the problem is here ig?

[paper sluice]

no can u send the traceback i.e error message

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

the thing is i have no file called functions

or am i dumb?

@slate swan

[paper sluice]

u can put () which defning params for lambda

[quaint epoch]

btw, can you do ```py
@bot.command()
async def foo(ctx):
pass

@foo.on_error()
async def on_error(error):
print('error')```

[polar plinth]

what

[paper sluice]

it should be lambda k,v: ... instead of lambda (k,v): ...

[quaint epoch]

(lambda arg1, arg2: print(arg1, arg2))('hello', 'world')

ofc you can just set a lambda to a variable and pass the args on that

[paper sluice]

oh yea, didnt even see that lol

[polar plinth]

dude i dont even know where i typed it, functions.py isnt a file

from prefix?

oke wait

need to be in commands cuz of the help cmd

its same as cogs just other file

message to long wait

[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.

wait

ya ok

[paper sluice]

show ur imports

nah thats just discord's shitty way to flagging links, if a link ends with .py it does that

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/kezujocapa

[polar plinth]

not all needed

[paper sluice]

what is functions???

[polar plinth]

oh wait

ohhh

thing is

i need functions

[slate swan]

How do i use discord.Client.wait_for for multiple events? Specifically message and reaction_add

[paper sluice]

what module is it, what does it do, why did u start using it at the first place??

[polar plinth]

imma delete all and start new ig

Oh damn

thanks

Well they have to work together

[paper sluice]

what do u want to add buttons to?

u will obv have to make the 3 buttons and send it with the embed

[onyx apex]

Hello, I am trying to set up a random gif generator from Tenor using the API Key.

I can get it to generate the 1st gif in the query, but not a random one... Can anyone help? Here is my code and a photo (sowing every call of the command generates a new number but how I can get that to pick a new gif, I don't know 😢 )

@commands.command()
  @commands.has_guild_permissions(send_messages=True, embed_links=True)
  async def gif(self, ctx, query):  
      async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
          TENOR_API_TOKEN = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX'
          embed = discord.Embed(colour=discord.Colour.dark_red())
          response = await session.get(f'https://api.tenor.com/v1/search?q={query}&key={TENOR_API_TOKEN}&limit=30&media_filter=basic')
          data = json.loads(await response.text())
          gif_choice = random.randint(0, 29)
          for result in data['results']:
              for media in result['media']:
                  print(gif_choice)
                  embed.set_image(url=data['media'][gif_choice]['url'])
      await session.close()
      await ctx.send(embed=embed)

However, if I change embed.set_image(url=data['media'][gif_choice]['url']) to embed.set_image(url=media['gif']['url']) it shows the first gif from the query as shown in this photo... It doesn't randomise from the top 30 on that search 😢

[loud junco]

im killing someone in #help-pear

he is desperate for trying to help me

[onyx apex]

??

[loud junco]

go and take a look

[loud junco]

then u will understand what i mean

[onyx apex]

I don't understand how that helps my issue? 😕 😄

[loud junco]

im not answering ur question

just telling im killing pepo in #help-pear

[loud junco]

and idk how to fix ur problem either

[slate swan]

gif_choice is takes a random number from 0 to 29

[slate swan]

And btw thats a loop for result in data["..."]

the code is over-complicated than it should be

[slate swan]

Not really i just dont know how to use the api

[slate swan]

I mean, api usage "might" be correct, but, the code seems over-complicated ngl

[onyx apex]

I am still learning, may be over complicated, but it works 😄

[slate swan]

I think it should be something like py array = [r for r in data["results"]["media"] data = json.load(await response.text()) embed.set_image(url=random.choice(array))
note : idk though, i've never used the api so ye

[slate swan]

Yep

[onyx apex]

Ok, let me try this 🙂

[slate swan]

Eh im not sure 😭

Btw do ["results"] and ["media"] return a list?

[slate swan]

at least dont cry 😔

[slate swan]

😔 im at school rn and i have exam in the next hour (i didnt know that i have an exam but ye)

How can my bot check if someone else than the author reacted to the message and then send a message, that only the guy read? Like Dank Memer or is it not possible?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[slate swan]

There is an event but i forgot the event name

I think its on_reaction_raw

[onyx apex]

It doesn't seem to no

[slate swan]

Can u print(data["results"])

install the module

!dotevn

[unkempt canyon]

Using .env files in Python

.env (dotenv) files are a type of file commonly used for storing application secrets and variables, for example API tokens and URLs, although they may also be used for storing other configurable values. While they are commonly used for storing secrets, at a high level their purpose is to load environment variables into a program.

Dotenv files are especially suited for storing secrets as they are a key-value store in a file, which can be easily loaded in most programming languages and ignored by version control systems like Git with a single entry in a .gitignore file.

In python you can use dotenv files with the python-dotenv module from PyPI, which can be installed with pip install python-dotenv. To use dotenv files you'll first need a file called .env, with content such as the following:

TOKEN=a00418c85bff087b49f23923efe40aa5

Next, in your main Python file, you need to load the environment variables from the dotenv file you just created:

from dotenv import load_dotenv()

load_dotenv(".env")

The variables from the file have now been loaded into your programs environment, and you can access them using os.getenv() anywhere in your program, like this:

from os import getenv

my_token = getenv("TOKEN")

For further reading about tokens and secrets, please read this explanation.

[slate swan]

wait u can get that with os module

iirc there is a library called dotenv

[slate swan]

you can only send ephemeral messages through views (buttons/slash commands, etc.)

[onyx apex]

Yes, it lists 30 urls

[slate swan]

Can i see the urls (output)?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @onyx apex!

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

[velvet compass]

On pypi it is python-dotenv

[slate swan]

Oh ye ye

Oh then

[slate swan]

and how would that work with slash commands?

[onyx apex]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/heperubuja

[slate swan]

@onyx apex since that returns a list of urls then make a random.choice to get "random url" from the list

[slate swan]

which library are you using?

random.choice(data["results"]["url"]) something like this

I think its python-dotenv

[slate swan]

discord.py

[slate swan]

did you install dpy 2 already?

[slate swan]

nah

oh no

:<<

i just slept when i was making giveaway cmd

Maybe eh restart ur ide?

idrk

pip install python-dotenv

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()

_s = os.environ.get("key")

[velvet compass]

Did you install dotenv or python-dotenv?

Oh

I'm too slow

[slate swan]

...?

you dont know the "name" of the library you installed?

[onyx apex]

This just comes up with syntax error, I can't see why though... embed.set_image(url=random.choice(data["results"]["url"]))

[slate swan]

well, you need dpy 2 master branch installed to use its slash cmds which are horrible

!e py import random d = {"d" : {"url": "7", "url" : "3"}} print(random.choice(d["d"]["url"]))

Oh

[unkempt canyon]

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

[slate swan]

Mmm

[onyx apex]

Yeah, I have random imported too, I'm confused 😄

[slate swan]

Well im not sure 🤷🏾🤷🏾

this conversation is fun and painful to watch

😔

hi

[onyx apex]

No problem, thanks for trying to help 🙂

[slate swan]

hola sparky

.

[slate swan]

hola :D

await channel.send("uwu")

do it after all your imports

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os
import discord
import config
load_dotenv()
token = os.environ.get("BOT_TOKEN")

bot.run(token)

[slate swan]

not defined

if any((channel for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels if channel.mention == msg.content)):

oh you're using this huh

..

well, you cant really send messages anyways like that

then ill use this only

bad

huh

wow which theme

maybe fit that into a list comprehension?

[await channel.send("exists") for channel in ctx.guild.text_channels if channel.mention == msg.content else await channel.send("doesnt exist")]

hm, the dotenv module still doesnt work, weird

[slate swan]

... i not only need to send

run: python -m pip install python-dotenv in the terminal, then restart your ide

[slate swan]

well

then you gotta use a for loop

which is bad (according to where you're using it)

..

then instead of waitfor i need to use like this !g st #bot-commands 1 giveaway title

;-;

sheesh, do you have multiple versions of python installed?

why cant i import Button and ButtonStyle?

ew, what library is that

well, then you know what to do

seemed like a 3rd party lib

they're the same?

idk, maybe?

uh

<@&831776746206265384> (sorry for the ping, somebody posted an inappropriate video which they deleted)

noice

attacking

idk some kind of missile target

at begn

probably a terrorism supporting one

ye

pip install ig

change your python version in vs code from the bottom left corner. Period.

..

[slate swan]

a big hand of applause for sparky

they got multiple python versions installed

and I'm getting ignored for that

I think I will just go away from here now

Do. You. Have. Multiple. Python. Versions. Installed. ?.

..

wha-

then check huh 😭

is there any input method in discord ui

[slate swan]

Modals (or normal text inputs)

modals ok

[loud junco]

if x.type == string:

[slate swan]

from discord import ui

class Questionnaire(ui.Modal, title='Questionnaire Response'):
    name = ui.TextInput(label='Name')
    answer = ui.TextInput(label='Answer', style=discord.TextStyle.paragraph)

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Thanks for your response, {self.name}!', ephemeral=True)

[loud junco]

do i write it like this?

[slate swan]

if isinstance(x, str):
  ...

wow

[loud junco]

ok

[slate swan]

its best ever for what im doing!!!

[slate swan]

wow!

[loud junco]

congrats

[slate swan]

aval in disnake?

[loud junco]

🥳

[slate swan]

why do I always get ignored 😔

[loud junco]

:/

[slate swan]

:D

[loud junco]

alt f4
jkjk

[slate swan]

||I told them to restart twice before so idk if that really is the issue||

[slate swan]

3 time alt+f4 then enter key

[loud junco]

gg

[slate swan]

funny

[loud junco]

im going to sleep byebyeeee

[slate swan]

good nighto, have a good sleep!

It might help?

i think he will show u how to "run file" "download modules" etc (not sure) if u still need help just go to that guy's channel

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

pfftt

sure

go ahead

[maiden fable]

Wait

What's that syntax highlighting?

Nvm it's JS

msg = await ctx.send()
await msg.edit(embed=None, content="Embeds Removed!")

Bro

Don't do dpy if udk basic Python

[slate swan]

just edit the code you extra knowledgeable person true

[maiden fable]

Cba to edit the code even when I gave the code he literally has to copy paste

[maiden fable]

Why do u have a try except?

you are not making and sending the embed tho, in the ctx.send

[slate swan]

how do i tell if an arg is a number, i tried

@commands.command()
async def _info(self, ctx, *, var):
    if not isinstance(var, int):
        return await ctx.reply('Not XUID')

    await ctx.reply('Is XUID')

and it doesnt work

it still gives an index out of range error

[final iron]

var will always be a string

You need to type hint it to an int

[slate swan]

the thing is i dont want it to be an int lol, im trying to see if var is a number or not

[pliant gulch]

!d str.isdigit

[unkempt canyon]

str.isdigit

str.isdigit()```
Return `True` if all characters in the string are digits and there is at least one character, `False` otherwise. Digits include decimal characters and digits that need special handling, such as the compatibility superscript digits. This covers digits which cannot be used to form numbers in base 10, like the Kharosthi numbers. Formally, a digit is a character that has the property value Numeric\_Type=Digit or Numeric\_Type=Decimal.

[final iron]

I was about to do that

[trim fulcrum]

how can i make it where if you put a certain word in your status it sends a message and adds a role and if you remove that word it removes role and sends a message

[stone moon]

how can i find a numeric role in a users roles?

[slate swan]

I watched a youtube Tutorial on modals and thats literally the same as in the video

[boreal ravine]

it takes an intents kwarg now

[lofty pecan]

where is Spyder lol

[boreal ravine]

Th?

[slate swan]

how do i hidden reply to a message

with ctx.reply

[lofty pecan]

Thonny, very famous IDE, mostly used in computer science classes I think

[lofty pecan]

what?

[lofty pecan]

you mean how to get role per id ?

(ctx.author).roles

[trim fulcrum]

how can i make it where if you put a certain word in your status it sends a message and adds a role and if you remove that word it removes role and sends a message

[lofty pecan]

that gives you a list of the roles

[lofty pecan]

[r.id for r in user_role] creates a list of the role but ID

[lofty pecan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53807024/how-would-i-detect-user-status-discord-py

[slate swan]

That works with interactions

[slate swan]

Oh i didnt see

[stone moon]

How to check if the user has a role that is a digit like 1, 2, 3 etc but I got it myself now

[lofty pecan]

just grab the roles of the user and check if the role you are looking for is in that list

[cloud dawn]

[role for role in member.roles if role.name.isdigit()]

[lofty pecan]

^

[opal cosmos]

hey so what does the email scope do on my discord bot application?

[lofty pecan]

or you do it directly like that

[cloud dawn]

!d str.isdigit

[unkempt canyon]

str.isdigit

str.isdigit()```
Return `True` if all characters in the string are digits and there is at least one character, `False` otherwise. Digits include decimal characters and digits that need special handling, such as the compatibility superscript digits. This covers digits which cannot be used to form numbers in base 10, like the Kharosthi numbers. Formally, a digit is a character that has the property value Numeric\_Type=Digit or Numeric\_Type=Decimal.

[cloud dawn]

filter(lambda role: role.name.isdigit(), member.roles)
``` this would be faster

[compact ruin]

if result[8] >= 50:
   print("Value is Greater Than 50")
else:
  print("Value is less than 50")
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

The Object has a value of 51..For whatever reason it says its a None Type...

Does Anyone Know Why?

[cloud dawn]

well result variable is None

Print just result

[compact ruin]

That works, but i want the code to check if it is above 50...

[cloud dawn]

What does it print?

[lofty pecan]

sultan, the error means that the object you check in is None

[compact ruin]

51

[lofty pecan]

what does the print say

[cloud dawn]

If result prints 51 why are you indexing it at 8?

[compact ruin]

There are 9 Rows in the Database

I want it the check the 8th row

[lofty pecan]

what does it look like

is it a json?

[compact ruin]

SQL

[cloud dawn]

database objects use key search not index search.

[lofty pecan]

how did you get the result

[compact ruin]

db = sqlite3.connect('data/Test.sqlite')
        cursor = db.cursor()
        cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM TestTable WHERE user = {user.id}")
        result = cursor.fetchone()

[scarlet aurora]

        if time:
            await asyncio.sleep(time)
            await member.remove_roles(role)``` Can someone tell me why my tempmute is broken? It doesn't unmute after specified time

[lofty pecan]

don't do str formating in sqlite

[cloud dawn]

Did the bot got restarted in that period?

!tags

[scarlet aurora]

no

[lofty pecan]

cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM TestTable WHERE user = ?", (user.id,))

[cloud dawn]

!sql-fstring

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[compact ruin]

It works fine for everything else apart from that one command.

[lofty pecan]

have a look here

[lofty pecan]

no, because it can leads to big error and completely ruin your data base

[slate swan]

@slate swan I've installed Discord.PY2 but all my code is wrong now because its still in version 1.7.3. How could i rewrite it the fastest way?

[compact ruin]

i see

[cloud dawn]

Does it also not work when time is set tot like 10 sec?

[scarlet aurora]

that's what I did for the test

[slate swan]

use find and replace?

[scarlet aurora]

10 second

and i waited like a min then just gave up

[cloud dawn]

Is time an int? maybe conversion is going wrong.

[slate swan]

but now i will have to rewrite all my slash commands right?

[slate swan]

probably

[cloud dawn]

If you use an extension for 1.7.3 yes.

[lofty pecan]

well if result is 51 you can't use an index, especially with fetch_one

[compact ruin]

Alr i made the changes.

[cloud dawn]

You can't index database objects.

[lofty pecan]

fetch_all returns a tuple, you can get the index from that it works just fine

[cloud dawn]

Since those are a list of objects and fetch one fetches the object.

[lofty pecan]

anyway, if the result 51 there is nothing to iterate through

[cloud dawn]

He want's to index a row.

[lofty pecan]

@compact ruin in your data base, did you use int or str for the user id ?

[compact ruin]

Int

[compact ruin]

wrong message but yh int

[cloud dawn]

Doesn't explain the None type subscription otherwise it would say int. My guess is that that user isn't in the database.

[lofty pecan]

yeah

That's why I asked about the type

[compact ruin]

User is in the database. It prints the name and everything fine. Also prints the 51 for the user

[lofty pecan]

then why do you want to get the index

[cloud dawn]

Could you show that?

[lofty pecan]

omg are you trying to get the 9th row of your database

by typing [8]?

[cloud dawn]

Yes that's what I'm trying to explain to you lol

[lofty pecan]

lmao

I didn't get that haha

[cloud dawn]

That's why I said this #discord-bots message

[lofty pecan]

yeah Sultan, you're selecting all the rows with * and then just one with fetch_one

[compact ruin]

im trying to get the 8th row

[lofty pecan]

use fetch_all instead

if you want all the rows

[cloud dawn]

No fetch all returns all rows, when searching on id you should only get one.

[compact ruin]

I just want the one not all

[cloud dawn]

result["row_name"]

[lofty pecan]

look here panda

"SELECT *

[lofty pecan]

also that

pretty much like a dictionnary

[compact ruin]

Tried that already lol

[lofty pecan]

result = cursor.fetchall()

[compact ruin]

Does not work

[lofty pecan]

there is no _

can you show the entire thing

[cloud dawn]

cursor.execute(f"SELECT colmn FROM TestTable WHERE user = ?;", (user.id,))

[lofty pecan]

yeah I told them about that already

[compact ruin]

hold up..

[lofty pecan]

right there lol

[compact ruin]

would a Cog listener be a problem?

[cloud dawn]

I changed the *

[compact ruin]

Cause for commands its working fine

[lofty pecan]

depends

are you in a cog and is this a command

that's why I asked you to show the entire code

[compact ruin]

this is a listener.
Commands work fine

[lofty pecan]

[worldly garnet]

hello guys

i need some help

so you know how you can do like .get picture (picture used as an example, the bot would reply to this message by sending a photo)

idrk if we can pull it off in python cuz i learned it from js^

[compact ruin]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self,message):
        db = sqlite3.connect('data/Test.sqlite')
        cursor = db.cursor()
        cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM TestTable WHERE member_id = ?", (user.id,))
        result = cursor.fetchone()
        await asyncio.sleep(0.5)
        if result[8] >= 50:
          print ("Value is Greater than 50)
        else:
          print ("Value is less than 50)

[opal cosmos]

ok so ive got a verify command im working on, where the bot will send a code and the user has to repeat it, but i wanna make it so the user only has a specific amount of time to repeat the code, how would i do this?

@bot.command()
async def verify(ctx):
  code = ("N6hT91")
  await ctx.send(f"**Please repeat the following phrase:**\n\n{code}")

  def check(m):
    return m.content == f"{code}" and m.channel == ctx.channel
  
  await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
  await ctx.send("test successful")

[lofty pecan]

do you want to select all columns or just one

[compact ruin]

Add a timeout

[compact ruin]

Just the 8th Row

[lofty pecan]

add timeout in wait_for

[opal cosmos]

that doesnt help me, i asked "how to add timeout" and your reply is "do it"

[lofty pecan]

row or column

[compact ruin]

but yh one row

[opal cosmos]

how?

[compact ruin]

Oh sorry my bad lol

[opal cosmos]

can u send me link to some example?

[lofty pecan]

by looking at the function and see that timeout is an argument

[compact ruin]

Column not row lol

[lofty pecan]

yeah

so as panda said earlier you don't want to SELECT *

just the column you desire

[lofty pecan]

right there

to select the 8th column just put the column name instead of colmn

[compact ruin]

still says none type

[lofty pecan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[lofty pecan]

@opal cosmos

[lofty pecan]

what did you type

[compact ruin]

SELECT Field8 FROM TestTable etc

[worldly garnet]

can i use .send() ?

[lofty pecan]

show me the name of the columns

[opal cosmos]

yeah sry i forgot to tell u i got it figured out

[compact ruin]

Hold up lemme try something rq

[lofty pecan]

and did you remove the [8] from your result

[compact ruin]

yh

[slate swan]

SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN3, COULUMN4 FROM table_name

is how you select columns

[lofty pecan]

then the element you're looking for isn't in your databse

[lofty pecan]

that's what they did

[slate swan]

I just saw the select * message and wrote it

[paper sluice]

hi

[lofty pecan]

sup'

[compact ruin]

Nvm fixed it, Works now.

[lofty pecan]

nice

[compact ruin]

One more question is there a way to get the reply to a message someone gives?

also ty for the help you lot

[slate swan]

Hello I’m making a bot that allows you to send message to a channel to echo your message via dms

But I wanna make it so if someone sends discord link it blocks them

[maiden fable]

istg APIs suck

[lofty pecan]

well

if message start with

[slate swan]

Author.block()

[lofty pecan]

don't remember the syntax but something like that

[maiden fable]

Your bot cannot block someone

[slate swan]

ahem ahem

[maiden fable]

especially proxying ahem ahem

[slate swan]

@bot.event()
async def on_message():
If message.content(“hi”):
await ctx.send(“hi”)

[slate swan]

Sad

[slate swan]

proxy servers uwu

[maiden fable]

Wait what is this

[slate swan]

I love proxy servers and the fact that you can edit data using them

[maiden fable]

No, it is a pain to try proxy requests from one port to another 😔

[slate swan]

well

[maiden fable]

if "hi" in message.content:
    await message.reply("Hi!")

[slate swan]

Whoops

You get the idea

He wanted help on how to reply

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
message = "him"

if "hi" in message:
print("in")

[unkempt canyon]

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

in

[maiden fable]

ik ik message.content.split() exists

[slate swan]

@maiden fable uhhh help

[maiden fable]

?

[opal cosmos]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

from discord.utils import get

  await ctx.author.add_roles(ctx.author, role)

bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

im still working on verify command and it wont give me the role. pls understand that i havent dealt with roles in a while so if its obvious i just dont realize it

it says member has no attribute server

[slate swan]

Please don’t use replit

[slate swan]

how to establish just one connection to my sqlite db and store it in a bot variable 😔

[opal cosmos]

no

[maiden fable]

bot.db = sqlite3.connect()

[slate swan]

It’s shares IPs it’s ass

[slate swan]

im using aiosqlite

[maiden fable]

just use a task and set the count to 1

[opal cosmos]

idc

[slate swan]

or should I subclass Bot and add the variable(s) there?

[maiden fable]

Still u need an async function

Idk if u need to await the connect call

[slate swan]

you need to

[slate swan]

await bot.add_roles

sift showed me an example a few days ago

i cant find it now 😔

[maiden fable]

then either use a task, event or the run (or was it start?) function

[slate swan]

?

[pliant gulch]

class Client(discord.Client):

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:
        self.db = await connect(...)

[opal cosmos]

member still has no attribute server

[slate swan]

ok nvm found sift's message thanks

[lofty pecan]

it's guild not server anymore if that's the issue

[paper sluice]

u can do something like this

async with aiomysql.connect() as con:
    bot.var = con

if it can be used as a cm

[slate swan]

well

[opal cosmos]

that makes no sense, guilded is a different app XD

[pliant gulch]

Just assuming, but wouldn't the context manager close the connection when exiting

So, in some cases using bot.var in this case, would be closed already

[lofty pecan]

discord py changed its functionning so now most of the commands that uses .server changed to .guild

[pliant gulch]

In this case you want to use it for the life-time of the bot, so you should open it without a context manager, then manually close inside of Bot.close

Which you can override to do so quite easily

[opal cosmos]

ok but now its saying that bot has no attribute add_roles

[paper sluice]

i dont think so, it will close after the bot is shut down if ur using it with startup

[opal cosmos]

i dont think its the same reason

[paper sluice]

what i mean is something like this

bot = ur bot
async with bot:
  async with aio...:
    bot.var = ...
    bot.start()

[pliant gulch]

Ah that makes more sense

But nesting the context managers just look weird IMO

But then again, not even sure if discord.py actually adds the signal callbacks correctly to handle SIGTERM (On windows that is)

[opal cosmos]

@lofty pecan

[maiden fable]

member.add_roles

Not bot.add_roles

Where member is a discord.Member object

[opal cosmos]

ok but it says unknown role

i have the name right tho

[maiden fable]

code

Hi

[opal cosmos]

what?

[slate swan]

@slate swan How can I rewrite the slash commands? What to import? I tried googling it but couldn't find anything that helped me out

[maiden fable]

show code

[maiden fable]

use dpy 2.0 or a fork

[opal cosmos]

install discord-py-slash-commands

[maiden fable]

No

[opal cosmos]

like as a package

[maiden fable]

Still no

[opal cosmos]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import random, os, asyncio
from discord.utils import get

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

@bot.command()
async def verify(ctx):
  code = ("N6hT91")
  await ctx.send(f"**Please repeat the following phrase:**\n\n{code}")

  def check(m):
    return m.content == f"{code}" and m.channel == ctx.channel

  member = ctx.author
  
  await bot.wait_for("message", timeout=10, check=check)
  
  role = get(member.guild.roles, id="965658220830007387")
  
  await ctx.send("test successful")
  await member.add_roles(member, role)

bot.run(os.getenv("TOKEN"))

i changed to id and it still didnt work

[maiden fable]

just do member.add_roles(discord.Object(role_id_here))

Also IDs are int and not string

[opal cosmos]

ooohhh

[opal cosmos]

thx so much that finally worked!

[slate swan]

just installed dpy 2.0

[maiden fable]

Cool

[maiden fable]

Oh cool.

[slate swan]

pip install discord-py-slash-commands

[opal cosmos]

hmm

must be wrong package, lemme see if i can find the right one

[opal cosmos]

not plural command

singular, discord-py-slash-command

gtg too so dm me if you have any more trouble

ill get back to you later

[slate swan]

pip install discord-py-slash-command

[opal cosmos]

idk bro works for me

[slate swan]

ok

[trim fulcrum]

how can i make it where if you put a certain word in your status it sends a message and adds a role and if you remove that word it removes role and sends a message

I'm having errors starting my bot, I have no code exept the code to start it up

[oblique laurel]

Prob have that be in the on_member_join event ig

Then wait for a bit while the msg is sent, or make your own custom welcome

[weak gyro]

how do i fix this?

[winged bone]

You called .strip() on an object that was None

could you show your code?

Sums up abt half the people here unfortunately

[onyx apex]

I have this currently:

@client.event

    await member.add_roles(role)
    channel = client.get_channel(---)

    welcomemessage = f"Hello"
    embed = discord.Embed(title='Welcome!',
                          description=welcomemessage,

    message = await ((---).fetch_message(---).last_message_id)
    emoji = '\n{WAVING HAND SIGN}'
    await message.add_reaction(emoji)

Doesn't seem to add a reaction to the automatic message send by discord when someone joins

hm seems like it didn't split the arguments correctly

could you remove the user parameter of the command and try again?

Seems like this is redundant

[lofty pecan]

Hi there, so my bot runs thanks to a script, but I was wondering if there was a way I could send message directly inside the console in channel the bot has access to

[west lily]

Then how do I indicate on which server it was banned?

[winged bone]

So you type in some message into the console and it sends it to a channel?
Could be difficult because you shouldn't block the asyncio loop. But I think there are various discord.py debuggers which allow you to input code on the fly

[lofty pecan]

oke

[winged bone]

I don't quite understand you. It looks like you're not using user at all though, so it shouldn't make a difference

Could you try it?

[rugged maple]

I have a problem

can someone please help me with it

@slate swanI ended up degrading to python 3.9, and it fixed it, now the bot is online

but, how do I make it say things now

[slate swan]

how would that change something?

because of pipes?

can someone give me an example of a custom check in events?

[grave summit]

hi guys i have the redirect link to add my bot to the server but it isnt working

if i want automod to be disabled, the event should be disabled guild wide, so how would that look like

    pingscore = 0
    while pingscore != amount:
        await ctx.send(message)
        pingscore = pingscore + 1```

i learning how to make discord bots on python, i made command that will ping someone, how to make command that will immediately stop pinging without waiting for the end of the cycle?

[cold sonnet]

I'm gonna say one word, that's what your bot will be from the discord API

banned

temporarily

it's gonna be ratelimited

[lime pelican]

how do i do slash commands do a command thats setup as .work to be /work as a app command?

without fully recoding the command can i do a sub command

[grave summit]

im trying to add my bot to a friends server but its not adding for whatever reason

he has a react to verify for the server

could that cause issue of my bot not being able to join

oh yeah its getting stuck in the verify to react channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[idle laurel]

when making a bot for multiple guilds is there anything different needed to allow commands to run without delays (waiting for commands to finish in other servers)

[cloud dawn]

Welcome to async programming.

[idle laurel]

im assuming with the async functions its no needed?

but if any httpx requests i gotta user the async client

[cloud dawn]

Indeed but not to be mistaken, there are still some sync code like for loops and while loops, use tasks for those. A lot of people also mix sync libraries with discord.py.

[cloud dawn]

Thus aiohttp

[idle laurel]

httpx have a built in async request?, or is aiohttp better?

[cloud dawn]

!pypi httpx

[unkempt canyon]

httpx v0.22.0

The next generation HTTP client.

[idle laurel]

im using httpx, not normal requests atm

[cloud dawn]

They are both pretty solid.

[idle laurel]

sound, was hoping i didnt need to change haha

[pliant gulch]

HTTPX Has both Sync and Async clients

[vagrant tree]

Quick question. I have a bot send a message in my server that should ping me. But instead, it just says has text. It's not pinging me like you would think it would. Does anyone know how I can actually make him ping me?

See. Wait

hold on

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Member.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.mention

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

[cloud dawn]

Or @vagrant tree

[verbal silo]

How do I fix "missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents' error

[cloud dawn]

You need to pass intents

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(**kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

New in version 1.5...

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[cloud dawn]

As you can see it's a required arg

[verbal silo]

Yeah but what the final command looks like

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @verbal silo!

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

[verbal silo]

What intent do I put and where someone please help - https://paste.pythondiscord.com/miwiyaxoke

[cloud dawn]

client = discord.Client(intents=Intents())

[verbal silo]

Same error I think It may need the prefix too.

[lofty pecan]

Hey there, is there a way using sqlite3 to get an image in the database and then fetch it to use it in an embed

[cloud dawn]

I don't recommend it but you can convert an image to base64 then decode it again.

[lofty pecan]

should I just with wait_for get the message link ?

if the message get deleted it's bad tho

[cloud dawn]

But you are making slash commands?

[lofty pecan]

people are asked to give the image of the character they're making a card about

but if they just put the image it doesn't take the link

so i could use the message link I guess

[verbal silo]

Can you please open the link I sent to see full script

[cloud dawn]

Then use the attachment.

[cloud dawn]

I did.

[lofty pecan]

and does sql handle that?

[slate swan]

I'm still trying to Rewrite all my code to the D.PY 2.0 version but only the help command works can someone tell me why? There are no errors using the other commands

[cloud dawn]

Not originally but like I said you can convert an img to base64 if you want to do it anyways.

[lofty pecan]

mmh

[cloud dawn]

Where do you think it breaks?

[slate swan]

Idk the help command is in the middle of the code but only that works, the stuff above and bellow doesnt, I dont have a clue why its not working

[cloud dawn]

You got an on_message?

[slate swan]

Not at the time

[weak gyro]

i've got my new bot online, how do i make commands and make it talk?

[lofty pecan]

Wdym by that

[weak gyro]

like commands and stuff

[lofty pecan]

Are you asking how to make discord commands?

[weak gyro]

yeah

[lofty pecan]

You should consider having a look at YouTube tutorials and the documentation of discord py then

That's what I did

[weak gyro]

mk

do i paste it after my like

bot.run("DISCORD_TOKEN")

[brave forge]

how to count how much time a participant spent in voice ?

[weak gyro]

when i do $ping it doesnt do anything

[mortal dove]

Is there any way to send a discord.Message object, instead of specifying content, attachments, embeds, etc?

[weak gyro]

how can i fix it?

[junior verge]

@weak gyro Do you know Python? or did you just started discord.py without any knowledge of python

[junior verge]

add prints

[slate swan]

aight wait

[junior verge]

Then see till where it gets

[weak gyro]

no knowledge

[junior verge]

Then learn python first

[weak gyro]

can you tell me how to fixx my code, first please

[junior verge]

Sure I guess

Send your code again what you got now

[weak gyro]

    await ctx.send("pong!")

bot.run("DISCORD_TOKEN")

oh

[junior verge]

There are too many issues man

If you would know at least the basics of python

Then you can solve this easily

[slate swan]

the argument work before i define the channel client.get_channel but after that it won't work anymore.

[junior verge]

Look at this example:

@client.event()
```py
And you got:
```py
@bot.event()
``` See any difference?

[weak gyro]

one's the client

and ones the bot

[junior verge]

Can you send me it with the prints and tell me till where it prints

[junior verge]

Do you get this issue?

[slate swan]

what should i print the argument?

my bad, it work after i define the channel.. it won't work after the embed i made.

[weak gyro]

not really

[junior verge]

Hm alright let me take a look

[junior verge]

Then learn python please

[junior verge]

I don't see any issues

[slate swan]

would you mind running it?, it won't really work in mine and there's no error

[junior verge]

Sure I'm setting it up

[slate swan]

aight thankss

[junior verge]

Doesn't give any errors for me either

Let me try some things alright

[weak gyro]

@junior vergegot it fixed

from os import getenv
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$', intents=discord.Intents.all())

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user} has connected to Discord.')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("bot is online")

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send("pong!")

bot.run("DISCORD_TOKEN")

[junior verge]

Yeah it wasn't that hard.

Is this your exact code?

[weak gyro]

i was helped but im learning

[junior verge]

What are you even doing

This code still makes no sense bro

[broken elk]

I have a working discord bot online if anyone needs to look at it for help, as long as I can post links

Didn't know if it would be auto deleted

Should be a file button in the top left of the run box

[vagrant tree]

I'm using UptimeRobot and Replit to create a 24/7 Discord bot, but he keeps going down. I've watched a few tutorials, and I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Will UptimeRobot sometimes just not work??

[sick birch]

Because replit is not a host

It's meant for running quick tests and dispose of later

not for long-running processes like a discord bot

[vagrant tree]

But it works for one of my bots...

[sick birch]

That doesn't mean it's good

[vagrant tree]

oooh

[sick birch]

Replit is very unreliable and is not a host

[vagrant tree]

man, that's disappointing

[sick birch]

Consider getting an actual host

[vagrant tree]

Where would I do that?

[sick birch]

Pick a provider first

We had a list of them

how to make it so that if the reason is not specified, then Отсутствует is not written in the chat?

[sick birch]

They could but their infrastructure for the time being is not meant for that

Also the only people really doing that is new users to making discord bots

so it's really not all that much

[vagrant tree]

Wait, so if Replit is unreliable, then why does one of my bots always seem to be online?

[sick birch]

@vagrant tree take a look at this: https://github.com/python-discord/site/blob/main/pydis_site/apps/content/resources/guides/python-guides/vps-services.md

Yeah they have nodejs

[sick birch]

Because it's unreliable

Sometime's it'll work and sometimes it won't

[vagrant tree]

[sick birch]

One of reasons to not be using replit as a host

It's really just a use and throw quick test platform

Hey @mortal dove!

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

Can you help me or can't you? @slate swan

[mortal dove]

https://paste.ofcode.org/bqYvxm7aRUbNyCeH9P2yDN Can anyone help? The traceback doesn't mention any specific code that would cause the error, and the command has worked before.

[sick birch]

Im pretty sure that’s not the full error

[sick birch]

There we are

[mortal dove]

Hm?

[sick birch]

Looks like the issue is in the help command

But you already narrowed it down to that I see

You’re referring to “self.context “ but I’m not seeing where it’s being defined

[mortal dove]

It's defined in self because the main class inherits from commands.HelpCommand

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=commands helpcommand#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand idk how to use bot tags so here's the full link

it gives you a context attribute

[grave summit]

im doing a discord bot with a command that interacts with api with a request.get to get statistics

but i need to format it through json.loads or json.dumps(i cant remember)

but im not sure how do this

[boreal ravine]

json.loads

[grave summit]

ok sweet

[boreal ravine]

no

[grave summit]

await ctx.send(r.get(f'https://api-mainnet.magiceden.dev/v2/collections/{me}/stats').text), json.loads('floorPrice')

so far ive got that on one line

[boreal ravine]

json.loads = loads a string into a dict
json.dumps = dumps a dictionary

[grave summit]

ahhhh

so right now

{"symbol":"sea_shanties","floorPrice":8600000000,"listedCount":46,"avgPrice24hr":8850000000,"volumeAll":46204571198672}

this is the result of my command

so i want to json.loads the floorprice and just receieve that

and divide it by however many 0s

idk how to do multiple lines of code with discord bot command coding

and not sure if i can do all that on one line?

[frozen patio]

👀

[grave summit]

async def magic(ctx, *, me):
    await ctx.send(r.get(f'https://api-mainnet.magiceden.dev/v2/collections/{me}/stats').text), json.loads('floorPrice')

hi jonathan

[frozen patio]

Hi hazbob

[grave summit]

so right now ive got all that on one line of code

but i need to store the r.get request into object/variable?

cant remember what an object or variable is

im rambling through discord😂

[mortal dove]

Can anyone help? I'm making a help command, and get this error. Nor sure what I'm doing wrong, and I don't get any helpful things from traceback.
Code & error: https://paste.ofcode.org/bqYvxm7aRUbNyCeH9P2yDN
yes, that is the entire error
I also tried replacing the entire command body with just pass, and it still gives the same error.

using discord.py

[boreal ravine]

why don't you just do r.get(...).json() then index the dictionary that the json method returns?

[grave summit]

ah ok didnt know that was possible

ty ill give that a go

[boreal ravine]

👍

[grave summit]

how would i write the r.get

is it apart of the @native granite

oh sorry

async def magic(ctx, *, me):
magiceden = r.get(f"https://api-mainnet.magiceden.dev/v2/collections/{me}/stats')").json()
await ctx.send(magiceden)

[boreal ravine]

yes

then index magiceden to get the floorPrice key

[grave summit]

how do i index sorry

also when i do the command above nothing is sent through to discord

[boreal ravine]

>>> dict = {'floorPrice': 10}
>>> dict['floorPrice']
10

[grave summit]

!code

async def magic(ctx, *, me):
    magiceden = r.get(f"https://api-mainnet.magiceden.dev/v2/collections/{me}/stats')").json()
    dict = {'floorPrice': '10'}
    await ctx.send(magiceden)

when i run the magic command nothing is sending through to discord

im not sure if i have the wrong format of running multiple lines of code for discord.py

[mortal dove]

```py
(... your code here)
```

[mortal dove]

Can I see your bot constructor?

[grave summit]

what is a constructor sorry?

im v new

but yes

[mortal dove]

dw, it's the line that goes like

bot = commands.Bot(
  #...
)

[grave summit]

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

its working for all my single line commands, like ctx.send(discord.File)

just this multiple line code im trying to do

isnt sendind

[boreal ravine]

magiceden is the dictionary you're supposed to index

[boreal ravine]

no errors?

[grave summit]

oh im not sure about the message.intents

[grave summit]

oh yeah looks to be a json decode error

not exactly sure what that means

[boreal ravine]

Theres an extra parenthesis/single quote in the URL

[sly hamlet]

what can i do about this? AttributeError: loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts. Consider using either an asynchronous main function and passing it to asyncio.run or using asynchronous initialisation hooks such as Client.setup_hook

[torn sail]

You can’t use the loop property or start tasks.loop in a synchronous function

[sly hamlet]

can i in a cog?

[torn sail]

It needs to be an async function

You can override cog_load to start task

[slate swan]

i have a quart server and discord bot does anyone know how i can send a message in a channel when someone visits the quart page

[sly hamlet]

so can i do sumthing like this? asyncio.create_loop(update_stats(bot))

[torn sail]

bot.loop.create_task?

[loud junco]

if variable isnt in database:
  create one
else:
  pass
```how do u do this

[sly hamlet]

Yes but I still got to figure out how to get this to work in a async function because what I have apparently will not

[loud junco]

if db[f'{userid}{itemname}] isnt in database:
  db[f'{userid}{itemname}] = 0
else:
  pass

[torn sail]

Override the cogs cog_load with an async func and do it there

[sly hamlet]

It's not in a cog

I have it in my main file

[torn sail]

Then override the bots setup_hook

[sly hamlet]

I don't understand what that has to do with it though

[torn sail]

Because u can’t use the loop in a non async function

[sly hamlet]

Ooo

[torn sail]

And setup_hook is async and called at the start

[sly hamlet]

Nor do I know how to overwrite it 😑

[torn sail]

Subclass

[sly hamlet]

Yeah I think I'll just delete this for now

[torn sail]

Alrigt

[sly hamlet]

This seems like a problem that top.gg can help me with at a later date because it's their API

[torn sail]

It’s discord.py related

Not with top.gg

[sly hamlet]

Yes but the loop relates back to their API

[torn sail]

not really

it relates to asyncio

[sly hamlet]

Yeah really it uses their API that's what the loop is for

[torn sail]

subclassing is simple if you wanna try it

from discord.ext import commands

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        self.loop.create_task(...)

bot = Bot(...)

[sly hamlet]

so ```py
class Bot(commands.Bot):
async def setup_hook(self):
dbl_token = "Top.gg token" # set this to your bot's Top.gg token
bot.topggpy = topgg.DBLClient(bot, dbl_token)

    """This function runs every 30 minutes to automatically update your server count."""
    try:
        await bot.topggpy.post_guild_count()
        print(f"Posted server count ({bot.topggpy.guild_count})")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to post server count\n{e.__class__.__name__}: {e}")

    self.loop.create_task(update_stats(self.bot))

[torn sail]

should work

[sly hamlet]

It seems to stop the bot from completely running though

[torn sail]

just remember to use this new Bot instead of commands.Bot

[torn sail]

ohh yeah

do you need to post it right then or can u just post it in update_stats

@sly hamlet

[sly hamlet]

Needs to be posted probably in the run function

[slate swan]

!d not

[unkempt canyon]

not

6.11. Boolean operations

or_test  ::=  and_test | or_test "or" and_test
and_test ::=  not_test | and_test "and" not_test
not_test ::=  comparison | "not" not_test
``` In the context of Boolean operations, and also when expressions are used by control flow statements, the following values are interpreted as false: `False`, `None`, numeric zero of all types, and empty strings and containers (including strings, tuples, lists, dictionaries, sets and frozensets). All other values are interpreted as true. User-defined objects can customize their truth value by providing a `__bool__()` method.

The operator [`not`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#not) yields `True` if its argument is false, `False` otherwise.

[loud junco]

thanks

[torn sail]

no so will update_stats post the bot count? If yes then you dont need to use bot.topggpy.post_guild_count() here

[sly hamlet]

Where are you getting that from I do not have a function called that

[torn sail]

in the self.loop.create_task

[sly hamlet]

It probably needs to be changed to setup hook

[slate swan]

why would you subclass the bot class over using the AbstractEventLoop

[loud junco]

hmm

its getting complicated

[sly hamlet]

It is plus that doesn't even work

[slate swan]

what

[loud junco]

is there a channel

where u can advertise thing?

like my discord bot

[sly hamlet]

That sub class doesn't even work we still get the same error

[slate swan]

ah youre talking about that and what error

[torn sail]

There’s an wait_until_ready lockout

Probably from post_guild_count

So remove that part if update_stats posts

[slate swan]

post guild count method takes the number of guilds

[boreal ravine]

have you learnt python basics before making a discord bot?

[slate swan]

Nope

[boreal ravine]

it's update_stats(self) since self is the 'bot'

[torn sail]

Will it not use bot.guilds?

It takes the bot

[slate swan]

doesn't matter how you get it, but the argument needs to be supplied and they are kot

*not

[sly hamlet]

So remove self?

[boreal ravine]

no.. remove .bot

[torn sail]

I’m surprised topgg won’t do it for you

[loud junco]

i did it

i thought u cant

if f'{userid}{armor}' not in db:
```it just look weird but it works

[boreal ravine]

true, since it has the bot class it can easily access the guilds property

[sly hamlet]

I don't see at all where that is

[boreal ravine]

self.loop.create_task(update_stats(self.bot))

[slate swan]

Actually it does, it's a Optional argument, they examples used them

[sly hamlet]

But this needs to be down inside my run function otherwise the bot does not work

[torn sail]

Oh ok makes sense

[sly hamlet]

Then self would not work and it would need to be bot

[boreal ravine]

thats not what I meant

it's like doing ```py
bot = Bot()
bot.bot

[torn sail]

In this class self is the bot object

[sly hamlet]

But that piece of code that runs it does not need to be up there it needs to be inside the run function of the bot

[sly hamlet]

So instead of bot for the function I need self

[torn sail]

run is not async so you can’t use loop. setup_hook gets called before it logs on so same as if u were to call it in start

[sly hamlet]

My run function is a async

[torn sail]

Well then u can use loop there

[sly hamlet]

That's what I'm doing but inside of the setup hook we still get the same error and it still does not work

[torn sail]

Show code for run

[sly hamlet]

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        dbl_token = ""  # set this to your bot's Top.gg token
        bot.topggpy = topgg.DBLClient(bot, dbl_token)

        
        """This function runs every 30 minutes to automatically update your server count."""
        try:
            await self.topggpy.post_guild_count()
            print(f"Posted server count ({bot.topggpy.guild_count})")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to post server count\n{e.__class__.__name__}: {e}")

        
async def sync_commands(bot):
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    await bot.tree.sync()
    for guild in bot.guilds:
        await bot.tree.sync(guild=guild)

async def main():
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.botut')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.fun')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.nsfw')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.pic')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.helpmenu')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.admin')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.ut')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.mute')
    await bot.load_extension('cogs.testmusic')
    asyncio.create_task(sync_commands(bot))
    bot.loop.create_task(setup_hook(bot))
    async with bot:
        await bot.start("")```

[loud junco]

i forgot how to make emoji into letters again

[boreal ravine]

you don't need to create a task for the setup_hook, discord.py already does that for you

[loud junco]

something like this
<:pogchop:917408218240671755>

[slate swan]

why not use a for loop to load cogs?

[sly hamlet]

So what do I need to do?

[slate swan]

nothing

it gets fired on startup

[boreal ravine]

remove bot.loop.create_task(setup_hook(bot))

and whats bot in the main function?

[sly hamlet]

Doing that makes it not work again

[slate swan]

because bot its undefined

[sly hamlet]

So that's going to stop the entire bot from working and not even run with no error

[slate swan]

youre subclassing bot so your bot object is your own class so you would need to access an instance with self

[slate swan]

that would raise an error most likely

[sly hamlet]

It doesn't

The only thing that happens is that my cogs load nothing else happens the bot will not run

[torn sail]

Try removing the post guild count in the setup hook

[sly hamlet]

But it needs it in order to post it

[torn sail]

Then what is update_stats

[sly hamlet]

That is the post the status to top.gg everything inside that function is required by the top.gg library

[torn sail]

So if u have that then why post the guild count

If that does already

[sly hamlet]

That is what it is doing it is posting it to top.gg

[torn sail]

No so you have a function called update_stats

What does it do

[sly hamlet]

No I do not

[sly hamlet]

This is literally my entire main file

[brisk dune]

Hey folks! Bit of a noob-esque question here: which library should I use? There's just so many forks out there! I've programmed a bot in discord.py before the discontinuation of it, so anything similar would be nice. I was thinking pycord, but will I make the right call with that?

[torn sail]

At the bottom

Oh well nvm

It was in the old code
