[slate swan]

lol

[vocal plover]

I coded last night while totally drunk and while I don't understand the code I wrote at all it works twice as well as the code it replaces and is fewer lines

[maiden fable]

LMAOOOO

[slate swan]

motivational 😔

[vocal plover]

oh yeah side note, don't try to explain TCP/IP to your drunk friends while you are also drunk

[slate swan]

we have kids here

[maiden fable]

Pov: I don't have friends/People around me ain't as nerdy as me

[vocal plover]

your point...?

[slate swan]

nvm

[slate swan]

at least you have friends

[maiden fable]

Says who 👀

[vocal plover]

the mutual friends tab on discord

[slate swan]

your preference

[maiden fable]

😔

[slate swan]

welp

[vocal plover]

pretty much whatever except vim because vim will just confuse you

[slate swan]

Vim uwu though 😔

[maiden fable]

No

Stop with the uwu and take the editor chat to #editors-ides thanks

[vocal plover]

uwu

now you can run the pip command again

and hopefully it should work

Hmmm, this may help https://www.answerlookup.com/how-add-git-windows-path-environment-variable

[maiden fable]

😔 Adding to PATH sucks

[vocal plover]

if it doesn't I'm not sure, I have git installed by default on my distro and I dont use windows

[maiden fable]

ajb, stop using linux and go to a doctor

[vocal plover]

but without linux how will I have such pretty terminals and not have to deal with windows bs

[maiden fable]

Use Mac!

[vocal plover]

I'll be dead before I willingly overpay apple for a computer

the 75% profit margin I'd be paying apple is much better spent on servers

[maiden fable]

😔 use ChromeOS

[vocal plover]

well that also has a disadvantage

• you're using chromeos

[slate swan]

chromeOs uses linux kernel..

[proper acorn]

pls help me, i cant do 2+ word from file forbidden

um wait

@slate swan

[maiden fable]

You gonna buy all of us a Mac, right? 👀

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

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

[hazy oxide]

How to enable nextcord slash command perm?

I use @commands.has_permissions but it didn't work on slash command

[dense swallow]

for me it triggers sometimes...

[slate swan]

how do you know that it's getting triggered without a message being edited
Some kind of ID check ?

[dense swallow]

idk the bot sends msg as edited in logs channel

I can send the code for it

[slate swan]

Does it send the message which were not edited too?

[hazy oxide]

Can someone help?

[dense swallow]

https://github.com/DTS-11/PizzaHat/blob/main/PizzaHat/cogs_hidden/events.py#L45

[unkempt canyon]

PizzaHat/cogs_hidden/events.py line 45

async def on_message_edit(self, before, after):```

[slate swan]

Wdym by enable slash command perm? Adding checks etc?

[hazy oxide]

Checking perms

Required perms to run the command

[dense swallow]

yes sometimes

not always

[slate swan]

That triggers even when attachments/embeds are removed from the message

[maiden fable]

discord.gg/dpy thanks

[slate swan]

So maybe check that

[maiden fable]

Oh wait, u r Yerl

😔

What

Lol

[slate swan]

why would it not

[maiden fable]

Vanity

discord.gg/Python

[slate swan]

nope

[dense swallow]

so what should I do... I'm working on check to ignore bots

other than that what else?

[slate swan]

you are trying to log only edited content right?@dense swallow

[dense swallow]

yup

[spice basalt]

how do i install a pip?

[dense swallow]

with python, add it as path

[slate swan]

you can just return it after.content == before.content

[slate swan]

Windows?

[dense swallow]

so if after.content == before.content: return?

[slate swan]

Yea that would do the job

[spice basalt]

yes

[dense swallow]

oh alright thanks

[slate swan]

tick on "add to path" while installing python

[dense swallow]

it's on the bottom of the installer

[slate swan]

Or add python to your system environment variable manually

[dense swallow]

2 boxes I think

[dense swallow]

u have to reinstall it

[spice basalt]

[spice basalt]

i can't find it

[slate swan]

It's changed in 3.10 maybe

Well the pip option which I s ticked

[spice basalt]

so how do i install a pip

[slate swan]

python will install pip now, click on next and continue with your install

[spice basalt]

yes

[drowsy thunder]

What to fix

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[drowsy thunder]

Even if I unindent it,it doesnt work

[drowsy thunder]

Dude use it in shell

@spice basalt also dont use discord components

[spice basalt]

how

[drowsy thunder]

Use Nextcord or dpy(personally I prefer dpy)

[drowsy thunder]

Give me link in dms,I will do it for your

*you

@spice basalt

[spice basalt]

you already reply pinged me

[drowsy thunder]

Ok dude

[tawdry bobcat]

[tawdry bobcat]

@drowsy thunder

[maiden fable]

Not remove_command(name=name)

[tawdry bobcat]

ok

[tawdry bobcat]

bruh

i am unable to create a custom help command

@maiden fable

[pliant gulch]

"Not remove_command(name=name)"

[tawdry bobcat]

what to edit in this code

@pliant gulch

[pliant gulch]

Read what hunter said

You could also just passhelp_command=None to your bot's constructor

[vocal plover]

remove_command is not your bot's constructor

[pliant gulch]

remove_command vs. help_command=None in your bot constructor is pretty much a micro optimisation although

[tawdry bobcat]

sir i m new to discord py

[vocal plover]

discord.py doesn't have anything to do with python classes being created

[pliant gulch]

Actually not sure, cause remove_command will have to handle aliases and what not

It's still better to just pass help_command as None

[tawdry bobcat]

same error with this code

[pliant gulch]

Again not your bot's constructor

[slate swan]

That should be inside the constructor

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
class Foo:
def init(self, arg: str) -> None:
self.arg = arg

Foo("bar") # constructor!

[unkempt canyon]

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

[tawdry bobcat]

umm

ok

[drowsy thunder]

Yes?

[tawdry bobcat]

can u help me to fix this

[drowsy thunder]

Guys,how to check if a message has walls of text and repeated text?

[drowsy thunder]

May I have a look by gettong the repl link in dms?

[tawdry bobcat]

okh wait

[drowsy thunder]

@vocal plover can ya tell how to check walls of text and repeated text?

[narrow grail]

how to disconnect an bot from a voice channel?

await voice_bot.disconnect() doesn't work

voice_bot = voice_bot_in(server)

server = message.server

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.move_to

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.move\_to

await move_to(channel, *, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Moves a member to a new voice channel (they must be connected first).

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

Changed in version 1.1: Can now pass `None` to kick a member from voice.

[slate swan]

Acess bots member using guild.me and use move_to

[narrow grail]

but I want fully disconnect the bot

[slate swan]

read the last line in the embed?

[narrow grail]

invalid syntax

[slate swan]

show code

[narrow grail]

    await move_to(channel, VoiceChannel, reason=None)```

btw new error: move_to is not definied

[azure scroll]

how to send messages such that they are only visible to the author

[slate swan]

client.remove_command(“help”)

[hushed galleon]

those are called ephemeral messages, and they're only possible as responses to interactions like slash commands or message components (buttons)

[tawdry bobcat]

leeme try

[narrow grail]

and what ya meant with guild.me?

[drowsy thunder]

Guys

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.me

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.me

property me```
Similar to [`Client.user`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.user "discord.Client.user") except an instance of [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member"). This is essentially used to get the member version of yourself.

[drowsy thunder]

Sparky is a raider

He tried to delete my bot code

[azure scroll]

ok thx

[drowsy thunder]

He is reported to python modmail

[narrow grail]

so how the code looks like?

example pls

[slate swan]

message/context.guild.me

[narrow grail]

thanks and can you also send a full example to the disconnect code? I don't get it

[cosmic agate]

InvalidArgument: activity must derive from BaseActivity.

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def status(ctx, *, arg=None):
    if arg == None:
        await ctx.reply("Where status?")
        return
    await bot.change_presence(status=nextcord.Status.do_not_disturb, activity=arg)

[drowsy thunder]

How to make the bot add reaction to the response

[cosmic agate]

??

[drowsy thunder]

@slate swan

[hushed galleon]

you need to pass an Activity subclass to the function, e.g. discord.Game or discord.Streaming

[cosmic agate]

if u are using embed do

embed.add_reaction("🚓")

[cosmic agate]

??

[drowsy thunder]

Not embed and,its in Nextcord

[hushed galleon]

those activities have a name parameter that you can write your message in

e.g. ```py
activity = discord.Game('with chocolate')

Shows up as: Playing with chocolate```

[drowsy thunder]

Its not like that

[cosmic agate]

then ig

ctx.add_reaction("🚍")

[cosmic agate]

nnonono

[cosmic agate]

yeah spmething like that

[drowsy thunder]

I am using msg

[cosmic agate]

show code

[hushed galleon]

wdym its not like that, thats exactly what the change_presence() method expects as an argument

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.change_presence

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.change\_presence

await change_presence(*, activity=None, status=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Changes the client’s presence.

Example

```py
game = discord.Game("with the API")
await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=game)
```   Changed in version 2.0: Removed the `afk` keyword-only parameter...

[slate swan]

needs to be a discord.Game/ discord.Activity

[cosmic agate]

like this shouldwont help though

[cosmic agate]

there is

[cosmic agate]

this

[slate swan]

Where?

[hushed galleon]

arg is a string

[slate swan]

It's a str

[hushed galleon]

you cant literally pass arg as the activity, it needs to be wrapped in an activity class first

[cosmic agate]

hmm

[hushed galleon]

even this has an example of how to use it

[cosmic agate]

i dont understand anything

[slate swan]

learn argument and annotations then

[cosmic agate]

XD

[slate swan]

The activity accepts a discord.Activity

[cosmic agate]

hmm n

[lyric tusk]

if a member has not send a message or reacted to a reaction in x days he wil be given a role. how can i make that?

[cosmic agate]

would this work ?

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def status(ctx, *, arg=None):
    if arg == None:
        await ctx.reply("Where status?")
        return
    await bot.change_presence(status=nextcord.Status.do_not_disturb, activity=nextcord.Activity(f"{arg}"))
```????

imma test

[hushed galleon]

why the f-string?

[cosmic agate]

for arg?

[hushed galleon]

yeah, its already a string

[cosmic agate]

oh ok

[hushed galleon]

also you havent given the activity any type you want it to be

[cosmic agate]

??

[hushed galleon]

is it playing? competing? streaming?

[cosmic agate]

oh ok

[hushed galleon]

e.g. py discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name='over you')

[lyric tusk]

?

[brittle flume]

What is the use of discord.Widget? I mean what is a widget?

[vocal plover]

something like this embedded on a website

[cosmic agate]

will this work?

@bot.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def status(ctx, *, arg=None):
    if arg == None:
        await ctx.reply("Where status?")
        return
    await bot.change_presence(status=nextcord.Status.do_not_disturb, activity=nextcord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name= arg))

[hushed galleon]

if you fix the use of discord sure

[brittle flume]

Thanks 😊

[viscid relic]

What is that?

[vale wing]

Command "userinfo" is not found

[viscid relic]

Code:
@client.command
async def userinfo(ctx, user: discord.Member=None):
embed = discord.Embed(title="User information")
embed.set_thumbnail(url= user.avatar_url)
embed.set_footer(text="Requested by {ctx.author}",icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
embed.add_field(name="Nickname:",value=user.display_name,inline=False)
embed.add_field(name="Id:",value=user.id,inline=False)
embed.add_field(name="Owner",value=user.is_owner,inline=False)
embed.add_field(name="Joined to server at:",value=user.joined_at,inline=False)
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[vale wing]

Obvious

[vale wing]

@client.command must have brackets

Also how do you define client

And yeah

!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.

[viscid relic]

Really?

Ok i test this

[viscid relic]

Thank you

[vale wing]

client = Thank you nice

[viscid relic]

Why {ctx.author} not work?

[brittle flume]

How to check if the author is a bot or not?

[vale wing]

@viscid relic what is your python knowledge level

[vale wing]

!d discord.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.bot

Specifies if the user is a bot account.

[viscid relic]

Beginner

Thank you

[rugged marsh]

ouch, you shouldn't start python using discord.py

[vale wing]

You should learn a bit more before getting to making discord bots

At least learn the basics of OOP

[viscid relic]

Probably

[viscid relic]

Ok

[vale wing]

We all know this

[hushed galleon]

object oriented programming is a very important concept for discord.py since there's a lot of objects and classes it uses (just look at the docs)

i would suggest knowing the difference between the two and instance attributes/methods vs class attributes/methods, that way you can avoid writing mistakes like discord.Member.name which tend to pop up in the help channels
if you want some resources you can type !resources in #bot-commands and search for OOP, there's a youtube playlist by corey schafer that covers them well

[vale wing]

I and other regular members of this channel usually suggest python beginners to learn more python before getting to making discord bots, because at this point most of them just copy code and understand nothing

Not discouraging them or anything

Well I mentioned the concrete topic but anyways thanks for telling me about this I will be aware of myself

[slate swan]

how

it just spams

[gaunt ice]

oof

pin this

very important message

[slate swan]

i agree tbh

[gaunt ice]

oh

okk

[slim ibex]

that isn't the only point of view though, thats the thing

there are 2 ways that a new programmer can get discouraged:

1. people telling them to go learn the language before tackling a hard project
2. the beginner doing the hard project and not being able to do anything so they get discouraged and quit

its kind of a double edged sword

[slate swan]

how do i not spam console and just print whole list instead of spam

[slim ibex]

you are printing the list each time after it gets appended to. if you want to print it after all the appending, take the print statement outside the loop

[slate swan]

lmao

[slim ibex]

where did you put it

[slate swan]

outside the for loop?

[slim ibex]

show the code

[slim ibex]

????

we said put the PRINT outside the for loop

[slate swan]

oh

[slim ibex]

wonder if a list comp would do anything here

[slate swan]

i am having iq issues

iq spikes 💀

[slim ibex]

ye

don't think that and would help

but doesn't Python make them into bools?

oh

im thinking of Rust where both sides must be a boolean since the compiler doesn't coerce them

if statement must be boolean. if foo doesn't work

error[E0308]: mismatched types

[sick birch]

More things to speed it up

[hushed galleon]

i believe this would make a list of references to the same embed actually, since and would return the last operand if all were true

ye

[native onyx]

I am trying to add this information to the .json in this way:

but it is being added like this:

code:

import json 
dictionary = { 
    "5622987331403947": {
        "username": "Arcanjo'#5288",
        "registered": "18/03/22"
    }
} 
json_object = json.dumps(dictionary, indent = 4) 
with open("inventory.json", "a") as outfile: 
    outfile.write(json_object)

can someone help me?

[hushed galleon]

with .json files, you need to read and write the entire file at once, appending cant be done

[sick birch]

One of the reasons it’s not suitable as a database

[hushed galleon]

you should consider storing user ids instead of their names fetching their username as needed (since they can change) and also using a database, for example SQLite (with asqlite or aiosqlite)

[sick birch]

Even changing something small requires you to rewrite the entire file

[native onyx]

I was trying to use sql, but my windows locale is not showing up as an option :c

[native onyx]

but the sql server is not showing up as runningonly this SQL Server VSS Writer appears

[native onyx]

do you know how to solve this error/bug?

during the installation no errors occurred

[hushed galleon]

dunno what to suggest for that besides a google search (maybe this would help? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/install/local-language-versions-in-sql-server)
but if you're interested in using an alternative database for discord bots, you can look into PostgreSQL (another client-server db) or SQLite as i mentioned before (single-file db)

[native onyx]

ok, I'll see if I can fix it here, thanks for the help

[honest vessel]

@native onyx answer is linux ftw

linux is best OS for servers

headless n u only waste ram cpu on wat u need

[native onyx]

sad, I had kali linux installed on virtual box

[honest vessel]

kali linux is pentesting distro tho

[native onyx]

i know

[honest vessel]

but a lightweight installed debian or arch

[native onyx]

do you recommend linux mint, ubuntu or antix

?

[honest vessel]

ubuntu has alot preinstalled shit u dont need for q server

all u need is nothing n install sshd

n screen

[native onyx]

so which one do you recommend

[honest vessel]

then use like putty

to connect to server

i recommend buy vps for 5$

instqll debian

selfhosting is whqck

[slate swan]

only message has that attr

!d discord.Message.content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.content

The actual contents of the message.

:vv wut

[slate swan]

[small igloo]

which one-

is a bot with rpg features

[slate swan]

bro the discord one aka the one with all the src code in it

[supple crescent]

i guenenly have no idea why this is happening

[small igloo]

and which one i should clic :V

[slim ibex]

why is your default a message meant to be sent in discord @supple crescent

anyaway, i keep the msg there bc when i try to alter it or remove it altogether, it stops repeating what i say

[uncut zephyr]

I want to add some text to my bots status.
I know i can use

await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="test"))

But I want to display more information's when you click on the Bot. Like an Server Link etc.

Like here.

omg

[supple crescent]

https://python.plainenglish.io/how-to-change-discord-bot-status-with-discord-py-39219c8fceea
you could do smthn like "playing: [server link]

[uncut zephyr]

yeah thank you

I am a bit stupid

lol

[supple crescent]

np

orrr @uncut zephyr you could make it the about me

wait nvm ur already using the abt me

[uncut zephyr]

Yeah exactly. I thought it would be the same. Just found out I want to change the "about me" 🤦‍♂️

[uncut zephyr]

no I am not, am I?🤔

Thanks :)

[inner epoch]

I have a button and with the press of button I just create a channel so the button shows interaction failed what should I do abt that? Is there any way to supress it as I only want to create button and dont wish to send back any message in channel on interaction

[slate swan]

what library?

[torn sail]

You could send back an ephemeral message

[slate swan]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[slate swan]

just use this.

[inner epoch]

Umm Ig you mean what @slate swan suggested

[inner epoch]

Aye but I heard it creates problem, does it?

[slate swan]

no

[inner epoch]

Aye ill add it then!!Thansk a lot @slate swan @torn sail

Hey @brittle axle!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[brittle axle]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/guzifukela I am trying to create slash commands. No errors showed up but the slash commands did not show up on the servers the bot was in. I even re added the bot with applications.commands. Intents were also added

[slate swan]

try adding the test_guilds kwarg to the deco since if not specified, it takes approx. 60 mins to register them to all servers

[gaunt ice]

guys

wait nvm

[supple crescent]

@bot.command(name = 'order')
async def order(ctx: commands.Context, *, echo: str) -> None:
    msg = await ctx.send(echo)
    await msg.add_reaction(":thumbsup:")
    await msg.add_reaction(":thumbsdown:")
    await ctx.message.delete()

    channel = message.channel
    await channel.send('You have 60 seconds to confirm! Press [placheolder thumbsup] to confirm! press [placeholder thumbsdown] to try again!')
    def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == ':thumbsup:'
    try:
        reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
    else:
        await channel.send(':thumbsup:')

i cant seem get the second part, the rexognize if you have reacted part working. any help?

[torn sail]

Ephemeral is an invisible message and defer tells the users the bot will follow up later

[inner epoch]

Umm how can I use it? If am not asking you a lot

Wait I got it!!

[inner epoch]

Thanks a lot btw!!

[supple crescent]

damn 7k trophies ur insane

[honest vessel]

get a room

Ephemeral -> btw how often can u use those are there limits?

could i finally use this for game?

sink ships game or what ever RPG

or can we use Ephemeral just like any msg?

can u do bot dm->msg->send in server Ephemeral to a member? 😛

ofc u can

[torn sail]

No limit

[torn sail]

You only can use ephemeral messages with an interaction

[supple crescent]

can anyone help?

[spring flax]

error?

[spring flax]

why are you doing client.waot_for when your deco is @bot.command?

[supple crescent]

sorry i forgot:AttributeError: module 'email.message' has no attribute 'channel'

[spring flax]

you did channel = message.channel but haven't defined message

you mean ctx.channel

[supple crescent]

🤦‍♂️

[spring flax]

save yourself an extra variable

    channel = message.channel
    await channel.send('You have 60 seconds to confirm! Press [placheolder thumbsup] to confirm! press [placeholder thumbsdown] to try again!')

Change this to:

    await ctx.send('You have 60 seconds to confirm! Press [placheolder thumbsup] to confirm! press [placeholder thumbsdown] to try again!')

[supple crescent]

ur right!

[hushed galleon]

also for standard emojis, you need to compare the actual unicode character, e.g. \👍 or \N{THUMBS UP SIGN}

[spring flax]

and change your def check function because it has message.author

[supple crescent]

it is the acual thumbs up its just not showing for sum reason

[supple crescent]

so add msg inside the heck?

[hushed galleon]

ah okay

[spring flax]

no

it's ctx.author, not message.author

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

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.

[spring flax]

look at the attributes of Context from the docs

[supple crescent]

ahhhhhh, i see now

[brittle axle]

oh ok thanks

[supple crescent]

new error. yay.

        reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)

gives the error " AttributeError: module 'http.client' has no attribute 'wait_for'"

[spring flax]

show your bot construction

where you defined bot

[supple crescent]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', help_command=None, intents=intents)

[spring flax]

you likely have overriden that variable with another bot

@supple crescent actually, show your imports

[supple crescent]

@spring flax i do have some usless stuff from experimenting btw

from distutils import errors
from doctest import Example
from email import message
from http import client
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
import time
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio

[spring flax]

but why?

why are you repeating imports lol

are you just making a discord bot?

[supple crescent]

which ones am i repeating? am i just blind 😅

[supple crescent]

yeah

[spring flax]

import discord
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

import time
import asyncio```

this will suffice

[supple crescent]

wow ok

[slate swan]

imagine emailing

[toxic bluff]

Hey, I try to implement a slash command with the disnake libary. Every time I start the Bot I get the following error: SyncWarning: Failed to overwrite global commands due to 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 0.options.0.description: This field is required
In 0.options.1.description: This field is required
warnings.warn(f"Failed to overwrite global commands due to {e}", SyncWarning) looks like I need to add descriptions to the slash command parameters. Anybody know how to fix this?

[supple crescent]

agagin, scrapped commands

[slate swan]

pip install -u disnake

[toxic bluff]

I already have disnake installed

[supple crescent]

thanks, so the imports seemed to clear that up but now channel is undefined. how hould i define it?

[spring flax]

how have you?

what have you done to define channel right now?

[supple crescent]

i had it defined up there :

channel = message.channel
    await channel.send('You have 60 seconds to confirm! Press [placheolder thumbsup] to confirm! press [placeholder thumbsdown] to try again!')

but then we streamlined it to

await ctx.send('You have 60 seconds to confirm! Press [placheolder thumbsup] to confirm! press [placeholder thumbsdown] to try again!')

should i just redifine it doen there?

[spring flax]

huh

you're using the bottom one?

[supple crescent]

yup

[spring flax]

That's not the error

you said channel is undefined

[daring olive]

when writing commands, is it typically
1 class per 1 cog?

[spring flax]

you are referring to a channel variable right?

[spring flax]

yeah

[slate swan]

Yes

[daring olive]

tyty

[slate swan]

Also u need to setup

[supple crescent]

yes but

    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
    else:
        await channel.send('👍')

was relying on channel = message.channel, although that was bugged since message.chanel didnt work anyway

[slate swan]

Name huh?

[vocal plover]

A cog is a class, do you mean one cog per extension?

[spring flax]

yeah i believe a cog file was meant

[slate swan]

Yes

1 class per 1 cog file

[spring flax]

not message.channel like I said, Context ( ctx) in the case of the command) has a channel attribute. So ctx.channel

[vocal plover]

I'd do 1 cog per file, but you can have multiple cogs per extension and doing so can help with the structure of large bots

[slate swan]

Wait Indents?

[daring olive]

ah yeah by cog i meant a file

what's the difference between a cog & an extension?

[spring flax]

a cog file and an extension?

[slate swan]

Do try excpet have else too?

[vocal plover]

A cog is the individual class, an extension is a 'module' with a setup method

[spring flax]

yes

[vocal plover]

so an extension could be

file.py
```or it could also be
```py
folder/
  __init__.py - has a setup() method
  cog1.py
  cog2.py
  ...

[slate swan]

U mean different file like mod.py

[supple crescent]

it worked, ily man. thanks for helping me with my shit code

[vocal plover]

extensions are resolved in the same way as imports, so if you can import setup from {extension} that extension can be loaded by dpy

[slate swan]

she was asking about extension ig

[spring flax]

for example

try:
  #do a bot.waot_for 
except:
  #if it failes
else:
  #if the check is met

[trail oxide]

    
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        with open('guilds.json', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
            guilds_dict = json.load(f)

        channel_id = guilds_dict[str(member.guild.id)]
        await Client.get_channel(int(channel_id)).send(f'{member.mention} welcome!')


    @commands.command(name='welcome')
    async def set_welcome_channel(self, ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):
        with open('guilds.json', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
            guilds_dict = json.load(f)

        guilds_dict[str(ctx.guild.id)] = str(channel.id)
        with open('guilds.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
            json.dump(guilds_dict, f, indent=4, ensure_ascii=False)
        
        await ctx.send(f'Sent welcome channel for {ctx.message.guild.name} to {channel.name}')

**Error: **

line 421, in on_member_join
    await Client.get_channel(int(channel_id)).send(f'{member.mention} welcome!')
TypeError: get_channel() missing 1 required positional argument: 'id'```

[spring flax]

is this a large bot or guild?

[slate swan]

Alright +1

[slate swan]

Put channel id

[honest vessel]

TypeError: get_channel() missing 1 required positional argument: 'id' btw

[vocal plover]

you're trying to call the method on the class Client, you need an actual instance of Client/Bot to call the method on

[daring olive]

mm i'm reading, 1 minute

[spring flax]

if you've defined commands.Bot as client, you put a capital C whereas you should have put client

[honest vessel]

Client.get_channel(id=str(channel_id)) ?

[slate swan]

Do u guys suggest doing client.get_channel(2839282893).send("hi")

[slate swan]

U dont need to define id

[vocal plover]

I'd personally put the channel in a variable (and check that it isnt None) and then use .send() on that variable

[honest vessel]

then try convert to string

something is going on

[slate swan]

wait

Why string

I use direct?

[honest vessel]

also should't it be guild?

[trail oxide]

so what should i du

[honest vessel]

await Client.get_channel(int(channel_id)).send(f'{member.mention} welcome!')

[spring flax]

it has to be awaited if you do that

[trail oxide]

should i copy that

[honest vessel]

guild.get_channel?

[slate swan]

Bruh

[spring flax]

what?

[vocal plover]

could do, but client.get_channel is also perfectly valid

[slate swan]

member.guild.get_channel

[honest vessel]

ah ok

[trail oxide]

im gonna try

[cold sonnet]

he's right...

[spring flax]

yeah though in the context of a command, I assume guild.get_channel is better right?

[honest vessel]

just thought guild would be needed specified

[slate swan]

Yes ik but that was an example

[daring olive]

so in my example here

PingCommand class is a cog?
info is an extension?

[trail oxide]

bro you a legend

its working!

[vocal plover]

yes

[trail oxide]

thanks guys

[honest vessel]

^^,

[slate swan]

Np

[spring flax]

only one command in a cog?

[daring olive]

so far yes lol

[slate swan]

She's starting?

[vocal plover]

ping is the only thing that belongs in a ping cog tbf

[honest vessel]

@slate swannp

[spring flax]

no i was just asking

[slate swan]

Ok

[honest vessel]

why i read it as farting?

[slate swan]

Idk

[spring flax]

lol

[honest vessel]

weird brain

[slate swan]

..

[daring olive]

so if i were to add a /server command to info.py
i'd add a new class for it
and add another bot.add_cog(...) in info.setup?

[spring flax]

well yeah

[slate swan]

No

[spring flax]

wdym info.setup? you can use the setup method

[slate swan]

U can put the commands related to it in 1 class

[honest vessel]

never used add_cog only load_exstansion

[final iron]

You don't have to add the cog manually. You can make a cogs folder and loop through it

[honest vessel]

[daring olive]

the setup method within info.py @spring flax

[honest vessel]

yes class

[vocal plover]

In that case what you might want to do is make the folder called info, in the __init__.py put your setup method and imports from other files in the folder, and then separate the cogs into individual files like ping.py something_else.py

[daring olive]

that makes more sense yeah

[slate swan]

Epic docs fail

[honest vessel]

😄

[daring olive]

i don't think i've ever seen more than 1 add_cog in any setup method.. typically.. right?

[honest vessel]

i am newbie

!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: nextcord.discord, disnake.discord

[vocal plover]

Typically people don't but I'm not really sure why, if anything it's a good thing to do that not a bad practice

[slate swan]

disnake*

[honest vessel]

epic fail of docs

[slate swan]

doesnt matter lol

[daring olive]

maybe bc everyone's copying each other's bots?

[slate swan]

Lol

[vocal plover]

extensions loading is how it is so you can have better structure, and then people went and made every file its own ext lol

[honest vessel]

!d from mayter import doesnt

[unkempt canyon]

from

7.11. The import statement

import_stmt     ::=  "import" module ["as" identifier] ("," module ["as" identifier])*
                     | "from" relative_module "import" identifier ["as" identifier]
                     ("," identifier ["as" identifier])*
                     | "from" relative_module "import" "(" identifier ["as" identifier]

```...

[slate swan]

Not me

[honest vessel]

lol!!!!!

[slate swan]

Makes no sense

[vocal plover]

yeah

[daring olive]

.bm cogs and things

[slate swan]

H?

[honest vessel]

.bm things & cogs

[lament depot]

In the future, don't do that.

Your input was invalid: You must either provide a valid message to bookmark, or reply to one.

The lookup strategy for a message is as follows (in order):

1. Lookup by '{channel ID}-{message ID}' (retrieved by shift-clicking on 'Copy ID')
2. Lookup by message ID (the message must be in the context channel)
3. Lookup by message URL

Usage:```
.bookmark [target_message] [title=Bookmark]

[slate swan]

#bot-commands

[honest vessel]

In the future, don't do that. <-- i stay away

dont wanna start ww3

[slate swan]

I use

[vocal plover]

for GTAO's bot we have extension init files that look like this which makes the actual loading simpler while keeping good structure and everything in places you'd expect

[oblique adder]

how do I check if bot is able to give the mentioned role from the command?
do I check the role position or what ?

[honest vessel]

@daring olive why dont u have like !vps

[slate swan]

Imports

[slate swan]

Why inside a function

[honest vessel]

repl n i dont know those websites they use all complain not working

[vocal plover]

because that's how dpy loads extensions

[daring olive]

can you screenshot the project structure too?

[slate swan]

I did without it

Somehow

[oblique adder]

please ping

[vocal plover]

some folders arent expanded else it would be massive, but if you want to see the structure of a specific one just point it out

[slate swan]

Whats inside scammers.py

xD

[honest vessel]

@vocal ploveri would recommend do a standalone moderation bot

[vocal plover]

pretty much the only one I can't show because it would give away sensitive logic lol

[honest vessel]

u dont want ur RPG bot fail n cant do moderation when needed

[slate swan]

Sensitive logic.

[honest vessel]

and its no need to be same bot

[vocal plover]

yeah a couple hundred lines of scam detection is not something I want to make public for the scammers to use to help them bypass it lol

[slate swan]

Custom voice does ur bot speak??

[vocal plover]

no it allows users to create small private voice channels for themselves via a command

[slate swan]

U mean private voice

[honest vessel]

maleonmale

[slate swan]

What?

[honest vessel]

1on1

[slate swan]

Melonmail?

[vocal plover]

huh?

[honest vessel]

yeah a moderation bot should be same as ur RPG bot

[slate swan]

Also with some utilities

[vocal plover]

I don't have an rpg bot

[honest vessel]

should't

[slate swan]

.

Imagine having a utility bot

[honest vessel]

this

[slate swan]

manager

Weird names

[honest vessel]

is moderation another bot?

[slate swan]

Ofc not

[vocal plover]

No it's part of the same bot because the bot is designed to handle important things for the server

In the same way @unkempt canyon has both moderation utilities and stuff like the eval command

[honest vessel]

then what i try say is make ur modbot seperate

modbot is an idler but when u need it u cant have a game bugging

[slate swan]

Listen people need functionality the more the commands the more the fam

[vocal plover]

if I make it separate it wouldn't make a difference, everything in the bot is designed to fail without affecting other components, and if the whole thing is down it means the host is down so I'm fucked anyway

[honest vessel]

i take that as sarcasm lol

[honest vessel]

also needs functionality the more the less

he still should keep modbot sperated from gamebot

[honest vessel]

ok

[slate swan]

😶

[honest vessel]

ye lol?

[slate swan]

Ill hope my bot will have heavy traffic with only a ban command

[honest vessel]

haha

will nvr happen with that wish

but i hope u get high traffic server one day

[slate swan]

In moderation ppl need ban kick mute unmute lock unlock nick resetnick warn

[honest vessel]

then u can test ur ban-command u got from #discord-bots

[honest vessel]

u forgot 1

most usefull one

timeout

[slate swan]

Unban u

[honest vessel]

lol

timeout is kinda all u need

what if u timeout one 2 years why ban

[slate swan]

Ban hurts more

Ask me

[honest vessel]

true

timeout is good too

[slate swan]

I was banned for 1 year and unbanned today

[honest vessel]

kick is just meh

i like this buildt in timeout

it pauses u from all chans n voice

[slate swan]

Kick is friendly

[honest vessel]

n they have a countdown

[slate swan]

Also voicemute voicekick disconnect

How

[honest vessel]

powerabusers

😄

i hope u get shitty trafficed server

powerabuser

[slate swan]

Imagine completed bot but no hosting

[honest vessel]

imagine write a bot

n still single

[slate swan]

!_!

I hope discord provide free hosts for there bots

Later

[honest vessel]

dont u have 5bucks a month?

[slate swan]

No

[honest vessel]

i hope govs around world gives kids 5$ a month to spend on VPS

[slate swan]

I have

But why

I dont want my bot to be productive

[honest vessel]

if u want to host ur completed awesome bot

[slate swan]

I just maked it for fun

[honest vessel]

but u ask for free hosting

[slate swan]

Yup

[honest vessel]

ok i should even say that comparesion but nah bro

it dosnt work like that

[slate swan]

.

[honest vessel]

someone has to pay

electricity n bandwidthbut u want it for free

and 1999999999 more kids

[slate swan]

Ill pay when ill be like 18

[honest vessel]

dont you have like cutoff cards for vps duo studie'?

[slate swan]

Im 14 bro stop

[honest vessel]

maybe school should start give out that

personal vps 512mb

[slate swan]

Stop

Can we host in a router lol

[honest vessel]

if u root it yes

[slate swan]

No way

[honest vessel]

yes way

what does ur router do to u

[slate swan]

A ethernet pendrive

[honest vessel]

when login? put settings? hostiung?

[slate swan]

Internet

[honest vessel]

most routers also a linux

just root it n u can do what u want

[slate swan]

Who likes to root there router

[honest vessel]

but u would need a new router 😄

perhaps

u askedme

if u could host bot on router

[slate swan]

Nvmd

[honest vessel]

answer is yes

perhaps

probally

i think ur router cost more than 5$ vps

[slate swan]

Ok enough

@uncut zephyr

[uncut zephyr]

yes?

[slate swan]

Ur name say ping me

[uncut zephyr]

I wasn't sure if I would interrupt you

[honest vessel]

@uncut zephyr just cause of name i get no choice than to ping

[slate swan]

U can

[uncut zephyr]

I guess my bad xD

[honest vessel]

lol

(dont ping me)

would prob get more

[slate swan]

@honest vessel

[uncut zephyr]

Yeah I have a question. You can add a "add to your Server" button to your Bot.
But when I try to click mine, this shows up

[uncut zephyr]

Na its because this Server is on mute and I want to know if someone responds

[slate swan]

U dont have permission

[honest vessel]

nvr seen can u show ur code?

i can show mine

[uncut zephyr]

[honest vessel]

await channel.send(embed=embed, view=InviteBot())

[slate swan]

U don't have permission

Vro hes saying about inviting his bot to the server

[uncut zephyr]

There is no code. I did it on the Discord developer site

[slate swan]

@uncut zephyr

[uncut zephyr]

bro its enough okay?

[honest vessel]

I dont think thats asked

[slate swan]

[honest vessel]

where

when i censured id

[slate swan]

url =

[honest vessel]

try use it

contact modmail

[slate swan]

Why f string there

[honest vessel]

cause i was born with 3 legs

[slate swan]

U mean 3 brain cells 🤣 jk

[uncut zephyr]

I dont know. what is super()?

[honest vessel]

yea

super class

[uncut zephyr]

ah okay

yeah I guess I will ask later, thanks guys 😅

[honest vessel]

!d super

[unkempt canyon]

super

class super([type[, object-or-type]])```
Return a proxy object that delegates method calls to a parent or sibling class of *type*. This is useful for accessing inherited methods that have been overridden in a class.

The *object-or-type* determines the [method resolution order](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-method-resolution-order) to be searched. The search starts from the class right after the *type*.

For example, if [`__mro__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#class.__mro__ "class.__mro__") of *object-or-type* is `D -> B -> C -> A -> object` and the value of *type* is `B`, then [`super()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#super "super") searches `C -> A -> object`.

The [`__mro__`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#class.__mro__ "class.__mro__") attribute of the *object-or-type* lists the method resolution search order used by both [`getattr()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#getattr "getattr") and [`super()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#super "super"). The attribute is dynamic and can change whenever the inheritance hierarchy is updated.

[slate swan]

Brooooo

He s just meant to invite his bot to his serv3r

[uncut zephyr]

nop

[honest vessel]

dosnt that do it?

wid a button

[slate swan]

Then

[honest vessel]

u think i bait u to invite my bot? 😄 u cant

[uncut zephyr]

I want this button to work. (in english: add to server)

[slate swan]

Oh.

[honest vessel]

what i just gave u code for

but its disnake

[uncut zephyr]

yeah but I dont understand your code

whats disnake?

[honest vessel]

oh

its a copy of discord.py that they kept develoipe while dpy died

[slate swan]

Discord .py fork

- Go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and select your bot.
- Insert at least one tag in the TAGS (MAXIMUM 5) field (these can be any text, separated by comma's)
- From the side menu click on Oauth2 -> General
- Modify the Default Authorization Link with a Custom URL or In-App authorization

Star / Wildcard imports

Wildcard imports are import statements in the form from <module_name> import *. What imports like these do is that they import everything [1] from the module into the current module's namespace [2]. This allows you to use names defined in the imported module without prefixing the module's name.

Example:

>>> from math import *
>>> sin(pi / 2)
1.0

This is discouraged, for various reasons:

Example:

>>> from custom_sin import sin
>>> from math import *
>>> sin(pi / 2)  # uses sin from math rather than your custom sin

• Potential namespace collision. Names defined from a previous import might get shadowed by a wildcard import.
• Causes ambiguity. From the example, it is unclear which sin function is actually being used. From the Zen of Python [3]: Explicit is better than implicit.
• Makes import order significant, which they shouldn't. Certain IDE's sort import functionality may end up breaking code due to namespace collision.

How should you import?

• Import the module under the module's namespace (Only import the name of the module, and names defined in the module can be used by prefixing the module's name)

>>> import math
>>> math.sin(math.pi / 2)

• Explicitly import certain names from the module

>>> from math import sin, pi
>>> sin(pi / 2)

Conclusion: Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! [3]

[1] If the module defines the variable __all__, the names defined in __all__ will get imported by the wildcard import, otherwise all the names in the module get imported (except for names with a leading underscore)
[2] Namespaces and scopes
[3] Zen of Python

-TypeError: on_member_join() missing 1 required positional argument: 'member'

[boreal ravine]

Remove "ctx"

[slate swan]

how do i make this

instead of this

[boreal ravine]

make what? the embed? the bot?

[slate swan]

i am losing brain cells

cuz i am trying to add pages

[boreal ravine]

em.add_field(name=name, value=amount)
``` ![BanThonk](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/726745780798488603.webp?size=128 "BanThonk")

[slate swan]

nono but it will send

all items in my inventory

i want like if u have more than 5 items

then it sends the embed with u have 5 items

and then going to other page

u can see other items

idk how to explain if u dont understand

[tacit token]

ok but i use ctx

[boreal ravine]

a paginator?

[hasty crest]

def check_for_bot(self, ctx):
        def check(message):
            return not message.author.bot
        return check

res = await self.client.wait_for('message', check=MemCheck.check_for_bot(self, ctx))

I would like to understand why is the check function not working?
The check function checks if the author of the message is not a bot, but the bot just gets messages from itself regardless

[slate swan]

ok i am so dumb

[boreal ravine]

just remove it

[slate swan]

so basically i just needed to make name = i

[boreal ravine]

f

[slate swan]

(totally didnt suffer for 3 hours)

or less

[tacit token]

Bro if i remove the ctx the channel_id not work

[hasty crest]

you won't even need it

there is no context in that event

you have to remove it so the event works

[tacit token]

channel_id = guilds_dict[str(ctx.guild.id)]
NameError: name 'ctx' is not defined

[boreal ravine]

replace it with member

[hasty crest]

also
channel_id = guilds_dict[str(ctx.guild.id)]
Look closer, this gets the guild not channel

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.Member.guild <-

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild

The guild that the member belongs to.

[hasty crest]

he wants the channel it seems

he needs to get a channel ID himself, there is nothing called member.channel in on_member_join

[boreal ravine]

try ```py
def check(m):
return m.author.bot is False

await self.cient.wait_for(..., check=check)

[tacit token]

so?

[hasty crest]

What you are doing is wrong
You want to send a message to a certain channel right?
Get the ID of that channel manually and then do client.get_channel(IDHERE)

[boreal ravine]

guilds_dict prolly has channel ids as values?

[hasty crest]

because in on_member_join event, you only get the member that joined

[hasty crest]

oh right let me check

[boreal ravine]

@tacit token what does guilds_dict contain?

[tacit token]

bro my bot in 85 server. I dont add 85 for the code

[hasty crest]

then just replace ctx with member

member.guild.id

[tacit token]

ty hero

[boreal ravine]

ok

[hasty crest]

no problem
Well thanks to @boreal ravine too

[hasty crest]

I will try

[slate swan]

what do i do

[slate swan]

Apply for the verification?

[hasty crest]

@boreal ravine Thanks for the help and sorry for bothering you
It seems I had a big misunderstanding for the check function

def check_for_bot(message): return not message.author.bot and message.channel.id == ctx.channel.id

This is what I wanted

[slate swan]

You're trying to check if the author is a bot ?

[lapis meadow]

Most likely a stupid question but I have a bot that posts a video response IE: Yes, No, Ehhh ETC. I want the video to post but not show the link. Here is an example of it happening. Is there something I put in my code to make the link disappear? I tried <Link> but that just shows the link and not the video.

[slate swan]

how do i make a channel move to a different category when a command is run?

but it wont work cuz of message.channel.id == ctx.channel.id?

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.edit

await edit(*, reason=None, **options)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the channel.

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

Changed in version 1.3: The `overwrites` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 1.4: The `type` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited channel is returned instead...

[slate swan]

For text channels

[boreal ravine]

nothing (unless it says to verify your bot)

[slate swan]

its says verify ur bot

[slate swan]

Then Verify it;) and congratulations

Btw make a command that checks the guilds, basically if ur bot has like 10 guilds with the same owner they'll not going to verify it

like this?

await guild.edit_text_channel.category('CLOSED TICKETS')```

wait

[slate swan]

no, like py category = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.channels, name = "ur category name") await ctx.channel.edit(category = category)

omg i cant spell 💀

okay thanks

[slate swan]

ctx.guild.categories .....

iirc

!d discord.Guild.categories

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.categories

property categories```
A list of categories that belongs to this guild.

This is sorted by the position and are in UI order from top to bottom.

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

But ctx.guild.channels works too

Since category is a channel

[slate swan]

why not use the categories property it'd be faster

[slate swan]

Yep agreed

[slate swan]

stop using cringe emojis

guild has no attribute category?

thats justin

[slate swan]

categories

ok

[maiden fable]

I can say the same for you True

[slate swan]

anyone know why tf its saying this although it is in the same exact folder as the .py file

[slate swan]

I use emojis in my messages lesser than I used to

[maiden fable]

and that is a good thing

[maiden fable]

is it in the same folder as the command prompt?

[slate swan]

it was more of a first-time-nitro happiness

[slate swan]

lemme check

[maiden fable]

understandable

try doing print(__import__("os").getcwd()) and see if the file is in the same folder as it prints

[slate swan]

its not gonna work anyways, even if you fix the file issue

[maiden fable]

😔 Yerl here, I will just go away and play some games

[slate swan]

how come 🤨

[maiden fable]

Idk

[honest vessel]

i dunno but fuck this gave me alaugh

[slate swan]

if message content would be equal to redeem, it cant be the password at the same time

[honest vessel]

shit expensive fruits

[maiden fable]

AAAAAH YES

[honest vessel]

same price too

[slate swan]

one cucmber for one....1000 coins? tf

[honest vessel]

give me 1000 coins plox

[maiden fable]

Reasons I hate economy bots

[honest vessel]

always wanted my own cucomber

[slate swan]

[honest vessel]

@slate swanhow did u come across python n start coding?

[maiden fable]

[lone lotus]

import asyncpg could not be resolved

[native onyx]

do you know which type I have to pass to send the ID and the DATE?

USE usersData
CREATE TABLE listUsersData(
    id_user (typing),
    date_registered (typing)
    )

[lone lotus]

somebody help?

[tacit token]

guys on_member_leave works? on_member_join work but the leave not really

[native onyx]

a series of data:

date = datetime.datetime.now()
    date = date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S")

and the id would be:

ctx.author.id

comando = f"""INSERT INTO listUsersData(id_user,date_registered)
VALUES
    ({ctx.author.id},{date})"""

[manic wing]

did you pip install it and restart your ide?

[manic wing]

on_member_leave should work fine, but sometimes it doesn’t send all the data just partial

[manic wing]

#databases

[tacit token]

o ok ty

[manic wing]

!sql

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also
• Extended Example with SQLite (search for "Instead, use the DB-API's parameter substitution")
• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

Stop with these

[swift imp]

how to send a message to use in PM?

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
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 v3.10)") 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 v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[swift imp]

which of the parameters is responsible for where the message is sent?

[slim ibex]

you specify the member instance to send it to, but that isn't a param

the member instance would be a param of your command function

[slate swan]

I dont need reddit's meme subreddit anymore, this stuff is real 😔

[slate swan]

not necessarily, you could send a pvt. message to the author

[slim ibex]

well generally it would be a param

[slate swan]

get_member 👀

[slim ibex]

that works too

[narrow grail]

is there a methode to rename my discord bot If I do it in the Discord Developers Portal it doesn't work

[swift imp]

Thx

[slate swan]

!d discord.ClientUser.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientUser.edit

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

Edits the current profile of the client.

Note

To upload an avatar, a [bytes-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object "(in Python v3.10)") must be passed in that represents the image being uploaded. If this is done through a file then the file must be opened via `open('some_filename', 'rb')` and the [bytes-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object "(in Python v3.10)") is given through the use of `fp.read()`.

The only image formats supported for uploading is JPEG and PNG.

Changed in version 2.0: The edit is no longer in-place, instead the newly edited client user is returned...

[honest shoal]

is it verified?

[narrow grail]

no

its a private bot

[tacit storm]

!d discord.Bot.edit

[unkempt canyon]

Certainly not.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[tacit storm]

i's something like this

[slate swan]

YourBotInstance.user.edit(username="whatever")

[tacit storm]

ill find it real quick

[honest shoal]

here

[slate swan]

ghost ping 😔

[narrow grail]

thx man

[slate swan]

same thing with avatar right?

[slim ibex]

only async def functions or coroutines can be used with await

check what pop_random_line1() is

[honest shoal]

To upload an avatar, a bytes-like object must be passed in that represents the image being uploaded. If this is done through a file then the file must be opened via open('some_filename', 'rb') and the bytes-like object is given through the use of fp.read().```

[slate swan]

ah

[vital steeple]

wym

[slim ibex]

what is pop_random_line1()? can you show where it is defined?

[slate swan]

you need a bytes object, this is a steamReader, Didnt work for me

idk if encoding works

[honest shoal]

huh?

[narrow grail]

how to get the guild id when my bot is on some server?

[honest shoal]

how do you want an id?

like a command or something else

[narrow grail]

for example sending a welcome message on the certain server

[honest shoal]

member.guild.id

[slate swan]

btw!

wait nvm

[slate swan]

wtf

[slate swan]

you're talking abt on_member_join event?
