an absolute rule just like any other PEP that doesn't regard core additons/changes. For an example PEP484 (typehints), not everyone uses them

[final iron]

I also use black

[final iron]

No

You should be using 4 spaces

[dull terrace]

why would i hit the spacebar 4 times when i could hit the tab once

[final iron]

Also, you cannot say the guide on the official python website is wrong

[slate swan]

what is black? “black python” is just showing me snakes lol

[cold sonnet]

four spaces is one tab

[final iron]

#black-formatter

[pliant gulch]

Are you using an IDE? If so, it's almost very likely your IDE changes a tab to 4 spaces

[final iron]

Really nice formatting tool

[slate swan]

yes that is so, but knowing the standard style is still important as some companies do follow pep8 to ensure nobody needs to learn another code style or some go by formatters as well

[dull terrace]

yess black is great, i started using it when i learned python and now i pretty much learnt to copy its layout most of the time

[final iron]

Most ide's insert spaces instead of tabs. Either way, you should be doing it because it's correct

[slate swan]

yeah its good knowing its format and fomatting your code and seeing no changes is great as well

[vague grove]

so i have a invite event

@client.event
async def on_invite_create(invite):
    print(invite, invite.guild)

how can I get the invite author? I tried invite.author but to no avail

[final iron]

vsc and pycharm both insert spaces instead of tabs

You'll have to figure out if your text editor/ide does it for you

[dull terrace]

it does, but why would it matter even if it didn't

[pliant gulch]

Because code that uses tabs instead of spaces won't work with each other

[full lily]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Invite.inviter

[pliant gulch]

It's either or

[final iron]

!d discord.Invite.inviter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite.inviter

The user who created the invite.

[dull terrace]

so you find other sane people that use tabs

[pliant gulch]

Perhaps there are some, you can't say 100% that there isn't

But none the less, causes errors because someone isn't following the standard

Another reason why PEP8 exists, for good reason too

[final iron]

If you're not using spaces you're developing bad habits

Developing bad habits is a very bad thing. You don't even realize you're doing it wrong and its very hard to change

[slate swan]

most editors do auto indents so it doesnt really matter

[final iron]

I already mentioned that

[dull terrace]

this

[pliant gulch]

Inb4 switching IDE then commiting code with tabs instead of spaces

[cold sonnet]

imagine if a company asks you to use notepad

[vague grove]

would I add that as an arg to async def on_invite_create(invite, inviter)?

[dull terrace]

im not gonna start whacking the spacebar millions of times if i dont need to

[final iron]

And what happens if you're in a job interview?

[slate swan]

isnt hard as pep8 says each level of indentation is 4 spaces or a tab that is the same as 4 spaces

[final iron]

Companies do reject applicants who don't follow pep8 a lot

[slate swan]

if you dont know pep8s rules why are you in a job interview anyways?

[final iron]

A lot of people know about them, they just don't care

[dull terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsoOG6ZeyUI

[slate swan]

then why are you looking for a job if you cant even right code any developer can understand?

[pliant gulch]

Tab users: It iS OnLy ONe ByTE, Way BeTTER tHAN SPaceS

[full lily]

no. invite.inviter will get you the author

[cold sonnet]

im dumb af

[vague grove]

oh I get it now

[slate swan]

a tab isnt considered 4spaces? so its save as one byte?

[final iron]

Most people don't realize how much of an issue it is
