discord-bots

[glacial echo]

all organized and categorized

[slate swan]

uh whats wrong with discord.py?

[glacial echo]

rn nothing

but it wasnt working for me personally when trying to learn slash commadns

[slate swan]

something is wrong with discord.py

yesterday i tried the script it worked fine. but today when i tried it it shows alot of errors

like idk what wrong

it says - "The owner of this website (discord.com) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website"

[supple thorn]

Kek

[slate swan]

i use replit so idk

[supple thorn]

[maiden fable]

Yea dpy slash commands are weird

[slate swan]

maybe after few days it might work :P

[inland crest]

why do i get this error?

[slate swan]

i might use studio code for the period

[maiden fable]

Remove ()

[inland crest]

kk

[slate swan]

bot.event don't need ()

[inland crest]

i didnt know tht srry

thanks

[slate swan]

hmmm. ok

[boreal ravine]

why do I subclass commands.Bot everytime I wanna make a discord bot creating an instance of it doesn't feel good anymore

[glacial echo]

sounds like ya bot got banned

was it a bot or a userbot

[slate swan]

bot.

i got ip banned lol

[glacial echo]

rip

perhaps you were breakign the TOS

[slate swan]

it says "temporarily"

soo idk really

[boreal ravine]

no

[boreal ravine]

you're rate limited, get rekt

[slate swan]

D:

[glacial echo]

doesnt dpy have built in rate limit protections

[boreal ravine]

it does

[slate swan]

"Currently, this limit is 10,000 per 10 minutes."

[boreal ravine]

but you can still get rate limited

[glacial echo]

i second their statement, get rekt

[slate swan]

10k pet 10m?

per*

[glacial echo]

1k per 1m

[boreal ravine]

you can even get rate limited if you're using a host

[glacial echo]

or like 15/s

[slate swan]

but its fine now cuz i am using vscode

[glacial echo]

where should i host a dsicrd bot?

should i just use my rpi

[slate swan]

idk free?

[glacial echo]

preferrably free

i dont wanna always use my laptop once i get a releasable bot

if you noticed, i have premium monetixation listed as a wanted feature

[vale wing]

What rpi

[glacial echo]

raspberry pi

[vale wing]

What version

I mean rpi 4 or what

[glacial echo]

oh

idk tbh it was a bday gift and its been a while since i needed to know

[vale wing]

I can say it is totally possible to host it there

[glacial echo]

haventused it in a year or two

[slate swan]

"user = bot.get_user(user_id)"???

[vale wing]

Don't have personal experience but I know persons that have done it on rpi 4

I host bots on VPS cause I don't have physical server

[slate swan]

i only make an instance of it because its just better organized and you can run methods one time each time the bot gets ran

[inner epoch]

Hey a que how can I use the bot to delete a message from certain guild?

P.S. I have the message id , guild id and channel id and yea my bot has been authorized to do so

@slate swan ?

[maiden fable]

U have two ways

[inner epoch]

Once I get the message object I can delete it for sure but how to get that

[maiden fable]

Either use fetch message and delete it or use the raw HTTP method (preferred)

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[slate swan]

use that

[maiden fable]

fetching is an overkill just to delete a message

[slate swan]

Bot only caches the second message after connection to the gateway soo

[maiden fable]

I would advice using the http methods

[inner epoch]

No no it wont be runned always ok so ill tell you why am gonna use it the thing is I have this bot which has button which do certain tasks so if I restart by bot the previous buttons become useless so am gonna run it only once so the buttons are resent

[slate swan]

i mean you can but thats still a request compared to my suggestion

[maiden fable]

U can use persistent views

[slate swan]

yeah theyre helpful

[maiden fable]

Fetching and deleting: 2 requests
Deleting directly with HTTP methods: 1 request

[inner epoch]

Oo....theres some way to handle that....let me checkout that

[slate swan]

fair point

[slate swan]

oh that sux for me

[inner epoch]

Thats a good idea btw thanks Ill checkout out the persistent views.....thanks @slate swan and @maiden fable again for the help!

[inner epoch]

Umm if you dont mind can you show me some example or maybe some link where I can check how exactly its done?

[maiden fable]

There's an example in the GitHub repo

[inner epoch]

Aye let me checkout that then

Got it thanks!

[acoustic sleet]

apparently discord.py dying so does anyone know any good alternatives?

[slate swan]

its not dying

it died a long time ago and was resurrected last month

[acoustic sleet]

oh

lmao ig im outdated ;-;

[formal basin]

What does this error mean like I’m pretty sure I’ve done it right

[acoustic sleet]

u have to do ctx.send

u can assign de sent msg to a variable so later u can edit or delete

[formal basin]

The same error popped up when I did that

[acoustic sleet]

like message = ctx.send(...)

[formal basin]

Ok

[acoustic sleet]

oh wait lemme check if i did smth else for my bot

ur using discord.py rite?

[formal basin]

Yes.

[acoustic sleet]

did u take ctx as an argument in the function?

[formal basin]

Yep

[acoustic sleet]

huh

[glacial echo]

cant beleive i almsot left my token on my public github page

smh

[acoustic sleet]

oof good catch

[acoustic sleet]

idk what could be wrong, sry

[formal basin]

Ok.

[glacial echo]

cant wait for a future where token regeneration is a privliged intent and requries approval every time

[acoustic sleet]

i mean, to regen a token u need to login to ur discord account

ig they figured thats enough security

[glacial echo]

issa joke

lol

[acoustic sleet]

oh lol

[glacial echo]

frick its past midnight

i was tryign to go to bed before then dammit

[maiden fable]

What happened?

[inner epoch]

The thing is I havent worked with classes yet so like for persistent view, is classes the only way?

[hollow carbon]

:(

[boreal ravine]

anyone want to help test my bot

[hollow carbon]

you can create a new acc

[slate swan]

You need the mark the on_member_join in a @bot.event, and the print("READY") should be in on_ready().

[slate swan]

Yes

[inner epoch]

Just that......well no worries then ill fix my code

[hollow carbon]

where is print("READY")

[inner epoch]

He meant >>Bot_is_online<<

[hollow carbon]

oh

[slate swan]

I meant the ```py
print("> Bot_is_online <")

[hollow carbon]

oh lol

Where i need to put on_ready()

Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the [`Client.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.guilds "discord.Client.guilds") and co. are filled up.

Warning

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is **not** guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

[slate swan]

hello, i'd ike to add a profanity check filter but it doesn't seems to work:

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg, ctx):
    if 'word' in msg.content:
        await msg.delete()
        await ctx.send("HUH??!?!/1")
    else:
        pass

I don't thing ctx can be passed in there.

oh but then how do the other bots do it then?

[vale wing]

It can't

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[kindred lodge]

idk!

[slate swan]

?

[kindred lodge]

idk python at all i actually want to make a discord bot so i joined this server

[slate swan]

Well, before creating your first discord bot you should learn the basics of python.

You might find this usefull:

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[kindred lodge]

not first uk i used node.js btw

[kindred lodge]

okie

[kindred lodge]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

This server doesn't support node.js.

[kindred lodge]

ye ik

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan copying features is fun but it's not fun when it doesn't work as intended

[kindred lodge]

xd

[slate swan]

Is it fun copying features?

[boreal ravine]

obviously

idk

[manic wing]

thats a discord feature

[boreal ravine]

disable them here ig

[kindred lodge]

its easy

[slate swan]

Doesn't have anything with coding or discord bots to do, please read the channel topic. 🤷

[kindred lodge]

go here and click that system messages channel and click wot u want

[kindred lodge]

ikr

[hollow carbon]

lol sorry

[abstract kindle]

hello everyone

what typically gets stored in the main file of a discord bot?

I used to restart my bot every time i ran new code, but im now learning about cogs and reloading them

so what should I have in my main file so I don't have to restart the bot

[boreal ravine]

• some imports
• your bot instance
• the run/start method

[abstract kindle]

and I can store everything else in cogs?

[boreal ravine]

yea

or another folder/file

[abstract kindle]

that's probably the most efficient way to do it, right?

having minimal stuff in the main file

Thank you

[boreal ravine]

yea

[unkempt canyon]

discord

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

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: discordpy.discord, disnake.discord

[slate swan]

you could send requests directly

[abstract kindle]

question..

i have a recursive function in one of my cogs, and when I unload it, the recursive function continues to loop

how do I end it?

[maiden fable]

Use http methods

[pliant gulch]

You should utilise one of the teardown methods of the Cog class, in this case cog_unload. What you can do is have a variable which your loop checks for, if it's False continue, else break. ```py
class Foo:
def init(self) -> None:
self.variable = False

def run(self) -> None:
    for i in range(10000):
        if self.variable is True:
            break
        
         # do stuff

``` Now all you need to do is define cog_unload in the namespace of your cog class, the signature would look like async def cog_unload(self) -> None, inside of this method you'd set self.variable to True

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_unload

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_unload

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

A special method that is called when the cog gets removed.

Subclasses must replace this if they want special unloading behaviour.

Changed in version 2.0: This method can now be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

[abstract kindle]

Ahhh i see

[pliant gulch]

👍

[abstract kindle]

Oh further question

Any way to start it back up? I current have the function set to start running on_ready

Any method that's called when the cog is loaded/reloaded?

[pliant gulch]

You can assume setup to be called everytime the cog is loaded, or reloaded

[abstract kindle]

Ohhhh!!!

[hollow carbon]

Did someone know how to use discord API

[abstract kindle]

Dang I'm still learning about all of this and finally understanding what certain parts of the code I've been writing fully do is amazing!

Before I had it calling the function on_ready, but now I won't even need that!

[pliant gulch]

Congrats

[delicate hornet]

how do i use threads?

[dull sorrel]

Could anyone help me with my discord python bot project?
I am trying to make a bot that will react with emojis to a specific person only on my command.

[drowsy thunder]

No one asked + No one cares

[slate swan]

nobody*

[slate swan]

yes

[drowsy thunder]

@slate swan good thing ur here,help me

[drowsy thunder]

Explain in depth please

[slate swan]

you forgot to put a colon after the closing bracket

[drowsy thunder]

Oo yea

[slate swan]

you forgot a colon

[drowsy thunder]

What lol

[slate swan]

wasnt necessary

but nvm

[drowsy thunder]

Yeah

[slate swan]

this channels slowmode is gonna be 10seconds in 5 more days watch

[drowsy thunder]

Awh shit

[final iron]

Why do you think?

[hardy yoke]

worth noting that emojis have very strict rate limits; might be better to use buttons instead. jus a thought

[drowsy thunder]

But rate limits help

To stop spam

Its their choice

Idc

[hardy yoke]

it is indeed discords choice to add discord rate limits

[drowsy thunder]

Yes,but the thing is,it helps

[slate swan]

Hey i am making a bot and want to know how to set a var with the response of the user ? thx !

uh.

[drowsy thunder]

Wdym duh

[drowsy thunder]

You mean set the users message in a database?

[slate swan]

no idea pls help

[hardy yoke]

doesn't look like you defined custom_id anywhere?
also that's not relaly something you should use on_ready for

[slate swan]

[drowsy thunder]

Its not a problem as its quite similar

[slate swan]

thanks ^^

[slate swan]

im trying to do on another cog .

[drowsy thunder]

Np man

[copper gulch]

is it just me or nexcord and discord.py is actually super almost desame

[hardy yoke]

it's a fork of discord.py, only minimal changes

[maiden fable]

Bruh these tutorials suck big time

[slate swan]

i have it in save.py and im trying to do in ticket.py

[final iron]

This tutorial is ass

[slate swan]

..

[hollow badger]

There's no need for that.

[slate swan]

rude

mods late

11min

anyone help me?

[hollow badger]

Moderators are volunteers, too.

[hardy yoke]

That on_ready will only run when the cog is loaded, I take it you want it to run whenever the button is clicked? @slate swan
also if the button is defined in cog x, cog y won't see it unless you import the button over.

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

ok how do i import

[slate swan]

from FILE import BUTTON_NAME

[junior verge]

What does this mean?

[slate swan]

await channel.send(embed=embed2,components=disnake.ui.Button(style=disnake.ButtonStyle.blurple, label="Create ticket",custom_id = "tictrigger"))

[slate swan]

It means that the embed needs have the value set.

[slate swan]

you made a invalid request, maybe you tried to sent an invalid embed?

[junior verge]

But I have it? huh

Want my code?

[slate swan]

Sure

[junior verge]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/eyoxegilop

[slate swan]

@slate swan where is button name here

😶

[slate swan]

I think it needs to be inside a full class for it to be able to never timeout.

[hardy yoke]

depends on your file structure and how the button is defined (you won't be able to import it if you're defining it into the .send like that, check out button classes)

but in either case, this won't work via on_ready. You need to find what your libraries event is called for button clicks (disnake uses on_button_click I think) or learn how button callbacks work.

[slate swan]

commandList probably just returns an empty string.

[junior verge]

Yeah, how do I fix that?

[slate swan]

button clases docs pls

[slate swan]

The continue makes it so that nothing after it runs, the commandList won't be set.

[junior verge]

The help command just returns 1 command in it

[slate swan]

How I can make a bot send message upon joining a guild?

[slate swan]

[junior verge]

Alright, let me try

[slate swan]

Why do you even have them?

[junior verge]

Wait so how do I fix the indentation

elif command.parent != None:
``` Remove that line then too?

[slate swan]

Yes, why did you even have it in the first place?

[junior verge]

Not to sure

Was a while ago

[hardy yoke]

a lesson in why you should always comment your code

[junior verge]

for cog in neededCogs:
            commandList = ""
            for command in self.client.get_cog(cog).walk_commands():
                if command.hidden:

                    

                    commandList += f"**{command.name}** - *{command.description}*\n"
            commandList += "\n"

            helpEmbed.add_field(name=cog, value=commandList, inline=False)
``` like that

[slate swan]

Why the if command.hidden:?

[junior verge]

Also not sure xD

[slate swan]

Do you have any hidden commands?

[junior verge]

Yeah I had

[slate swan]

it probably returns bools

[junior verge]

I wanted it to remove the commands I did not want

[slate swan]

Now you are doing the opposite.

[junior verge]

for cog in neededCogs:
            commandList = ""
            for command in self.client.get_cog(cog).walk_commands():
                
                    commandList += f"**{command.name}** - *{command.description}*\n"
            commandList += "\n"

            helpEmbed.add_field(name=cog, value=commandList, inline=False)

        await ctx.send(embed=helpEmbed)
``` so just that?

[slate swan]

Seems better

[junior verge]

Would that work?

[slate swan]

Test it

[junior verge]

I mean it works I guess, it sends only 4 though and .help 2 doesn't show a 2nd page

[slate swan]

🤷

[junior verge]

nvm thats my fault

nope its not

it just doesn't work

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

property commands```
A unique set of commands without aliases that are registered.

[slate swan]

why not just use this?

which it does include commands in cogs

[junior verge]

Uh dunno

I am just confused why it only shows that it has 1 page

When it should have 2

Got any idea

I think it was a typo

Getting this error now when doing .help 2

[slate swan]

@junior verge

embed = discord.Embed(title="My Commands", description="", color=inter.author.color)
        for i in os.listdir("./cogs"):
            if not i.endswith(".py"): continue
         
            cog = self.bot.get_cog(i[:-3])
            if not cog: continue
            cog_commands = cog.get_commands()
            if not cog_commands: continue
            embed.description += f"**{i[:-3]}**\n"
            for j in cog_commands: embed.description += f"`{j.name}`  "
            embed.description += "\n"
        embed.add_field(name="Total Commands", value=len(self.bot.all_commands))
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

this is a simple help command though 😔 you could make it work if you want

do

[slate swan]

read the error

[junior verge]

I did

But I have a value

[slate swan]

the event if the button is event is clicked has a member arg?

[pliant gulch]

Value cannot be an empty string, so set a default for cases where the value is an empty string

[slate swan]

to show who the button is clicked by

[slate swan]

it has a user property

[slate swan]

docs

[junior verge]

Where?

commandList?

[slate swan]

i know, it has the user property

!d discord.Interaction.user

no i want the event

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

huh

[pliant gulch]

Yea, you could do commandList or "default"

[slate swan]

!d disnake.on_interaction

i want the event + asking

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.on\_interaction

disnake.on_interaction(interaction)```
Called when an interaction happened.

This currently happens due to application command invocations or components being used.

Warning

This is a low level function that is not generally meant to be used.

New in version 2.0.

[junior verge]

Where I don't get you sorry

[pliant gulch]

Where you pass value

[junior verge]

commandList = ""
``` there

or where I add the field

[pliant gulch]

No, where you pass value to add_field

[junior verge]

helpEmbed.add_field(name=cog, value=commandList, inline=False)

What do I change there?

[pliant gulch]

Pass

This just ensures you don’t send the API an invalid payload

[vale wing]

Why the lowerCamelCase in python

[pliant gulch]

In your case, an empty string

[junior verge]

ye?

I don't get to what I change it to sorry

[pliant gulch]

[junior verge]

value=default?

[latent anchor]

im trying to make the bot add role and ive seen the api reference but i still dont get it

how do i do it?

[vale wing]

Are you using a library

[latent anchor]

what library

[vale wing]

Because if you do you need library docs not the API reference

[vale wing]

Discord.py or one of its forks or any other discord API wrapper

[junior verge]

@pliant gulch this is probably not it, but I just don't get it>

helpEmbed.add_field(name=cog, value=default, inline=False)

[latent anchor]

nah im not using that

im using replit

[vale wing]

Raw requests?

[latent anchor]

yes

[vale wing]

Well that's interesting but why not use the lib

[azure scroll]

i am making a music but but i am getting an error when i try to get the voice channel id from mongodb and connect to the channel.
Code:

@commands.command()
    async def play(self, ctx, url : str, *, channelIndex):
        vc = col.find_one({"_id" : ctx.author.id}, {"_id":0, "voiceChannels":1})

        voiceChannels = await discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.voice_channels, name = vc['voiceChannels'][channelIndex])
        if (voiceChannels is None):
            return await ctx.send("There is no vc set")
        voice = await discord.utils.get(self.client.voice_clients, guild = ctx.guild)
        await voiceChannels.connect()```
error:
```python
voiceChannels = await discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.voice_channels, name = vc['voiceChannels'][channelIndex])
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

[vale wing]

vc is None most likely

[junior verge]

Does anyone else know what I need to do

[azure scroll]

but it has data

_id:924633928919289946
voiceChannels: Array
    0:955771351745069106
    1:924633928919289950```

[vale wing]

Print the vc

[latent anchor]

cuz im using chromebook and idk how to download it

[azure scroll]

ok

[junior verge]

@vale wing Do you know?

[vale wing]

You have py interpreter right?

[vale wing]

You need to provide a title and description of embed field, they can't be empty

[junior verge]

So what do I put in my string, ```py
helpEmbed.add_field(name=cog, value=commandList, inline=False)

[latent anchor]

do u mean the terminal

[vale wing]

Your commandList is an empty string most likely and that's not allowed

[latent anchor]

from linux

[junior verge]

Yeah that is so

[vale wing]

The python IDLE

[junior verge]

But i don't know what to put in it?

[vale wing]

You can't have a value of empty string

Put anything but not empty

[junior verge]

Like what

[latent anchor]

no i didnt download it

[vale wing]

"word"

[latent anchor]

should i use it

[junior verge]

uh okay

[vale wing]

Download it and install, don't forget to put the checkmark on "add Python to PATH"

[junior verge]

I will try

[vale wing]

And you can develop locally

[latent anchor]

ok

[slate swan]

what type of question is that

[vale wing]

If you still would like to use replit, run pip install discord.py in its terminal

[slate swan]

"are you using a library" ofc he is where else is he checking the libraries docs?

[azure scroll]

U were right. Its None

[vale wing]

Turns out he didn't use a library

[vale wing]

Bru

[azure scroll]

so how do i solve this?

[junior verge]

My commandList is not empty

[vale wing]

Then just provide it?

[junior verge]

for cog in neededCogs:
            commandList = ""
            for command in self.client.get_cog(cog).walk_commands():

                    commandList += f"**{command.name}** - *{command.description}*\n"
            commandList += "\n"

            helpEmbed.add_field(name=cog, value=commandList, inline=False)

        await ctx.send(embed=helpEmbed)

[junior verge]

How?

[vale wing]

You just gotta make sure you don't set an empty string

[rustic coral]

Guys, my bot is only online when I run. When I looked uptimerobot, it show this. someone pls help

[junior verge]

Yeah but what do I put in it then?

[vale wing]

And I am not sure I can help with that

Whatever you want lol

[junior verge]

What

Then it will do this

[rustic coral]

It is saying it is blacklisted. pls someone help

[vale wing]

Oh god replit hosting

[rustic coral]

[junior verge]

Don't use replit

[slim ibex]

[dusky pine]

replit is blocked from uptimerobot now

[rustic coral]

what's that?

[junior verge]

@vale wing

[latent anchor]

why not using replit

[vale wing]

Virtual Private Server

[slim ibex]

virtual private server

[vale wing]

Check pins

[rustic coral]

how can I use it?

[vale wing]

Btw should I post a tutorial here of how to setup ubuntu server for hosting bots

[slim ibex]

make a server, push the files to the servers file system and run

[rustic coral]

yes pls

[junior verge]

I can't?

[slim ibex]

vultr is a cheap and very good VPS

[slate swan]

as simple as that

[slim ibex]

used it for my old bot

[latent anchor]

uhh which one

[slate swan]

how much

[vale wing]

I use amazon aws (free year xd)

[slim ibex]

there is some linux setup and commands but its not that much

[junior verge]

I use heroku with git and github

[vale wing]

You will understand, it is about hosting methods

[slate swan]

ok

[vale wing]

Bad as well

[slate swan]

can u help me

[azure scroll]

i still need help for this

[junior verge]

wsp

[slate swan]

im getting error

[azure scroll]

[vale wing]

#discord-bots message

[junior verge]

Can you help me fix my error?

[rustic coral]

Can I use heroku then instead of replit?

[junior verge]

if you want

[vale wing]

#discord-bots message

[junior verge]

A vps would be better though

[slate swan]

@junior verge@azure scroll

[slim ibex]

Heroku is bad for bots

[vale wing]

Check these two messages everyone who uses heroku/replit

[slate swan]

have u tryed

[slim ibex]

Yes

[junior verge]

ah, you got a procfile and a requirements.txt?

[slate swan]

not requirements.txt

[junior verge]

you need one

[slate swan]

oh whats inside it

[slim ibex]

It spins up a web server and it gets hairy from there on out

[junior verge]

pip freeze and put it in a requirements.txt

as of now i am not dealing with this specifically

i want the bot to be able to enter and exit vcs only

[oak warren]

well we dont know the source of the music

thats why !ytdl

[rustic coral]

Guys, I don't have money to buy a vps. What will I do?

[oak warren]

get a job ig

[rustic coral]

I am 14

[velvet compass]

What do you mean "as of now"? Since we know you asked for help previously with a ToS breaking project, its safe to assume any help we give is also towards that project.

[slate swan]

Ig u need a file named runtime.txt or Procfile

[oak warren]

well you can still get a job ig

[boreal ravine]

Use AWS, it has a free trial for a year although it requires you to have a CC to get the trial

[slate swan]

you need a requirements.txt with all the packages specified

[slate swan]

okay thanks :)

[slate swan]

no probs ping me if you need help

sure

[azure scroll]

thats something unrelated to what i am working with right now

and which ToS breaking project are you talking about?

[slate swan]

You're using youtube_dl?

[azure scroll]

not now

[boreal ravine]

Insert data into your database?

[azure scroll]

i just want to bot to enter and exit a vc

[slate swan]

Ig you're looking for this

[azure scroll]

thanks

[velvet compass]

So you used ytdl to get your music for your music bot....and now you want help with that music bot.

[azure scroll]

no

i have no "ytdl"

[slate swan]

then what do u use

[velvet compass]

In your own words "not now" implying that it was used previously.

[azure scroll]

no

[slate swan]

@azure scroll you should just tell, in reagarding what you need help for
if it's against Tos, they'll say to stop ;-;

[slate swan]

[azure scroll]

i have never used or dealt with it

in the past or present

and i won't be asking ytdl help here

[slate swan]

no need of arguing with the mod?

[azure scroll]

and this is my first project. u r probably mistaking me for someone else

[slate swan]

@slate swan how to get req for my current project

[slate swan]

the what?

i have a folder

[azure scroll]

i am not arguing, i am just stating my point that there is no need of creating a big fuss over a small thing

[slate swan]

Heroku and github or

[slate swan]

bruh?

[slate swan]

Lmao

[dull sorrel]

Ashley, could I DM you?

[slate swan]

just write the name of the packages you pip install them with, like

aiohttp
requests
tensorflow

if you want a specific version, do packagename==version
(or run your_venv_keyword freeze > requirements.txt if you are in a venv)

..

[slim ibex]

it isn’t hard to make a requirements.txt 🗿

[slate swan]

nope

lol

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

😂

so i need to write

[slim ibex]

literally do pip freeze requirements.txt

[slate swan]

I wrote that

[latent anchor]

how do i download python on chromebook

[slate swan]

i did

it show error

ERROR: No matching distribution found for pywin32==303
! Push rejected, failed to compile Python app.

[slate swan]

but wont this list all the packages installed within pip

ok

[slate swan]

#❓｜how-to-get-help #python-discussion

[slim ibex]

Oh wait no

You should use a venv if you aren’t already doing so

[slate swan]

?

.

[slate swan]

I wrote that got ignored

huh/.

ok so tell the steps

[slim ibex]

pip freeze > requirements.txt

[slate swan]

edited msg

[boreal ravine]

==version*

[slate swan]

that will list all the packages within pip 😔

[slim ibex]

rip

yeah this is why you want a venv

!pip pipenv

[unkempt canyon]

pipenv v2022.3.23

Python Development Workflow for Humans.

[slate swan]

yes see it again

[slate swan]

you need to make it a string

i.e aiohttp == "0.0.0"

[boreal ravine]

really? in railway we just do ```py
discord.py==1.7.3

[slate swan]

No need

railway station

[slate swan]

Yep

[slate swan]

nah requirement files iirc need it

[boreal ravine]

?

[slate swan]

try it, it would probably raise a unknown module error or missing import

python3 -m venv env-env

try and except blocks always need to be a pair

[slate swan]

I mean the version should be an int not a str

Idk

[boreal ravine]

i am, my bot does that already

[slate swan]

so a try statement needs a except hence the name try except code blocks

indents

[boreal ravine]

Unindent except

[slate swan]

...

a fellow sublime user

lol

yall mad sublime takes 40mb of ram

we dont talk about it

[slate swan]

If they used a good editor , the editor would have told them the solution itself

[slate swan]

it works fine 🤭

same goes for you

the spacing

[slate swan]

its not the editor

try except

• you can install pyright to sublime ;))

idk ask okimii, I'm gonna cry

[slate swan]

good editors support syntax highlighting and debug right when writing the code you know

!try

[unkempt canyon]

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[slate swan]

so does sublime?

[boreal ravine]

no

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

i thought it was the alias smh

!indents

[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

[slate swan]

it should be in the same level

[slate swan]

doesnt seem like that in their case ( https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/343944376055103488/956165286095106078/unknown.png?width=698&height=393 )

[boreal ravine]

It means from py try: ... except Exception: ... you do ```py
try:
...
except Exception:
...

[slate swan]

sublime wont let you know the errors without extensions until the runtime

[slate swan]

you do know thats the color theme right?

nope

[boreal ravine]

No

move it backwards, not forwards

[slate swan]

im talking about the editor shouting when you make a dumb mistake

[cold sonnet]

thanks for the token

[spring flax]

delete this

[maiden fable]

VSC takes a GB of RAM

[slate swan]

its not the editor but your linter?

like this

[slate swan]

and pycharm takes 1.5gb

[cold sonnet]

good

[spring flax]

there's no way to check if a member has DM's closed without DMing him right?

[boreal ravine]

[slate swan]

no need of all that env i just removed the error causing requirement

[boreal ravine]

nope

[slate swan]

No it should be```py
try:
...
except:
...

[cold sonnet]

nope

[slate swan]

bruh

[slate swan]

🤦‍♂️ i did it for a reason.

[slim ibex]

That if statement should be in the try block

[slate swan]

again, read the chats above.

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

thats what even users do

try:
   print("hi")
except:
   print("hello")

[spring flax]

what do you mean?

[cold sonnet]

indents and await sent.delete()

[slate swan]

intellisense*

[slate swan]

nothing

try if except huh?

new syntax?

You can't have a if statement between the try and except.

[slate swan]

https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/how-to-get-visual-studio-code-like-intellisense-in-sublime-text/42956 read this tho

[slate swan]

already have pyright lmao

[slim ibex]

💀

Move the if inside the try

[cold sonnet]

send undefined

await sent.delete()

[slate swan]

meh, sublime is still trash

no reason lmao

[cold sonnet]

did u say meh

[slate swan]

What's that random \̀ on line 26?

[slate swan]

not targeted to the person named meh

[cold sonnet]

meh

[slate swan]

why wouldnt it?

Doesn't it give you an error?

its just not highlighted because of his color theme

deployed now how to run on heroku

[cold sonnet]

what

I pointed out it's undefined

[slate swan]

What is it?

[slate swan]

^

[cold sonnet]

I just pointed it out!

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

bro how is it not defined

[vale wing]

The token

[slate swan]

youre trying to call a set obj

[cold sonnet]

await send.delete() what's send

[slate swan]

Do u have runtime.txt file?

[vale wing]

Also @bot.commands wut

[slate swan]

fair point it should be sent

[slate swan]

no.

[vale wing]

Oh k

[slate swan]

what do i need to put in

[slate swan]

U need it, it tells heroku to use "the language inside the file" whatever that is

[slate swan]

ok

language + version

python-3.10.3

[cold sonnet]

doesn't heroku only need procfile

[slate swan]

Nope

[slate swan]

i hab

?

[cold sonnet]

god zaidorox how many times

[slate swan]

i mean he should learn py basics b4 learning modules

[slate swan]

only "backports" ?

[slate swan]

stack overflow exists so why learn to code

yes lol

[slate swan]

I mean, add it too

[cold sonnet]

your prefix is +

[slate swan]

what are they

[cold sonnet]

not _

[slate swan]

where do i get them!??!

ok

[cold sonnet]

try +name

[slate swan]

rip yt + stack overflow = 💀

[cold sonnet]

such false naming

[slate swan]

nice

@slate swan

what do i put?

[cold sonnet]

and it's member.add_roles, not role

[slate swan]

add backports to your reqs.txt

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

ok

[cold sonnet]

didn't even remove self

did u

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

[cold sonnet]

nah

[slate swan]

🤣

jk

[cold sonnet]

no

I see it

async def name

[paper sluice]

[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.

[slate swan]

!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.

[slate swan]

dont mind ik many useless

proc file = worker: python main.py

@slate swan

MASS PING

Wait lemme get my glasses i cant see ur codes

looking for my glasses

[cold sonnet]

cap

[slate swan]

..

@slate swan dont read that

i just copied whole github website

there

Oh thank god lmao

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hakeyemede

read this

It looks ight

i did this lmao

[slate swan]

😭thats why i couldnt find my glasses

[slim ibex]

is that all your dependencies?

[slate swan]

lol

[slim ibex]

you probably don’t even use 1/4 of those for the project

this is why you need a venv

[slate swan]

yu

do this cause error?

[slim ibex]

?

[slate swan]

^

[slim ibex]

You are basically saying those packages are required but they aren’t used in the project

you are going based off your globally installed packages

You need to isolate your dependencies to one encironment

[slate swan]

ok

[slim ibex]

!pip pipenv

[unkempt canyon]

pipenv v2022.3.23

Python Development Workflow for Humans.

[slate swan]

i cant find virtual env commands

@slate swan do u mean

[slate swan]

yeah

[slim ibex]

does requirements.txt support semantic versioning?

[slate swan]

huh?

some complex words

[slate swan]

alr

IM RATE LIMITED!!

[slim ibex]

It’s a versioning scheme/convention

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

sad, it should go after 5 mins

..

np gg

deploying\

[slate swan]

ERROR: No matching distribution found for backports

😡

🥲 💀

[slate swan]

f

do some web search 😔

[gaunt ice]

hm

[slate swan]

🙌

[slim ibex]

What are you deploying on?

[slate swan]

googling errors is very bad expe for me

[slate swan]

HEROKU

[slim ibex]

Don’t host bots on heroku…

[slate swan]

stop

my wish!!!

[slim ibex]

?

[slate swan]

Not even matching the search stack overflow god

google

[paper sluice]

does type hinting this, change the type?

async def func(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  ...

cool

[slate swan]

ig*

[slate swan]

no?

[velvet compass]

Type hints are just hints, it won't convert something

[slate swan]

they are just for the readability

you need to use converters

for actual conversion of data types

;-;

[paper sluice]

so every arg already all attr of discord.Member?

ok

[slate swan]

ash i cant find something

[paper sluice]

the ones where they tag

[slate swan]

sadly

[velvet compass]

That is saying that func is expecting an input of a discord.Member

[slate swan]

dpy converts the string to the obj

[slate swan]

very sad

[dense swallow]

if a server doesnt have an avatar it returns None.. so how can i display another image in place of that in set_thumbnail

[slate swan]

Check if it returns None, and if it does use another.

[dense swallow]

i cant use or ?

[slate swan]

no

[dense swallow]

url = ctx.guild.icon.url or "link"

[slate swan]

Like```py
if member.avatar:
embed.set_thumbnail()
else:
embed.set_thumbnail()

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

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

For regular members this is just their avatar, but if they have a guild specific avatar then that is returned instead.

New in version 2.0.

[dense swallow]

        if ctx.guild.icon.url is None:
            em.set_thumbnail(url="https://logos-world.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Discord-Logo.png")
        else:
            em.set_thumbnail(url=ctx.guild.icon.url)
``` this works too right?

[slate swan]

Sure, test it.

I don't think ctx.guild.icon.url is a thing, but alright.

it is

Great

.

[boreal ravine]

it is in v2.0 and above

@unkempt canyon's doc command uses master docs

icon_url was deprecated in 2.0

[slate swan]

That's sad.

[dull sorrel]

Well, then. How do I do it?

[dull sorrel]

I have wrote a context.
But I am confused as to how to add the reaction or reply to the text with emoji.

[slate swan]

It is but the problem is if the guild doesnt have the icon it will raise an error

[placid skiff]

what do you want to do? show your code till now

[outer flint]

can I manipulate the size of the embedMaker?
for example I would like to make so the image is bigger and maybe accept .dds images

[placid skiff]

you can't

[dull sorrel]

I haven't wrote anything to be honest.

[placid skiff]

D_D

[outer flint]

I can't to neither?

[placid skiff]

embeds are discord models pre created, you can only set their parameters

[dull sorrel]

@client.command
async def emoji(ctx, arg):
"""

:param #Send some x emoji to y.:

"""

[outer flint]

ok

[dull sorrel]

This is all I wrote lol.

[dull sorrel]

What to do next?

[slate swan]

You want to get the server's emotes?

!d discord.Guild.emojis

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.emojis

All emojis that the guild owns.

[placid skiff]

uhm there are some difference between custom roles and unicode emojis, what the args will be?

if it will be bot you'll need a lot of checks, you will need to use regex to check for custom emoji

[dull sorrel]

I just need to send one emoji as of now.
Whenever I tell the bot to text, it will reply with emoji.

This is what I want to do.

[placid skiff]

Yeah but server emojis and unicode emojis are completely two different things

[dull sorrel]

Not server emojis.

Unicode.

[slate swan]

then make a list? And use random.choice? Idk what you really want

[fresh iron]

Traceback (most recent call last): line 2, in <module> from discord.ext import commands ImportError: cannot import name 'commands' from 'discord.ext' (unknown location)

[dull sorrel]

Suppose I tell the bot to reply to the other person's text with an emoji.

[placid skiff]

lol making a list of all unicode emoji will be a very long list
There are some package which implements unicode emoji, he could find one of them

[dull sorrel]

I just want to send 1 emoji. ;-;

[slate swan]

Didnt know that 🤭

[dull sorrel]

Just tell me this, how do I make the bot to respond to someone with my command?

[fresh iron]

does anyone know why i keep having this error Traceback (most recent call last): line 2, in <module> from discord.ext import commands ImportError: cannot import name 'commands' from 'discord.ext' (unknown location)

[slate swan]

Do u have discord.py installed?

[placid skiff]

if you just want to send a specific emoji you can do like this:

@bot.command()
async def emoji(ctx: Context):
  ctx.send(":smile:")

[dull sorrel]

How do I send this to a specific person?

[placid skiff]

i will do a test now

!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**.

[slate swan]

its a coro

anyways bye

[placid skiff]

Sorry master xD

[placid skiff]

@dull sorrel this will send a private message to an user

[slate swan]

For example ```py
import random
array = [] #list that has emotes/or use an api/library to get 'emotes'

await ctx.reply(random.choice(array))#'random.choice chooses 1 element from the list ```

[fresh iron]

import discord 
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@bot.command(name="hello")
async def hello_world(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send("Hello, world!")

whats wrong with this code??

[dull sorrel]

I want to send in the server not privately.

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Message.reply then this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reply

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

A shortcut method to [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") to reply to the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message").

New in version 1.6.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") or [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[slate swan]

[hoary cargo]

[placid skiff]

i wanna see what he will do with this so don't reply to him with the code please D_D

[fresh iron]

.

[dull sorrel]

Also I want to match the author.id, where do I add this?

[placid skiff]

match the author.id? wdym?

[slate swan]

@fresh iron

[fresh iron]

isn't it just discord

pip install discord

[slate swan]

Nope

[fresh iron]

hmmm

[slate swan]

its discord.py

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v1.7.3

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[hoary cargo]

wonder what you installed

[fresh iron]

then wtf did i install instead

[slate swan]

Lmao idk

[hoary cargo]

!pypi discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord v1.7.3

A mirror package for discord.py. Please install that instead.

[slate swan]

virus

Mirror

[fresh iron]

C:\Users\ramzi>pip install discord.py
Requirement already satisfied: discord.py in c:\users\ramzi\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (1.7.3)

i believe i have that installed too

[slate swan]

Well idk

Ur code is fine

[hoary cargo]

Uninstall both and install dpy again

[slate swan]

[fresh iron]

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\ramzi\OneDrive\Desktop\Ramsaist.py", line 2, in <module> from discord.ext import commands ImportError: cannot import name 'commands' from 'discord.ext' (unknown location)

okay

[dull sorrel]

To reply with emoji to the specific person?

[hoary cargo]

The problem might be ur ide and where it install dpy

[fresh iron]

do you know what that can be fixed through

[jolly basalt]

not really a discord.py question but, can anybody suggest some nice math solving api's

and preferably, it should be free

[velvet compass]

Wolfram Alpha maybe
