    if ctx.bot.is_connected is None:
      await voice_channel.connect()
    else:
      await ctx.bot.move_to(voice_channel)

is it supposed to be like this?

[upbeat gust]

what's ctx.bot either

it's self

Not ctx

[austere vale]

@commands.command()
  async def join(self, ctx):
    if ctx.author.voice is None:
      await ctx.send('You are not in a voice channel.')

    if self.is_connected() is None:
      await voice_channel.connect()
    else:
      await self.move_to(voice_channel)

like this?

[silent ermine]

await self.bot.move_to(voice_channel)

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

The bot that contains the command being executed.

[silent ermine]

and if self.bot.is_connected()

[hushed galleon]

although is_connected() and move_to() are methods of voice client so neither self.bot or ctx.bot should be used

you can get the voice client from ctx.guild.voice_client

[glacial echo]

how can i write a check for if a specific user (a user at index 0 of a list of users) has sent a message, and if they have proceed with my logic for the bot and if they havent after 5 minutes, do somethign else

like if user[0] has sent message: do thing 1, if no message from user[0] for 5 minutes: do thing 2

[spice adder]

@client.event
async def on_member_unban(guild, user):
  username =  str(user)
  userid = str(user.id)
  unbanreason = await guild.audit_logs(limit=1, action=discord.AuditLogAction.unban).flatten()
  unbanembed = discord.Embed(title=f"User {username} was unbanned", color=0x2ecc71)
  unbanembed.set_thumbnail(url="")
  unbanembed.add_field(name="🔓 User ID:", value=f"{userid}", inline=True)
  unbanembed.add_field(name="📄 Reason:", value=f"{unbanreason}", inline=True)
  modlog = client.get_channel(904806027025854544)
  await modlog.send(embed = unbanembed)
``` Have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to add a reason to an unban. The only bot I've seen be able to do it is Dyno, so I'm not sure if I'm just missing something in the docs or if it's not really possible - code above doesn't work with the `unbanreason = await guild.audit_logs(limit=1, action=discord.AuditLogAction.unban).flatten()` part, which I found by searching back through this channel

[glacial echo]

so, Dyno is giving a reason for it itself unbanning somene, not it sending an embed as a modlog

[high nexus]

can I await a change in a list

[glacial echo]

do dyno isnt doing what youre describing

[supple thorn]

You could use the datetime module to check if 5 minutes has passed

[glacial echo]

that seems incredbly heavy handed for a simple timer?

[spice adder]

It does both - one in the embed and one in the audit log

[supple thorn]

I mean that's what i used

[high nexus]

am I able to await a change in a list

[glacial echo]

when it is unbanning someone, it presumably is just putting the same unban reason you provided in the command

[supple thorn]

It's the first solution that came to my head

[slim ibex]

only coroutines are awaitable

[glacial echo]

it probably isnt firing on_member_unbanned

[spice adder]

Hmm, odd

[slim ibex]

and await syntax can only be used in async functions

no top-level await 😢

[glacial echo]

does dyno send a modlog if you manually unban a user

[spice adder]

One moment, let me test that

[supple thorn]

js beats us 😔

[slim ibex]

and also @high nexus there is 0 need to await some change in a list

[supple thorn]

A timer?

[pliant gulch]

0 need? What about synchronisation

[supple thorn]

What kind of timer?

[slim ibex]

well that I could think of LOL

[spice adder]

Dyno does not seem to send a modlog when banned through anything other than Dyno

[pliant gulch]

That's a pretty important thing 👁️

Gets rid of race conditions

[slim ibex]

ah yeah smart

[spice adder]

Though I'm still confused as to how it's adding a reason to unban since (to my knowledge) unbans don't support reasons

[slate swan]

it does tho?

!d discord.Member.unban

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.unban

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

Unbans this member. Equivalent to [`Guild.unban()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild.unban "discord.Guild.unban").

[spice adder]

Hm, then how would you get the reason in on_member_unban?

Or would it use something else entirely

[boreal ravine]

Didn't I help you with this yesterday

[slate swan]

Can someone help me

[boreal ravine]

Sure why not

[spice adder]

Sort of, I worked around with what you were talking about but couldn't get it working

[pliant gulch]

on_member_unban doesn't give you the ban data itself, only the guild the member is bound to, and the member itself. You need to query the audit log in order to get the reason for the unban

[slate swan]

Alright. I’m looking to do this. When someone says hi. And embed pops up saying Hai! Then I have buttons at the button that says bye. Talk. And depending on what they click is what the bot says in embed ofc

[boreal ravine]

It's just ```py
ban = await guild.fetch_ban(...)
ban.reason

[spice adder]

Oh I've got that part done

I'm talking about unban reasons

[boreal ravine]

Oh

[slate swan]

@boreal ravine above is what I need help with

[boreal ravine]

Use an on_message event

[slate swan]

I know that. But I’m unsure how to code the embed and buttons part

[quaint forum]

How can I get a message from its id?

[spice adder]

Sort of like this?

await guild.audit_logs(limit=10, action=discord.AuditLogAction.unban).flatten()
``` Because this outputs a bunch of random info when I try to use it

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.abc.Messageable.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.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.

[supple thorn]

!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.

[boreal ravine]

For the button part just use a discord.ui.View class

[supple thorn]

curses

[pliant gulch]

Guess you can only fetch message, even though internally the client has a memory cache

[supple thorn]

😔

[pliant gulch]

That random info is probably the BanEntries

[slate swan]

Alright. I’m looking to do this. When someone says hi. And embed pops up saying Hai! Then I have buttons at the button that says bye. Talk. And depending on what they click is what the bot says in embed ofc

[boreal ravine]

Use the "random info", probably just d.py's reprs

[spice adder]

[<AuditLogEntry id=958885480085221376 action=AuditLogAction.unban user=<User id=155149108183695360 name=...

[slate swan]

Yo I need help

[spice adder]

I understand what it means, but I'm not quite sure how to actually use it in this case

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.AuditLogEntry.reason

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AuditLogEntry.reason

The reason this action was done.

[slate swan]

Dang no one is helping me

[spice adder]

[pliant gulch]

This would be the ban reason

[quaint forum]

?

[supple thorn]

okay

[slate swan]

Alright. I’m looking to do this. When someone says hi. And embed pops up saying Hai! Then I have buttons at the button that says bye. Talk. And depending on what they click is what the bot says in embed ofc

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan

[quaint forum]

        for message in submissions:
            channel = client.get_channel(submissionChannelID)
            message = client.channel.fetch_message(message)```
errors with 
'Client' object has no attribute 'channel'

submissions is a list of message ids

[slate swan]

I need an example

[boreal ravine]

client.channel is not a thing, where'd you get that from

[quaint forum]

im guessing I'm not getting the channel correctly?

[hushed galleon]

there's view examples in the github repository

[supple thorn]

because bot has no attribute channel

[slate swan]

Can I get an example

[hushed galleon]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

[supple thorn]

almost are

it's just channel

[pliant gulch]

channel not client.channel and fetch_message is a coroutine, you await it

[hushed galleon]

although View is only available in dpy 2.0 and some of its forks

[slate swan]

I need help coding this please help

[supple thorn]

you are getting helped

[boreal ravine]

Are we not helping you?

[slate swan]

I’m asking for an example I’m confused

[supple thorn]

you legit got an example

[slate swan]

Where

[boreal ravine]

Click the link from earlier, it has a couple of examples about how to make buttons/views

[supple thorn]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

There is literally a million things idk which one it is

[boreal ravine]

Click one

[supple thorn]

it's examples

[boreal ravine]

confirm.py

[supple thorn]

click one

[hushed galleon]

what version of dpy are you using @slate swan

[slate swan]

I don’t want an command

I want it just an word “hello”

Anyone know How i can grab the guild ID from the message sent ```py
@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
guild= message.guild.id
if message.content.startswith("prefixreset"):
with open ("prefixes.json", "r") as f:
prefixes=json.load(f)
prefixes.pop[str(guild)]
prefixes[str(guild)] = "s-"
with open ("prefixes.json", "w") as f:
json.dump (prefixes, f, indent=4)
await message.channel.send("Reset prefix to s-")
await bot.process_commands(message)

what i do rn grabs the message ID and dumps that into the json instead of the guild id

[boreal ravine]

Ok? Just look at the view example then

[high nexus]

wait so how would I go about awaiting a change in a list or doing something with a similar affect

[slate swan]

What

[boreal ravine]

#async-and-concurrency

[hushed galleon]

you sure you dont want to just make mentioning the bot a permanent prefix?

[glacial echo]

probably becasue they do but only something accessing the API can access the field

[slate swan]

yeah i like the custom prefixes

[supple thorn]

message.guild.id?

[slate swan]

thats the part im doin wrong

[supple thorn]

or just message.guild

[slate swan]

oh

[supple thorn]

i don't remember

[slate swan]

ill try that rq

[hushed galleon]

having to mention the bot means you can write it as a command, and would more sense than the bot just reacting to anyone that types prefixreset

[supple thorn]

fuck

[boreal ravine]

No

[hushed galleon]

message.guild gives you the Guild object

[supple thorn]

yes

[hushed galleon]

it doesnt seem like it should be adding any message id to your json

[boreal ravine]

You're using message.guild.id though?

[slate swan]

im doing it wrong i wanna get the server id but that grabs the message id

[boreal ravine]

What

[supple thorn]

what

[slate swan]

what

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan Don't

[slate swan]

[supple thorn]

chain starting

[slate swan]

Hello

[hushed galleon]

did you check if the added id actually did come from a message?

[slate swan]

Can I just get help for my request

[supple thorn]

are you back from looking at examples

[supple thorn]

you did get helped

[slate swan]

I don’t know man

Alright. I’m looking to do this. When someone says hi. And embed pops up saying Hai! Then I have buttons at the button that says bye. Talk. And depending on what they click is what the bot says in embed ofc

Why can’t u make that into my example

[supple thorn]

why are you spamming these messages

[supple thorn]

we gave you examples

[hushed galleon]

theres two parts to what you asked for, one is listening for a message that says hi, and then sending a message with a view containing the buttons you want

also what is your dpy version

[slate swan]

What’s dpy?

[hushed galleon]

discord.py

[slate swan]

💀 💀 💀

[supple thorn]

🗿

[slate swan]

Idk man

[slate swan]

Ok! Can I get the example for my request

[hushed galleon]

wait you havent started with a library yet?

[supple thorn]

i'm confused how you got this far without even knowing the library you're using

[slate swan]

If you guys wanna help please help and I won’t speak on the chat for any longer

[supple thorn]

you did get helped

[slate swan]

U are not helping me

[supple thorn]

you're lowkey asking to get spoonfed

[slate swan]

My request

[hushed galleon]

this is a serious question, we really need to know how far you are so we can start with the most appropriate information

[pliant gulch]

Not spoonfeeding != Not helping

[slate swan]

Thank you guys I guess I’m going in stackoverflow/yt

[supple thorn]

yes and we gave you what you needed to start

[high nexus]

anyone mind looking in #async-and-concurrency

[hushed galleon]

gl then

[supple thorn]

yt is worse

💀

[quaint forum]

How do I get the reactions from a message?

I'm trying to do

        for message in submissions:
            channel = client.get_channel(submissionChannelID)
            message = channel.fetch_message(message)
            if message.reactions.count > currentHighestReactions:```

But it is telling me that reactions is not a attribute of message

Im scrolling through the documentation and just dont understand this

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reactions

Reactions to a message. Reactions can be either custom emoji or standard unicode emoji.

[pliant gulch]

You need to await fetch_message as I said eariler

It's a coroutine

[quaint forum]

too bad it works without the await... lol

[pliant gulch]

Right now it's erroring because message is a coroutine object. Not an actual discord.Message object

A coroutine object has no attribute reactions

[quaint forum]

the if statement is whats erroring not the fetch

[pliant gulch]

So, await it. Then it will work

[quaint forum]

Wouldnt it error at the fetch and say it has to await?

[pliant gulch]

No?

You don't need to always await a coroutine.

But in this case you do

[quaint forum]

okay ill try it in a second

[pliant gulch]

Also, keep in mind list.count is a method, not an attribute

If you want the amount of elements in the list you cast len

!e ```py
print(len([1, 2, 3]))

[unkempt canyon]

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

3

[slim ibex]

!e

print([1, 2, 3].__len__())

🗿

[unkempt canyon]

@slim ibex :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

3

[pliant gulch]

You know this really tricked me up

Because a while back I thought len was always O(n)

[slim ibex]

its O(1) right

[pliant gulch]

But it depends on the object's implementation of __len__, in the case of python sequences. It's all O(1) yes

Custom user objects could have it be O(n), O(log n) O(n^2) etc

[slim ibex]

cool

custom O(n log n) version incoming

[quaint forum]

Okay I understand the await now

i think

[slim ibex]

what didn't you understand about ti before

[quaint forum]

when to use it

[slim ibex]

use it when you are calling a coroutine

[quaint forum]

right

but I also have a new problem that I dont understand much either

I know you said the list.count is a method so it wont have the count of the reactions but all of the reactions right?

I added len() and it doesnt like it much

[tame nymph]

#help-carrot can someone take over i don't want to help someone that doesn't know python and is trying to code a bot

[quaint forum]

        for message in submissions:
            channel = client.get_channel(submissionChannelID)
            message = await channel.fetch_message(message)
            if len(message.reactions.count) > currentHighestReactions:
                currentHighestReactions = len(message.reactions.count)
                currentWinner = message.author.id```

[tame nymph]

@slim ibex pls help me

[slim ibex]

lol

[pliant gulch]

You never removed message.reactions.count

[tame nymph]

I need to go do some homework

[pliant gulch]

Like I said earlier, list.count is a method

[tame nymph]

take over for me please

[pliant gulch]

Remove the dotnotation access, then directly cast len on only the list

[quaint forum]

i dont understand

[pliant gulch]

remove .count, and cast len on the list

[slim ibex]

seems like transpiled JS or sometuing

[quaint forum]

ah okay thanks, I was confused cause you said I never removed the whole message.reactions.count

[pliant gulch]

👍

[slim ibex]

also not sure if this is the right cahnnel for this

[balmy ivy]

i think it is

[slim ibex]

a random script tag doesn't tell me anything though

[pliant gulch]

Something cloudflare?

Is this within the scope of this channel

[slim ibex]

thats what im wondering

[quaint forum]

I think message.reactions gets the amount of unique reactions and not the like amount of times a reaction was used on a message

[final iron]

!d discord.Message.reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reactions

Reactions to a message. Reactions can be either custom emoji or standard unicode emoji.

[high nexus]

yo if I take argument from a command what data type is it in

[slim ibex]

whatever datatype you specify

[high nexus]

alr

[slim ibex]

dpy enforces types in typehints iirc

[pliant gulch]

If no typehint is given it defaults to str

And if you give an incompatible typehint, E.g a type without an equivelent converter

It will not work, I think?

Or it might just cast str

I can't remember the behaviour

[slate swan]

how can I create a listener for an event, I mean, I want to have the same event twice but I cannot do this, I must create a listener but how?

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[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...

[silent ermine]

how to make a safe eval command

[slate swan]

A public one, or just for owner purpose?

[hushed galleon]

for public evals you could look into snekbox for isolating python, its developed by this discord

[velvet compass]

There is snekbox, but its pretty closely tied to the infrastructure we have. iirc there are no plans to make it totally standalone

https://github.com/python-discord/snekbox

Or there is a way to port it to another project, and I just don't know how to

[hushed galleon]

ah okay

[silent ermine]

oublic

[silent ermine]

snekbox?

[slate swan]

So you want users to be able to run python code from discord right?

[silent ermine]

Yep like @unkempt canyon

[velvet compass]

I'm sure there is a way, its just beyond me to figure out how to make it lol

[silent ermine]

like

!eval print("sussy")

[unkempt canyon]

@silent ermine :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

sussy

[silent ermine]

oh lol

[pliant gulch]

Python bot runs off of docker, you could probably modify that to run your own bot along side snekbox API

Might not work though in case of some specifics

Definitely easier then doing it yourself with NsJail

[silent ermine]

api?

[silent ermine]

NsJail?

[pliant gulch]

Snekbox uses NsJail under the hood for process isolation

And API as in the snekbox API

It’s a REST one

[slate swan]

There are multiple APIs which may help you with it

[silent ermine]

what does that mean lol

[slate swan]

https://github.com/sphere-engine/python-client this is what I found , unsure if it's a good one

https://docs.sphere-engine.com/

[lament mesa]

https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/api/what-is-a-rest-api

[silent ermine]

oh ok

[pliant gulch]

To clear any confusion you might have regarding the API, it’s not hosted on the web and rather it’s localhosted

In case you were wondering it there was some hosted API

[boreal ravine]

@unkempt canyon localhosts snekbox?

[pliant gulch]

Correct

From my experience of doing a PR for the bot the docker boots the API up locally

[boreal ravine]

Use an API (tio, piston)

[sick birch]

That, or for the learning experience and more control, set up your own nsjail isolated environment for safe eval

[pliant gulch]

I'll probably be checking out NsJail later and make my own project off it

Process isolation seems pretty interesting

[sick birch]

Indeed

[pliant gulch]

Albeit, not my field of study

[high nexus]

Hey guys when I do queue.join() my thing does not unblock

[sick birch]

Mine neither, but it's always good to step out of your comfort zone and learn some new things

[bronze pilot]

can you send your code, please?

[high nexus]

I actually can’t atm but the queue object is put in a list and that list is passed to another function in which the task_done is reached

And the queue is cleared

But it just does not unblock

[bronze pilot]

one moment

[silent ermine]

ok

[pliant gulch]

You need to make sure you call task_done for each finished task. Queue.join() will be blocking until task_done is ZERO

[silent ermine]

ok NsJail

[high nexus]

This is what the queue object prints as when it should be empty: <Queue at 0x207f458da00 maxsize=0>

idk if you can tell anything off that

[hearty dust]

what is the type of ctx.author.id

int or str?

[pliant gulch]

Can you print queue._unfinished_tasks

It should show 0

[torn sail]

Int

[hearty dust]

thanks

[high nexus]

Alr

[high nexus]

It didn’t print anything?

[pliant gulch]

😔 Did they get rid of it or something? Danm

Well, not sure but just make sure every time you finish a put call or something, that you call task_done()

[high nexus]

ok

[high nexus]

I checked if it was empty and it returned true so idk

[pliant gulch]

I'm unsure then, if you did it properly join should've unblocked when all tasks are counted as finished

[little drift]

I didn't get any response in #python-discussion so I'm posting it here.

I'm trying to start my discord.py bot with self.run() (yes it inherits commands.Bot) but discord.py is raising LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed and I've copy-pasted the token over and over.

I was using secretbox to get the token from .env file and there's no problem with secretbox (I tried printing the token and it just prints that).

Is this a discord.py bug?

I've also tried creating a new bot and copy-pasted it's token but it raised the same error as before.

[slate swan]

Can you show code?

Also make sure you're not prepending anything onto the token string.

[cerulean osprey]

Anyway to make the bot do a thing when mentioned? (docs link preferred)

[little drift]

bot.py

class Client(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.config = SecretBox(auto_load=True)
        self.logger = logging.getLogger("discord")

        super().__init__(
            command_prefix="!",
            description="Later...",
        )

    async def init_extensions(self) -> None:
        extensions = os.listdir("./extensions")
        for extension in extensions:
            self.load_extension(f"extensions.{extension[:-3]}")

    async def on_ready(self) -> None:
        await self.init_extensions()

    def init_logging(self) -> None:
        self.logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
        handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='bot.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')
        handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s:%(levelname)s:%(name)s: %(message)s'))
        self.logger.addHandler(handler)

    def launch(self) -> None:
        self.run(self.config.get("BOT_TOKEN"))

main.py

from bot import Client

if __name__ == '__main__':
  client = Client()
  client.launch()

[cerulean osprey]

This actually happened to me. I had to reset my token for it to work

[little drift]

I tried that

[slate swan]

@cerulean osprey That can be implemented yourself with little to no logic, doc links aren't needed.

if f'<@{your_app_id}>' in message.content:
    ...

[cerulean osprey]

Yeahhh that makes more sense now that I think abt it, ty

[little drift]

discord.py 2.0 is way too buggy

[slate swan]

Here's a better one:

if any(x for x in [f'<@{id}>', f'<@!{id}>'] if x in message.content:
    ...

@cerulean osprey

[cerulean osprey]

I forget, what does the ! do again?

[slate swan]

Uh it's cause of how mentions work. If the user has a nickname I'm pretty sure Discord adds an exclamation mark to the mention

[cerulean osprey]

Ahh yeah that makes sense, I've seen it somewhere just forgot what it was abt. Honestly I had forgotten mentions can be checked like that, ty

[slate swan]

@little drift

Discord.py has little to do with your token being invalid.

2.0 can be buggy, but it's only for features being developed.

The logic behind Client.run() was implemented ages ago and won't break that easily.

[little drift]

BOT_TOKEN="RANDOMSTUFF"  

I don't think i prepended anything

[pliant gulch]

Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just check for the id in raw_mentions

[cerulean osprey]

If I made <@{bot_id}> = botMention could I do:

if any(word in msg for word in botMention):
  . . .
```? (`msg = message.content` as well)

[slate swan]

What are you passing as BOT_TOKEN?

[little drift]

the bot token ofc

[slate swan]

Are you sure it's not the OAuth2 secret?

[little drift]

I've also tried passing other bot tokens

nope

[slate swan]

Try it without the quotes

[little drift]

I've tried that

[slate swan]

You mean tokens for other applications?

[little drift]

I've also reset it a couple of times now

[little drift]

yes

[slate swan]

Hm. Odd.

[little drift]

a problem with discord perhaps?

[slate swan]

No

[little drift]

discord is returning 401

[slate swan]

Well, maybe but it's unlikely

[cerulean osprey]

I had to reset my token like 2-3 times when it happened to me.. but Im not sure tbh

[little drift]

hmm

[slate swan]

Does your Client class feature any other logic than this?

[little drift]

nope

not now atleast

[pliant gulch]

Can you verify self.config.get is returning a string and not None

[little drift]

I've printed it out

and it's a string

I've also tried passing the token directly

[slate swan]

Can you try this:
Reset your application token again and copy it with the COPY button (don't select it)
Paste it into your .run() call

[little drift]

I'm using the copy button

I don't usually select

[pliant gulch]

How long has this issue been happening?

[little drift]

since yesterday

[slate swan]

What do you believe triggered it?

[pliant gulch]

What happens when you run a normal vanilla client with your token?

Like without making a subclass, etc

[little drift]

I don't think anything triggered it

[pliant gulch]

I doubt this will change anything, but just trying to lower the options rn

[little drift]

the same thing

[slate swan]

Try opening a Python terminal and pasting

import discord; discord.Client().run('TOKEN')

[little drift]

i ran it with nextcord and it worked

[slate swan]

Does this also fail?

[little drift]

hm it worked

weird

[slate swan]

Can you please run python3 -m discord -v in a terminal?

[little drift]

- Python v3.9.9-final
- discord.py-self v2.0.0-alpha
    - discord.py-self pkg_resources: v1.7.3
- aiohttp v3.8.1
- system info: Windows 10 10.0.19043

[slate swan]

At this point I have reason to believe it's your code that's failing.

[little drift]

hm it doesn't make sense though

[slate swan]

Just try passing the token in your env file without enclosing it in quotes.

*Again.

[little drift]

it worked smh

[slate swan]

So what was it?

[little drift]

I just installed nextcord to check if nextcord returns the same error

now discord.py works fine

[little drift]

not sure

[austere solstice]

Help pls

[slate swan]

Let me tell you from experience, sometimes we (as humans) feel very confident in what we do not know or are not sure of. In this case (I've experienced this too), you're fixated on the library being faulty. I suggest taking a step back and looking at the actual source of the issue (don't look at the direct cause of the error, just trace further back)

[austere solstice]

.

[slate swan]

With.. what?

[spring flax]

How is owner text yellow

[austere solstice]

says owner none

[austere solstice]

-_- i just did i am from hogwards

[slate swan]

It's highlighted, I just realized that

[slate swan]

Are you using guild.owner?

[austere solstice]

ys

[spring flax]

How?

[slate swan]

You need to have Guild Members intents enabled.

[austere solstice]

owner = str(ctx.guild.owner)

[slate swan]

The image is highlighted

[spring flax]

Ah

[slate swan]

^ The guild owner isn't cached.

[austere solstice]

any example of it?

[slate swan]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = true

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

...

[austere solstice]

hmm
dident know that .py also have intents

[fading harness]

also the toggle in the dev portal should also be enabled

[slate swan]

Why wouldn't it?

[fading harness]

it had since more than 1 years ago

[slate swan]

Was about to get a gif for this but thanks

[austere solstice]

[austere solstice]

used 101% of my brain

owner = str(ctx.guild.owner_id)
embed.add_field(name="Owner", value=f"<@!{owner}>", inline=False)

[little drift]

I don't think it's a problem with discord.py but one of the libraries used by discord.py. The problem got fixed by installing nextcord. And nextcord uses the same libs as discord.py so maybe one of the lib was outdated.

[slate swan]

You should probably remove the exclamation mark from the mention

[austere solstice]

@austere solstice

[slate swan]

I mean the only dependency discord.py has is aiohttp.

[feral lichen]

hey is there a way to dm a user using a bot.event? just wondering

like specifically

[slate swan]

And you had a newer version of if, not sure what the issue was

But you're probably right.

[austere solstice]

@slate swan really 2,000+ lines?

[feral lichen]

bro making dyno 2.0 💀

[austere solstice]

lol

[slate swan]

You can acquire a user object using Client.get_user() or Client.fetch_user()

[slate swan]

Oh lol I was reading the source

[feral lichen]

ight thanks

[slate swan]

No that's the Dyno bot source

I'm not supposed to have it but it got leaked so what should I do

[austere solstice]

[slate swan]

It's kinda bad code ngl

[feral lichen]

oh shit fr?

thats funny

[slate swan]

I mean it's bad because it's inconsistent and kind of rushed

[feral lichen]

i thought it was in js not py

[slate swan]

Oh wait

[slate swan]

Yeah

I'm not sure what my activity status was saying

[feral lichen]

oof

[slate swan]

I thought the Dyno project was showing up too

[little drift]

that might be the cause

pip warned me about aiohttp being outdated while installing nextcord

[feral lichen]

idk if this is a simple mistake, but when i lock a channel and it sends to my modlogs, it says for example @wizguy has locked None for reason, for some reason it says none for the channel. Any help? ```py

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def lock(ctx, reason=None, channel : discord.TextChannel=None):
overwrite = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
overwrite.send_messages = False
await ctx.channel.set_permissions(ctx.guild.default_role, overwrite=overwrite)
await ctx.send(f'Channel locked for {reason}')
channels = bot.get_channel(958877700351754250)
await channels.send(f'{ctx.author.mention} has locked {channel} for {reason}')
@lock.error
async def lock_error(ctx, error):
if isinstance(error,commands.CheckFailure):
await ctx.send('You do not have permission to use this command!')

[high nexus]

How do I made it show my vscode as a status like that bc for some reason it doesn’t do it by default

[cerulean osprey]

You still having problems by chance?

[austere solstice]

you need discord app on pc or laptop than enable activity in status then it will show

[cerulean osprey]

Im not sure if this was said or not but I forgot I also did 1 other thing that might've fixed it... (or it could be entirely useless, idk 😂

[high nexus]

No it doesn’t show idk why

[austere solstice]

not website or mobile app

[high nexus]

Rn I have activities off but vscode with them on just does not show

[high nexus]

Ik

[sick birch]

You need the extension

[cerulean osprey]

Isnt it a plugin?

[feral lichen]

any help

[austere solstice]

hm then its some internal error

[cerulean osprey]

Or an extension yeah

[high nexus]

Oh ok

[austere solstice]

whats prob in it?

[austere solstice]

not used for bots

[feral lichen]

idk if this is a simple mistake, but when i lock a channel and it sends to my modlogs, it says for example
@feral lichen has locked None for reason
, for some reason it says none for the channel. Any help?

[austere solstice]

you mentioned the channel?

let me test it

then i tell

[feral lichen]

no it says "None" for the channel instead of the channel name but sure

[cerulean osprey]

Are you trying to get it to show the channel with the ID 958877700351754250?

[feral lichen]

no just the channel name

everything else is fine besides that

[hasty bison]

what is the command for this with colour?

heagpl
wkgfoa

[cerulean osprey]

Yeah but the channel in question, like the channel you want, is it that one?

[austere solstice]

worked for me

[feral lichen]

huh, strange

[hasty bison]

, anyone?

[feral lichen]

no clue, do you mean in `?

[hasty bison]

i mean this

[cerulean osprey]

Oh, embed color

[hasty bison]

what is the command

[feral lichen]

for embeds?

[hasty bison]

yes

[feral lichen]

wait i dont think that worjs

only for specific things

[cerulean osprey]

embed = discord.Embed(title"...", color=0x{hex code}
``` is what I have... tho Idk if thats the best way

[feral lichen]

yea theres a bunch of ways

[hasty bison]

is there a library i need to import?

[feral lichen]

no, heres one i use but its only red and blue im quite sure. Im pretty sure you can fix it though

embed=discord.Embed(title="Commands", url="", description="", color=discord.Color.blue())

[cerulean osprey]

Only one you need is import discord pretty sure

But, naturally since ur making a disc bot 😂

[feral lichen]

then ```py
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[feral lichen]

im pretty sure on grepper or stackoverflow you can find a example someone used like ```py
embeded = discord.Embed(title=server.name, description='Server Info', color=hex)
embeded.set_thumbnail(url=server.icon_url)
embeded.add_field(name="Created on:", value=server.created_at.strftime('%d %B %Y at %H:%M UTC+3'), inline=False)
embeded.add_field(name="Server ID:", value=server.id, inline=False)
embeded.add_field(name="Users on server:", value=server.member_count, inline=True)
embeded.add_field(name="Server owner:", value=server.owner, inline=True)

    embeded.add_field(name="Default Channel:", value=server.default_channel, inline=True)
    embeded.add_field(name="Server Region:", value=server.region, inline=True)
    embeded.add_field(name="Verification Level:", value=server.verification_level, inline=True)

    embeded.add_field(name="Role Count:", value=roles, inline=True)
    embeded.add_field(name="Emoji Count:", value=emojis, inline=True)
    embeded.add_field(name="Channel Count:", value=channels, inline=True)

^for an example

[worn bane]

hello, i am using Hikari for my API and beginning to code a discord bot, however everything i try for the Discord Bot Status seems to fail and return some sort of error. may I have some help?

[cerulean osprey]

I can try, tho I am not very good at it myself. Mind showing the code?

[feral lichen]

^

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

Install the Discord Rich Presence extension in VSCode

[austere solstice]

?

[austere solstice]

after that

[slate swan]

VSCode doesn't natively provide support for activity statuses

[slate swan]

No

If you enable the extension it will connect via RPC

I doubt you know how activity statuses on Discord even work

[austere solstice]

after install discord rick presence what to do?

[slate swan]

Uh off topic

Regardless, just read what it says on the extension page

Why ask me

[sick birch]

Reboot your vsc

[feral lichen]

bro how could you not 💀

[austere solstice]

hmm me on sublime text but it also have discord rich presence installed

[slate swan]

If you're using Sublime you should also just know how to proceed after installing an extension

[worn bane]

i have tried a bunch of different ones, but i can send the one am using currently if youd like

[cerulean osprey]

Preferably in a codeblock :o

[worn bane]

oh my bad

intents = hikari.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents = intents.all()
commandprefix = "$"
activity = hikari.Activity(type=hikari.ActivityType.playing, name=f"at Paradise Point")
client = lightbulb.commands(command_prefix=commandprefix, intents = intents, activity=activity, status=hikari.Status.ONLINE)```

@cerulean osprey ^^

[cerulean osprey]

Uhhh... I have never used hikari tbh... but I can still try to help. Whats the error?

[worn bane]

for that specific code, the error is

but when i put a similar code into the

@bot.listen(hikari.StartedEvent)
async def on_start(event):

code, it says that 'BotApp' isnt defined or somthing along those lines

[cerulean osprey]

Tbh.. this is the only code that I see that I have used myself. What I have used is this:

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="-",
                      activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=""))
``` Im not too sure how that would work in hikari tho. Im sorry but you might have to wait for someone else to help :(

(before anyone yells at me to rename it to bot, no 😂 )

[vale wing]

Don't you set an activity with change_presence()

[cerulean osprey]

Thats how you change one iirc

Cuz thats async

[worn bane]

when i use 'commands.Bot' it says it is undefined

[cerulean osprey]

Cuz thats not a hikari thing I dont think

[vale wing]

Idk anything about hikari so can't help with it probably

Also why does it sound like a sort of anime

[worn bane]

i was just watching a video on how to set python up, and they recommended hikari as discord.py has apparently stopped??

[cerulean osprey]

Cuz its Japanese iirc lmao

[cerulean osprey]

It stopped being managed

[cerulean osprey]

It didnt stop working

[vale wing]

Um so you basically started learning python from a discord bot?

[worn bane]

no i couldnt figure out how to put it into discord, and hikari was used

i have learnt python at school

[vale wing]

Oh k

[worn bane]

so does that mean it can still be downloaded and used properly?

[vale wing]

Could you give a link to that video

[cerulean osprey]

Its what I use 🤷‍♂️

[worn bane]

sure thing one second

[high nexus]

yo I still can't figure out why my queue.join() isn't unblocing

blocking

[worn bane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc1VpbRd4is&t=0s

[vale wing]

You want it to be blocking or just want an explanation

[high nexus]

the queue drops down to 0 but queue.join() stays blocked

[vale wing]

And what is queue

[high nexus]

in asyncio

[austere solstice]

downloading kernal32.dll

[vale wing]

@worn bane as I noticed, in that vid some steps are missing.

1. Python installation. You need to download the interpreter from https://python.org and run the setup, putting the "Add Python to PATH" checkmark on.

2. Installing VSC Python extension. Head to "Extensions" tab in VSC (cubes), search python and install it

3. There's a better way of activating venv in VSC: after you created it, press CTRL+SHIFT+P, search "Python: Select Interpreter" and select the one with venv (not global). If it tells you that scenarios execution is prohibited in this system just use global if you don't wanna watch another tutorial of how to enable it

[worn bane]

ahh thank you, i have decided to go to discord.py as i misinterpreted what i was told. how would i uninstall an API such as hikari?

[vale wing]

As it is installed in venv, you can just delete your venv folder and create new one

[tropic flame]

where if a person doesnt send a command once 24hours a role will be removed from him and if he does send then he has the role for 24 hours from when he sent it

[supple thorn]

is this a question

[tropic flame]

nah w8 i was following it up

i cant make the thing where if he sends the command he will keep the role for next 24 hours

[vale wing]

Store the limit time in a db and periodically fetch the users to take the role off from using the tasks.loop

[supple thorn]

wait didn't i already helped you with this

[vale wing]

In sqlite you could do something like

user_id INT | takeoff_time REAL```

And store the timestamps

[supple thorn]

just use datetime.timedelta and store it in a db and check using tasks.loop if current time matches or is over the timedelta you set in the db

[vale wing]

When he uses the command do something like INSERT OR UPDATE or whatever it's called in sqlite

Ok it's INSERT OR REPLACE

[slate swan]

Actually, this should work too

[supple thorn]

\✅

copy this

and paste it directly into the string

"✅"

[boreal ravine]

Or \N{WHITE CHECK MARK}

[hasty stump]

how can i specify that only @staff can use that command

[boreal ravine]

Add a check

[hasty stump]

roles?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

[hasty stump]

i mean is there anyway i can add the role id there?

[boreal ravine]

yes sure

[hasty stump]

only they can access

[hasty stump]

can you help

[boreal ravine]

add this as a decorator to the command and pass the role ID

[boreal ravine]

I am helping

[hasty stump]

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(role id here)

like this?

wait

[boreal ravine]

yes

[hasty stump]

@commands.has_role(role id here)

[boreal ravine]

Or that way

[oblique adder]

How to create an announcement channel ?

[cerulean osprey]

This might be a basic question but I want to make sure

my_list = ["a", "b", "c"]

if x == any(my_list):
``` this will check to see if x = either a, b, or c right?

[oblique adder]

i cannot find in docs

[maiden fable]

Hi

[maiden fable]

What's that

[cerulean osprey]

So in that way, if I put channel ID's there and check using message.channel.id == any(my_list) would it do the same?

[boreal ravine]

Ask in #python-discussion and no

[cerulean osprey]

Was more asking here cuz of this^

[cerulean osprey]

This was just my thinking

[austere solstice]

some kinda windows update

[buoyant zodiac]

why do they stack, this is DiscordComponents

[boreal ravine]

• show me how you send the message
• charge your phone

[buoyant zodiac]

await ctx.send(embed=embed,
        components = [
      Button(style=ButtonStyle.URL,label="Invite",url=f""),Button(style=ButtonStyle.URL,label="Support Server",url="")

    )

[boreal ravine]

Try making it a nested list

[buoyant zodiac]

what is that

[boreal ravine]

[["hello"]]

A 2D list

[buoyant zodiac]

@boreal ravine thank you

[boreal ravine]

👍

[hasty stump]

can you tell me how can we setup a database and api to store peoples data?

[rocky trench]

Do you want to make a custom one? PostgreSQL is a good one

[hasty stump]

do i need to setup PostgreSQL in any hosting or someth?

[rocky trench]

Just install it on ur pc

[hasty stump]

oh

[hasty stump]

then? how can i setup

i am new in coding database and api stuffs

trying to learn

[austere vale]

what is this?

[buoyant zodiac]

@role.command()
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_roles=True)
    async def add(self, ctx, user: discord.Member, role:discord.Role):
            
        if role.position > ctx.author.top_role.position:
            return await ctx.reply("you cannot give someone a role higher than your top role")
        elif ctx.author is ctx.guild.owner:
            pass
        else:
            try:
                await user.add_roles(role)
                await ctx.reply("**role** gave")
            except:
                await ctx.reply("**role** failed")
``` i want it so if the guild owner uses the command they can do whatever

[buoyant zodiac]

your sending to many requests

[austere vale]

how do i fix it?

[buoyant zodiac]

is it not letting you run your bot?

[austere vale]

no i cant run it

[buoyant zodiac]

your api blocked im pretty sure.

[austere vale]

isnt there a way to clear console or smth and get it running again?

[hasty stump]

press f5

use that method

[boreal ravine]

yes, but it doesn't work that way

[buoyant zodiac]

wait

[austere vale]

what method?

[worn bane]

anyone have some code that sends an embed to a user, my code doesnt seem to work

[boreal ravine]

Show your code

[hasty stump]

f5

[buoyant zodiac]

hes on repl

[hasty stump]

oh

[boreal ravine]

What database do you wanna use?

[hasty stump]

i didnt noticed

[hasty stump]

for a beginner suggest, idk anything perfectly

[buoyant zodiac]

?

[worn bane]

  if msg.startswith('Hello!'):
    await message.author.send
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="HELP", description="tEXT", color=0x619491)

This works without the embed, but when i go to add an embed code it does not work

[boreal ravine]

sqlite/tortoise/mongo ig

[hasty stump]

 if msg.startswith('Hello!'):
   embed = discord.Embed(title="HELP", description="tEXT", color=0x619491)
   await message.author.send (embed = embed)```

try that i think

[boreal ravine]

Do ```py
await message.author.send(embed=embedVar

[hasty stump]

oh how can i connect database ?

[buoyant zodiac]

message*

[boreal ravine]

what db do you wanna use firstly?

[hasty stump]

think like mongodb

[boreal ravine]

alright

[hasty stump]

i want to store staff team data there
and they can also import data So when people will do ?staff list they can see all the peoples name in list whoever merged account into bot

[boreal ravine]

ok

[hasty stump]

should we talk here?

[boreal ravine]

no, in #databases

[boreal ravine]

Put that below embedVar

[worn bane]

whoops that was a mistake on my behalf, apologies

it works! thank you so much, have a great night

[boreal ravine]

👍

[worn bane]

@boreal ravine im so sorry, ive hit a wall in my knowledge even when its the simplest thing.

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="HELP", description="tEXT", color=0x619491)
    await client.message.send(embed=embedVar)

which part of this is incorrect? it doesnt seem to be sending to new users

(what you mentioned hasnt seemed to fix it)

i just had to resend it so it was in the right chanlel

[boreal ravine]

Any errors?

[boreal ravine]

show your updated code

[worn bane]

nope, it just doesnt seem to work

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="HELP", description="tEXT", color=0x619491)
    await member.send(embed=embedVar)

[boreal ravine]

do you have member intents?

[worn bane]

i do not, let me add those now

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents = intents.all()

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="HELP", description="tEXT", color=0x619491)
    await member.send(embed=embedVar)

@boreal ravine

[boreal ravine]

ok now try again

[worn bane]

nope, still not working..

[supple thorn]

did you enable member intents in the developer portal?

[supple thorn]

also did you add these in your bot constructor?

[vale wing]

Redefining intents

First 2 statements are unnecessary

[worn bane]

im only relatively new to this bot thing, which part do i add memebr intents in? is that in the OAuth2 section?

[vale wing]

How is client defined

[vale wing]

Bot tab

[worn bane]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
these?

[vale wing]

Yes

[worn bane]

client is
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ';')

[vale wing]

intents = discord.Intents.all()```
Basically enables all intents

[vale wing]

You need to add intents kwarg and parse your intents to there

intents = discord.Intents.all()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=";", intents=intents)```

Like this

[supple thorn]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[worn bane]

okay ive got the intents and enabled them on the bot

[supple thorn]

or you can keep listening to Exenifix if you like the human touch

[worn bane]

so now i guess i reinvite the bot to the server?

[supple thorn]

no

[worn bane]

or will it automatically

[vale wing]

No need to

None of scopes were changed

[supple thorn]

just restart your bot

[worn bane]

okay so then it should work?

[supple thorn]

and it should work if you set it up right

[swift imp]

how to use bot mention as prefix?

[vale wing]

Prefix helpers or smth

[worn bane]

amazing, it did.

thank you ALL so much, you were all such a big help

have a great night!!

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix check the docs about parsing functions to there

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command\_prefix

The command prefix is what the message content must contain initially to have a command invoked. This prefix could either be a string to indicate what the prefix should be, or a callable that takes in the bot as its first parameter and discord.Message as its second parameter and returns the prefix. This is to facilitate “dynamic” command prefixes. This callable can be either a regular function or a coroutine.

An empty string as the prefix always matches, enabling prefix-less command invocation. While this may be useful in DMs it should be avoided in servers, as it’s likely to cause performance issues and unintended command invocations.

[feral lichen]

@bot.command()
async def dmtwo(message):
  user = bot.get_user(842756567527063582)
  await user.send("Hello!")

[supple thorn]

and?

[feral lichen]

hey i was wondering what was wrong with this. Basically someone uses the command dmtwo and it sends me hello.

[vale wing]

And for prefix helpers https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#prefix-helpers

[supple thorn]

no error?

[feral lichen]

holup one sec

[vale wing]

Why do you call the first arg message

It's not an actual message and might cause confusion

[supple thorn]

yeah

[vale wing]

Call it ctx instead

[feral lichen]

yeah so i changed it to ctx just a visual mistake, but yeah no error and dms me nothing

[vale wing]

Do you have DMs opened + do you have an error handler

[feral lichen]

i have dms opened,(i tried it like ctx.author.send("message") and that was fine, and yes im using replit and no errors.

[vale wing]

Check if user is not None by printing it

Replit might have issues with ratelimit

[feral lichen]

ight lemme try it on visual code

no still doesnt work @vale wing

[vale wing]

Have you tried printing the user

[feral lichen]

wym

like in console?

[vale wing]

user = ...
print(user)```

[feral lichen]

let me try and no

[vale wing]

If it turns out to be None, try fetching it with

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_user

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

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

Note

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

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

[feral lichen]

yea it said none, ill reply with any issues i might have

[vale wing]

In newer versions there's get_or_fetch_user

[feral lichen]

just to be clear in user_id i would paste my id right

[supple thorn]

yes

[feral lichen]

im confused on using fetch_user on how to use it

[slate swan]

Do you have member intents?

cause get_user needs it.

[feral lichen]

indeed

[vale wing]

get_user gets a user object from cache, and fetch_user makes a call to API

All API calls in dpy must be awaited

[feral lichen]

eh idk how i feel about this topic. I kinda just wanted to make a messaging system towards me. But thank you for the help i will come back to this in the future

How to check discord.py version

[boreal ravine]

The hell?

[supple thorn]

Happens to me too

I don't know why but sometimes when there's new messages it doesn't show them

So there's like a big time gap or any gap with the messages

[swift imp]

how to disable the use of the command in private messages?

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.guild_only

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.guild\_only

@discord.ext.commands.guild_only()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that indicates this command must only be used in a guild context only. Basically, no private messages are allowed when using the command.

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

[swift imp]

Thx

[supple thorn]

Just add this check to your command

[swift imp]

ok

[brisk zodiac]

How do i make a command that the bot with mention me?

[modest bear]

is there is function i can use to send a message before the bot shuts down

[brisk zodiac]

nope like when i use a command the bot will mention me

[boreal ravine]

not possible, you can use a webhook though

[slate swan]

i have intents on but it still returns member as none i dont know whats happening here
intents = discord.Intents.all()
@client.event async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload): guild = await client.fetch_guild(payload.guild_id) member = guild.get_member(payload.user_id) if payload.message_id == 958650021224517662 and guild is not None: if payload.emoji.name == "🏵️": role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=958249933050368100) await member.add_roles(role)

[boreal ravine]

do you do ```py
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

[slate swan]

yes

if it matters i did
client = commands.Bot( command_prefix = "!", case_insensitive = True, intents = intents )

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner\_id

The user ID that owns the bot. If this is not set and is then queried via is_owner() then it is fetched automatically using application_info().

discord.Member.mention

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

[tidal hawk]

Can Discord bots see when somebody replies to a message?

[wild oxide]

em = discord.Embed(title=Member Unbanned, color=0xff00ee, description = f'<@{ctx.author.id}> unbanned <@{member.id}>')
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?
how to fix

[tidal hawk]

Title must be a string

[tidal hawk]

Oh I could check if the MessageType is reply

[cedar stream]

Put member unbanned in “”

[wild oxide]

thanku

[tidal hawk]

Yep

message.MessageType.reply-> True/False

[placid skiff]

Github finally accepted me to the github copilot technical preview, i'm so happy 😄

[supple thorn]

Congrats Blvck

[bleak karma]

help? this error is showing up even though me and my friend has 2fa on

[pliant gulch]

Are you the owner of this bot, or is it your friends?

[bleak karma]

im the one who created the bot

[pliant gulch]

You need 2fa on then

[bleak karma]

i have it on

[pliant gulch]

Are you sure?

[bleak karma]

very

[pliant gulch]

Just make sure, to be 100% sure

Ok, well that would be the only possibility then

Because bot's inherit 2fa from their owner's account

[bleak karma]

its enabled

[pliant gulch]

When did this start happening?

[bleak karma]

oh wait

[bleak karma]

oh my gosh rlly?

[pliant gulch]

Yes

[bleak karma]

my bad i made the application on my alt account

[pliant gulch]

Checks out

[bleak karma]

😭

[empty quest]

i have an

@bot.event
  async def on_message(message)

and an

@bot.command

When I send a message to my bot, to trigger @bot.command, it also triggers @bot.event. I do not want this to happen, because two messages are being sent instead of one. How do I fix this, so that if an @bot.command is triggered, then the @bot.event will not be triggered?

[hoary cargo]

Well
Depends what you have inside the event

[empty quest]

its the ai chatterbot library

[hoary cargo]

on_message will watch over all messages sent by users

[supple thorn]

Hmm tough

You could set it up so that only messages in a certain channel triggers the on_message

[empty quest]

on message is triggered without any command prefix in dms and with command prefix '-' in servers

i might have an idea

[supple thorn]

You could check if the channel is a DMChannel

If it is then ignore

@empty quest what

[empty quest]

i have an idea:
i can create a command prefix for the commands, and keep that as bot.commands
for the event, i can rename to client.event, i can say on message, if it starts with that prefix, then break, else, generate ai response

would this work?

[pliant gulch]

Or, just ignore any user who is a bot

!d discord.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.bot

Specifies if the user is a bot account.

[empty quest]

thats not the issue

[pliant gulch]

You'd check via message.author.bot

Then return if the message author is a bot

[supple thorn]

He has a chat bot ai

[pliant gulch]

I thought the issue was the bot would trigger the thing?

[empty quest]

no

[supple thorn]

He wants it to not respond if it's triggering a command for the ai

[empty quest]

i want the ai not to respond if its a command

[supple thorn]

Yes

That's what i said

[pliant gulch]

Oh, you could call get_context and see if ctx.valid is True

[placid skiff]

just use the listen decorator, commands will be triggered if the message has the prefix, otherwise it will use your on_message event

[pliant gulch]

If it is, it's in a command context

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_context

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

Returns the invocation context from the message.

This is a more low-level counter-part for [`process_commands()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands "discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands") to allow users more fine grained control over the processing.

The returned context is not guaranteed to be a valid invocation context, [`Context.valid`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.valid "discord.ext.commands.Context.valid") must be checked to make sure it is. If the context is not valid then it is not a valid candidate to be invoked under [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

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

[pliant gulch]

You call this on your message object, E.g message

It return's a Context object, you'd then check ctx.valid

If it is valid you'd return since it's in a command context

[placid skiff]

.

[empty quest]

which is an easier option?

[pliant gulch]

Using a listener doesn't filter out messages with a command in them

All it simply does is subscribe a callback to the MESSAGE_CREATE event from the gateway

You would still need to check if there is a command in the message

What I mentioned would do what you want

[placid skiff]

uhm nope, not entirely sure

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[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...

[pliant gulch]

Ok, show me how the bot filters out commands in a listenber

Do you realise, listen(...) just does the same thing as bot.event, except it doesn't override the previous subscribed callback?

It doesn't filter out messages that have a command context

Not without implementing a check yourself, which is what I'm suggesting obviously^

[placid skiff]

Yup but remember that everytime you run a command the on_command event is triggered

[wild oxide]

import os
import subprocess
import sys
subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', 
'py-cord==2.0.0b4'])
reqs = subprocess.check_output([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip',
'freeze'])
installed_packages = [r.decode().split('==')[0] for r in reqs.split()]
os.system('python main.py')```
anything wrong here?

[placid skiff]

triggering that event should automatically ignore the on_message event used by a listener

[supple thorn]

That's not discord related

[wild oxide]

it is from my discord bot code

[pliant gulch]

Yes... but do you know it also dispatches on_message????

A command is still invoked VIA a MESSAGE

Otherwise you'd be invoking from thin air

[placid skiff]

Uhm well let's read the source code

[supple thorn]

Just because it's from a discord bot code it doesn't mean it's discord py related

[pliant gulch]

🤦 What does the source code have to do with this issue?

You cannot invoke a command without sending a message, that would dispatch MESSAGE_CREATE

You cannot somehow invoke the command from thin air

[wild oxide]

it's py related duh

[supple thorn]

I could get my aiosqlite code from my bot and show it here and i'll get put in the #databases channel

[empty quest]

anyway what are the lines of code i need to write to make it ignore an on_message when a command is triggered? i didnt understand the first time it was explained, as im still a beginner in discord.py

[wild oxide]

this isn't database related .

[supple thorn]

Exactly

[placid skiff]

when you send a message, the bot dispatch the first event related to that message, even if the message has the prefix it will dispatch the on_message event and if you have an on_message event called with an event decorator it will execute that code

[pliant gulch]

Inside of your on_message, call ctx = await bot.get_context(message), now ctx has captured the Context object, you'd then check using an if statement if ctx.valid is True, if it is return

[wild oxide]

then where can I get help

[pliant gulch]

So.... you're proving my point

[supple thorn]

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[placid skiff]

if you have no event decorators in your code then in the backedn it will be registered as a listener

btw if the message has a prefix

[pliant gulch]

No? Not in this case

[placid skiff]

and no on_message event using event decorator are triggered

[pliant gulch]

commands.Bot has a default on_message

[placid skiff]

it will call the on_command event

[empty quest]

like this?

[pliant gulch]

That's how your commands work

[pliant gulch]

Correct

[placid skiff]

nope you have to declare it

[pliant gulch]

Read the source code then

[supple thorn]

I like when andy and Blvck argue

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/170ab7b2bb92ba987ed63f8b7688aae0e699da63/discord/ext/commands/bot.py#L1276-L1277

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/bot.py lines 1276 to 1277

async def on_message(self, message: Message, /) -> None:
    await self.process_commands(message)```

[pliant gulch]

Well look what we have here 😳

What do you know huh, it does have a default on_message 😂

Otherwise your commands wouldn't work without manually calling process_commands

[placid skiff]

that's an event, not a listener

[pliant gulch]

And do you know what a listener is

It's an event, but doesn't override the previous subscribed callback

[placid skiff]

exactly

[pliant gulch]

So.... it would still call this

[placid skiff]

and what's on_command?

[pliant gulch]

What does on_command even have to do with this?

[placid skiff]

an event, in other terms a callback

on_command will be triggered everytime you run a command

[pliant gulch]

on_message -> if command dispatch on_command

You're still running on_message

[empty quest]

now it's not running the @bot.command at all - its just going for @bot.event all the time

[cloud dawn]

Andy is right but to be fair, who reads the source code..

[pliant gulch]

Ah, wait I did a dumb logic. Because if the context is valid and you return everytime, that removes process_commands. You should probably check for the prefix like you said earlier then

[slate swan]

hi uh i did not find the right channel for help but i wanna ask a question

[cloud dawn]

Sure, it's quite rn.

[slate swan]

i downloaded pyinstaller like 10 times and its not running

[cloud dawn]

pyinstaller is a pypi right?

[slate swan]

i think so

[pliant gulch]

If you want to make the prefix dynamic you can get it via bot.get_prefix so you won't need to hardcode it as well, E.g ```py
if content.startswith("-"):
...

vs

if content.startswith(await bot.get_prefix(message)):
...

[cloud dawn]

!pypi pyinstaller

[unkempt canyon]

pyinstaller v4.10

PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package.

[slate swan]

no like i already downloaded py installer

but the commands are not working

[placid skiff]

Happy now?

[cloud dawn]

Did you read the official docs?

[slate swan]

no?

[cloud dawn]

https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/v4.10/usage.html

You either gotta go to the location of pyinstaller or add it to PATH.

[slate swan]

thats my problem i cant find the pyinstaller location

[cloud dawn]

You are running it at users\binya is the pypi located there?

[slate swan]

not sure, binya is the name of the computer

[pliant gulch]

You clearly don't understand the problem that OP was asking about. They want to ignore COMMANDS in on_message, and they have an AI Chatbot... The input isn't always test

[slate swan]

so it need to be there

[pliant gulch]

You cannot hardcode in the OP's case

[placid skiff]

that will work anyway

my god, a message listener will not be triggered with a commands

[pliant gulch]

Ok, print message.content inside of your listener

Then run bot a command, and a regular message

and see the output, and send it in the chat

[slate swan]

probably

[cloud dawn]

type pip show pyinstaller

Where is it actually?

[slate swan]

found it

to add it now to path?

[cloud dawn]

Let's use it first.

[slate swan]

?

[pliant gulch]

And what do you know!! You just proved that commands still dispatch on_message

[cloud dawn]

So in that folder open cmd or powershell, win11 cmd is in the context else hold SHIFT+RIGHT_CLICK

[pliant gulch]

😂

Oh wait, I read this wrong. Print the content

[placid skiff]

Nope, it would send &test, if you were correct

[pliant gulch]

And are you stripping the prefix?

You can add a kwarg to the bot's constructor that strips the prefix

[slate swan]

ok did so

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/170ab7b2bb92ba987ed63f8b7688aae0e699da63/discord/ext/commands/bot.py#L178

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/bot.py line 178

self.strip_after_prefix: bool = options.get('strip_after_prefix', False)```

[placid skiff]

that's all that is written in the cog

[cloud dawn]

Now your command line is also in that folder.

[pliant gulch]

Show your bot's constructor

[slate swan]

...

[placid skiff]

Lol is a subclass

[pliant gulch]

Ok?? That doesn't change anything

[slate swan]

to like cd it?

[pliant gulch]

Show the constructor & super().init(...)

[cloud dawn]

No just open the folder in the explorer and SHIFT+RMB in the folder

Way faster, you can do cd it.

[placid skiff]

https://pastebin.com/t0raVbAv

[slate swan]

not that good with computers, may i ask what is RMB

[radiant wing]

What's off here? Does not work

[cloud dawn]

RightMouseButton

[slate swan]

oh ok

[slate swan]

wait

[cloud dawn]

First send isn't awaited.

[slate swan]

wdym explorer

[radiant wing]

Damn, thx

Need to be more careful with that

[slate swan]

?

[cloud dawn]

Context menu

[slate swan]

i dont see context menu

[cloud dawn]

Your path has to be inside the folder of your executable.

Okay so in cmd right.

[slate swan]

yes

[cloud dawn]

This is my path now C:\Users\eboss>

[cloud dawn]

So i will execute command inside that folder.

[pliant gulch]

Literally, runs on_message

[bleak karma]

help?

i tried banning a bunch of raiders but it gives an error

[slate swan]

what command?

[placid skiff]

mhhh

[cloud dawn]

Any i want, but i can only execute programs in that folder without specifying the path

[pliant gulch]

So, as you can see it does run on_message even when the message is a command 😂

[slate swan]

still not working

[cloud dawn]

Because you are still trying to find pyinstaller inside that folder. As you have said it isn't there

[pliant gulch]

A "command" in the sense of discord.py is library abstraction, you need to create a message, which then sends MESSAGE_CREATE then the wrapper handles parsing the message

[slate swan]

Can anyone tell me, how i can read a file then count for ctx.author in it and do a if statement like this:
if str(ctx.author) more than 3 times in the file:
well in the correct words obviously

i cant figure it out

[slate swan]

binya is the name of my computer my computer name is basicly the computer itself and the c drive

[pliant gulch]

If your command (which is just a message) somehow didn't trigger MESSAGE_CREATE you somehow broke the API

[radiant wing]

@cloud dawn doesn't work still

[placid skiff]

lol

[cloud dawn]

I know but that doesn't mean you can just unspecify the whole file.

[placid skiff]

well btw if you are right i'll not suggest to use the get_context method

[cloud dawn]

Since you are not in the right path you gotta specify the location of the .py file.
