[quaint epoch]

wow i should've done this long ago

[static beacon]

and not filter butt

[boreal ravine]

just reminding you that it's optional 😡

[quaint epoch]

.bm

[keen lynx]

[quaint epoch]

thank you

[static beacon]

it filtered "it" and "blo"

[quaint epoch]

i tried to find a package for this but only found a couple that did not support leetspeek

[slate swan]

arent you experienced enough to show examples with it?

[boreal ravine]

not on mobile

[slate swan]

your point?

[manic wing]

examples of what?

[slate swan]

examples with return annotations

[manic wing]

need me to teach you okimii?

[slate swan]

you do know i already know return annotations? you should use your scrollwheel its useful👍

[boreal ravine]

i'm just your average skid on mobile, i don't know what annotations are

[manic wing]

unfortunately my cellular device does not have a scroll wheel

[slate swan]

why annotations are?

[slate swan]

swipe up

[final iron]

iirc okimii is talking about

def my_func() -> str:
    return "my string"

[boreal ravine]

obviously

[slate swan]

yes return annotations

and kayle knows hes just too lazy/hes on mobile

[final iron]

Then why did you say you don't know what annotations are 🗿

[boreal ravine]

lazy

[grim oar]

Erotic

[boreal ravine]

Wrong channel?

not a valid url

[zinc otter]

I suppose that the webhook is taking input from a text channel where someone said "lol"?

Oh ok

You did elses with exceptions

You should try doing

try:
# Code
except ValueError:
# Code for ValueError
except Exception:
# Code for any other error

That should work

[cold sonnet]

that's interesting

controlling the discord bot from a panel seems like such a creative idea

[zinc otter]

ye that's pretty cool

thx

Nothing pops out?

You replaced the comments with the code to execute right?

It doesn't pop out no message box?

[slate swan]

how to set embed color in hex format?

[zinc otter]

that's strange

[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.

[zinc otter]

Try doing a message box outside all the exceptions to see if code is running correctly

Like a debugging message

I don't think so

try removing the Exception

At the second except

And btw try putting the except with no Exception at the end of the exceptions

I don't know if I'm explaining well

[final iron]

How about no

Using a bare except is a terrible idea

[zinc otter]

Why is it

[slim ibex]

Do NOT do this

[slate swan]

its only bad if you catch and unknown error and ignore it but if you catch it and do an action your fine

[slim ibex]

it catches BaseExceptions and Exceptions

and you generally don’t want to catch the system exiting exceptions

[zinc otter]

Ohh like KeyboardInterrupt

[hallow tangle]

how to obtain interaction endpoint url?

[slim ibex]

please except the exact error

if you want to handle multiple errors, do multiple except blocks or

except (ExceptionsHere)

[slate swan]

are the exception groups out?

[slim ibex]

idk

[hallow tangle]

anyone?

I’m guessing HTTPException

[hallow tangle]

no one replied, sad

[south jetty]

Can someone help me,
I am trying to code my ticket bot to get the list of users that had sent a message in the channel which will need a db
But I am not quite sure on how to do it

[manic wing]

sounds like a cool idea, whats the issue?

[south jetty]

I don't have an idea on how its done.
I have browsed through but have no clue

I thought someone here has experience on this and could explain

[manic wing]

whats your experience with discord bots?

this may prove to be harder than necessary without experience

[slate swan]

cant you just use TextChannel history?

[south jetty]

?

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[slate swan]

Let me find it

Hm seems AsyncIterator has been removed

I think you can just do

messages = [m async for m in channel.history(limit=...)]

To get a flattened list of messages

[manic wing]

you can flatten it just fine

[south jetty]

Then to get the users that have sent a message in the channel

[lost lichen]

how can i send a message to a specific channel ID?

disnake

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[manic wing]

bot.get_channel(id) returns a Messageable object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.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.

[slate swan]

Just use channel.send() after that.

If you don't have it cached, then you have to some unconventional stuff with HTTPClient, which is against the design language of dpy.

[lost lichen]

so ```py
channel = self.bot.get_channel(id)
channel.send(embed=embed)

im running it in a cog

[slate swan]

Try it

[manic wing]

send is a coroutine aka you await it

[slate swan]

Might wanna check if channel is None too, which is the case if it's not cached.

[manic wing]

fetch_channel exists

[lost lichen]

how does the cache work

as in why would the channel not be cached

under what circumstance does it become cached

[manic wing]

you dont want to get in to that

[slate swan]

It's an API call, I tend to advise people not to make them unnecessarily.

[pliant gulch]

I was assuming that AsyncIterator was only for backwards compatability, now that is is removed does that mean discord.py did a version bump?

[manic wing]

its the only option second to get_channel...? what unconventional stuff were you proposing to do with HTTPClient?

all the functions you would want to do would be available to you through the bot

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/http.py#L590-#L600

[unkempt canyon]

discord/http.py line 590

def send_message(```

[lost lichen]

nice, thanks! worked! i was doing a wrong attribute

[manic wing]

good luck passing params

[slate swan]

It's not that complicated yk..

It's just a dict

*NamedTuple

[pliant gulch]

Kind of weird for it to be a NamedTuple imo

[manic wing]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/abc.py#L1403-1418

[slate swan]

How?

[unkempt canyon]

discord/abc.py line 1403

with handle_message_parameters(```

[manic wing]

bit of a pain in the ass having to use this as a user

[pliant gulch]

Because you could just make a "master" dict, then add all your keys, etc

[manic wing]

a singular api call probably isnt worth the chaos you would need to pass that shit

[slate swan]

"All that shit"?

You literally only actually need params.payload

And it can be a {'content': ...} dict

[slate swan]

Maybe Danny wanted the file cleanup

With the __exit__() method of the named tuple.

[manic wing]

different story for files

[slate swan]

How?

Just construct the named tuple with files being a list of discord.File objects

[pliant gulch]

It seems to me, the main reason of doing this was for form data, but an extra parameter in the signature would've done just fine tbh

Not that it matters much although

[slate swan]

But like I said, still unconventional. Not a major PITA tho.

[manic wing]

you're right, it isnt all that hard to pass your own payload, but its unconventional and probably wouldnt be worth the hassle to just make a singular api call

considering more than most of the people you would recommend the 'unconventional stuff with HTTPClient' wouldnt understand the half of what is going on

[slate swan]

No actually, I don't know why I brought up the http client. I don't generally recommend it at all.

[pliant gulch]

discord.py's RESTful interface could've been a lot better

One of pythons selling points is hackablity imo

It would've been niced to have the option to use the HTTPClient in a sane way

[slate swan]

Well, it's internal so I guess we all have to just sit back and cry

[pliant gulch]

Don't even get me started on the O(n) message cache

😔

[slate swan]

At least me, I would have loved a more stateless client.

[slate swan]

I still don't understand lookup complexity or whatever it's called so this makes zero sense to me

I've never actually tried to learn about it

I might now

[pliant gulch]

O(n) means linear, time. Time is dependent on dataset size

There for if we have 10 oranges, it takes me longer time to count them, compared to 5 oranges

[slate swan]

Oh yeah definitely, ConnectionState._get_message() is atrocious.

[pliant gulch]

discord.py could've had an O(1) message cache, meaning constant time. Therefor if I had 10 oranges, it would take same time to count them as the 5 oranges from earlier

dicts are ordered, they could've just impl __setitem__ to pop

[slate swan]

 def _get_message(self, msg_id: Optional[int]) -> Optional[Message]:
     return utils.find(lambda m: m.id == msg_id, reversed(self._messages)) if self._messages else None

Danny wtf

[pliant gulch]

It's cause of the deque

Should've used dict for that juicy hash map

[slate swan]

At least he reverses it

[pliant gulch]

And they are ordered!!!

My own impl already has it 😼

[rocky trench]

how do I check if a channel is a textchannel?

[final iron]

Maybe isinstance

!d isinstance

[unkempt canyon]

isinstance

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

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

You ever work on something dumb for way too long

i think i finally got my dash generator to actually get equal length strings for discord

test - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - test
longer test - - - - - - - - - - test
even longer test - - - - - - -test
$sym0Ls[]&stuff - - - - - -test

[final iron]

Willing to share the code?

[dull terrace]

from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw
discord_font = ImageFont.truetype("WhitneyBook.ttf", 1600, encoding="unic")
def dash_gen(string):
    length = discord_font.getsize(string)[0]
    while length < 16820:
        if length < 16820:
            string += " "
            length += 362
        if length < 16709:
            string += "-"
            length += 582
    return string

then i got a big ass dictionary with all the character sizes

[final iron]

Interesting

[dull sorrel]

await message.channel.send("LOL",
What argument should I add to mention a specific user?

[final iron]

You wouldn't use an argument

[dull terrace]

<@USER_ID>

[dull sorrel]

How about replying?

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the member.

[dull terrace]

i think there may be an ! in there somewhere

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.reply

[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`.

[final iron]

It's a different method

[dull sorrel]

I am not sure I understand. How do I add the author id?

Also could you complete the code, please?

[final iron]

!d discord.Member.id gives you the id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.id

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

[dull sorrel]

I want to enter the id myself.

[final iron]

Like have the command take an id param?

[final iron]

Not going to spoonfeed you code

That's not what this server is for

[dull sorrel]

xD

I want to input the author.id myself.

How do I do that?

[final iron]

Like in a command?

[dull sorrel]

Yes.

I want to know how to do both.

[final iron]

Just make an id param in the command function

[slate swan]

If you typehint the argument as discord.User, it supports both id and user mention

[dull sorrel]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

if message.author == client.user:

    return


if message.content.startswith("LOL") and message.author.id == :

    await message.channel.send("LOL",)

This is my code.

[slate swan]

That's not a command, it's an event.

[dull sorrel]

I was hoping to learn commands too.

[slate swan]

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/04-pong/

[river swift]

!d discord.Member.id gives you the id

How do I put the messages of a bot in an embed message, could someone help me?

[slate swan]

Use the discord.Embed class to make an embed and use the embed kwarg in . send () while sending it

[river swift]

thx

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

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

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

[river swift]

would this be ok?

[dull terrace]

the tiny bit the length is off is making me mad

[final iron]

Why not just use fields?

Then name will be the item

[dull terrace]

because mobile is dumb and puts each field on a new line

[final iron]

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me

[final iron]

Nah like create a different field for each item

[dull terrace]

looks awful and takes up too much space

[slate swan]

how can i make it so if the user answers too fast it says something like, dont copy and paste that!

[dull terrace]

i've tried literally every option, dashes is for some reason the best

[river swift]

Would this be alright, handsome guys?

[dull terrace]

well since you called me handsome?

[river swift]

xd

[dull terrace]

would it be alright for what

[river swift]

is it well programmed?

[dull terrace]

my definition of well programmed is whether it runs

[halcyon sparrow]

Is this a user error? errors.ConverterFailure(*args: t.Any, opt: commands.base.OptionLike, raw: str)

[river swift]

yes

[halcyon sparrow]

If a converter fails it's the users fault? I feel like it is?

[river swift]

BRUH

[halcyon sparrow]

Are you writing this in a single file or separate from the main thing

[river swift]

a single file

[halcyon sparrow]

I'm using hikari. I don't know the library you're using sorry. A good thing to do is go back and look at your other commands that work

[river swift]

F

[halcyon sparrow]

Do you have other commands that work?

[dull terrace]

😆

[final iron]

They're using discord.py

[slate swan]

if its hikari-lightbulb it means the argument provided by user is not the the argument the option accepts

[river swift]

NRUH

[halcyon sparrow]

Yeah, I thought so. Its a user error. Thanks. I don't mind the pings.

[slate swan]

anyone know how to delete all channels in a discord server with a command

it can be, but is not limited to a user error, any factor causing the argument to not get converted to that required class can cause that error

[slate swan]

can anyone help me?

[slate swan]

can anyone help me

[final iron]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[slate swan]

you can save what time the bot's message was sent ```py
message = await send("the message bot sends")

then wait for that message

response = await wait_for("message")

and then substract the difference between message creations

difference_timedelta = response.created_at - message.created_at```

[slate swan]

i need help cuz a server got raided and i'm trying to delete all the channels tryin to do the oppsoite atm

and then check that timedelta on your own convinience

[slate swan]

( i just mentioned the methods as a pseudocode, before someone gets mad)

[river swift]

how to fix this guys :,,,,,v

[slate swan]

bot.remove_command('help')

[manic wing]

or help_command=None

[river swift]

thx

BURGGHHHH

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="YOUR PREFIX")

bot.remove_command('help')```

[heavy folio]

case sensitive lol

and dont make your own help command if you plan to.

HelpCommand walkthrough
https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/b78488fb28cadf279dfd3164b9f0cf96
consider subclassing discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand instead

[slate swan]

this

[silent ermine]

if you are using client replace it with bot

[heavy folio]

what

[silent ermine]

so client.remove_command('help')

its simpler

[heavy folio]

nah this is simpler

[slate swan]

yea probably lol

[silent ermine]

🧢 probs

[slate swan]

no just use the kwarg

[silent ermine]

jeez ok

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.help_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.help\_command

The help command implementation to use. This can be dynamically set at runtime. To remove the help command pass None. For more information on implementing a help command, see Help Commands.

[silent ermine]

i prefer to use the old methods so dont mind me

[slate swan]

[silent ermine]

you got a problem with that

[slate swan]

i do

[silent ermine]

I shall do this to you

[slate swan]

[silent ermine]

ok back to bot discussion

[slate swan]

yes

[silent ermine]

how to color the whole codeblock red

[heavy folio]

yeah pov you added 69 commands and you gotta manually add it in your horrible help command

why tf did it not reply

[silent ermine]

use this py for command in bot.walk_commands(): description = command.description if not description or description is None or description == "": description = "No Description Provided" embed.add_field(name=f"!{command.name} {command.signature if command.signature is not None else '' }", value=description) #, value=description

be smart

that way you only have to add description in decorator

[pliant gulch]

if not description already covers description being ""

Same with it being None, your other part of the if statement is use-less 100%

[silent ermine]

yes but its just to make sure

[pliant gulch]

Computers don't mess this up 🤔

[silent ermine]

but idk

[pliant gulch]

And you could remove your ternary condition inside of the f-string

Using just or

This would give a speedup

[silent ermine]

True

[final iron]

Andy can you optimize my life 😔

[silent ermine]

anyone know json here

[pliant gulch]

no

[final iron]

😡

[final iron]

Just ask your question

[silent ermine]

#databases

i have to implement it to a discord command

[final iron]

Don't know why you posted it in there as json isn't a database

[silent ermine]

its kinda considered a database

[final iron]

It's not a database

Full stop

[silent ermine]

jeez ok

[heavy folio]

yes and you do that in the subclassed HelpCommand

though you could just use Context.clean_prefix to replace !

[cloud dawn]

json is more like a dict but with less options.

as in pep8?

if he doesnt know since people dont want to help me because using json is a bad idea but idc

[cloud dawn]

Throw in the questions I'll have a look.

[dull terrace]

Fits on one screen now woo

[buoyant igloo]

I know something about json, I don’t know if I will be able to help

lookie in #databases

[tawny swallow]

Why the command is not working?

[cloud dawn]

Do you got an error?

[tawny swallow]

no

[manic wing]

i beg that you’re doing bot.run

[tawny swallow]

lol yes. How should i do it?

[manic wing]

you’re … not calling bot.run?

[tawny swallow]

oh no no I am calling it and the code in :

works perfectly. Only the commands don't work

[manic wing]

replace .event to .listen()

[cloud dawn]

Do all commands not work?

[slate swan]

Does that even work? I mean ur code has discord.Client n discord.ext.commands.Bot

as panda rightly said, if a variable is redefined nothing happens to the previous definition

[slate swan]

Welp tnx

[tawny swallow]

yes

[tawny swallow]

I added discord.Client because it didn't work at first

[cloud dawn]

Could you show some more code I don't think the problem is here.

!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.

[manic wing]

that fixes everything

[cloud dawn]

lol

[slate swan]

i i dont think so

[pliant gulch]

Of course it does

not

what did i tell you to do.

read exactly what i told you to do.

you did exactly the wrong thing.

i don’t think i could’ve been more clear

[cloud dawn]

Remove the on_message and try again.

[tawny swallow]

Where? sorry I don't know what you mean

.

in the on_message, replace .event to .listen().

i didnt say .command() to .listen().

Patience is needed, he is obviously a beginner and cannot read instructions.

[leaden jasper]

where did u get the code from?

[manic wing]

who said im not being patient?

and perhaps beginners shouldnt use discord.py

[tawny swallow]

still

[silent ermine]

just saying

[tawny swallow]

yeah soryy
But it still is not working

[silent ermine]

send the code

[manic wing]

what i said, works. what you did, didnt work.

[silent ermine]

do you have the bot in the server

[manic wing]

there is a difference

[tawny swallow]

discord.py

[slate swan]

Do u even know python or u just testing

The syntax is wrong

[leaden jasper]

can u give a link?

[slate swan]

Did u import anything even?

[buoyant igloo]

what tf

[tawny swallow]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '%')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))

@bot.command
async def test(ctx, arg):
await ctx.send(arg)

#*respond to messages
@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
msg = message.content
user = message.author
if user bOt.UsEr :
ReTuRn
If MsG 'test':
await message.channel.send('test worked')

[tawny swallow]

This is what you said right?
not working

[slate swan]

Is that the whole code?

Also please use this

[tawny swallow]

yes

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[tawny swallow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html

[tawny swallow]

yea!!
There are no errors and the syntax is good

[hushed galleon]

dont forget @bot.command should end with parentheses ()

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '%')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('logged in as {0.user}'.format(bot))

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx, arg):
await ctx.send(arg)

#*respond to messages
@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
msg = message.content
user = message.author
if user == bot.user :
return
If message.content == ('test'):
await message.channel.send('test worked')

[tawny swallow]

I forgot to added back

I AM SORRYYY

Thank you all

@manic wing sorry again and thank you

[cloud dawn]

I do recommend making commands instead of checking for messages.

[slate swan]

I just fixed the code for MEMAN

Its not mine

[tawny swallow]

Yes this is my plan i was just testing
Thank you

[cloud dawn]

Oh wrong reaction :3

[cloud dawn]

Gl

[tawny swallow]

Thank you

Sorry for making you get mad lol

[manic wing]

whos mad?

[slate swan]

Im not mad i was just saying u made a mistake

[cloud dawn]

🤨

Pretty funny way of saying it~

[slate swan]

That was a question

[tawny swallow]

IT hurt my feelings but it's okay i deserve it

[cloud dawn]

Take out the "even" next time it can come over as rude :)
You helped out anyways 👍

[hollow badger]

You do not deserve to have your feelings hurt.

[slate swan]

Sorry

[tawny swallow]

can yall help me with this??

this is the code

[cloud dawn]

It's just name

[slate swan]

so just name?

[cloud dawn]

nickname is .nickname

[cloud dawn]

yep

[slate swan]

i want it to be like seff<33#9999

[cloud dawn]

str(member)

[manic wing]

btw you can use a list instead of a dict (it appears you dont really have a value for the dict value)

[slate swan]

wym

[manic wing]

it would be ctx.author not member

[slate swan]

author gives me an error

[manic wing]

what error?

These are the docs pretty well explained, if you got more questions you can ask here.

[manic wing]

its ctx.author, not message.author

[cloud dawn]

str(ctx.author)

[slate swan]

remove srt(member) and put f‘{ctx.author}’

[cloud dawn]

This got more confused than needed lol

[slate swan]

The f outsied

[cloud dawn]

eh preference

[manic wing]

well a dictionary is useful because it can store a key and a value, if you dont need the value you may want to just use a list

[silent ermine]

how would I grab the content of a message that is code formatted

I'm trying to make it so the eval command runs even if you try to eval it in code format

Nevermind, I just had the bot strip the ` characters

[torn sail]

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

set_author(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)```
Sets the author for the embed content.

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

[slate swan]

so how would you do it

like do you just put exactly what’s there

[torn sail]

Wdym

embed.set_footer(name=ctx.author, icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url if ur in v2 then avatar_url would be avatar.url

[slate swan]

alright where do i put it

under title? or above @torn sail ^

[torn sail]

After u define embed

[slate swan]

so under embed = discord.embed?

[torn sail]

Yea

[slate swan]

okay one sec

[silent ermine]

gnnnn

[torn sail]

No it should be outside the parenthesis. Just create a line above get_channel and put it there

[silent ermine]

ah ok

[hushed galleon]

embed methods like set_footer can be tacked onto the end of the embed definition

[torn sail]

Or that but in my opinion it looks odd

[silent ermine]

outside of paranthesis, so put it above channel

!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.

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

Creates a webhook for this channel.

Requires [`manage_webhooks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks "discord.Permissions.manage_webhooks") permissions.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the `reason` keyword-only parameter.

Aha thanks for that....!!

[cosmic agate]

hey so

i have a leveling command

i try to to do !level

[boreal ravine]

technically it's one argument since it's a tuple

[cosmic agate]

nvm

sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: ctx.guild

should i change it to guild

or something else?

[sick birch]

Also are you using sqlite or aiosqlite?

[cosmic agate]

aio

[sick birch]

Your error says sqlite3 but you're awaiting your statements

[cosmic agate]

hmm

so i shouldnt await?\

[sick birch]

You should but it looks like you're using sqlite3

[cosmic agate]

but i imported aiosqlite

[sick birch]

Hm, well I guess it's not a big deal

Anyway, how does your code look now?

[cosmic agate]

so i have to remove await

[sick birch]

No don't

[cosmic agate]

on it

umm

then await is already there

[sick birch]

Leave it I don't think it's a problem, just send how your code looks now

[cosmic agate]

@bot.command(aliases = ['lvl', 'rank'])
async def level(ctx, member: nextcord.Member = None):
    if member is None:
        member = ctx.author
    async with bot.db.cursor() as cursor:
        await cursor.execute("SELECT xp FROM levels WHERE user = ? AND ctx.guild = ?", (member.id, ctx.guild.id,))
        xp = await cursor.fetchone()
        await cursor.execute("SELECT level FROM levels WHERE user = ? AND ctx.guild = ?", (member.id, ctx.guild.id,))       
        level = await cursor.fetchone()

        if not xp or not level:
            await cursor.execute("INSERT INTO levels (level, xp, user, guild) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)", (0, 0, member.id, ctx.guild.id,))
            await bot.commit()
        
        try:
            xp = xp [0]
            levels = levels [0]
        except TypeError:
          xp = 0
          level = 0
        
        user_data ={
            "name": f"{member.name}#{member.discriminator}",
            "xp": xp,
            "level": level,
            "next_level_xp": 100,
            "percentage": xp, 
        }

[sick birch]

Ah found the issue

Look here:

await cursor.execute("SELECT xp FROM levels WHERE user = ? AND ctx.guild = ?", (member.id, ctx.guild.id,))

[cosmic agate]

yes

[sick birch]

You're looking for a column called ctx.guild

Not the actual guild ID, but the exact string

[cosmic agate]

oh

i should change to guild?

[sick birch]

Change it to match your database, yes

[cosmic agate]

in the whole code or in that line

[sick birch]

Though storing a guild ID is not important for a leveling system

All you need is the user ID and XP they have

[cosmic agate]

yes

[cosmic agate]

??

[sick birch]

Looks like you always have it in your 2nd one

[cosmic agate]

i mean yeah

but should i cahnge it as all?

[sick birch]

Just make sure your not passing ctx.guild as the actual column heading

Since it's a string literal, it's not resolved to the guild ID

[cosmic agate]

hmm

[sick birch]

but rather it's kept as the actual string and looks for a column named "ctx.guild" exactly like that

[cosmic agate]

so what should i do?

[sick birch]

Make sure it matches up with your database

[cosmic agate]

change every ctx.guild to guild?

[sick birch]

Well I don't know the structure of your database

You need to make sure it matches up

[cosmic agate]

wdym

like

[sick birch]

Then yes, change it to guild

Also why the other fields? You only need XP and user ID

[cosmic agate]

hmm ok

im gonna change every ctx.guild into guild

in the command

👍🏼or👎🏼 ???

[brazen raft]

👍

[sick birch]

Sure should work

[cosmic agate]

okie

[supple thorn]

Dudes been asking the same question 4 times in a row

[cosmic agate]

XD

[sick birch]

Well it's not all about "what should I do" or "what should I change it to" you should be logically thinking on what the problem is, possible solutions, and if it could or could not work

[cosmic agate]

wth

Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'guild' is not defined

[maiden fable]

ctx.guild

[cosmic agate]

if it was not sqlite , i would stand a chance

[supple thorn]

He didn't understand a word you said

[cosmic agate]

but this out of my expertise

[sick birch]

Well you took it too literally

[brazen raft]

You have changed all occurrences of ctx.guildwith guild

[cosmic agate]

yes

[brazen raft]

The helper meant the ones that are inside the query strings

[sick birch]

Like I mentioned it's not just a find and replace operation you need to think where it would be logical to use ctx.guild and where it would be logical to use just guild

[cosmic agate]

IDk XD

[sick birch]

aiosqlite and sqlite are the same thing, you just append await in front of most operations (a low level explanation of it)

[cosmic agate]

now the place where u told to change, its now having a name eroor

[cosmic agate]

technically same

[slate swan]

"append await in front"

[supple thorn]

🗿

[sick birch]

There's a lot more to it, but in many cases it can function as a thin wrapper around sqlite3

[cosmic agate]

ok

so

[slate swan]

append means to put something at the end of a sentence/document, you just contradicted what you said

[sick birch]

Oh crap

[slate swan]

[sick birch]

I meant prepend, not append

Got my words mixed up :p

[brazen raft]

Then unshift if you're coming from JavaScript

[cosmic agate]

when i changed guild to ctx.guild i get this
OperationalError: no such column: ctx.guild

[slate swan]

[cosmic agate]

if i change ctx.guild to guild i get this replied message

[sick birch]

Like I said, it's not a "should I change everything to this" or "change everything to that", try to reason where it would be logical to change what and where

[cosmic agate]

umm

im not logical

[sick birch]

You won't learn anything from me just telling you what to change

[slate swan]

we arent here to just tell you everything, you need to APPLY YOUR OWN brain too

[cosmic agate]

ik

[sick birch]

That's strong wording, but yes, my point exactly

[cosmic agate]

but (i cant say excuse so imma leave)

[slate swan]

uhhh

[cosmic agate]

XD

[sick birch]

Think on it a little bit and let us know if you need help on how to solve it

We don't mind telling you how to solve it, but we won't just tell you exactly what to do to fix it

[slate swan]

imagine getting ignored off this 😔

[cosmic agate]

yes

i agree

so should i do

ctx.guild = guild?

something like that

??'

[sick birch]

Again, that's the same thing

[cosmic agate]

ummmm

[sick birch]

It's not all changing something

Your queries need to actually match up your database column names

Say you have 3 columns: X, Y, and Z, you can do a query like so:

SELECT X, Y FROM TABLE_NAME

[cosmic agate]

guild = bot.guild ??

[sick birch]

Why would bot have a single guild property?

[cosmic agate]

hmmm

[sick birch]

A bot can be in multiple guilds, so it doesn't make sense to have a single guild property

[cosmic agate]

ik

[sick birch]

It does, however, have a guilds property

[cosmic agate]

?

[sick birch]

I'm just saying your queries need to reference actual columns

[sick birch]

"ctx.guild" is not a column name from what I can see

[cosmic agate]

yes so

[sick birch]

No

[brazen raft]

Well, but don't write that in your code, you need to replace it with guild in your query strings

[sick birch]

Or you can just get rid of guilds from your database, you don't really need it

[cosmic agate]

👀

?

[sick birch]

You just need 2 columns, user ID and xp

[brazen raft]

Now that might give rise to another problem of ctx.guild

[cosmic agate]

ik so

[cosmic agate]

yeah

[sick birch]

I'm only suggesting a logical data model

[cosmic agate]

it will show for all guilds

[brazen raft]

This person probably wants a per guild level system

[sick birch]

Hm I see

[brazen raft]

It's totally fine then

[sick birch]

Then yeah I suppose you'd need it

[cosmic agate]

yes

[cosmic agate]

call me ||idiot||

[sick birch]

cursor.execute("SELECT userID, XP from LEVELS where guild = ? ORDER BY XP DESC", (ctx.guild))

something like that for fetching all users in a guild?

If it's like that then yeah you would need guild

[cosmic agate]

yeabh

||now what sed imma gonna d**||

[glacial echo]

gotta love it

[sick birch]

/shrug

life is better without slash commands

[cosmic agate]

i GOT IT

THANK U

'Member' object has no attribute 'avatar_url'
sed new error

oh ok

[hazy oxide]

member.avatar.url

[cosmic agate]

its .

[cosmic agate]

roger that

[sick birch]

Sorry if that felt like it took long to get help. I just want to make sure you learn something instead of being spoonfed, I hope you understand

[maiden fable]

😔 Slash commands

BTW @sick birch did u hear about the new build?

[sick birch]

The slate?

[maiden fable]

Another one got released today

Or yesterday (idk about timezones)

[sick birch]

Really? Do you have the link to the build?

[maiden fable]

https://discord.com/__development/link?s=GBxWH9lkrFwWI3HEiYg%2FshrD8kLcqS2NHnJn0rgceNU%3D.eyJ0YXJnZXRCdWlsZE92ZXJyaWRlIjp7ImRpc2NvcmRfd2ViIjp7InR5cGUiOiJicmFuY2giLCJpZCI6ImZlYXR1cmUvd2ViLXNsYXNoLWNvbW1hbmQtbG9jYWxpemF0aW9uIn19LCJyZWxlYXNlQ2hhbm5lbCI6bnVsbCwidmFsaWRGb3JVc2VySWRzIjpbXSwiYWxsb3dMb2dnZWRPdXQiOmZhbHNlLCJleHBpcmVzQXQiOiJXZWQsIDA2IEFwciAyMDIyIDE4OjI2OjUyIEdNVCJ9

localization now available from this build

[sick birch]

alright lets see

what's new

[slate swan]

👋

[maiden fable]

Lmao idk wtf is even localization tbh. Is it like the language is changed? for slash commands

[sick birch]

Just stuff like date and time formats I suppose

[maiden fable]

Prolly

[cosmic agate]

np i also do the way you do things to people less knowledgeable than me

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'db'
new error tho

[sick birch]

Yeah you need to actually assign db as a bot var somewhere, preferably on startup

[cosmic agate]

async with bot.db.cursor() as cursor:

hmm

[sick birch]

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.db = ...

# commands here

bot.run(TOKEN)

[cosmic agate]

something like this?

setattr(bot, "db", await aiosqlite.connect("level.db"))

[maiden fable]

😔 setattr

[sick birch]

No need to use setattr

[cosmic agate]

hmm

[sick birch]

Dot notation invokes that

[maiden fable]

bot.db = ...

[cosmic agate]

?

[sick birch]

Keep in mind it has to be inside a coroutine

[cosmic agate]

oh ok

[sick birch]

2.0 supports the setup_hook coroutine

[maiden fable]

U can use it in start method

!d discord.Client.start

[cosmic agate]

on ready?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.start

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

A shorthand coroutine for [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.login "discord.Client.login") + [`connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client.connect "discord.Client.connect").

[sick birch]

I wouldn't

[maiden fable]

telling me?

[glacial echo]

yeah slash commadns are weird

[sick birch]

I'm pretty sure it's still suspect to the downfalls of on_ready

[cosmic agate]

umm

[sick birch]

They made the setup_hook for a reason

[glacial echo]

w h a t

[glacial echo]

what word could this conceivably be

[cosmic agate]

https://tenor.com/view/once-again-you-have-judged-correctly-eddie-murphy-prince-akeem-coming-to-america-you-guessed-it-right-gif-19294567

[maiden fable]

LMAO

[sick birch]

stretch hater?

[maiden fable]

I also thought the same but its a hangman game iirc

[glacial echo]

i cant even cheat to check as i dont have a way to do so

[maiden fable]

LMAO

[cosmic agate]

XD

[glacial echo]

should be a single word

in englsih

[sick birch]

This is where grep would come in handy

[maiden fable]

👀 Katte betrayed by their own bot

[sick birch]

cat words_list.txt | grep stretch.ha.ter

totally not how i play wordle

[glacial echo]

what does that do

and how do i use it to find the word

[sick birch]

It returns all words that match the pattern

Similar to regex really

[glacial echo]

this is fucked up man

the bot has soft locked letter guesses meaning weve gone through every possible letter

[cosmic agate]

variables doesnt help

[maiden fable]

They should

[maiden fable]

Uh

U can always print the words to console

[glacial echo]

i don tthink i can do that mid game

[maiden fable]

Yup u will have to restart the bot

[glacial echo]

i can just run the startgame commadn lol

[maiden fable]

Lol

[glacial echo]

why did i make a hangman game mode

i dont know enough words for this

[maiden fable]

You can always use a words API or smth

[cosmic agate]

nope

[maiden fable]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[cosmic agate]

it must work without variable for bot.db

[slate swan]

i was wondering how do i @ an discord user using my bot?

so the bot prints out their @

[glacial echo]

im using a module that generates an english word

[maiden fable]

Mind showing the code where u r getting the word?

[maiden fable]

str(user)

!d discord.User.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention the given user.

[maiden fable]

idk which one u need

[boreal ravine]

what library are you using for SQL?

[glacial echo]

uhhh whats that command again

!pypi random-word

[unkempt canyon]

Random-Word v1.0.7

This is a simple python package to generate random english words

[glacial echo]

that

[cosmic agate]

aiosqlite

[boreal ravine]

are you seriously gonna use this library for your hangman game

idek what carboxyethyl is

[fallen patio]

Organic carbon compound

[glacial echo]

yes, just get good

i never said the bot was good

the game master can always manually start a new round

in theory

[maiden fable]

🤣

An idiot like me be like: Let's just forget hangman on discord and play some PC Games

[slate swan]

Are more then 1 on_message events possible?

[maiden fable]

Sure

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen is what u need

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

Example...

[maiden fable]

the function name can be anything, add the deco like this @listen("on_message")

[slate swan]

Under @client.event ?

[maiden fable]

Nope

remove the event deco

[slate swan]

Nvm got it

Ty

[glacial echo]

slight issue: it can generate hyphenated words

ill solve that later ™️

[boreal ravine]

can someone help me in #bot-commands tryna make a python hangman game

[maiden fable]

u can just see if "-" in word and if it is, then regen

[glacial echo]

yeah but thats more code than i wanna write at 11:30

ive been testing and iterating thsi hangman game for a few hours now

and im done for the night

[maiden fable]

Haha cool

[slate swan]

this exists

[glacial echo]

that wond get me bots

also not as fun

[slate swan]

how do i add my discord bot to an VPS?

[slate swan]

use their documentation

how do i @ a certain role using discord.py

[slate swan]

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

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

[slate swan]

i dont understand it

If you have a role object, just do .mention on it.

[slate swan]

get a Role object and then use the mention property on it

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

role = guild.get_role(ID)
mention = role.mention
await ctx.send(f"Hey, everyone with this role: {mention}")

bot = Bot()

@bot.command()
async def mention_example(ctx):
  role = bot.get_guild(guild_id).get_role(role_id)
  await ctx.send(f'Mentioning....{role.mention}')

nvm am always late

Or instead of bot.get_guild(guild_id just do ctx.guild.

[maiden fable]

Error: NoneType has no attribute get_role

[slate swan]

nice

Where is the docs for discord.TextChannel.history.flatten?

what vps yall suggest?

[abstract kindle]

Do I need to remove duplicate code if I have different cogs for different versions of my gambling games?

[slate swan]

idts that flatten is a thing in 2.0

and message has a history? huh?

[abstract kindle]

For example, I read the url for my mongodb connection from a json file, and when I load the file to read the connection in each Cog file, it says I have duplicate code and should fix it

[deep python]

hello

[slate swan]

you need a TextChannel object for the channel history

[deep python]

profile_picture = await load_image_async(str(member.avatar.url))
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'url'

error

[slate swan]

member.avatar_url

[slate swan]

huh? can you show the code and the error?

[abstract kindle]

It's not an error

[deep python]

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'avatar_url'

[abstract kindle]

I just have duplicate code for reading my JSON file in every Cog

and Pycharm doesn't like that

Is it a bad thing? If so, how would I fix it?

I also have created my own checkFailures, and I have those duplicated in each Cog where I need them

[slate swan]

huh? whats your discord version?

[deep python]

nextcord

[slate swan]

code

[slate swan]

oh then try doing
member.display_avatar.url

Im looking into gettign an VPS in order to host my bot for 24 hours, What VPS Do you suggest

[abstract kindle]

    data = json.load(file)

cluster = MongoClient(data['mongo_url'])
db = cluster['discordbot']
collection = db['users']```

I have this in 3 of my files

Because I connect to my DB using that connection in each file

And it doesn't like that I have duplicate code

[slate swan]

you could make one function and use it everywhere

Im looking into gettign an VPS in order to host my bot for 24 hours, What VPS Do you suggest

[slate swan]

dont spam

If you need to run your bot 24/7 (with no downtime), you should consider using a virtual private server (VPS).
This is a list of VPS services that are sufficient for running Discord bots.

https://www.scaleway.com/
Based in Europe.
https://www.digitalocean.com/
US-based.
Considered by many to be the gold standard.
Locations available across the world.
https://www.ovh.co.uk/
France and Canadian locations available.
https://www.time4vps.eu/
Seemingly based in Lithuania.
https://www.linode.com/
Cheap VPS.
https://www.vultr.com/
US-based, DigitalOcean-like.
https://galaxygate.net/
A reliable, affordable, and trusted host.

There are no reliable free options for VPS hosting. If you would rather not pay for a hosting service, you can consider self-hosting. Any modern hardware should be sufficient for running a bot. An old computer with a few GB of ram could be suitable, or a Raspberry Pi (any model, except perhaps one of the particularly less powerful ones).

[abstract kindle]

noob question, but how would I fix the unresolved references?

[slate swan]

dont use stuff before you assign them

[abstract kindle]

But I just put all that code in the function

and all the code after it is now confused

[slate swan]

huh

[abstract kindle]

Oh would I just make the variables global?

    data = json.load(file)

cluster = MongoClient(data['mongo_url'])
db = cluster['discordbot']
collection = db['users']``` 
in this code, collection is used throughout the code. Once I put it in a function, I got errors every time it's used. Would I have to make it global?

Yeah, I feel like I remember global was a bad practice

I add return collection to the end, but I still get warnings that collection in the code has an unresolved reference

[slate swan]

''' your file dir '''
Bot/
  cogs/
    example_cog.py

    connection.py
    __init__.py

''' this should be your cog inside cogs folder '''
from . import db

collectioon = await db.connect()

[abstract kindle]

interesting. I don't have an init.py

Still somewhat new to databases

[slate swan]

thats a python thing

for declaring that the dir is a package

so you can import it

[abstract kindle]

I have a json file with the url for it and I was just grabbing the url from there to connect

In your second block there, is that supposed to be return?

[slate swan]

wdym

oh yeah sorry, typo

[abstract kindle]

no worries

So for adding that db folder, would it be a new directory or a Python Package?

[slate swan]

hm, pftt

[abstract kindle]

Would it do that if I just had my first code pasted into every file?

[slate swan]

What’s the best VPS for the discord bots as well there is a guide with the vps since I’m new to those

[abstract kindle]

She told you above lol

[slate swan]

no comments

[abstract kindle]

I see. So just so I am understanding this, what Ashley was suggesting was that I had the function for connecting in its own file (connection.py) and then I import that into each cog?

And you're suggesting I just put that connection into my main file and use that function in the other files

[slate swan]

yes that, but in the db.py, do this instead

import json
from pymongo import MongoClient

with open('./data.json', 'r') as file:
    data = json.load(file)
cluster = MongoClient(data['mongo_url'])
async def connection():
  db = cluster['discordbot']
  return db['users']

this should only establish the connection once

[cloud dawn]

i got netcup pretty cheap and good service for your money, highly customizable and friendly UI

[abstract kindle]

Ok, Ill try that

[slate swan]

Uh, docs doesn't say anything about 2.0

[slate swan]

I meant discord.TextChannel.history.flatten

[abstract kindle]

@slate swan does this mean the whole with open('./data.json', 'r') as file: data = json.load(file) cluster = MongoClient(data['mongo_url'])
should go in the __init__.py file?

[slate swan]

She said in connection.py

[abstract kindle]

That was originally in the function

But now it is not, does that change anything?

[quick gust]

.flatten isn't a thing in dpy 2.0+ iirc

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=flatten#discord.AsyncIterator.flatten

Hey! Can anyone tell me some way to get all the valid names for emojis?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.emojis

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.emojis

property emojis```
The emojis that the connected client has.

[quick gust]

ure on the stable one, go to latest

pretty sure 2.0+ isn't stable yet

[slate swan]

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

[slate swan]

bot.emojis
```returns a list of all emojis the bot has

[slate swan]

That will return all the unicode emojis?

[quick gust]

emoji objects iirc

[slate swan]

Just emoji objects

Yeah so I can iterate through it and get the names. Let me try to see if that was what I was looking for.

Like [👍, ➡️, 🤷‍♂️]

[boreal ravine]

use motor

[boreal ravine]

has access to*

[boreal ravine]

thats not an emoji object

[abstract kindle]

What is use motor? lol

[boreal ravine]

it's an asynchronous version of pymongo

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.emojis

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.emojis

All emojis that the guild owns.

[abstract kindle]

What would that change about my code?

[boreal ravine]

every method that does something to your database needs to be awaited e.g py def main() -> None: col.find_one(...) needs to be ```py
async def main() -> None:
await col.find_one(...)

[abstract kindle]

Is this just an optimizing thing? I would still have my problem at hand

[slate swan]

its just the asynchronous version of pymongo, meaning, it wont block the rest of your code while interacting with the mongobase

[abstract kindle]

So I should just import it and then put await in front of all of my interactions?

or can I completely replace pymongo?

[junior verge]

Uhm, this is my requirements:

matplotlib==3.5.1
matplotlib-inline==0.1.3
mpmath==1.2.1
numpy==1.22.0
py==1.11.0
pymongo==4.0.1
requests==2.27.1
discord==1.7.3
discord.py==1.7.3
aiohttp==3.7.4
async-timeout==3.0.1
discordmongopy==0.3.0
motor==2.5.1
pymongo==4.0.1
``` Got no clue what to change

[boreal ravine]

• don't use motor and pymongo together
• why do you need discordmongopy

[velvet tinsel]

hi kayle

[boreal ravine]

Hi δεκριελ

[cosmic agate]

how to know how much servers is your bot in(names too)

[velvet tinsel]

you need to become greek

[cosmic agate]

????????????????????

oh ok

[velvet tinsel]

@cosmic agate bot.guilds perhaps?

[cosmic agate]

yes with the names too

[velvet tinsel]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.guilds

property guilds```
The guilds that the connected client is a member of.

[supple thorn]

Lmao

[velvet tinsel]

my dpy is a bit rusty

[cosmic agate]

doesnt help , nothign there

[velvet tinsel]

len(bot.guilds)?

[cosmic agate]

oh ok

[cosmic agate]

thats number

not names

[brazen raft]

Each guild object in bot.guilds should have a name attribute

[cosmic agate]

oh boy

[quick gust]

iterate through bot.guilds and just print guild.name

[cosmic agate]

oh ok

[slate swan]

names = "\n".join(guild.name for guild in bot.guilds)

[cosmic agate]

so

[slate swan]

Ok

[cosmic agate]

names = "\n".join(guild.name for guild in bot.guilds)

@bot.command()
async def servers(ctx):
   await ctx.send(names)

will this work?

[slate swan]

That works!

[cosmic agate]

hmm

[spring flax]

No

[slate swan]

Or add a @

[spring flax]

@bot.command

[cosmic agate]

done

[slate swan]

Put the name thing inside the command

[cosmic agate]

hmm ok

[slate swan]

Else it won't update when the bot joins a new guild.

[abstract kindle]

Is Ashley still here?

[quick gust]

?

[brazen raft]

It wouldn't work anyway because the bot hasn't started so the cache is empty

[slate swan]

Doesn't seem like it
