discord-bots

[brave forge]

Command raised an exception: TypeError: dump() missing 1 required positional argument: 'fp'

[supple thorn]

But still can fuck your shit if you don't know how to fix it

Yes

Also you should use this instead

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listener

[brave forge]

it doesn't work. After this stuff, the bot no longer responds to commands!!!

[velvet compass]

Are you passing the filepath to that function?

[supple thorn]

Hi brad

[supple thorn]

What?

[brave forge]

AND THEN HOW TO ADD TO THE FILE THE WORD THAT I WRITE TO THE COMMAND!?

[glad thicket]

for now I am going to use discord-slash can you tell me what's worng with my code

[supple thorn]

I don't use 3rd party libs for slash commands

[velvet compass]

YOU WOULD WRITE THE WORD TO THE FILE

[supple thorn]

And other stuff

[velvet compass]

sorry, caps

[slate swan]

the library is outdated

[brave forge]

what you wrote to chela doesn't work. And here discord.py broken shit

[supple thorn]

Brad mad 👀

[slate swan]

they shifted to interactions.py

[supple thorn]

That wasn't meant for you

[slate swan]

!pip discord-py-interactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord-py-interactions v4.1.0

Easy, simple, scalable and modular: a Python API wrapper for interactions.

[swift crane]

not working

[brave forge]

WHAT !?

[supple thorn]

You'd need to have message intents on

[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 Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, 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.

[supple thorn]

If you don't already

[swift crane]

i have

[supple thorn]

What's your current code?

[swift crane]

i know and it is on

[brave forge]

so what, and why tell a person something that doesn't work and is broken!?

[supple thorn]

Oh why didn't i see that ctx

It's supposed to be msg.delete()

[supple thorn]

There is no ctx

It's msg

[swift crane]

so...

?

[supple thorn]

No

on_message doesn't take ctx

It's just message

So just use that message object

And delete the message

[velvet compass]

your_word = ... # returned from your command
with open("your_json_file.json", "a+") as f:
    json_data = json.dumps(your_word)
    f.write(json_data)

This could be one solution to your problem. Although writing multiple times to a json file can break it pretty easily.

[supple thorn]

Yes

I have to stop being here 12 hours a day

[swift crane]

good idea (not for us)

[supple thorn]

I should be in the esoteric channel

[swift crane]

?

[brave forge]

and why?

[swift crane]

i love people like you

you helped me

[velvet compass]

And why what?

[midnight gorge]

use 2.0.

also remove third party lib they're not supported for 2.0

[brave forge]

why can frequent addition to a file lead to a breakdown ?

[supple thorn]

The esoteric channel reminds me of the time i tried brainfuck

[velvet compass]

If you append multiple json data structures to the json file, it can become a mess of indented json objects instead of one cohesive data structure

[swift crane]

@supple thorn

[supple thorn]

Oh you're checking the list

Check if the message content is inside the list

[velvet compass]

So you have to take care when reading and writing

[supple thorn]

Not if the list is inside the message content

[supple thorn]

Yes

[quaint epoch]

as a wise old man once said: there's a lib for that

[supple thorn]

How do i get bitches

[brave forge]

or do you think it's better to replace the file with a database?

[supple thorn]

Oh wait... there's a lib for that

!pypi bitches

[unkempt canyon]

bitches v0.0.2

how about you pip install some bitches

[quaint epoch]

secrets to the universe? there's a lib for that

[velvet compass]

A database is better suited for the job, and as linked above, there are some pre-existing libraries that could do the same job without the extra work

[quaint epoch]

god that was sus

[brave forge]

I'm already using sqlite3

[velvet compass]

Oh nice, then you can create a "bad words" entry or something like that, and append your bad words to that column

[loud junco]

maybe rebirth?

💀

[brave forge]

I just don't quite know yet how to use a database instead of a file, well, how to edit the code correctly

[loud junco]

btw how do i make the vote detector in top.gg

[quaint epoch]

prolly use the api

i haven't used it personally

[swift crane]

message = ||fuck||

delete


but

message = ||fuck blabla||


nothing

[loud junco]

🤦

[loud junco]

=.=

whats this

[slate swan]

class Ticket(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
    @discord.ui.button(label='📩Open ticket', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id = 'open-ticket')
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        guild = interaction.guild```
AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'guild'

[velvet compass]

Well, its a good time to learn! I'd recommend making a standalone function to handle the database reading / writing and then using that in your command to add a word / get a list of the words etc

[slate swan]

Please help guys, idk how the interaction is a button

[quaint epoch]

try py if any(i in message.content.lower().replace(' ', '') for i in bad_words): await message.delete()

[swift crane]

msg filter problem

[swift crane]

@supple thorn

you did?

[supple thorn]

Keyword is tried

[paper sluice]

😏

[swift crane]

oh

my god

thanks

[visual island]

The order of interaction callback's parameter was switched to (interaction, button) instead of (button, interaction). Here's the commit url: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/commit/968a1f3

[brave forge]

so far I have only been able to make sure that warnings are issued for bad words and all this is recorded in the database and after 3 warnings a mutation is issued

[supple thorn]

Someone else is trying to figure out what i figured out in the esoteric channel

I wish that man the best

[paper sluice]

👀 imma have a look ig

[velvet compass]

That sounds like it is quite far along then!

[quaint epoch]

im gonna try to make a package that filters swears

[slate swan]

This worked! Thanks a lot man :)

[loud junco]

anyone knows how to do top.gg vote detector?

[quaint epoch]

didn't you ask this before

[loud junco]

but only one person answer me

[supple thorn]

Don't they have a api

[quaint epoch]

is what i said

[loud junco]

but idk how to use it

i tried and have no idea

[supple thorn]

Sounds like a you problem

[loud junco]

💀

[supple thorn]

We can fix that

[loud junco]

ok

maybe i try framing it

[supple thorn]

Do they have a api wrapper?

[loud junco]

i think so

https://docs.top.gg/

[supple thorn]

!pypi topggpy

[unkempt canyon]

topggpy v1.4.0

A simple API wrapper for Top.gg written in Python.

[supple thorn]

^

[loud junco]

i legit send that :/

[glad thicket]

hey how do you create a slash command in discord-py-interactions

[paper sluice]

https://docs.top.gg/api/@reference/
this is the api

[loud junco]

i need webhook for that right?

[brave forge]

simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 27 - line 1 column 47 (char 26 - 46)

I understood about the mistake you were talking about

[supple thorn]

Sent what

[paper sluice]

discord.app_commands?

[loud junco]

the link

[supple thorn]

Yes i know

[paper sluice]

hello brad

[velvet compass]

Haha, yup thats the thing! The way around it is to read all the data in, modify the data, then write it all back to the file. But this can be unstable and slow depending on the file size

[supple thorn]

I'm replying to it so that you get pinged

I did the to show you the api wrapper

[brave forge]

how to solve this I already understood just to make a database

[supple thorn]

Brad always waves menacingly

[paper sluice]

*more reactions for me to click on *

[velvet compass]

You would read all of the data from the file as a json object, modify it, then write all of it back to the file

[slate swan]

transcript = await chat_exporter.export(channel, set_timezone='CET')
        transcript_file = discord.File(io.BytesIO(transcript.encode()),filename=f"{channel.name}.html")```
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'
Anyone knows why this doesn't work?

[paper sluice]

ur try-except is outside the function, indent it properly

[cloud dawn]

Depending on how you open the file, you can either replace it or append it or even more depending on the mode.

[supple thorn]

I just now realize we can't make our own reactions

[cloud dawn]

!with

[unkempt canyon]

The with keyword triggers a context manager. Context managers automatically set up and take down data connections, or any other kind of object that implements the magic methods __enter__ and __exit__.

with open("test.txt", "r") as file:
    do_things(file)

The above code automatically closes file when the with block exits, so you never have to manually do a file.close(). Most connection types, including file readers and database connections, support this.

For more information, read the official docs, watch Corey Schafer's context manager video, or see PEP 343.

[supple thorn]

What

[velvet compass]

Seems like transcript is not getting any value assigned to it

[slate swan]

oh wait

[paper sluice]

😔

[velvet compass]

or, chat_exporter.export() is returning None

[slate swan]

hmm

[supple thorn]

Why

Why limit out power

[cloud dawn]

except has to be on the same level as the try.

[slate swan]

ty

[velvet compass]

#python-discussion and #discord-bots have the reactions disabled because people spamed / abused them (in the past and there have been decisions made on it before my time). And we can't effectively moderate reactions

[paper sluice]

ur try and except block must be at the same indent level

try: 
  ...
except:
 ...

valid ^^

try: 
  ...
  except:
    ...

invalid ^^

[slate swan]

so it should be like this

[paper sluice]

yea

[supple thorn]

Who can make reactions?

[slate swan]

imagine opening a json file every message

[paper sluice]

people with special roles

[supple thorn]

Which

[cloud dawn]

Only staff helpers<

[velvet compass]

Staff (helpers +), and maybe partners?

[supple thorn]

Hello ashley

[paper sluice]

like devs, yters and boosters etc

[slate swan]

Hey Skev

[brave forge]

and how to add something there ?

[supple thorn]

What does bweer mean

[cloud dawn]

They wouldn't give someone who donates to the server extra perms.

[supple thorn]

Beer with an accent?

[cloud dawn]

Well beer was already taken :3

[paper sluice]

maybe they dont, they all have that similar blue color so i might've gotten it confused

[supple thorn]

Is your name enrique

[cloud dawn]

Yes?

[supple thorn]

What does using spotify feel like

[cloud dawn]

..??

[velvet compass]

They are clicking on your profile (and your spotify is linked)

[paper sluice]

ad-less?

[cloud dawn]

I know, I don't hide my name but I don't know why he/she is discussing that here.

[paper sluice]

lil ot here and there is fine

this is a python server not school

[cloud dawn]

But it was so random tough lol

[paper sluice]

that i agree

[velvet compass]

good point. @supple thorn don't disclose personal info on others without that user's permission please

[manic path]

    embed.set_author(XYZ["name"])
TypeError: Embed.set_author() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Embed.set_author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_author

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

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

[manic path]

i also looked at the docs, i came here because i didn't understand the error

[cloud dawn]

Look at the parenthesis and how they are constructed.

(*, name, url=None, icon_url=None)

* < indicating that everything is a keyword argument. And that name here is a required kwarg.

url and icon_url are optional.

[manic path]

right

[cloud dawn]

Do you know how to solve the issue?

how do i add custom emoji to a message?

[slate swan]

msg = send(...)
await msg.add_reaction("<:emoji_name:emoji_id>") #for static emojis
await msg.add_reaction("<a:emoji_name:emoji_id>") #for animated emojis

[slate swan]

add

yea

Not "react"

But it's the same pattern

For , put !Python

example:

[slate swan]

im gonna cry

Add \ before your emoji, send it and copy paste that

<:emoji_name:emoji_id>
^^
you can either get this by putting a backslash before the emoji or put them manually

If you can't send the emoji you can get its id and name

</:kiff:970673345643307088>

Without /

i know

second

Seems like it's not a valid emoji ID

[slate swan]

How to add this thing on my script anyone?

Very original at copying a bot 👀

Web one

[slate swan]

As I said, not a valid ID

How did you tried to get the ID?

Like this

[slate swan]

which thing

[slate swan]

Web

See the screenshot

Not really directly related to bots; more like Python and Replit, which is bad

from flask import Flask

from threading import Thread



app = Flask('ok')



@app.route('/')

def home():

    return "I'm alive"



def run():

  app.run(host='0.0.0.0',port=8080)



def keep_alive():  

    t = Thread(target=run)

    t.start()

I already add this

Again, not directly related to discord bots.

So?

As you can see it's flask

Yes?

So? So this is a topical channel.

[slate swan]

um

You can use a help channel, you can get more information in #❓｜how-to-get-help

Ohh k

i`m send emoji

and

That doesn't give the ID

That gives, most likely, the message ID

oh

😳

how to get ID emoji?

Hmm well, without Nitro it's complicated to explain

ok

Ctrl+Shift+I -> Click on the icon at the top right here

I will try myself

Then hover with the mouse on the emoji

Click on it

You get to a thing like this

And data-id is your emoji ID

970602565244973086

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/970602565244973086.png

More accurate yep

wait

[slate swan]

why not send the emoji and copy the id by right clicking on it.....?

YES, it work

thx so much

[slate swan]

No nitro: can't send

Especially animated ones

[slate swan]

copy ID message

For static you can just use \:emoji:

[slate swan]

well.....

[regal pulsar]

lmao

my friend used the same template

why would you want your serverinfo command to mention every bot in the server 💀

[slate swan]

Not so pog

[supple thorn]

I wonder if you can torture someone with python

Imagining the fbi using python to get intel from the enemy

[quaint epoch]

yeah, fbi is stuck with amd, they need that intel

#databases

[slate swan]

I want bot status like this anyone?

[quaint epoch]

nope

you can't sorry

[amber bloom]

Hello, how to detect if a member have nitro booster please?

[slate swan]

you can't set the bot status to mobile

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.Member

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Member

class disnake.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Guild "disnake.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.User "disnake.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.User "disnake.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.User "disnake.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[quaint epoch]

there should something about premium there

[slate swan]

So how that guy set?

[amber bloom]

thanks

[slate swan]

it's possible to set a bot's status to online on mobile

but not with discord.py or it's forks

[quaint epoch]

eh

!d disnake.User.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.User.public\_flags

property public_flags```
The publicly available flags the user has.

[slate swan]

in discord.js for example you can override the websocket connection parameters

[quaint epoch]

aha @amber bloom there you go

[slate swan]

const client = new Discord.Client({ ws: { properties: { $browser: "Discord iOS" }} });```

i'm not aware of such feat with discord.py

What's that?

[pseudo portal]

can someone help me here, usin pycord, tryina make it so my bot lists all servers its on with invites on run

[quaint epoch]

(slap) BAD JS (slap)

[slate swan]

Ohh k

[quaint epoch]

didn't you ask this before

and i helped you?

[pseudo portal]

im still fcked 😂

been tryin and tryin lol

[amber bloom]

thanks 🙂

[quaint epoch]

for guild in bot.guilds:
  print(f'Invites in {guild}', str(await guild.invites()))```

but isn't that kinda against tos

because in this way, you can find your way in private servers

[pseudo portal]

yo @quaint epoch btw howd u get that date in your bio to be hoverabl with info

[pseudo portal]

aah tysm! i'mma try that

[quaint epoch]

you wanna do that in your bot?

!d disnake.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.utils.format\_dt

disnake.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style='f')```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.10)"), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.10)") or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.10)") for presentation within Discord.

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

[quaint epoch]

i usually use a datetime object

<t:19129393>

<t:19129393>

it returns a string like that

[pseudo portal]

Like I tried tagging my @ in bots bio using <@myid> but that never worked

[quaint epoch]

do member/user.mention

oh in your BIO

[pseudo portal]

Ooh I’mma have to try that when get back on pc 😉 Ty bro

[quaint epoch]

i don't think you can do that

[pseudo portal]

Hmm

Wdym?

[quaint epoch]

you can't mention ppl in your bios

[pseudo portal]

Ooh Aight

[pseudo portal]

Installed?

[slate swan]

Hmm

[paper sluice]

why are u importing all cogs

[slate swan]

😶

[slate swan]

Brother you know how to solve this?

[paper sluice]

install keep_alive

and use os.listdir or pathlib.Path to load cogs instead of importing

[slate swan]

why would you?

Hmm m

i need context on why you would need keep_alive?

isn't it obvious

[paper sluice]

hmm idk

[slate swan]

it is not

botching to keep a container on

[placid skiff]

Shhhh just take pop corns and just enjoy the show

Ops wrong ping

[slate swan]

why would you even need a container?

[sick birch]

replit hosting most likely

[slate swan]

replit yeah

ever heard of context?

thank you

[sick birch]

which is very bad but it works I suppose

[slate swan]

yeah

[atomic wolf]

def __init__(self):

I'm confused about this expression. Could anyone explain it to me?

[slate swan]

time woyls be a module a d .respond isnt a method and dont use time.sleep it would block your whole bot and not the coro so use asyncio.sleep

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[dull terrace]

anyone tried out integrations for their bots yet

seems to not limit it to certain channels

[pseudo portal]

i mean if your admin ofc youd b able to bypass that 😄

but otherwise it works fine for me with normal members

[dull terrace]

i've gotta use another account to test it

makes sense, i didn't think of that

[pseudo portal]

yessirr xD

gl! 😉

[supple thorn]

#python-discussion

Ask somewhere else since it isn't related to discors bots

i m new in json stuff

[paper sluice]

fstrings dont work in json, it only works in python

[wanton veldt]

and its possible to make a server counter in stats using json?

[paper sluice]

calculate it before and put that in the json

[wanton veldt]

how exactly

[slate swan]

the member is returning None

[paper sluice]

[regal pulsar]

fstrings in json lmao

member is none

which means either _id is None

or there isnt any user with that id

[slate swan]

I’m getting an error:

how do i fix the mid is not defined?

[slate swan]

i completed my giv cmd buttons

okay

wanna see?

[slate swan]

yes||n't||

☹️

[atomic wolf]

Is CustomClient a thing like a keyword?

[slate swan]

no?

[atomic wolf]

class CustomClient(discord.Client): def __init__(self): super(CustomClient, self).__init__() with open("allykeys.json") as jfile: data = json.load(jfile) self.oauthsecret = data["oauthsecret"] self.oauthtoken = data["oauthtoken"] self.consumerkey = data["consumerkey"] self.api = AllyAPI(self.oauthsecret, self.oauthtoken, self.consumerkey, response_format="json") def exit(self): exit(0)

[slate swan]

👀

[bleak karma]

is it possible to make self.bot work in button views (repost)

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

yes

[atomic wolf]

I guess I'm confused on the super(CustomClioent, self).__init__

just its purpose

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

wtf is that

class CustomClient(discord.Client):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__(intents=intents) # if you have intents
  ...

[atomic wolf]

It's like a discord stock info bot code example

I keep forgetting to think about indents.

[bleak karma]

sorry if its a dumb question but how

[slate swan]

huh?

[atomic wolf]

I'm used to C++ or something.

curly braces

[slate swan]

are you subclassing the view?

[bleak karma]

yup

[slate swan]

then

pass

class giveaway(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self , bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot

[slate swan]

pass the bot into the init function of the class, then pass in the actual bot when you subclass the view class

class MyUwUView(View):
  def __init__(self, bot: Bot):
    self.bot = bot

@command
await send(view=MyUwUView(bot_instance))

[bleak karma]

oh i see tysm!

[slate swan]

that feeling when you get ignored

:<

[bleak karma]

oh i didnt see your response im so sorry

[slate swan]

np :D

[slate swan]

discord.py 2.0 has mostly shorten the syntax 👀

[slate swan]

idk, discord.py sucks 😔

[slate swan]

ye disnake better

same goes with disnake, I'm against the forks now too

[slate swan]

huh?

then ?

nextcord?

dont

[slate swan]

nextcord is a fork too

yes

but what do u use now

[slate swan]

hikari

😔

why?

[slate swan]

why not?

[atomic wolf]

class CustomClient(discord.Client): def __init__(self): super(CustomClient, self).__init__() with open("allykeys.json") as jfile: data = json.load(jfile) self.oauthsecret = data["oauthsecret"] self.oauthtoken = data["oauthtoken"] self.consumerkey = data["consumerkey"] self.api = AllyAPI(self.oauthsecret, self.oauthtoken, self.consumerkey, response_format="json") def exit(self): exit(0)

[slate swan]

idk much about hikari i mean why u choose it, reason

[atomic wolf]

i was wondering if def __init__(self): is a subclass of CustomClient

[heady sluice]

Ashley's used to hikari being bullied so she just answers why not

[atomic wolf]

and then hence the use of the super keyword

[slate swan]

😳

[slate swan]

probably

its better than dpy at least

[bleak karma]

idk if i did it right but

class verykoolview(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot:commands.Bot, *, timeout=None):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)

and i got an error

[slate swan]

verykoolview(bot instance)

[slate swan]

you need to pass in the bot instance when you instantiate it

[bleak karma]

OH

[heady sluice]

bot.add_cog(CogObject(bot))

(await maybe)

[slate swan]

bot.load_extension('noob')

def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
bot.add_cog(noob(bot))

[heady sluice]

load_extension only calls setup

[slate swan]

i posted half code

[bleak karma]

it worked tysm guys

[marsh thorn]

import time, webbrowser, pyttsx3, discord
from discord import user, message
from discord.ext.commands import bot

Why doesnt this work?

no errors btw

[slate swan]

Missing Message content intent

!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 Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, 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.

[slate swan]

why intents dont raise error

Because it doesn't make sense

..

You just don't get the message content in that case

And for others you don't get the even dispatched

[stone beacon]

Ik the api does return an error it's just some of the forks

[slate swan]

API doesn't return an error at all.

[stone beacon]

I'm 80% sure I saw an intent error already

[slate swan]

It doesn't dispatch the event or doesn't give the content field to the message

[stone beacon]

When Intents first dropped

[stone beacon]

Well interesting

[slate swan]

There is an error when you enable a privileged intent with code and you didn't enable it in the developer portal, yes.

[stone beacon]

Them that's what I probably did

[slate swan]

But not an error because you're trying to access .content or catch the dispatched events, doesn't make any sense

[stone beacon]

CUz when they came and caused an uproar with the new intents I just enabled them locally and saw the error that I had to enable em

[slate swan]

Yeah that's most likely what you've got

[stone beacon]

Ahh j understand

[atomic wolf]

snoggy, what a name, haha

so __init__ is a constructor because just because?

[stone beacon]

Indeed, I've had this name set here since I joined the server back in 2020

[heavy folio]

__init__ is to initialise the obj's class
if you subclass, by calling super().__init__(*args, **kwargs) you are instantiating the object from the original inheritance

[atomic wolf]

so it's a way of making an object have the fields of the higher class despite being originally defined on a lower one?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @marsh thorn! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[marsh thorn]

it didnt have a real token lol

[stone beacon]

Just leave the token field blank

[marsh thorn]

import time, webbrowser, pyttsx3, discord
from discord import user, message, Intents
TOKEN = ''
client = discord.Client()

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

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('botloggedin as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 username = str(message.author).split('#')[0]
 user_message = str(message.content)
 channel = str(message.channel.name)
 print('botloggedin as {0.user}'.format(client))
 if message.channel.name == 'general':
  if user_message.lower() == '!isrunning':
   await message.channel.send("The Bot is currently running")
 return
 client.run(TOKEN)

Why doesnt this work?

[heavy folio]

fyi you can just use message.author.name

[marsh thorn]

ye ik this is just good to learn for bigger projects

[heavy folio]

i can see that you are trying to get message.author's name from ```py
username = str(message.author).split('#')[0]

and no need to cast message.content (already a string) to a string, likewise for message.channel.name

[heavy folio]

what?

[marsh thorn]

like if i have more refrences

[heavy folio]

what doesnt work
any errors?

[marsh thorn]

no errors it just completly doesnt work

[heavy folio]

nah i dont think that's necessary
it doesnt hurt to type a few more characters

[slate swan]

u can simple do message.author.name

[heavy folio]

anything in your console

[heavy folio]

yes, message.author is an instance of Member

!d discord.Member.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.name

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

[marsh thorn]

nope

[slate swan]

im saying not asking

[heavy folio]

question mark tells me otherwise

[slate swan]

..

[slate swan]

Please read the message from the bot again

[marsh thorn]

alr

[slate swan]

There are a few things you're missing

1. Actually use the variable intents, right now you're doing nothing with it
2. Use Bot and not Client, you need to make proper imports which are in the bot's message

[marsh thorn]

ah alr ima try to do that

[marsh thorn]

import time, webbrowser, pyttsx3, discord
from discord import user, message, Intents
from discord.ext import commands
TOKEN = ''
client = discord.Client()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=Intents)

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

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

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
 username = str(message.author).split('#')[0]
 user_message = str(message.content)
 channel = str(message.channel.name)
 print('botloggedin as {0.user}'.format(client))
 if message.channel.name == 'general':
  if user_message.lower() == '!isrunning':
   await message.channel.send("The Bot is currently running")
 return
 client.run(TOKEN)

like this?

[slate swan]

No

Stop using Client

https://i.imgur.com/LuFdcGV.png

And this shows your bot will actually never start

It's indented wrongly

[marsh thorn]

oh alr so all clients should be bot

[marsh thorn]

whats wrong with the indent?

[slate swan]

Correct

[slate swan]

You're executing client.run in the on_message event

  yes()

This is not the same

You have the version above, it should be the version below

[marsh thorn]

oh i see

the bot is in the function

[velvet haven]

lemme try that

[regal pulsar]

you have too many components in your modal

kinda like

[slate swan]

Won't help https://i.imgur.com/KRxFbjZ.png

Still running the bot inside the function, which is not what you want

[slate swan]

uh

[regal pulsar]

embed = disnake.Embed()
embed.add_field()
embed.add_field()
embed.add_field()
embed.add_field()
embed.add_field()

something like that

[slate swan]

Embeds are not modals

Modal*

[regal pulsar]

i know

[slate swan]

Fields are not components

[regal pulsar]

its an example...

[slate swan]

Lol

You're just adding too many components, for example fields to write in

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

How much maximum can I add

[regal pulsar]

what

oh i edited it on discord

didnt see the indent

[regal pulsar]

ye ye wait

editing

[slate swan]

No idea, might want to ask in the discord.gg/discord-developers server

.

[marsh thorn]

eyyy it works

[slate swan]

:(

[quaint epoch]

kek

[slate swan]

That doesn't exist

[quaint epoch]

alr

[regal pulsar]

ye

on_member_ban

[slate swan]

!late

[regal pulsar]

😩

[slate swan]

I got first but...

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[slate swan]

Your program is already running, stop it first

Xd done

Does anyone have any example to make a welcome image with PIL?
I can't seem to figure it out

[quaint epoch]

bow do i check if a member is timed out, i.e updated (on_member_update does not look for timeouts)

[maiden fable]

Huh it isn't triggered?

[quaint epoch]

nope

!d disnake.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.on\_member\_update

disnake.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Member "disnake.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• nickname

• roles

• pending...

[maiden fable]

Prolly a bug in the Discord API

[quaint epoch]

well, im going to try it

[slate swan]

Hey hunter how are u 👋

[maiden fable]

@pliant gulch u got any insight on this?

[maiden fable]

Hi

[modest brook]

hi

[slate swan]

Hello 👋

member return none

use member = bot.get_user(id) or await bot.fetch_user(id)

[pliant gulch]

It should be dispatching GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE because timeout endpoint is really just PATCH guilds/guild_id/members/user_id

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'avatar_url_as'
I am trying to make welcome message in PIL

[slate swan]

how did you check it in the on_member_update event?

yep its a coroutine

[quaint epoch]

nope, checked it rn

the docs say it doesn't include timeouts, but it does in the api

[slate swan]

try avatar.url

[quaint epoch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

notice the "how"

[quaint epoch]

oh i just created an on_member_update event rn

and it ran every time i muted someone

[slate swan]

muted? or timed out

[quaint epoch]

timed out

[slate swan]

so the event works...

[quaint epoch]

yes

[slate swan]

coroutines are functions which you need to await

[maiden fable]

@quaint epoch did u test the event?

[quaint epoch]

yes

[maiden fable]

And it isn't dispatched for timeout? @quaint epoch

[quaint epoch]

nope it is

[maiden fable]

So it's dispatching?

[quaint epoch]

yes

docs are strange

[maiden fable]

Cool

Yea they are outdated

[quaint epoch]

mhm

[slate swan]

huh?

use the master branch docs, not stable

[quaint epoch]

👀

it's in my bookmarks, it's going to stay there

[cloud dawn]

There is no command_prefix set.

[olive osprey]

I'm using disnake, it's working without that. The prefix is working fine, I just don't get the slash command shown for some reason anymore

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop.next_iteration

When the next iteration of the loop will occur.

[cloud dawn]

You got an error?

A loop.

Combine it with a database and you're ready.

[olive osprey]

Nope, the bot normally runs, everything works, the prefix also works normal but for some reason it just doesn't show me the slash command, as said it did 10 min ago

[cloud dawn]

What did you change?

[olive osprey]

I just removed the help command as I'm currently rewriting my old bot, then it stopped working

[cloud dawn]

If you reverse that it works again?

[olive osprey]

I just saw in the docs this exists:

sync_commands_debug=True

I'm gonna try that real quick

[olive osprey]

nope, already tried

[heady sluice]

[olive osprey]

what

[slate swan]

I haven't used the library in a while but I guess if you want to add reaction, then you should "reply" instead of "respond"?

[heady sluice]

you oversaw the error

[slate swan]

By the way hoomans, what is this rate limit thingy?

[quaint epoch]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[slate swan]

bruh

[quaint epoch]

just to be safe

429s/ratelimits are where you send too many requests to the api in a certain period of time, so the wrapper/api temporarily bans you from sending more

like spamming d in a server, eventually discord will tell you to be less spicy, which is the ui version of ratelimiting

[slate swan]

Anyway, so my bot was temporarily restricted from using the discord API. When I checked the error, it was because of payload of that raw_reaction_add thingy.

[quaint epoch]

kek

[slate swan]

I can send my code if you want but like how do I get rid of that?

[quaint epoch]

well, if it is because of the payload i can't do anything

you'll have to wait until the ratelimit is over

[slate swan]

Just check once more if this code is badly designed please.

        new_emb.set_footer(text = f"ID:- {payload.member.id}")
        new_emb.set_thumbnail(url = payload.member.avatar_url)
        for fie in emb.fields:
            if fie.name.startswith(_special_emoji):
                new_emb.add_field(name = f"~~{fie.name}~~", value = '\u200b', inline = False)
            else:
                new_emb.add_field(name = fie.name, value = '\u200b', inline = False)
        _rmsg = await message.channel.send(embed = new_emb)
        if not _reacts:
            await message.channel.send(f"Congrats <@{payload.member.id}>! You have finished all your tasks :partying_face:")
            return
        for i in _reacts:
            await _rmsg.add_reaction(i)

I guess the code is too confusing especially without any initial detail . Anyway, thanks HRLO.

[olive osprey]

Ok so,

@bot.slash_command(description="hi")
async def hi(inter):
  await inter.response.send_message(f"hi {inter.author}")


@bot.slash_command(description="Developer command.")
async def reloadbot(inter):
  if inter.author.id == 703671503954378782:
    embed = disnake.Embed(title="Sucessfully reloaded bot!", description=f"The cog {cog} has been successfully reloaded.", color=disnake.Colour.green())
    for filename in os.istdir("./cogs"):
      if filename.endswith(".py"):
        bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
    await inter.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
  else:
    await inter.response.send_message("a")

For some reason the upper slash command "hi" is working fine, but the other one doesn't. It doesn't even get shown for some reason.

[zinc otter]

with the new update of text channels inside a voice channel

how do u get the text channel?

[heady sluice]

what

[slate swan]

text channels inside voice....?

[zinc otter]

here there are none i think

[slate swan]

how will it work when it isnt even showing up-
try adding the guilds_ids kwarg

[zinc otter]

one sec

like this

[slate swan]

my_msg is already a Message object whih has no attribute as message

[olive osprey]

Doesn't change anything, I do have the test guilds set up:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="beta ", test_guilds=[966350034822135878], sync_commands=True,  case_insensitive=True, intents=intents, strip_after_prefix=True)
bot.remove_command("help")

The "hi" slash command is showing up, the other one isn't that's my problem

[slate swan]

my_msg.add_...

[slate swan]

weird

[olive osprey]

Yeah, I kinda figured it out, a disnake developer told me that it's an API bug due the discord update or something, I reinstalled it and now it works. Anyways, thanks for trying to help

[slate swan]

what is it?

either the message is not being sent

[little ivy]

why do my buttons stop working after like 5 minutes on the same message?

[vale wing]

Is this a giveaway bot

If so asyncio.sleep hmmmm

[vale wing]

Could you show your implementation of those buttons

Most likely due to timeout set on view

[sacred oyster]

What's the difference between asyncio.sleep() & time.sleep()?

[vale wing]

asyncio one is non blocking and time is

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

[sacred oyster]

Non blocking?

[vale wing]

Read the embed above

[vale wing]

Default timeout of View is 180 seconds, to ignore it, use View(timeout=None) and for this case I recommend using persistent views

Also it's better to subclass your views cause that way the code looks cleaner

@slate swan dpy 2.0?

@slate swan what is the type of ctx

[sacred oyster]

From API

[hexed junco]

Discord.py is out of support, so stuff may not work

[daring olive]

wdym?

discord.py was unarchived a month (or more?) ago

they have a channel of dev updates that you can follow on their server: https://discord.gg/dpy

[vale wing]

@slate swan print(type(ctx))

[vale wing]

Issue is not with permissions

[vale wing]

Wrong also this is not dpy

[brave forge]

in discord.py version 1.7.3 is it possible to make commands that will do something for a certain amount of time ?

[little ivy]

that didnt fix it :/

[slate swan]

Why?

[maiden fable]

what dpy version u using

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[regal pulsar]

its not that long ;/

[maiden fable]

It is

[slate swan]

yes but it's glitching out due to discord escape characters

so just put it in the paste service, takes like 10 seconds to do so

also yeah, indentation is way messed up on discord

[regal pulsar]

oh yeah

k

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zokavigacu

i wanna be able to do something like

?kick nyx

without mentioning

[slate swan]

how to set security level for serverinfo?

you just check a role or something because its definitely not the accounts security level as it would be unsafe

[slate swan]

thats the servers moderation level?

yea

[regal pulsar]

!d discord.Guild.verification_level

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.verification\_level

The guild’s verification level.

[slate swan]

nvm what i said as its a guild

thx

i thought it was an account shouldve seen the invoke message

[regal pulsar]

lol

is there a mention object

[slate swan]

no

just an attr

[regal pulsar]

yeah but

i want to check if a mention is passed in a command or a string

like

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.mentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.mentions

A list of Member that were mentioned. If the message is in a private message
then the list will be of User instead. For messages that are not of type
MessageType.default, this array can be used to aid in system messages.
For more information, see system_content...

[regal pulsar]

hmm

[slate swan]

or just have a member argument if you want it to take a member object

[stone beacon]

d.py converters still work though right?

[slate swan]

how to mark the number of people with a certain status?

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

yep

[stone beacon]

If so then ^

[slate swan]

the converter should work yes

how to mark the number of people with a certain status?

[regal pulsar]

i want it to be a member object if its a mention

[slate swan]

you would have to iterate thru guild.members and check their status.

[regal pulsar]

and a string if its a string

[slate swan]

wdym?

[slate swan]

use Union

!d typing.Union

[unkempt canyon]

typing.Union

typing.Union```
Union type; `Union[X, Y]` is equivalent to `X | Y` and means either X or Y.

To define a union, use e.g. `Union[int, str]` or the shorthand `int | str`. Using that shorthand is recommended. Details...

[slate swan]

just use pipes

[slate swan]

check the pep^

but

[slate swan]

what was your issue

!rule 4

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

4. Use English to the best of your ability. Be polite if someone speaks English imperfectly.

[slate swan]

im not going to use a translator

same sorry

[brave forge]

how to make the bot delete its message 30 seconds after sending ?

[regal pulsar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zokavigacu

[slate swan]

await send("stuff", delete_after=30)

[brave forge]

@slate swan aren 't you tired of writing the same thing ?

[slate swan]

not really

[regal pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx: commands.Context):
    msg = await ctx.channel.send("Ok")
    await asyncio.sleep(30)
    await msg.delete()

[regal pulsar]

oh ;/

[slate swan]

bro

[slate swan]

bro

ctx.channel and .sleep🗿

you know that the member converter convers the name and ids as well right?

[regal pulsar]

yeah

but lets say i wanted to do

?kick sar

[slate swan]

why do a incheck though

[ivory cave]

for how long have yall been programming ?

[slate swan]

and sarry gets kicked

[ivory cave]

curious

[regal pulsar]

my friend wants to be able to do pass a bit of their name in

[slate swan]

about one year and 2 months

[regal pulsar]

2 months

[ivory cave]

ah nicee, keep on goin

[regal pulsar]

actually less cuz of exams

[slate swan]

2 years, 5 months of serious practice

[ivory cave]

oh wow

[regal pulsar]

wow

i feel young 😩

[slate swan]

thxs you too

sarthak is an old master

[ivory cave]

ty 👍

[regal pulsar]

doesnt that make me young noob 🐲

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

🖤

[brave forge]

@regal pulsar@slate swan@slate swan thanks

[regal pulsar]

np

[slate swan]

bro you used Either, not Union

[regal pulsar]

nah

[slate swan]

they are different things

[regal pulsar]

from typing import Union as Either

lol

it just looks better

[slate swan]

😑 why

anyways, what's the issue?

your command would need member intents in cause you didnt add it already

[regal pulsar]

not sure how to go about it in general

if you mention someone i want a Member object

if you just pass in a string it should stay a string

[slate swan]

thats what your code must do, that's the problem>

it will always be a string?

[slate swan]

no because the disnake.Member typehint is their first

the converter just parses the string for a snowflake or a snowflake inside of the mention format and it makes it an object

[slate swan]

i mean yeah it would be an object as it would return that since if the converter so union is probably the best if sometimes the member object wont be passed an a word would be passed

[regal pulsar]

hmm

[brave forge]

is it possible to make a temporary command in this way ? for example , mute or assigning a role for a while ??

[regal pulsar]

or what if i dont typehint

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

simply use timeouts

[slate swan]

it will be a string

[regal pulsar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/icawerabag

my old mute command if you want it

[slate swan]

why spoonfeed

[regal pulsar]

yeah

[slate swan]

just give him the coroutine that wraps the endpoint

[regal pulsar]

then i try to get a Member object with .get

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the
given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

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

[regal pulsar]

how exactly does that work

[slate swan]

it works in 3.7 too

[regal pulsar]

ye im on 3.10.4 iirc

[slate swan]

its just bitwise or

given that you need to import annotations from future

[regal pulsar]

oh

[slate swan]

yeah

with annotations it wouldnt matter what py version

ofc it would as yoy need to import the stlib

*3.6+

[brave forge]

@regal pulsar thanks

[regal pulsar]

np

[slate swan]

yes but it can still be used in 3.6+

[brave forge]

this will only work for mute. But not for issuing a role for a while

[slate swan]

its this easy

from __future__ import annotations

add a space or get recked

[regal pulsar]

lol

[slate swan]

slow

i already did

idk sarthak said it does idk the exact version lol

working in 3.7 too

[pliant gulch]

I thought __future__.annotations was added in 3.7, not 3.6

[slate swan]

my bad

[slate swan]

not what i said bozo

[regal pulsar]

now if only i knew what you were talking about 😔

[slate swan]

😿

[pliant gulch]

https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/__future__.html yes it is 3.7, you don't see it in any previous versions

[regal pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-the-misery-eggcat-gif-25127046

https://tenor.com/view/everybody-wants-to-be-my-gif-25137901

[slate swan]

that acts like a Union

[regal pulsar]

i see

[slate swan]

no

it can be used in other things and not ony type hint

what did you said

its literally the same thing

its just bitwise or

[ivory cave]

https://tenor.com/view/my-enemy-cat-oh-the-misery-everybody-wants-to-be-my-enemy-oh-the-misery-everybody-wants-to-be-my-enemy-gif-25312695

[slate swan]

🙀

stawp

[sage otter]

pipes are cool

[regal pulsar]

lol

can someone tell me what this is

[pliant gulch]

The return annotation

[sage otter]

A annotation

[regal pulsar]

the ->

[pliant gulch]

Denoting that that method, returns None

[ivory cave]

no idea , never seen it in python tbh

ik its something from JS but not sure

[regal pulsar]

i see it everywhere

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
def foo() -> str:
return "bar"

def baz() -> None:
...

[unkempt canyon]

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

[No output]

[ivory cave]

wait what 💀

[sage otter]

You see it a lot in well written code

[pliant gulch]

-> str because it returns "bar", which is a str, then -> None because that one returns None

[sage otter]

Good python programmers type/annotate their code

[slate swan]

[ivory cave]

but what does it mean tho? ive never even heard of it and ive been programming for some solid months

[sage otter]

He just said above

[pliant gulch]

It's for type safety

[sage otter]

Type safety?

Oh

[pliant gulch]

Yes, you want to know the types of your variables, etc

[sage otter]

Yea.

[pliant gulch]

It's good to know them, and it stops a lot of problems before they happen

[slate swan]

not only typehints* it can be used in other things aswell

[ivory cave]

is it something sorta like a comment or ?

[pliant gulch]

Yes it's like a comment

[regal pulsar]

print func in python

[ivory cave]

ahhh

[slate swan]

no its just for your interpreter to understand types

its sorta like a comment ig

[pliant gulch]

The interpreter doesn't parse annotations at all

[ivory cave]

doesnt it do that on its own tho

[slate swan]

editor sorry

[regal pulsar]

ah

i see

[pliant gulch]

I guess unless you count like __annotations__

[slate swan]

sometimes you editor doesnt know what i.e and arguments type is gonna be so devs annotate them so the editor knows the types

[regal pulsar]

yeah

thats actually why i started typehinting

[slate swan]

its quite useful without your editor showing its unknown

[regal pulsar]

way cleaner

[slate swan]

and sometimes depending on the types the editor wont highlight the syntax of methods i.e since it doesnt knoe the type

[stone beacon]

A fellow ayu theme user?

[sage otter]

just get good and work without the intellisense. All that matters is runtime.

[regal pulsar]

plus

[stone beacon]

Mi gusta

[glad cradle]

that's not related to JS, in javascript it means something else

[regal pulsar]

i cant live without this

[ivory cave]

yea i know, i was just referring that the only place i had seen -> being used was in js and nowhere else but i guess its a thing in python as well

[stone beacon]

what colour scheme are ya using?

[pliant gulch]

!e ```py
from future import annotations

@type.call
class annotations:
def setitem(self, name: str, value: str) -> None:
print(name, value)

Foo: bar

[stone beacon]

Looks liike ayu mirage

[unkempt canyon]

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

Foo bar

[slate swan]

ok?

[pliant gulch]

Saying or operator is equivalent to typing.Union is miss-leading imo

You should just reference it as a union between the types, operator makes it sound like it does an operation

[slate swan]

@commands.command()
  async def ping(self, ctx):
    message = await embed.add_field(name="`Pinging...`")
    await embed.add_field(name=f"**Latency is** ``{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)}``**ms**")

[stone beacon]

Can't rmr the last time I touched Union after they allowed us to do X | Y in 3.10

[slate swan]

Correct?

[regal pulsar]

lmao

Optional[]?

[slate swan]

i never touched Union😳

[slate swan]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

it can be the type given or none basically

[regal pulsar]

ah

[pliant gulch]

I've always hated the typing module

[slate swan]

dont you use it allot😿

[pliant gulch]

I just want a non-library way to type hint 😔

[regal pulsar]

wait

[slate swan]

yeah i agree

[pliant gulch]

I only use it cause I'm forced to, like before when list wasn't generic

[regal pulsar]

isnt type hinting just

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx: commands.Context):
    pass

[pliant gulch]

Now I'm waiting for the callable typehints to be passed in that pep, () -> None

[regal pulsar]

or do i have it completely wrong

[slate swan]

it would be nice to have Callable i.e built in without importing typing 😔

[stone beacon]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[regal pulsar]

whats Callable 💀

[pliant gulch]

That already exists with typing_extensions

[slate swan]

a function

[pliant gulch]

You only really need self in causes of generics anyways so, most people won't be using them

[slate swan]

its just the type lol

[pliant gulch]

No?

[regal pulsar]

yeah what does it do
