[quaint epoch]

i can but i can't explain to other 13 year olds in my server to not send messages for 3 seconds

fucking teenagers

anyway i gotta go do art now

[manic wing]

whelp dont turn your bot off

[quaint epoch]

i can't be sidetracked

[quaint epoch]

it's pronounced thirtween

[slate swan]

[coarse anvil]

o

[frozen patio]

alright im trying to make a mod mail bot

and modmail_channel is not defined

[manic wing]

you used double =

[frozen patio]

yeah

am I not supposed to?

[manic wing]

you use single = for defining variables

== for comparisons

[frozen patio]

ahhhhh

[slim ibex]

prolly should learn more Python before getting deeper into the bot

[cold sonnet]

f-strings:

nextcord:

[left crater]

whats wrong with f strings

[cold sonnet]

Jonathan doesn't use them

[modest plover]

@commands.slash_command()
	async def botinfo(self, inter):
		infoEmbed = disnake.Embed(
			title = "Heya!",
			description = "This is a description."
			.add_field(
				name = "Hey!",
				value = "Please work..."
			)
		)
		await inter.response.send_message(embed=infoEmbed)

I get an error with this when the command is run

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'add_field' 

Any idea why?

[cold sonnet]

"This is a description is a string"

'str' object has no attribute 'add_field'

place add_field outside of the embed constructor

outside of the brackets

[modest plover]

It works now! Thanks!

[final iron]

Variable names should be in snake_case, not camelCase

[kind cargo]

[WinError 2] The file can not be found.```
Any1 know this problem?

[modest plover]

Nope.

[final iron]

Yes

[modest plover]

Calling it bot_info makes it break, as in it doesn't load it

[final iron]

Never said anything about function names

[kind cargo]

[WinError 2] The file can not be found.```
Any1 know this problem?
I need som help

[final iron]

Stop spamming

[kind cargo]

Okay sorry...

[modest plover]

Sorry, haven't slept in a day or two, I see what you're on about, why should it be snake and not camel?

[final iron]

Pythons style guide (PEP8) has it listed that variable names should be in snake_case. It's also listed that camelCase should never be used in python

[fair rune]

pep8 isnt mandatory

[final iron]

Never said it is, it's just highly recommended

It's incredibly useful

[fair rune]

ok

[slim ibex]

it wouldn’t exist if they didn’t think it was necessary

[modest plover]

How do I use a custom emoji in an embed from a specific server?

[left crater]

<:emojiname:emoji_id>

[modest plover]

How do I get the id?

[left crater]

right click on the emoji

[fair rune]

it also wouldnt exist if it was meant to be mandatory

[final iron]

Wut

Think about what you just said

[left crater]

this makes me want to die

[modest plover]

I can't, I'm on mobile

[left crater]

...

[modest plover]

🎱 (using this as an example)

[left crater]

idk then

[fair rune]

i did 🤣 its not meant to be mandatory

[left crater]

i dont use mobile

[vale sierra]

hello, i have a new problem that appears and i don't know how to fix it, this is my code : ```python
@tasks.loop(seconds = 5)
async def changeStatus():
game = discord.Game(random.choice(status))
await bot.change_presence(activity = game)

status = ["+help | Dr Maboule#4456", "Hello world"]

[final iron]

I never said it was mandatory

[fair rune]

ok

[fair rune]

you defined status after you used it

[final iron]

Function names should be in snake_case, not camelCase

[left crater]

put status before game

also its outside the function

[vale sierra]

ok its really strange is was never problem with this before

[fair rune]

you are trying to use the list before it even exists i think it would probably be an issue

[kind cargo]

any1 help me?

[fair rune]

Dont ask for help just say it

[kind cargo]

okay

[kind cargo]

await msg.channel.send(file = discord.File(fp=payment.mp4))
[WinError 2] The file can not be found.

[final iron]

Code?

[vale sierra]

@tasks.loop(seconds = 5)
async def changeStatus():
status = ["+help | Dr Maboule#4456", "Hello world"]
    game = discord.Game(random.choice(status))
    await bot.change_presence(activity = game)
``` like this ?

[fair rune]

is this file in the directory?

[kind cargo]

i dont have the file i got it from a friend

[kind cargo]

and it works for him

[kind cargo]

and he does not have it aswell but it works to launch it for him

[fair rune]

br

[kind cargo]

what? "br"

[vale sierra]

@left crater thats dont work

[final iron]

Try asking in #databases

[left crater]

indent it

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.

you dont do @commands.event, you do @commands.Cog.listener

also you need self, message and self, ctx

line 212 be wildin

jeez ive seen everyone copy and paste that crap tictactoe command

its not even good, it uses global

[vale sierra]

someone now why bot don"t want to reply when a command is a embed ?

[scarlet aurora]

you gotta send the embed

embed=embed

await ctx.send(embed=embed)

after u built ur embed

[vale sierra]

i now

[scarlet aurora]

is there an error code?

[vale sierra]

no one its appears right know

[scarlet aurora]

what appears

[vale sierra]

this "bug"

[scarlet aurora]

make sure it's indented

idk

[vale sierra]

yes its

[quaint epoch]

how do i find a members status?

like my status is Why do I hafe tp fix typos?

[frozen patio]

what does the error mean?

[quaint epoch]

what are you trying to do when you assignment empty a value?

because empty is a list, and lists have no attr array

[frozen patio]

thats for the later code

[quaint epoch]

are you trying to set empty to empty = []

[frozen patio]

yes

something like that

[quaint epoch]

just do if len(message.attachments) == 0:

[frozen patio]

what is len?

[quaint epoch]

length of items in an array

[frozen patio]

ah

what about line 8?

how do I fix that one?

[quaint epoch]

delete it

you don't need it, just use len()

[radiant rampart]

Hey joe cena any chance you can help me with my bot here once you’re done helping jonathan55?

[frozen patio]

mine had a minor bug

[quaint epoch]

so, the command is supposed to push a nickname onto a member?

[radiant rampart]

Yeah and it wouldn’t let them change it until they leave voice chat

[frozen patio]

noq

[radiant rampart]

I’ve got everything working, but it won’t force it on them

[frozen patio]

now*

my bot wont send the message I sent

[quaint epoch]

what do you mean?

[frozen patio]

like if I type hi in the bot DM

[quaint epoch]

what did you expect to happen if you type hi

[frozen patio]

it will say [Jonathan55]

but not send the message I sent to it

[vale sierra]

@tasks.loop(seconds = 5)
async def changeStatus():
    game = discord.Game(random.choice(status))
    await bot.change_presence(activity = game)
``` hello, i have this error with this code :

[quaint epoch]

are you getting an error?

[frozen patio]

no

it just wont send the message I sent to it in the modmail channel

[quaint epoch]

instead of using await modmail_channel use await message.author.send

[frozen patio]

cause that is in the ( )

[quaint epoch]

do await message.author.send(f'[{message.author.display_name}]')

[quaint epoch]

did you create a command like @bot.command() async def random(ctx): by any chance?

[vale sierra]

yes

[quaint epoch]

alr then

[vale sierra]

thx man

[frozen patio]

@quaint epoch its broken some more

[quaint epoch]

do py @tasks.loop(seconds = 5) async def changeStatus(): import random game = discord.Game(random.choice(status)) await bot.change_presence(activity = game)

[quaint epoch]

alr send code

did you get an error?

[frozen patio]

nope

just way broke

[quaint epoch]

so what output did you get?

[radiant rampart]

Hey @quaint epoch sorry for bugging you again but I could also really use some help

I’ve been trying to force the nicks for atleast an hour now

[quaint epoch]

alr lemme try and fix your code

@bot.command()
async def nick(ctx, channelid, nickname):
  if str(ctx.author.id) != "422025717602320385":
    return
  channel = await bot.fetch_channel(int(channelid))
  for member in channel.members:
    await member.edit(nick=nickname)```

if it doesn't work change await member.edit(nick=nickname) to await member.edit(nickname=nickname)

[radiant rampart]

The problem when I do this is that it won’t change anyones nicknames because I am in the voice chat

I get missing permissions as an output and it doesn’t change anyones

I tried adding a try and except because of that

[quaint epoch]

what perms did you give your bot?

[radiant rampart]

It has admin too

But I am an admin too

[quaint epoch]

then it can't change your nickname, because you have higher roles/perms

[radiant rampart]

The code I have right now changes everyones nicknames except for admins

Because it has try and except

But it won’t force it on the members

I just need it to repeat the action

so it’s forced

[quaint epoch]

async def nick(ctx, channelid, nickname):
  if str(ctx.author.id) != "422025717602320385":
    return
  channel = await bot.fetch_channel(int(channelid))
  userids = []
  users = channel.members
  for member in channel.members:
    print(member)
    if member.display_name != (nick):
      try: 
        await member.edit(nick=nickname)  
      except:
        continue```

[radiant rampart]

Thank you

[quaint epoch]

did it work?

[radiant rampart]

so Continue makes it go back to if member.display_name?

[radiant rampart]

Haven’t tried, one minute

[quaint epoch]

well i'll be having tutions soon so i may not be able to respond

[radiant rampart]

Nope its the same again

It changes everyones except mines nicknames once, but it doesn’t force it

It’s probably going to work if I put something below “except:” that returns to “if member.display_name”, but I can’t figure out how to do that

[final iron]

Don't do a bare except

[radiant rampart]

bare = nothing under it?

[final iron]

You're spoonfeeding bad code lmao

[final iron]

No,

# Bare exception (bad)
try:
    raise ValueError
except:
    pass

# Catching the specific error (good)
try:
    raise ValueError
except ValueError:
    pass

[radiant rampart]

What do you suggest I put after except?

[final iron]

Check what error it throws and catch it

[radiant rampart]

It doesn't throw any error, it just partially does what I want it to do

There is no error

[final iron]

I have no idea what you're doing. Can you give me a recap?

[quaint epoch]

@bot.command()
async def nick(ctx, channelid, nickname):
  if str(ctx.author.id) != "422025717602320385":
    return
  channel = await bot.fetch_channel(int(channelid))
  userids = []
  users = channel.members
  for member in channel.members:
    print(member)
    if member.display_name != (nick):
      try: 
        await member.edit(nick=nickname)  
      except (discord.Forbidden, discord.HTTPException):
        continue```

would this work

[final iron]

No

And stop spoonfeeding

If you're going to spoonfeed at least give good code

[quaint epoch]

you'd have to remove perms for them to change their nicks

[radiant rampart]

...They have no perms

You mean disable change nicknames on @/everyone

[quaint epoch]

yes

[radiant rampart]

I don't want that though

Users should be able to change nicknames when they aren't connected

[modest lily]

Hello everyone !

[quaint epoch]

then everytime a user a joins you'd have to change perms

[radiant rampart]

Can I just not have "except:" go back to "if member.display_name != (nick):" though?

Thats what I'm aiming for

[quaint epoch]

you'd have to check what error is raised and except that

[radiant rampart]

There is no error though

[quaint epoch]

give your bot higher perms than everyone

[radiant rampart]

Dude

[slate swan]

why convert and int to a str just to compare the int just compare it as is?

[radiant rampart]

The bot is working completely fine I just want it to keep changing the nicknames

Right now its doing it only once

[final iron]

1. Where are the type hints
2. Why are you casting the author's id to a string, just compare the integer values?
3. userids isn't used
4. users isn't used
5. Why are there () around nick (nick isn't even defined)
6. continue is only used in loops
7. Use a decorator to check if you're the owner

[radiant rampart]

I have author id so that only I can use the command

[final iron]

Just use a decorator

[modest lily]

✌️ Hi !!
I need couple suggestions, if you guys can help me. I'm new to coding discord bot, I used multiple prog. languages in the past but now I wanna try Python to make funny Discord bots and rogue-like/labyrinth text-based mini-game for Discord.

I would like to know what should I use as discord.py seems discontinued. I'm trying Hikari+Lightbulb, but lot of people refer to others well-known. Just asking for opinions here. I would like to use !command or /command, and react to arrows in order to move in the labyrinth (all text-based + roll dice and events).

[radiant rampart]

Can someone tell me how I can make except: go back to somewhere else in the code

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_owner

@discord.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that checks if the person invoking this command is the owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner").

This check raises a special exception, [`NotOwner`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NotOwner "discord.ext.commands.NotOwner") that is derived from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[radiant rampart]

Did not work

[final iron]

Show how you did it...?

[radiant rampart]

I don't see why I should change it the one I have right now does literally the same thing

Can you please tell me how I can make it so that except: goes back to another part of the code

[final iron]

Readability + what you have now is werid

[radiant rampart]

Do you know how I can make except: go back to another part of the code?

[native wedge]

what are task loops used for normally ?

[manic wing]

sending stuff to channels on an hourly basis, all sorts of jazz

[radiant rampart]

I've been asking about 1 simple thing that I dont know how to do for 30 minutes and I've gotten literally 0 help

[manic wing]

rip

[final iron]

Then wait longer

[manic wing]

ask smarter people

[final iron]

We're all volunteers

Nobody is obligated to help you

[radiant rampart]

Caeden do you know how I can make it so that once it reaches a part of the code it goes back above to another part?

[manic wing]

#python-discussion , you make functions

[radiant rampart]

alr

[manic wing]

you cant just simulate a cursor hop, but you can create functions with your code in them and call it multiple times

[radiant rampart]

If you honestly think you help people then I’m sorry but you’re just wrong, literally all you’ve done was calling my code bad and telling me to wait longer

[manic wing]

😳

[final iron]

Never called your code bad, called the other persons code bad

And it was

[radiant rampart]

That was literally mine but ok

[final iron]

Here are some suggestions to improve it

[frank tartan]

so I'm trying to start using cogs. But I'm having issues with the event on_command_error

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(ctx,error, cog):
        if isinstance(error,commands.MissingPermissions):
            await ctx.reply("You do not have the required permissions to execute this command.")
        elif isinstance(error,commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.reply("You are missing some arguments.")
        elif isinstance(error,commands.errors.MissingAnyRole):
            await ctx.reply("You are missing the required role to execute this command.")
        elif isinstance(error,commands.errors.MemberNotFound):
            await ctx.reply("Error: Member Not Found")
        else:
            raise error

thats what I have.

Ignoring exception in on_command_error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/runner/captain-test-bot/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 351, in _run_event

  File "/home/runner/captain-test-bot/cogs/events.py", line 39, in on_command_error
    raise error
TypeError: exceptions must derive from BaseException

thats the errror.

I have looked on google, but I'm still confused

[manic wing]

well

because its inside a class you pass self, ctx, error

and on_command_error doesnt take cog

[frank tartan]

even without cog as a argument, i get the same error

[frank tartan]

i get same error with those arguments

[manic wing]

no, it will be fine if you do self, ctx, error

[frank tartan]

i get same error with those arguments

[manic wing]

show your code

[frank tartan]

^^^

[manic wing]

are you sure youre saving it and rerunning your bot? try printing ctx and errr

im not a fan of those unused imports either

[final iron]

Class names should be in PascalCase

[frank tartan]

whats that?

[final iron]

What do you mean?

[frank tartan]

what is PascalCase

[manic wing]

cibere did you fix your problem?

[frank tartan]

nope

[final iron]

How class names should be named

[manic wing]

what happened when you printed ctx and error?

[frank tartan]

can i see an example?

[final iron]

Of just PascalCase?

class ThisIsAVeryLongClassNameWrittenInPascalCase:
    ...

[frank tartan]

uhhh it somehow started to work once i put the print statments in

[frank tartan]

oh camelCase

[final iron]

huh?

[manic wing]

you mean it suddenly started working when you saved and reran the code? …

[frank tartan]

no, i mean it litterly just suddenly started working.

my code auto-saves when i run it

[manic wing]

adding print statements doesnt fix code. all you did was save and rerun it.

[frank tartan]

either way, it works 🙂

[final iron]

camelCase is definitely not PascalCase

Also, camelCase should never be used in python

So tbh I don't know what you're talking about

[manic wing]

!ot

[unkempt canyon]

Off-topic channel: #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[final iron]

All of the examples of camelCase I see are written as camelCase, not CamelCase

[manic wing]

please go to an off topic channel

[slate swan]

thats not camel case lol

[final iron]

Yes it is

[slate swan]

camelCase PascalCase

[final iron]

wut

[slate swan]

more like this

[final iron]

I know the difference between camelCase and PascalCase

[slate swan]

then what are you talking about lol

[final iron]

Reptile said camelCase is written like CamelCase

[slate swan]

lol wrong

[final iron]

CamelCase is not camelCase

That's PascalCase

There are some variations of camelCase written like that but the original camelCase is definitely not CamelCase

[pliant gulch]

In PEP8 they reference camel case as CamelCase

[slate swan]

ig so but idk its confusing

ig camelcase is pascal case lol

[final iron]

As I said above I think it's because of all the variations of it

[slate swan]

ig its both loll

[slim ibex]

🗿

[quaint epoch]

so, my status is Why do I hafe tp fix typos?, how does my bot detect it AND my bio?

better worded, how find member status and bio

[slate swan]

Does anyone know the best website/application to host and code (python) a discord bot on, ( so that no one else can access the code and is online 24/7)

[slim ibex]

Code in a code editor/IDE and host on a VPS

[slate swan]

👍

[slate swan]

Can I host on Raspberry PI?

8GB

or would it be easier to just host on a vps

[slim ibex]

yes

but the size of your bot changes what raspberry pi to host on

I would just do a VPS

[slate swan]

Ok!

[torn sail]

The bio cannot be seen be bots

[dry junco]

im back with a question
how i can put my bots status o online ?

[lethal forge]

Is this the channel to ask for help with discord related bots CODE?

[slim ibex]

run the bot

[torn sail]

Oh wait

[frozen patio]

ok so I made a activity command for my modmail bot but it wont go through, no console errers, and this command works on my other bots

[dry junco]

without any codes ?_? how does that work

[lethal forge]

Also, is it possible to have more than one Webhook link on replit? to send messages?

[slim ibex]

you make code to run the bot

and the bot is online when it’s run with the correct token

[dry junco]

alr im confused but thanks

[frozen patio]

@quaint epoch if you could help it would be great!

[slim ibex]

you probably shouldn’t name your variable client if you are instantiating Bot

[final iron]

Send the entire file and don't name your commands.Bot instance client

!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.

[frozen patio]

makes sense

[frozen patio]

nah that crashed

[final iron]

Yeah you need to refactor every client to bot

[fierce bluff]

?help

[frozen patio]

hmm

ok

[sick birch]

youtube tutorial?

[final iron]

idk

[sick birch]

90%

feels like every youtube tutorial calls commands.Bot client

[frozen patio]

@final iron no that didnt work

[frozen patio]

hmm i refactored all the client to bot

but that didnt work

[cerulean osprey]

Im getting a TypeError: 'set' object is not callable. How would I fix?

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import os
from keep_alive import keep_alive
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="-",
                     help_command=None)
name = "astolfo"

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("We have logged in as {0.user}".format(client))

@client.commands()
async def ban(ctx, user, reason):
    await ban(user=user, reason=reason, delete_message_days=7)

@client.commands()
async def ban(ctx, user : discord.Member, reason=None):
    await ban(user=user, reason=reason, delete_message_days=7)```

[cerulean osprey]

I still get it

[final iron]

Don't spoonfeed

[left crater]

i just took his code and changed one thing\

[final iron]

Please read this tutorial
https://vcokltfre.dev/

I can see so many things that are wrong

[left crater]

say user.ban(reason=reason)

[final iron]

Wont work

[left crater]

why

[final iron]

Wait you type hinted user to a Member object

If you're going to spoonfeed at least don't give bad code

[left crater]

he can do whatever he wants to do

i copied and pasted his code

[final iron]

And you could of at least changed it?

tbh you shouldn't spoonfeed if you don't know what you're doing

[left crater]

he can name things whatever he wants to name

[final iron]

technically they can but it's terrible practice

[left crater]

then he can change it

[sick birch]

Either way please don't spoon feed, we're a community that helps people through their problems in Python, not one where people can say "heres code, heres error, fix please"

[final iron]

But you spoonfed them without explaining so I doubt they know why it's bad and how to change it

[left crater]

i guess

[sick birch]

I'm assuming they already copy pasted it and moved on

Which is unfortunate because now they have bad naming practices

Also why use .format when you can use f-strings

[cerulean osprey]

No actually I looked at it with confusion then tried it then it ended up not even working

[left crater]

thats not me

[cerulean osprey]

The person who coded it was using old code iirc

[sick birch]

That seems very familiar, youtube tutorial?

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah

[sick birch]

Yeah I would suggest you stop watching that

[left crater]

most of them are usually outdated

[sick birch]

They also follow some really bad practices

I've seen one too many use json as a database and it drives me insane

[cerulean osprey]

I stopped watching them and stuck to docs + other resources

[sick birch]

that's awesome

[cerulean osprey]

However, the bases of this bot were based on yt

[final iron]

Try reading this tutorial over

[sick birch]

I think that's alright as long as you're actively fixing and improving it

[modest plover]

Hi, so am I just not able to use f-strings in a Disnake embed?

	@commands.slash_command()
	async def botinfo(self, inter):
		infoEmbed = disnake.Embed(
			title = "bot.user",
			colour = disnake.Colour(0x1abc9c)
			).add_field(
				name = "Bot Stats:",
				value = f"ID: {bot.id}
				\nName: {bot.user}
				\nHighest Role: {bot.highest_role}"
				)
		await inter.response.send_message(embed=infoEmbed)

value = f"ID: {bot.id}
        ^
SyntaxError: unterminated string literal (detected at line 17)

That pointing at the f btw not the :

[final iron]

variable names should be written in snake_case, not camelCase

[cerulean osprey]

Will that help me with the error I have?

[sick birch]

They all need to be on the same line unfortunately

[modest plover]

You've said. I prefer camelcase.

[sick birch]

If you want them to be seperated into multiple lines consider using triple quotes

[final iron]

Using camelCase is wrong 🤷‍♂️

[modest plover]

youre wrong

[modest plover]

I'll try that and see what happens

[final iron]

Possibly

[final iron]

Nope, give pep8 a read over

[sick birch]

you don't want to argue with @final iron over pep8, trust me

[modest plover]

I have, but like idc much for pep8.

It's optional in my eyes.

With the exception of the indents

[cerulean osprey]

Alright, Ill look it over. Thank you

[sick birch]

The indents are not part of pep8, it's a fundamental part of the language

Your problem could be technically considered as an indentation problem

[slate swan]

hey my bot just got over 6.5k servers and i want to implement sharding but autosharding is incredibly slow and it takes my bot ages to load up

[modest plover]

No liek the indents being 4 spaces or something

[slate swan]

can someone help me with making a certain amount of shards

[final iron]

Damn, that's a lot of servers

[final iron]

Spaces over tabs

[slate swan]

it was in more but people are kicking it cuz i cant figure out the issue

[modest plover]

I tried triple quotes, it stopped bugging me about the string literal, then it started saying that bot isn't defined when I run the command.

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

class UltimatumInfo(commands.Cog):
	"""Displays the info for the discord bot."""
	
	def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
		self.bot = bot
	
	@commands.slash_command()
	async def botinfo(self, inter):
		infoEmbed = disnake.Embed(
			title = "bot.user",
			colour = disnake.Colour(0x1abc9c)
			).add_field(
				name = "Bot Stats:",
				value = f"""ID: {bot.id}
				\nName: {bot.user}
				\nHighest Role: {bot.highest_role}"""
				)
		await inter.response.send_message(embed=infoEmbed)

def setup(bot):
	bot.add_cog(UltimatumInfo(bot))
	print(" | Loaded Extension: Bot Info")
	print(" | ")

[final iron]

Spaces over tabs doesn't matter in an ide as it usually just inserts 4 spaces if you press tab

[final iron]

Just wondering but what happens if you don't shard your bot?

[sick birch]

self.bot not bot

[slate swan]

it doesnt start

cuz once u get 2.5k servers u need to shard

[final iron]

Oh

[slate swan]

but i never turned off bot

so i didnt need to shard until i just restarted it now

[modest plover]

Apparently Bot object has no attribute id

[sick birch]

Are you doing self.bot.user.id?

[modest plover]

i- no, that would make sense

I didn't include user lmao

How do I get the bots highest role?

In Disnake

[final iron]

ctx.me returns a discord.Member object for the bot when used in a guild

You can then get the roles of the discord.Member object with

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles: List[Role]```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[final iron]

Take note of this: These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

If you want to read more about ctx.me I'll send the docs

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.me

Union[Member, ClientUser]: Similar to Guild.me except it may return the ClientUser in private message contexts.

[modest plover]

Does ctx.me return an id?

Like what does it give me

[final iron]

.

[modest plover]

So Player1041#3716? Sorry if I sound dumb as fuck

Haven't slept in 2 and a bit days

[final iron]

You know what a discord.Member object is, right?

You can use all the attributes on it

Like id, name, joined_at

All that jaaz

Then you have methods like ban() and kick()

[modest plover]

Ahhh, ok

Oo actually that'll be helpful to me

Thanks.. what do I call you?

[final iron]

tbh anything

Just make sure I know you're talking about me

So ig water_gazes is fine

You can also just call me water or gazes

[modest plover]

Ok, thanks water :)

This instantly fails, why?

	@commands.slash_command()
	async def botinfo(self, inter):
		me = ctx.me
		infoEmbed = disnake.Embed(
			title = "bot.user",
			colour = disnake.Colour(0x1abc9c)
			).add_field(
				name = "Bot Stats:",
				value = f"""ID: {me.id}
				\nName: {me.user}
				\nHighest Role: {me.top_role}"""
				)
		await inter.response.send_message(embed=infoEmbed)

I'd assume from changing all the bot to me as in me = ctx.me

So it should be returning the disnake.Member shit

But it ain't and I imagine it's something to do with ctx

[final iron]

You can just do self.bot.user

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.user

property user: Optional[discord.user.ClientUser]```
Represents the connected client. `None` if not logged in.

[final iron]

ClientUser is essentially a discord.User object with a bit more attributes

Actually nvm

Because you're getting the roles

So you need a member object

Give me a second

[visual island]

me.user, Member object doesn't have user attribute

[final iron]

User object doesn't have a top_role attribute either

[modest plover]

It does in Disnake.

[final iron]

No it doesn't

[final iron]

!d disnake.User

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.User

class disnake.User```
Represents a Discord user.

x == y Checks if two users are equal.

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

hash(x) Return the user’s hash.

str(x) Returns the user’s name with discriminator.

[modest plover]

Wait that's member- wait that's what I'm using with ctx, it returns disnake.Member

[final iron]

That's the member object

[modest plover]

Mhm, and you said:

ctx.me returns a discord.Member object for the bot when used in a guild

[final iron]

Yeah but you don't have access to ctx

You're in a slash command

[modest plover]

How do I get access to ctx then?

[visual island]

ah didn't saw that

[final iron]

Aha

!d disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.me

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction.me

Union[Member, ClientUser]: Similar to Guild.me except it may return the ClientUser in private message contexts.

[final iron]

There ya go

So it would be inter.me

inter.me will return your disnake.Member object for the bot

[modest plover]

FUCK YES

IT WORKED

[final iron]

Nice

[modest plover]

Final thing, how do I make it ping the highest role? The colour looks nice lmao

[final iron]

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

property mention: str```
Returns a string that allows you to mention a role.

[small igloo]

lol

[buoyant olive]

which fork of discord.py is recommended? disnake or pycord?

[small igloo]

d i s n a k e

[modest plover]

I'm using Disnake atm and it's working pretty well from what I'm seeing

[final iron]

disnake. pycord is the least recommended fork

Pycord is shit

[small igloo]

[winter sand]

@graceful oyster

[final iron]

Can't in a slash command

[modest plover]

Isn't it like Hikari (if you're feeling adventurous), Disnake, Nextcord, everything else, pycord?

[final iron]

rin should be first smh

[modest plover]

what's rin?

[final iron]

!pypi rin

[unkempt canyon]

rin v0.1.2

A successor to the Lefi project

[final iron]

It's made by our very own andy

[small igloo]

who is andy

[final iron]

270700034985558017

He's in #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare right now

[small igloo]

oh

[small igloo]

1-10, rate

[final iron]

It was a joke

It's still in heavy development

[small igloo]

🗿 lol ok

[modest plover]

\nHighest Role: {disnake.Role.mention(me.top_role)}

That says it's not callable. I just want to mention the top role lmao

'property' object is not callable

[final iron]

top_role returns a disnake.Role object

So you can use the mention attribute on it

[modest plover]

Ohhhh

[final iron]

Discord.py has tons of object oriented programming

[modest plover]

So me.top_role(mention)?

[livid jacinth]

Hey, does anyone know how i let my discord bot write a message when someone get the status "online"? Im a beginner in python. I try it multiple times but i dont get an error or something.

[modest plover]

So you want it to send a message each time someone comes online?

[livid jacinth]

Yes

[thick sigil]

tf

[livid jacinth]

I tryed it with on_member_update

[modest plover]

I'm tired ok :(

[thick sigil]

it is top_role.mention

[modest plover]

Ah, ok

[quaint epoch]

how do i check if a user is premium?

[modest plover]

Thanks Kai

[quaint epoch]

like subscribed to nitro

[modest plover]

Shit, one sec

[quaint epoch]

!d discord.Member.premium_since

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.premium\_since

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC when the member used their “Nitro boost” on the guild, if available. This could be None.

[quaint epoch]

but it returns None even if the user has ntrio

nitro*

[cloud dawn]

This is just if used their “Nitro boost” on the guild

[quaint epoch]

okay so how about nitro itself?

[cloud dawn]

You can't "check" if someone has nitro, bot's can't do that.

[quaint epoch]

darn

[cloud dawn]

Privacy thing.

[modest plover]

Makes sense why it's a privacy thing but the api people could just make a simple check for if the user in question has nitro on the account using boolean or some shit idk

[cloud dawn]

You can't with bot's you could with user token but that is against ToS

[modest plover]

Yeah..

How do I get the UNIX Timestamp for when a user or a bot joined the server?

That and also their accounts creation date

Else I get this monstrosity of a timestamp using joined_at

[final iron]

It's an attribute

mention is an attribute

[modest plover]

I got that bit working

[sick birch]

member.joined_at.timestamp()

[modest plover]

It's me.top_role.mention

[final iron]

btw, feel free to ping me

I wont see your messages if you don't

[final iron]

Yeah that's your unix timestamp

You wanna use discord timestamp formatting to make it look sexy?

[modest plover]

Shit, I meant like this lmao

[final iron]

Yup

[modest plover]

Yes, yes exactly that, I want to format it to make it look readable

[final iron]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-timestamp-styles

Here are your options for the styles

Tell me which one you want

[modest plover]

D

20th April 2021 (long date)

[final iron]

So you would do

<t:123123123:D>
<t:123123123:D>

123123123 is your unix timestamp

tbh I might just spoonfeed you this as it's quite hard to explain and a lot of people don't get it

[cloud dawn]

<t:1646095684:R> :3

[modest plover]

I think I got it, ima test it rq

Nope, didn't get it

I made an attempt at least lmao

[final iron]

You need to remove the decimals

You can use round() to do that

!e

print(round(123123.834))

[unkempt canyon]

@final iron :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

123124

[slim ibex]

<t:20182747:D>

[cloud dawn]

You also can't have timestamps inside of embeds.

Believe me i tried.

[final iron]

You can't?

[livid jacinth]

Hey, does anyone know how i let my discord bot send a message when someone comes online? Im a beginner in python. I try it multiple times but it doesnt work and i dont get an error or something. I used the bot event async def on_member_update but all my trys to get the status doesnt work.

[modest plover]

Oh yeah?

[cloud dawn]

Nope, same as you can't mention anything in an embed.

Did they update that :3

[final iron]

Yeah I was 100% you could use timestamps inside of embeds

[final iron]

🤷‍♂️

[modest plover]

If my eyes aren't decieving me, it seems almost like it's a timestamp and a mention inside an embed

[cloud dawn]

Ohh no you can't have timestamps inside the embed footer

That was annoying

[final iron]

It's the same as title

You can't use markdown there

[cloud dawn]

Yeah creb

[modest plover]

Ah, yeah I can see where that's annoying

[cloud dawn]

The timestamp format inside the footer was an ingenious idea pre-ruined by Discord

[modest plover]

For my footers, I'm just slapping my name and if possible a small McDonald's gecko (my pfp) in the corner with it

Yk, be simple with it. No need for a timestamp when there's a perfectly fine time and date next to the users name

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but with the time format it says how many hours, days, or months ago now i need to use my brain

[modest plover]

Fair enough

[final iron]

Theres a timestamp kwarg in the embed constructor

[modest plover]

there's a what in the where now

[final iron]

timestamp kwarg

[modest plover]

!d discord.Embed

[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.

[cloud dawn]

What does it do docs explain 0 shite

[modest plover]

Timestamps probs

[final iron]

It's like a less fancy timestamp

[cloud dawn]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[final iron]

It's this

[modest plover]

Is there not a way to make the timestamps work in the footer?

[cloud dawn]

If you can dm me

[modest plover]

What?

[cloud dawn]

If you can get the timestamp to work inside the footer, what we were talking about. Inside the Embed, then please direct message or ping me and tell me what you did. Thanks for reading.

[modest plover]

Oh-

I thought you meant that if I can DM you, I can do it 🧍‍♂️

[slim ibex]

you can use utcnow in footers

[cloud dawn]

We're not talking about alternatives here.

[final iron]

Not the <t:132132123:D> timestamp

[modest plover]

I'm gonna try and get it to work lnao

[slim ibex]

k

[modest plover]

How do I make a footer 🧍‍♂️

[cloud dawn]

🤦‍♂️

[slim ibex]

oh no

!d discord.Embed.set_footer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_footer

set_footer(*, text=Embed.Empty, icon_url=Embed.Empty)```
Sets the footer for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[coarse anvil]

hmmm

https://tenor.com/view/confused-cat-me-looking-for-who-asked-looking-for-who-asked-this-guy-gif-24329285

[slim ibex]

where do you instantiate the bot

[coarse anvil]

instantiate??

[slim ibex]

pass_context is also legacy

[slim ibex]

the variable

bot = commands.Bot(…) - something like that

[cloud dawn]

He means initialize.

[coarse anvil]

ohh

[cloud dawn]

That's called defining a class.

[coarse anvil]

this??

im confused

[sick birch]

you define a class like so:

class SomeClass:
  ...

[slim ibex]

ahh there,

[sick birch]

You instantiate/initialise a class by doing SomeClass()

[final iron]

It's making an instance of the Bot class

[slim ibex]

@client.command in your case. But you shouldn’t name it client if you are making an instance of commands.Bot

[cloud dawn]

Now you would just be calling it.

[sick birch]

You don't really "call" a class in the way you do a function

I guess you could say you "call" the __init__

[cloud dawn]

__call__ is going to participate in this conversation.

[sick birch]

I suppose but I think instantiation/initialisation makes more sense for terminology

[cloud dawn]

No the init get initialized.

__init__ got called in __new__

[slim ibex]

only if it returned a class

[sick birch]

True yeah

I do see why you might say you "call" a class

[cloud dawn]

Converting all class methods to functions just to confuse the people who steal my code.

Dot?

[final iron]

They're bumping the message

[sick birch]

Isn't there a has_permissions() check or am i crazy

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[final iron]

It exists

[cloud dawn]

I can still see it

[sick birch]

thanks

[slim ibex]

you can handle that in on_command_error with MissingRequiredPermissions or with a try except block in the command body

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.on\_command\_error

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

The default command error handler provided by the bot.

By default this prints to [`sys.stderr`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stderr "(in Python v3.9)") however it could be overridden to have a different implementation.

This only fires if you do not specify any listeners for command error.

[sick birch]

at least i'm not crazy 😄

[slate swan]

fast and easy question how do i make it so after a person executes a command the message get's deleted

i forgot btw ^

[coarse anvil]

thanks man it worked

[slim ibex]

and you would need the @has_permissions() decorator to specify who can even execute the command without errors in the first place

[cloud dawn]

ctx.message.delete() deletes the authors message.

[final iron]

Which message? The one they sent of the one the bot sent

[slim ibex]

👍

[slate swan]

the one i send to execute the cmd

[cloud dawn]

#discord-bots message

Do remember that it is a coro.

[slate swan]

quick question again how do i make it so when i startup bot it prints something

[sick birch]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
  print("Ready!")

[slate swan]

ty

how would i make it so after a certain amount of time my button get's disabled using discord.py

[coarse anvil]

…i recommend learning python before making a bot!

[azure depot]

what command use to get user avatar?

Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.avatar "discord.User.avatar")

[azure depot]

ty

[final iron]

This returns an asset object

[final iron]

Which you would use the url attribute on to get the avatar url

!d discord.Asset.url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.url

property url: str```
Returns the underlying URL of the asset.

[azure depot]

oh tysm

[final iron]

This is only for 2.0 though. If you're using anything earlier you would just use discord.Member.avatar_url

[coarse anvil]

woah very smart man

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-cat-surprised-gif-5843462

[final iron]

It's just memorization and me knowing how to read docs

I also understand the dpy docs quite well

[coarse anvil]

wow

[sick birch]

Just to elaborate but I wouldn't sit there for hours memorizing every little thing

I've been doing discord bots for a while and I'm willing to bet many of the volunteers here also have, it's something that comes with practice

[slim ibex]

memorizing syntax is probably the worst thing you could do, even though you should know how a language is written

programming is all about the concepts and problem solving

[sick birch]

memorizing every function and class will do you no good

[final iron]

Learning the commonly used and incredibly useful functions will help a lot though

Just don't try to memorize everything

[slim ibex]

^

[final iron]

And never be ashamed to google your question/error or come to this server for help

[slim ibex]

^^^^^

i google a lot of stuff

[final iron]

Same

Everyone does

It's just simply impossible to memorize everything

[slim ibex]

mhmm

[river siren]

hello... just wondering if anyone had a nice matplotlib theme for discord?

[sick birch]

Huh?

[fading harness]

?

[final iron]

That breaks Discord tos as using themes count's as modding the client

[river siren]

wait, styling a image to discord colors, violates ToS?

[final iron]

I thought you meant the better discord themes

Anyway, that's off-topic for this channel

[river siren]

ahh, got it

[cloud dawn]

Wdym like statistics?

[slate swan]

we confused it with changing the theme of your discord client

[river siren]

i'm creating a figure in matplotlib, just figured you'd be the guys to have made a style for it

so embed seemed more seemless

thanks tho!

[coarse anvil]

bruh.. i was just trying to make a serverinfo command

[supple thorn]

missed a )

[coarse anvil]

OML IM SO DUMB TY

[supple thorn]

[cloud dawn]

How are you defining the role?

[final iron]

role is None

[storm verge]

someone fix it for me since i bought it from a kid and forgot his discor d

[sick birch]

We don't do that here sorry

We don't fix your code but rather help and walk you through fixing it

You don't learn anything by having someone fix it for you

[storm verge]

how i fix then

[sick birch]

Show us the code

And we'll take a look

[slate swan]

copy-paste the code here and we'll see it

[storm verge]

dosent let me

[slate swan]

!paste

[storm verge]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/piyamafoxa

[daring olive]

you probably need to remove the server invite

or that :)

[storm verge]

just do that

[final iron]

pep8

Also string concatenation

I hope you didn't pay this person a lot of money

[torn sail]

if not self.bot.ready in on_ready!?

[slate swan]

from disnake.embeds import Embed
```🗿

[slim ibex]

🗿

[slate swan]

@storm verge how much you paid this guy for this work

[final iron]

🗿

[slate swan]

pretty bad code lol

[silent portal]

Hi! When I type the command python --version i get the Python 3.7.3 version. When doing python3.9 --version
When I try to install discord.py 2.0 using pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py it gives me this error:

ERROR: Package 'discord-py' requires a different Python: 3.7.3 not in '>=3.8.0'

Allthough I have python 3.9.10 installed? How can I fix this?

Using Linux Root btw

[slate swan]

Hi! When I type the command python --version i get the Python 3.7.3 version. When doing python3.9 --version
cut short here bud

[final iron]

You need to be using a venv but that's not on topic for this channel

#python-discussion or #❓｜how-to-get-help

[storm verge]

like 5 dollars

[buoyant quail]

you mean

    if commands.has_permissions(ban_members=False):
        await member.ban(reason=reason)
        await ctx.send('You do not have the permission "Kick members" to run this command.')

?

[storm verge]

5 dollars

someone help me with my discord bot

[buoyant quail]

@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True) means that command won't run if they don't have permissions

you need to make error handler

after command add

@ban.error
async def e(ctx, error):
   if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send('You do not have the permission "Kick members" to run this command.')

[maiden fable]

Imagine getting a ghost ping from here ;-;

[buoyant quail]

delete that and place ban.error outside the func

[buoyant quail]

why you want to ban member even if command author hasn't permissions?

[patent surge]

with open(profile, "w") as g:
        json.dump(profiles, g, indent=4)

Why this is not updating my profile file

[buoyant quail]

what is profile?
are there errors?

[patent surge]

No error

Profile is my file path

[buoyant quail]

hm

[buoyant quail]

are you sure that that line executes?

mbe there are statements that block it

[patent surge]

It executes but does not update the file

[buoyant quail]

it works idk

import json
profile = "profiles.json"
profiles = {"123": "41", 532: 5234}
with open(profile, "w") as g:
    json.dump(profiles, g, indent=4)

[cerulean osprey]

Is there a way to make sure that remove_roles() worked? Like I would like to make it so that if it doesnt remove the role, it doesnt do anything, but if it does, it sends an embed

[maiden fable]

You can check for the role in member.roles again

Or just check for an error

[cerulean osprey]

What error would that be?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.HTTPException iirc, but might as well check with the docs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.HTTPException

exception discord.HTTPException(response, message)```
Exception that’s raised when an HTTP request operation fails.

[buoyant quail]

commands.MissingPermissions

replace MissingPermissions with that

i am not sure that error can take extra args

but try it

[buoyant quail]

i think it will work only without ban

if you want ban you need to make check inside ban command

but I still can't understand why you want that people without permissions could ban

with that you can just don't check permissions

what for is this line await member.ban(reason=reason) when user doesn't have permissions?

@ban.error
async def e(ctx, error):
   if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send('You do not have the permission "Kick members" to run this command.')
``` just put that

without extra args or something

[gusty ingot]

I forgot how to fix

when i try to run n debug of

import discord``` it shows me "Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError" "No module named 'discord'" I forgot how to fix this

[buoyant quail]

pip install discord

in terminal

[alpine light]

Hi

[slate swan]

the name of the file nuclearbomb gives me nuke vibes

[gusty ingot]

[maiden fable]

U do know it's a bot right

[maiden fable]

PoV: It's a command to nuke a server

[slate swan]

its time I make one too and host it on replit

[maiden fable]

Well

[slate swan]

thanks a lott

[tacit storm]

which is against tos

which we do not help with

[slate swan]

you need to check which instance belongs to which class

How would I do that?

!d isinstance

[unkempt canyon]

isinstance

isinstance(object, classinfo)```
Return `True` if the *object* argument is an instance of the *classinfo* argument, or of a (direct, indirect, or [virtual](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-abstract-base-class)) subclass thereof. If *object* is not an object of the given type, the function always returns `False`. If *classinfo* is a tuple of type objects (or recursively, other such tuples) or a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union) of multiple types, return `True` if *object* is an instance of any of the types. If *classinfo* is not a type or tuple of types and such tuples, a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") exception is raised.

Changed in version 3.10: *classinfo* can be a [Union Type](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#types-union).

Similar names: 2to3fixer.isinstance

[slate swan]

wont this work tho?

[visual island]

you won't know the exact type of the parameter

[slate swan]

it will but you need to work with them, different objects have different methods and properties

Oh right gotcha

thanks

[slate swan]

if isinstance(query, discord.User):
        if query.is_on_mobile(): print("yes")``` an example and no probs ![hattip](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/676419662493253632.webp?size=128 "hattip")

is_on_mobile() what is that?

Oh status right?

[slate swan]

checks if a user is on mobile, just an example though

understood, thanks. really helped

[maiden fable]

I was jk, idk what's it for

[jolly karma]

hello

[maiden fable]

Hi

[jolly karma]

i need some help

[maiden fable]

Sure

[jolly karma]

i wanna know when does a bot gets rate limited?

[maiden fable]

-> Making API Calls repeatedly
-> Using replit
-> Using the same IP for hosting multiple bots

[jolly karma]

what if i use heroku?

[maiden fable]

Most probably won't get ratelimited

[jolly karma]

hmm

and what if i use a vpn

for hosting

[maiden fable]

U mean VPS?

[jolly karma]

no like useing a vpn to change the ip to host

[maiden fable]

Hmm, never tried it tbh, but why use a VPN if u r hosting on yr own machine

[jolly karma]

how can i avoid getting rate limited

[jolly karma]

i host on repl.it or heroku

[maiden fable]

The context is generated in one of the functions, like send_bot_help and so on

[maiden fable]

If u r comparing the two, I would prefer heroku

[boreal ravine]

so i can't use it elsewhere? only in those methods?

[jolly karma]

hmm ty (:

[maiden fable]

Yes.

[jolly karma]

also

[maiden fable]

All the send methods like send_bot_help, send_group_help and so on

[boreal ravine]

thanks

[jolly karma]

what are some of the best database storage service? for free(am broke lol)

[slate swan]

sqlite uses a file in your pc which is free

[jolly karma]

but my pc is not always on

[maiden fable]

Not yr PC, but yr VPS*

[jolly karma]

is firebase good?

[slate swan]

wut

then if you have a vps you can use pg to host the server on the same vps

[jolly karma]

intresting

[maiden fable]

Yea, but is hella tough for a newbie (just saying)

[slate swan]

[jolly karma]

am a newbie lol never use firebase

[boreal ravine]

https://mongodb.com/ if you can't find anything else to use

[rancid escarp]

Once i purge the messages from a channel using my bot the channel appears as unread for my guildmates. Is there anyway i can mark them as read after purge?

[boreal ravine]

not really

you can't edit things on other peoples' screens

[rancid escarp]

any other alternatives?

I was told by someone who wrote his bot using js uses clone functionality and can achieve this

[void elm]

This is beginner but how do I fix this error?

[boreal ravine]

import main from Help

[boreal ravine]

I have no idea

[void elm]

now i have this error

this is help.py

[boreal ravine]

the message was to tell you what to do, why did you copy it

[void elm]

ohhhh

[boreal ravine]

and thats not how you import stuff ```py
from Help import main # correct

import main from Help # wrong

[maiden fable]

You were a JS dev before?

[void elm]

not JS but i have worked in projects in java and cpp

[void elm]

oh and thx

[sick birch]

well to be technical that syntax is only valid in ES6 modules and not CommonJS files

And honestly I haven't worked with import from all that much

[maiden fable]

Don't start it. I tried understanding all that, only to see myself coding in Python the next day 😶

[sick birch]

yeah i feel you haha

[void elm]

so after importing i keep running into this

[boreal ravine]

channel is None meaning the channel isn't in the bots cache so you have to fetch the channel using client.fetch_channel()

[void elm]

that makes sense thx

[maiden fable]

@void elm just add this statement at the top

await self.bot.wait_until_ready() 

If it still doesn't work, then the ID is wrong

[void elm]

which file Help.py or main.py

[maiden fable]

Show the help.py file contents

[maiden fable]

wait what the

why u making another client instance

[void elm]

i did not know how to import:
from Main import client

this is new help.py file

[maiden fable]

okay, so instead of client.get_channel just do channel = await client.fetch_channel

[slate swan]

how do i get a list, or an iterable of the messages sent by a specific member in a specific guild channel

i'm using disnake

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.TextChannel.history perhaps

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

yes but that returns for all members

i kinda hoped it would take a check but

[sick birch]

No, that returns the messages in a channel

[void elm]

how do i fix this

[slate swan]

that's what i mean

[sick birch]

You need to loop through or filter it

[vocal snow]

just if statement

[boreal ravine]

check for the message author then?

[slate swan]

i mean i guess i could

[maiden fable]

@sick birch mind helping him 🥺

[sick birch]

oh come on

[sick birch]

first of all get your files named properly, they should be snake_case

[boreal ravine]

should they use relative imports?

[sick birch]

Also make sure you know where each import leads to, in vscode you can CTRL + Click it

[void elm]

all lowercase names?

[sick birch]

snake_cased

this_is_a_really_long_file_name.py

but if it's just one word you can just leave it lowercase

[void elm]

ok will convert

[sick birch]

you could spend 2 minutes making a script that would rename it all to be lowercase instead of taking the 30 seconds to do it manually 😎

[maiden fable]

LMAO

[jolly basalt]

role.members returns this list

[<Member id=813058518625157180 name='Lonely' discriminator='2334' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=876740265824616458 name='Gud Meme' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=13>>, <Member id=927806904175042560 name='karen_the_guy' discriminator='1882' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=876740265824616458 name='Gud Meme' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=13>>

how do i get just the names

[vocal snow]

from os import listdir, rename
root = '.'
for f in listdir(root):
    rename(f"{root}/{f}", f"{root}/{f.lower()}")

[void elm]

that is something i would do if i wanted to

but done

[sick birch]

map() it

map(lambda m: m.name, guild.members)

[jolly basalt]

can you kinda send an example

okie

[sick birch]

now make sure you don't have circular imports

i.e main.py imports help.py, but help.py also imports main.py

[slate swan]

what i'm looking to do is to check each single message from a user for a specific word

doing it using if-statements is just too slow

[void elm]

how would i call help.py without importing it

[void elm]

for x in message:
?

[jolly basalt]

one more question, is there something like saves all modifications and restarts the bot

[slate swan]

uh that's not what i need

[jolly basalt]

something like debug mode in flask

[slate swan]

i have an iterable with the history of a channel

[void elm]

ok sorry

[maiden fable]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

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

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

[slate swan]

i need to grab only messages by a specific user, but just doing
if user == x is too slow

[jolly basalt]

ohk

[void elm]

^?

[maiden fable]

You cannot

[void elm]

i know

[desert heart]

I don't think there is any faster way. Discord's API doesn't provide any filters for users regarding message history, so you have to resort to getting a bunch of messages and linearly checking each one's author.

[void elm]

interferes with

[slate swan]

[void elm]

how do i fix this

[sick birch]

Instead of importing it, why not pass it in as a parameter?

async def main_help(bot: commands.Bot):
  ...

Then in main.py:

# something before
await main_help(bot)
# something after

Though if you're making a help command you should refer to this <#discord-bots message>

[slow fog]

tbh for me this is better than using cogs and more simple

[void elm]

i have to log off for a little bit thanks for the help everyone

[slate swan]

circular imports dont work anyways

[alpine furnace]

Unless you scope them

[slow fog]

found you again

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[slate swan]

I'm everywhere

sus

[slate swan]

uwu

[maiden fable]

I'mma just go from here

im bored

[maiden fable]

Go to #python-discussion or help people in help channels

Bro you just said 2 days ago that this is cringe

[slow fog]

lol

[alpine furnace]

Before nitro

[maiden fable]

She do be weird and contradictory

[alpine furnace]

Ongg

[slow fog]

see how nitro are killing people ||jk jk ||

why channel dry 🙁

[maiden fable]

Lemme ask a question
