[silent ermine]

how do I update it for the server id? would it be like var = pilot[str(ctx.guild.id)] and then its var.update(dict)?

[hasty raptor]

Do I need to change command prefix

[torn sail]

No

[silent ermine]

It will only be /

[torn sail]

You won’t Change command prefix

[hasty raptor]

O ok

[torn sail]

https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6 has examples of a lot of new stuff including slash commands

[supple thorn]

The guild id?

[silent ermine]

ye

[supple thorn]

Wait how does the inside of your json look

[silent ermine]

{
    "947688133200338985": {
        "ID": "637774954695229461999123123"
    }
}```

[supple thorn]

Shouldn't it be

[silent ermine]

Wdym

[supple thorn]

pilot.update(dict)

If you want to update the guild id

[silent ermine]

but that wont do it for the guild id?

[silent ermine]

^

[supple thorn]

Would it be able to see the guild id if you do [str(ctx.guild.id)]

[silent ermine]

in the .update?

[supple thorn]

Yeah

[silent ermine]

so pilot[str(ctx.guild.id)].update(dict)

[silent ermine]

well it worked with the other, but it over writ the other one

[supple thorn]

Wouldn't that just add the guild id

Instead of changing it

[silent ermine]

no?

[supple thorn]

Alright

[silent ermine]

I did this

[supple thorn]

It worked?

[silent ermine]

#discord-bots message
But it over writed the other one

[supple thorn]

Okay

[silent ermine]

yea no it keeps over Writing the other one

[supple thorn]

As i thought

[silent ermine]

yes

[supple thorn]

Can't you just update the guild id with the new one with the old id

Man this sucks ass

Just learn a database please

[silent ermine]

ya

[silent ermine]

I will, I know how to i just prefer json

ok ty tho

[supple thorn]

Use mongodb

It's better than this and it's like json

[silent ermine]

ok

[slate swan]

sorry to respond to this so late but what is the value of disnake? And how can I add a image to it?

[slate swan]

what

disnake is a module?

!e

print(__import__("os"))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

<module 'os' from '/usr/local/lib/python3.10/os.py'>

[supple thorn]

iirc you can't add images to statuses

[clever fable]

Does anyone know how to make a discord bot run a python script?

[sick birch]

Sure, just call the function. Or await it if it's a coro. If it's going to be long running make sure it's a coro as opposed to a regular function so you don't block

[clever fable]

Thanks

[slate swan]

does anyone know how to add details for the game activity in discord bot like this?

[sick birch]

Not in a Discord bot afaik

[pliant gulch]

discord bot's don't support rich presence

[slate swan]

wait so how do I do it?

[sick birch]

You can have a simple "playing X" or something like that but not rich presence

[sick birch]

You don't

[slate swan]

do you guys know any library that would enable me to do that?

[sick birch]

This is an API limitation

[slate swan]

oh right

[sick birch]

No library you use will let you do that

[slate swan]

sorry

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import asyncio
import random
from keep_alive import keep_alive
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')


#ENV
load_dotenv()
TOKEN = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN')

#Character
async def send_dm(ctx,member:discord.Member,*,content):
  await member.send(content)

#Output Functions
keep_alive()
bot.run(TOKEN)

After this I get the error:

"Ignoring exception in command None:"
"discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "send_dm" is not found"

Not sure what's going on as I'm new to python

[supple thorn]

uh

okimii you explain

[slate swan]

you forgot the command deco and why do you have 2 instances Bot?

[slate swan]

tf is a deco

[supple thorn]

lol

[slate swan]

@decorator

and for the second part i probably just copy and pasted it twice

[supple thorn]

oop

[slate swan]

[supple thorn]

what is your understanding of basic python

[slate swan]

youtube tutorials from old indian men

plus stackoverflow

[supple thorn]

🗿

[slate swan]

thats what im sayin

[sturdy raptor]

Who wants to collect 5M

[supple thorn]

bank robbery?

[sturdy raptor]

No

[slate swan]

go collect some women

[sturdy raptor]

It’s being encouraged by us government

[supple thorn]

of what

[supple thorn]

what is this scam lmfao

[worldly bane]

Me 🙋

[supple thorn]

sure

[worldly bane]

🗿

[slate swan]

[worldly bane]

I'm waiting for my 5m.....

[slate swan]

wait 5m bro

😂

[final iron]

gib this 5m

[sturdy raptor]

I just saw a thing that us will pay 5M if the public civilians can track down the corrupt money they gave Russia and its largest holders with enough information to prosecute and where the money went… 5M reward

Trying to find the post but seems easy enough with all the shit they’re finding right now and taking over

[final iron]

!ot

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

[sturdy raptor]

The question is who can make it happen

Ok @unkempt canyon my apologies

[worldly bane]

its a bot 🗿

[daring olive]

so i have a ping command, and a very basic about/server command

what shall i add next? something super easy

[inner epoch]

Hey guys I wanna add a function to my bot but dont want to make it as a command just a normal function and call it and yea it still consists bot object
Example:

def function_name():
  channel = bot.get_channel(123)
  channel.send("Test")
function_name()

How can I do that?

[worldly bane]

emoji info?

[daring olive]

example?

[worldly bane]

that should work normally. just make it async and await channel.send

[daring olive]

would that be easier than say a command that sends a random cat image 🐱

[gaunt ice]

hm

[daring olive]

from an API

[worldly bane]

random cat is easier

[gaunt ice]

oh mah gawd its minaberry

[daring olive]

haha lemme do random cat then

it is i

[inner epoch]

Umm let me try to make it async wait

[slate swan]

user info or avatar command

[final iron]

If you're up for something challenging make a wallpaper command. 3 buttons are added to the message and let's you cycle back and forth through images

[slate swan]

something super easy

[final iron]

🗿

[slate swan]

has to be a coroutine

[inner epoch]

async def hello():
    channel = await bot.get_channel(123)
    print(channel)

Ok so I defined this one but still I have to call it after bot.run(token) so how to do that?

[slate swan]

get_channel isnt a coroutine

so no need to await it

[inner epoch]

Yea I did that

Is that the way?

[final iron]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[final iron]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/okavomecij

This was the wallpaper command I made

It's not completely polished but it does work

I quit bot dev before I completely finished it

[final iron]

@slate swan hey dad, are you proud of me

[inner epoch]

Aha didnt read it wait ill try

[slate swan]

did you copy pasted all of this code

[final iron]

No

[slate swan]

it seems like you did

[inner epoch]

@slate swan didnt get it can you pls show an example or maybe some reference

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

Changed in version 2.0: `id` parameter is now positional-only.

[clever fable]

@slate swan do you knowq how to make a bot run a file

[slate swan]

it doesnt say its a coroutine so no need to await it

[final iron]

I actually didn't

[worldly bane]

what type of file?

[inner epoch]

Aye ill checkout that wait

[slate swan]

wdym a main?

[clever fable]

no like i want to run a python file

[slate swan]

why is your annotations so off

[worldly bane]

try using the os module

[slate swan]

in a bot?

[final iron]

How are they off

[worldly bane]

!d os.system

[unkempt canyon]

os.system

os.system(command)```
Execute the command (a string) in a subshell. This is implemented by calling the Standard C function `system()`, and has the same limitations. Changes to [`sys.stdin`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin "sys.stdin"), etc. are not reflected in the environment of the executed command. If *command* generates any output, it will be sent to the interpreter standard output stream. The C standard does not specify the meaning of the return value of the C function, so the return value of the Python function is system-dependent.

On Unix, the return value is the exit status of the process encoded in the format specified for [`wait()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.wait "os.wait").

[clever fable]

ye like if i did !encrypt (text) it will print the output

[slate swan]

your typehints

[clever fable]

i will look into this

[final iron]

Yeah what's wrong with them

[slate swan]

well you can just use print im not really sure what you want

[worldly bane]

what do you want to output anyways

[clever fable]

no like the bot will send it in the server

[daring olive]

i want easy

[clever fable]

want me to send an example 💀

[final iron]

I guess store it in your head until you want something challenging

[daring olive]

what would an avatar command do?

[final iron]

Display the users avatar

[slate swan]

some arguments dont have annotations

[worldly bane]

copy paste someone else's code and edit it 😎 (easier)

[final iron]

Preferably in an embed

[daring olive]

lol ikr, just copy @unkempt canyon ggwp done

[final iron]

It was really late

[clever fable]

@worldly bane

[worldly bane]

is that even in discord

[slate swan]

sure it was

[clever fable]

no bruh

[final iron]

On god I didn't copy the code

[clever fable]

im trying to get the input from discord

[inner epoch]

Aye I got it, but like how can I fetch and then use channel.send with it?

[daring olive]

do you permit the user to only run this on themselves?

[slate swan]

should add a timestamp, when the user was created at, the users roles etc

[worldly bane]

@bot.command()
async def encrypt(ctx, text: str):
  #do stuff

like this?

[worldly bane]

no

[final iron]

No, they can run it on anyone

[slate swan]

most bots let you mention a users if the argument isnt given the author is the value that gets set

[worldly bane]

slate2 slash commands look good for some reason

[slate swan]

and no need to mention the user at all since Member class accepts mentions or ids since on a mention you can parse the id out of the mention since the format is @pastel pike

[clever fable]

yea

get text encrypt text

[slate swan]

just use a dict and a kwarg

print("".join([_dict[a] for a in kwarg]))

[worldly bane]

this looks so smooth ngl

[slate swan]

yes

[inner epoch]

Umm is channel.send() await function too? Bcs when am defining that am facing issues

[slate swan]

.send yes its a coroutine

[worldly bane]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.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**.

[inner epoch]

So how should I handle it within a function as the function is not a command....

[worldly bane]

just do it normally

[worldly bane]

I love how discord decided to show it with that bot's pfp 🗿

[inner epoch]

async def hello():
    channel = bot.get_channel(123)
    await channel.send("Hey")

I have something like this but it aint working

[final iron]

Describe not working

[worldly bane]

what's not working 🧍

[inner epoch]

Aye wait

shows this RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation tracebac

[worldly bane]

you need to await it

[inner epoch]

Umm channel.send() ?

[slate swan]

which line

[alpine furnace]

By the way, it is possible for any user/bot to get the avatar or banner of any other user given an id

[inner epoch]

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'hello' was never awaited
  self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[slate swan]

read it again

[alpine furnace]

Regardless of whether the target user is in the server

[slate swan]

well it says it lol

[alpine furnace]

Yes, my message is not related to what you said

[pliant gulch]

You can use the API to fetch a User, doesn’t have to be in a guild with the bot etc

[alpine furnace]

It would be a cool feature

[worldly bane]

the error is the problem

and in the error is the solution

[daring olive]

yeah
i've seen it on other bots
just always thought it was weird bc it would let people find the original full size image of user's pfps. i know it's available, but it just made it too easy for my personal liking

[slate swan]

well this is discord

[worldly bane]

read this @inner epoch
https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutines

[alpine furnace]

I see

[inner epoch]

Yea I was going through that wait ill check

[daring olive]

btw, i'm looking for the documentation of how to return the discord time stamps
but i suppose i just return the string <:whatever:> and discord does the rest

[pliant gulch]

If your on v2.0+ there’s a utility method for it with discord.py

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.10)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[pliant gulch]

But yea you can return a string yourself as well, then the client will render it

[slate swan]

you can see the formats here in the ddocs https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-timestamp-styles

[boreal ravine]

?

[sick birch]

Crazy, is that new? Didn't know that was possible

[slim ibex]

That’s fire

[slate swan]

new thing in the api update iirc

[worldly bane]

not yet released publicly

[echo wasp]

question how do you make the arg not required like this?

async def command(self,ctx,arg = None):
  ...more code  ```

[slim ibex]

That’s the way

[slate swan]

bro

[worldly bane]

🗿

[slim ibex]

Setting a default makes it optional

[sick birch]

Cool, can't wait

[worldly bane]

he answered himself 💀

[sick birch]

Not to be condescending, but

async def command(self,ctx,arg = None):
  ...more code  

is how to make it optional

You already had it 😄

[slate swan]

[slim ibex]

🗿

[echo wasp]

lol better to be safe then sorry lol

[inner epoch]

@worldly baneMind if I pm?

[worldly bane]

yeah

[inner epoch]

umm ok no worries...

[worldly bane]

I mean i don't mind

[inner epoch]

Lol😅

[slate swan]

then you say no

[daring olive]

so
default_avatar, this is the default avatar discord gives you if you don't upload anything
guild_avatar, this is the avatar if they have nitro and have set a specific pfp for the guild
display_avatar, this is the same as above, otherwise it's their global

is that right? if a user has a guild_avatar then their global pfp is not available thru the API?

[slate swan]

display_avatar is their global the guild_avatar is the specific one which if they dont have a guild one it returns None

[sick birch]

Well, they have a list of about 5 default avatars (discord icon with a different background color) so yeah it calculates which one you have based on your discrim

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.guild_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.guild\_avatar

property guild_avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the guild avatar the member has. If unavailable, `None` is returned.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

yup its an optional asset

[daring olive]

in my testing both gulid_avatar and display_avatar are both showing my guild-specific pfp only

reading the docs that sounds right

[sick birch]

Discord's API guild member object avatar is optional so discord.py has to calculate what it is by itself

[daring olive]

it doesn't sound like i'd be able to get my black/white global pfp (click my pfp)

but wait that can't be rigth

or no it is right, i think

[inner epoch]

can i? playing with it right now

    @commands.slash_command()
    async def user(self, inter: disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction):

in this context are inter.user & inter.author different?

they seem the same to me

[slate swan]

disnake makes inter.author the author of the interaction while some forks stick with dpy and use inter.user

samething lol

[sick birch]

Try using the user object like okimii suggested, since users don't have guild-specific profile pictures as they're not part of a guild

[daring olive]

yeah using user didn't change anything

[slate swan]

show your code

[daring olive]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/soxaxaxamu

about to head to bed though

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Interaction.author

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Interaction.author

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[slate swan]

well it probably returns the guild avatar since authors return type is a union of user and member

[spring flax]

You need to subclass bot for overriding context right?

[daring olive]

btw is there 1 property that encompasses this {inter.author.name}#{inter.author.discriminator}

username#discrim

there probably is and i just missed it

[spring flax]

str(inter.author)

[spring flax]

What's the issue?

[slate swan]

@daring oliveprobably returns the guild avatar as the return type is a union https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/disnake/interactions/base.py#L216

[unkempt canyon]

disnake/interactions/base.py line 216

[daring olive]

ic ic

[slate swan]

not sure why theres no method that returns only the avatar of the user class

[spring flax]

For member i assume, guild specific is member.display_avatar and global is member.avatar

!d disnake.Member.guild_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member.guild\_avatar

property guild_avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Asset "disnake.Asset") for the guild avatar the member has. If unavailable, `None` is returned.

New in version 2.0.

[spring flax]

Or that ^

[slate swan]

nah

[spring flax]

Ah then i may be missing context

[torn sail]

Im not sure if this is true but I think display_avatar will return a default pfp if the user doesn’t have one when avatar will return None

[slate swan]

yeah but in member it would return the guild one and not the global one which thats her problem

[torn sail]

What about avatar?

[slate swan]

thats the default one if they dont have it, it returns None

!d discord.Member.avatar

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the avatar the user has.

If the user does not have a traditional avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar "discord.User.display_avatar").

[slate swan]

i recommended to use user but she would need to fetch the user since interaction author returns union

[spring flax]

member.avatar returns global no?

[torn sail]

I think it would

[slate swan]

or make a user obj which i forgot how

[slate swan]

nope default

!d discord.User.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the user’s display avatar.

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

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

"uploaded avatar"

[daring olive]

i couldn't find a way if one of you do (and confirm it works) pls let me know

[slate swan]

which the member display returns the guild one or the global which she only wants the global

[slate swan]

@daring olive probably need to fetch the user or convert it in a way maybe create an instance of the obj which i forgot how its done

[sick birch]

fetching is probably your best bet

[slate swan]

yup

[echo wasp]

is pymongo this channel or #databases

[sick birch]

Not ideal having to make an API request but I don't think there's any other way

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_user

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

Retrieves a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") based on their ID. You do not have to share any guilds with the user to get this information, however many operations do require that you do.

Note

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

Changed in version 2.0: `user_id` parameter is now positional-only.

[slate swan]

yeah i dont know either

[slate swan]

database

[echo wasp]

link to loops?

[slate swan]

which loops

[echo wasp]

for result in results idk if that is python discord.py or pymongo sadly

[slate swan]

https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

gave docs because i dont use pymongo but it probably has examples

[echo wasp]

well i have no idea if it is reg python discord.py or pymongo but thanks

[native onyx]

how do i add the desktop in linux debian?

[daring olive]

i'll take a look tmrw thanks guys

in the meantime

i succeeded at making a cat command

[slate swan]

[daring olive]

i think this is a win

[slate swan]

i agree

[sick birch]

Pick one, gnome, KDE, xfce?

[native onyx]

gnome

[sick birch]

From there it's pretty easy to install since it's all modular

Easiest way would be to use something like ubuntu that comes with gnome and is debian-based

[boreal ravine]

motor broke my bot

[slate swan]

sqlite > mongo, couldnt relate

[boreal ravine]

you can't compare a language to a database

[slate swan]

mhm

[final iron]

Says who 🧍

[slate swan]

[boreal ravine]

on_message?

[boreal ravine]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

you mean if you dm the bot it will just make fun of you im not really sure what you mean

[boreal ravine]

Check if the author of the message is the bot

[worldly bane]

regen the token?

[slate swan]

if message.author == client.user:
    ...

?

[boreal ravine]

sounds like a you problem?

[slate swan]

im so confused rn

[hardy yoke]

that's just a random loop, it's normal python. need more context if you want help

you shouldn't be using pymongo with discord bots though, use an async driver otherwise your bot will stall whenever it makes db requests (like motor)

[native onyx]

when I try to insert an additional guest image, this error occurs:

I tried some tutorials from yt and some websites to solve it, but I was not successful

[sick birch]

That happened to me as well, just install it from the repos

But this is more fit for one of the OTs

[slate swan]

just dont compare its id

[native onyx]

how do I do this?

[slate swan]

i.e ^

[native onyx]

🧐

[slate swan]

Hi

Im back

[inner epoch]

Sheesh I wrote some code and it shouldn't have worked but its working!! Like how😅

[slate swan]

show i can explain

[inner epoch]

Lol no I got how its working but I didnt expect it to work

[slate swan]

ah nice it happens

[hardy yoke]

you shouldn't use pymongo, use motor https://motor.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
Motor is an async driver for mongodb. using pymongo will mean your bot will stall whenever it makes a db request

[inner epoch]

😅 👍 Am happy lol

Why dont we have reactions in this channel?

[small igloo]

how to send message when command not found, but also with the command the user invoked, like !testnotfound will return error command "testnotfound" not found, in SO there is a question about that, but i want the one that also send the unknown command, like command {unknown_command} is not found, sorry!

[hardy yoke]

use motor

[small igloo]

🛵

[jade garden]

Can i use it for now?

[worldly bane]

do you have an error handler?

[small igloo]

well, yes

[worldly bane]

is instance it

[small igloo]

idk wym but

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, CommandNotFound):
        not_found = discord.Embed(title="command not found!", description="command not found! might be in progress, "
                                                                          "check `sal! help` for the available "
                                                                          "commands", color=ctx.author.color)
        await ctx.send(embed=not_found)
    raise error```

[hardy yoke]

try commands.CommandNotFound?

[jade garden]

Anyone tell me what's the error?

[hardy yoke]

Although I wouldn't recommend that, it's spammy in servers that use a bunch of diff bots

[jade garden]

What I have to do?

[worldly bane]

#databases ? if that's mongodb

[small igloo]

||tbh idk, me not use mongo, use SQL, better xd||

umm what :V

[jade garden]

If I use now I have to change whole code

[hardy yoke]

You'll have more problems down the line if you continue to use pymongo instead of motor

(or sql)

[jade garden]

If I use motor I have to change whole code

[worldly bane]

nvm

[hardy yoke]

Sort of yes but it isn't too different. It's just an async version of pymongo

[jade garden]

Can I use pymongo for now 😩

[worldly bane]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance (error, discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound) is True:
        #do stuff
    else:
        raise error

try that

[slate swan]

it would raise a synrax error and no need for true

as youre doing if condition

[worldly bane]

I made that when I barely knew any python like 10 months ago 😔

[slate swan]

[worldly bane]

works anyways

[slate swan]

still useless

[small igloo]

🗿 wher the part to send unknown command

[worldly bane]

#do stuff

[small igloo]

bruh, i need the code to send unknown command ;-; not #do stuff

[feral jacinth]

you don’t have to use is True

[small igloo]

or i'll change the question (maybe): what decorator to shows what comand the user invoked

[rose birch]

what are u trying to do?

[small igloo]

so when a user invoke a command, and the command unknown (i mean not found) bot will send message "command not found" along with the command the user invoked

[worldly bane]

read the previous messages

[feral jacinth]

ctx.message

[worldly bane]

I don't spoonfeed TvT

[small igloo]

🗿 umm i use isinstance error-

[small igloo]

just decorator ;-;

[feral jacinth]

that doesn’t make sense have you seen the code sent by Hello66

you still have a command context in your hands for this event

so you can access the command message through ctx.message

[worldly bane]

^

[small igloo]

hmm, ||kinda make sense so|| lemme try

[feral jacinth]

u def didn’t study python to enough level before starting to work with dpy

[small igloo]

wait, will it also including the prefix or just command :V

[torn sail]

It will return a Message object

!d discord.Message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

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

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

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

[unkempt canyon]

exec

exec(object[, globals[, locals]])```
This function supports dynamic execution of Python code. *object* must be either a string or a code object. If it is a string, the string is parsed as a suite of Python statements which is then executed (unless a syntax error occurs). [1](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#id2) If it is a code object, it is simply executed. In all cases, the code that’s executed is expected to be valid as file input (see the section [File input](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/toplevel_components.html#file-input) in the Reference Manual). Be aware that the [`nonlocal`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#nonlocal), [`yield`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#yield), and [`return`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#return) statements may not be used outside of function definitions even within the context of code passed to the [`exec()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#exec "exec") function. The return value is `None`.

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Embed

class nextcord.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 v3.10)") 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://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Embed.Empty "nextcord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Yo mean this? @slate swan
https://imgur.com/eM3xGp3

[sharp lintel]

Unfortunately you need to do some API call for discord to return them messages to you

So unless you are storing discord messages

[boreal ravine]

there's no other way, unless they log peoples messages

[slate swan]

Ye i preferr using db🤌

[drowsy thunder]

I have a idea

[slate swan]

yup

[drowsy thunder]

Using a data base and a @client.listen event

[sharp lintel]

I'd suggest reviewing their ToS carefully in that case, to see if they allow you to store information like that

[maiden fable]

Discord allows storing messages but for a maximum of 30 days iirc

[drowsy thunder]

So on_message it will add the count to the database

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

I mean you're not going to store "their msgs" but you're just going to count how many msgs they sent

[drowsy thunder]

[slate swan]

If yk wut i mean

          count = 0
          for channel in ctx.guild.channels:
               for message in channel.history():
                    if message.author == user:
                         count += 1

you can solve your error if you learn how to indent properly 👁️

!indent

[maiden fable]

!indent

[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

@maiden fable can you check it cuz I tried many times and didnt work

[native onyx]

why don't you use vscode?

[slate swan]

i do

[drowsy thunder]

Because Im on tablet and I have no pc,and till now my dad didnt buy me one,but tablet seems good for me aaaa

[boreal ravine]

Make sure your iterating over a TextChannel

[slate swan]

?

ok

[native onyx]

oh, ok.

[drowsy thunder]

But how the FUCK can I fix my error

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[prisma spoke]

its an indentation error

fix the indents

[slate swan]

for channel in ctx.guild.channels:

?

[drowsy thunder]

Hmmm, so there must be no space before await?

[slate swan]

gimme dm link]

[drowsy thunder]

Ok

[prisma spoke]

in other words or simple words fix the spaces and tabs used

[slate swan]

why u using replit but

[slate swan]

im usingfor channel in ctx.guild.channels:

[prisma spoke]

@bot.command()
async def fm(ctx, channel: nextcord.TextChannel=None):
    channel = channel or ctx.channel
    messages = await channel.history(oldest_first=True,limit=1).flatten()
    await ctx.send(messages[0])```

this ^^ prints: ```py
<Message id=862529724579315733 channel=<TextChannel id=843120245908176898 name='general' position=0 nsfw=False news=False category_id=843120245908176897> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<User id=806458860662816825 name='Shadow' discriminator='9430' bot=False> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>```

now how do i get the message id from this

i am unable to iterate thro the printed msg cuz 'message object isnt iterable

[prisma spoke]

code please

[boreal ravine]

Use the id property on the message object you just got

[boreal ravine]

Use ctx.guild.text_channels instead

[prisma spoke]

oo tyty

and which property wud allow me to get the user id?

[boreal ravine]

[hasty pawn]

ctx.author.id

[prisma spoke]

returns the username#discrim

[prisma spoke]

no3

[boreal ravine]

use the id property on that

[hasty pawn]

????

[boreal ravine]

messages[0].author.id

[prisma spoke]

oh wait yea

[hasty pawn]

lmao

[slate swan]

hu'

[prisma spoke]

i dont need ctx.author.id here..

yes i need author.id

[prisma spoke]

ty ty

[hasty pawn]

yoou're using ctx?

ohhh nvm i see now

[prisma spoke]

no i am not

i mean yes but i dont need that

[slate swan]

why to use [0] here it works fine without it?

[boreal ravine]

messages is a list

[prisma spoke]

flatten returns a list

[boreal ravine]

Is it possible to send
Embed inside button interaction response?
If yes please explain

I mean
The bot should send a embed
On button click
Not saying that embed inside a button or button inside embed

[lyric tusk]

how can i make is so only open works

@client.command()
async def knock(ctx):
    def check(message):
        return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel

    embedk = nextcord.Embed(title="Somone is knocking on the door", description="type open to open the door")
    await ctx.send(embed=embedk)
        
    desc = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)


    embed = nextcord.Embed(description=desc.content, color=0xFFFF)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

Sure

Yea but
That would require embed in variable,
I tried doing it but upon clicking the button nothing pops

um-
I’ll just dm you something
And send the code later

[lyric tusk]

ok

[slate swan]

Not on my lap Rn
Sorry

[lyric tusk]

ty

[hasty pawn]

nextcord is just a bad fork tbh

[honest shoal]

disnake is nice

or just go back to dpy

[hasty pawn]

thats what i did

[placid skiff]

I tried something like 3-4 forks, included nextcord and Pycord, but disnake indeed is the best fork i've ever tried

[heavy folio]

dpy best

[steep estuary]

i am working with heroku, it is giving ffmpeg not found error how can i solve this ?

[heavy folio]

nextcord pycord 👎

[steep estuary]

i added ffmpeg in path

but how i can do that with heroku ?

Don't do it on_ready

Instead set the activity and status kwargs in the constructor of bot. py bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", activity=..., status=...)

[rose birch]

sup folks, not to barge into the current issue but I need some advice on how to do things. I have a price tracker where if several items dips below a threshold, it will send a message on discord.
currently that is hardcoded in with bot.loop.create_task(tracker(itemName, threshold)) but I want to be able to use !create tracker itemName to dynamically spin up new tasks. issue is, I'm not sure the correct implementation of this

creating the ! commands is not my issue, more so is there any best practices for spinning up new tasks to track new items/deleting specific tasks when I don't want to track the items anymore

[placid skiff]

uhm so essentially you want to delete a tracker? where those tracker are saved?

[rose birch]

yes! more specifically I want to stop the task completely if I do not want to track the price more

[dense swallow]

        )
```  'NoneType' object has no attribute 'create_webhook'

how do i fix this? when sending to that channel, it doesnt give me this error.. but when im trying to create a webhook it shows me this error

[junior verge]

What does this mean?

[quick gust]

show ur json file

[junior verge]

{}

[quick gust]

yeah it has to be

}``` iirc

[junior verge]

Just that?

Save and run?

[quick gust]

sure, try

[placid skiff]

What package do you use for the task? asyncio?

[dense swallow]

does anyone know why im getting this error?

[rose birch]

yep asyncio

[placid skiff]

And do you want to stop it or cancel it?

[rose birch]

are they not effectively the same thing?

[junior verge]

Want my code?

[rose birch]

I'm not sure what the difference but perhaps I want to completely stop the task

[quick gust]

no, its simple, there's just no data for that guild in the json file

[junior verge]

Yeah there isn't

[quick gust]

exactly

[placid skiff]

!d asyncio.Task.cancel

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.Task.cancel

cancel(msg=None)```
Request the Task to be cancelled.

This arranges for a [`CancelledError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.CancelledError "asyncio.CancelledError") exception to be thrown into the wrapped coroutine on the next cycle of the event loop.

The coroutine then has a chance to clean up or even deny the request by suppressing the exception with a [`try`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#try) … … `except CancelledError` … [`finally`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#finally) block. Therefore, unlike [`Future.cancel()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-future.html#asyncio.Future.cancel "asyncio.Future.cancel"), [`Task.cancel()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.cancel "asyncio.Task.cancel") does not guarantee that the Task will be cancelled, although suppressing cancellation completely is not common and is actively discouraged.

Changed in version 3.9: Added the *msg* parameter.

The following example illustrates how coroutines can intercept the cancellation request:

[quick gust]

there needs to be data for you to return

[junior verge]

so how to fix that uh?

[quick gust]

you add data lol

manually or through a command

if u wanna do it for a setprefix command

[junior verge]

yeah nvm

dw

[quick gust]

also I'd suggest using databases

[boreal ravine]

show me how you call create_webhook

[dense swallow]

webhook = await self.create_webhook(before.guild.id)
await webhook.send(embed=em)

@boreal ravine ^^

[boreal ravine]

self is none

[dense swallow]

its used in cogs

[dense swallow]

when i use it like self.get_logs_channel(before.guild.id) it works..

when converting to webhook, it gives me this error

[placid skiff]

Cog class has no method create_webhook .-.
get_logs_channel could be something declared somewhere

[azure scroll]

how to mention a voice channel?

[cloud dawn]

just a .mention

[placid skiff]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.mention

property mention```
The string that allows you to mention the channel.

[heavy radish]

Just curious. If I am using multiple files for code. Is it better to use COGs or to just from file import file. And whatever your answer is, what's the benefit of it

Brb

[junior verge]

no module named nextcord

How is that possible?

[slate swan]

#756327105389920306

If you're on phone you'll see something like #channelname

[slate swan]

Download it

[junior verge]

<#CHANNELID>

[junior verge]

I did

You mean like install it

[slate swan]

Ye, then uhm restart ur ide?

utc_time = calendar.timegm(date.utctimetuple())+1800
print(utc_time)```

this is my code
i want it to print 1800 more seconds from current time

[junior verge]

Uh okay

[slate swan]

Idk

[junior verge]

Well my code is on heroku so it should work

[slate swan]

Oh

[west juniper]

somebody help

[junior verge]

Doesn't have anything to do with my ide

[slate swan]

Then add "nextcord" to ur requierements.txt file

[junior verge]

aahhhh

[slate swan]

oh god i cant spell

[junior verge]

yeah thats prob it

[supple thorn]

Why are you saying this in the discord bot channel

[junior verge]

ty bro

[slate swan]

Yw

[slate swan]

#python-discussion

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.aliases

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.aliases

The list of aliases the command can be invoked under.

[junior verge]

I saw with nextcord you always need like a testserverid for slash commands, do you really need that? Aren't you able to just get slashcommands without that

[slate swan]

Eh wut u trying to do?

[rose birch]

so I dug into it for a little while and had almost got what I wanted(cheers). I renamed my task to SPAM for clarity and was able to list out all my tasks with currentTasks = asyncio.all_tasks() then printing that out. now I'm stuck, how do I cancel the SPAM task with the object given in currentTasks?

<Task pending name='SPAM' coro=<spamTest() running at c:\scripts\marketNotifier\marketNotifierDiscord.py:187> wait_for=<Future pending cb=[Task.task_wakeup()]> cb=[_ClientEventTask.task_wakeup()]> 
....
....

[slate swan]

No, iirc testserverid and/or test_guilds are made for testing slash commands (if u didnt use "testguilds" then you'll need to wait around 1h to use the commands)

Correct me if im wrong

[hoary cargo]

^

[junior verge]

uhh

Can I just remove aiohttp?

[hoary cargo]

bruh

why you have dpy, disnake and nextcord

all together

[junior verge]

nextcord is not even in my requrements.txt

[slate swan]

Because I’m gonna use it in discord.py :-:

[slate swan]

Oh k

[junior verge]

I removed disnake

[hoary cargo]

well, you sure have it already installed for some reason

[junior verge]

Yeah ill uninstall

[hoary cargo]

i don't get it why you installed all 3 in the first place lol

[junior verge]

alright uninstalled

[junior verge]

I just did pip freeze at some point and copied everything and put it in the requirements.txt

[hoary cargo]

keep just one, preferably disnake

[junior verge]

I just want to get slash commands man

its just not working for me

and I don't get it

[slate swan]

Use disnake 🤌

[junior verge]

Yeah but I just don't understand it with like the testserver ID etc

[slate swan]

:3

[junior verge]

Yeah but also after 1 hour test the commands?

[slate swan]

No

1h (or maybe less) for global

[junior verge]

What

Like imagine I do all the disnake stuff and don't include the test id server then I can instantly just see the slash command and test it

Yes

[west juniper]

what?

[maiden fable]

!d exec is what u should use

[unkempt canyon]

exec

exec(object[, globals[, locals]])```
This function supports dynamic execution of Python code. *object* must be either a string or a code object. If it is a string, the string is parsed as a suite of Python statements which is then executed (unless a syntax error occurs). [1](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#id2) If it is a code object, it is simply executed. In all cases, the code that’s executed is expected to be valid as file input (see the section [File input](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/toplevel_components.html#file-input) in the Reference Manual). Be aware that the [`nonlocal`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#nonlocal), [`yield`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#yield), and [`return`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#return) statements may not be used outside of function definitions even within the context of code passed to the [`exec()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#exec "exec") function. The return value is `None`.

discord_guild doesnt exist or the capitalization is wrong

[jade meadow]

no it does exist. (im using replit becuz reasons)

[prisma spoke]

norepl

[static beacon]

well that should be the only reason you're getting a keyerror

[slim ibex]

What reasons 🗿

[prisma spoke]

repl is bad

[jade meadow]

python blocked on school computers

[slim ibex]

There is no reason to use it over VSCode or other ide

[prisma spoke]

hein?

[static beacon]

unless you want to pursue coding but you dont have the right tools (like a windows / linux operating system)

even macos

[slim ibex]

I have all kinds of programming shit in my school computer

[gaunt ice]

repl has shared ips so its bad

[prisma spoke]

even if u wanna pursue dont use repl

[static beacon]

just not chromebook

[slim ibex]

Python, Rust, .NET, VS, VSCode, etc

[jade meadow]

they block everything on my school computer

[static beacon]

alternatives are good but i used to use replit for collaboration until i got my first pc

[jade meadow]

its only using my magic powers i found how to acess discord

[jade meadow]

even python

[slim ibex]

ask for an admin password?

[static beacon]

8 different overlapping proxies literally crashed my schools detection system

[slim ibex]

💀💀

[prisma spoke]

there are a list of reasons on why you shouldnt use repl

[static beacon]

which ive read and ive switched dw abt me

the amount of times ive used kill 1 is just incredible

[jade meadow]

i replaced the env in the program with the actual values, and there are no more errors but the program still doesnt work

# bot.py

        await message.channel.send('test')


client.run(TOKEN)

when i send test

its supposed to say test

as well

but nothing happens

what

what was that reply

[supple thorn]

Dw about it

[jade meadow]

why delete

[supple thorn]

So you don't see

[static beacon]

probably because you have the wrong values? idk

client.run(os.environ['token'])

no need for the variable

[supple thorn]

Does it print the message when it's ready?

[azure scroll]

what are "scopes" in discord dev portal?

[jade meadow]

no

its not printing anything

[supple thorn]

That's in replit right

[jade meadow]

yes

[supple thorn]

Why don't you click the run button

That's why

[static beacon]

just rename bot.py to main.py

and run

[jade meadow]
