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.

[potent spear]

don't leak your token ofc

[flint isle]

yep i hid the env file lol

[cloud dawn]

I hope .env

[flint isle]

lol it was .env

[flint isle]

heres the bin for wb.py

[potent spear]

you seem lost

[flint isle]

i am lost

[potent spear]

you're just throwing a custom_guilds everywhere to try and make it work

[flint isle]

yeah 😦 i is dumb boi

[potent spear]

try and implement this simple implementation, scrap the "subclassing a bot" thing for now

[flint isle]

should i remove everything i tried throwing it on first?

[potent spear]

correct

[flint isle]

ok ill try that first

[potent spear]

that's right!

[flint isle]

and how can i fix my events cog. ill paste it in here and you can tell me whats not needed

#below are two date time functions that have different functions but one of them adds to the other durring startup

        self.bot = bot
        print('Loading Events cog')


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(events(bot))

[potent spear]

that's all fine

you can access the variable from wherever in that cog now via
self.bot.custom_guild_ids

i still dont know what i broke UwU

[potent spear]

no idea at this point, maybe ask in the disnake discord server, I'm using discord py

[wicked wren]

Hi, I have a very newbish question I'm sure.

This is my first time working with python I have extremely small prior experience with coding and I just want to create a command that translates text to French and I cant seem to manage it I have been trying multiple things but if someone could help me out that would be awesome!

[potent spear]

you should first learn how to use a Translate API outside of discord py

[slate swan]

no?

[potent spear]

yes, this is a project wrapped around a project

[slate swan]

you can just use a dict

[flint isle]

should i try making a copy of this code and just pulling the repo again to see if i just broke something by changing something wrong in my code?

[wicked wren]

I'm using googletrans

[potent spear]

can't say, sorry

[pliant gulch]

That would be a massive dictionary

[slate swan]

yup

[pliant gulch]

Why do hard work when something already exists for that?

[slate swan]

its really not allot of work

[potent spear]

excuse me?

[pliant gulch]

To translate a language to another is a lot of work

[slate swan]

cant you just do it letter by letter?

[potent spear]

translating every single word in a dict, as well as sentences? that's huge

[pliant gulch]

No??

[potent spear]

he's talking about translating languages

[pliant gulch]

Also not all languages use an alphabet

[potent spear]

french to english etc

[slate swan]

they use their own no?

[stone beacon]

oh no translation is a bit more complex than that

[pliant gulch]

No, take for an example mandarin, there is no alphabet. There are only predefined characters

[stone beacon]

Some languages kill the brain, some have like 18 alphabet letters, some have none etc

[pliant gulch]

And it's not as simple as doing A (lang 1) -> A(lang 2)

[stone beacon]

Better to just use google's api

[slate swan]

🤷‍♂️

[pliant gulch]

There are other things at play, such as english vs french. French assigns gender to words, where as english does not

[wicked wren]

I am using googles api

[potent spear]

sure, does that already work for you OUTSIDE of a command?

like with a given input or whatever

[wicked wren]

Nah, Im going to look into it more and comeback if I don't find anything. Thanks for helping me readjust how to look at the problem though

[potent spear]

always make sure to do it outside the bigger project first, then adapt where needed

[flint isle]

the module got corrupted apparently and it works now

[potent spear]

Great

[flint isle]

I’m gonna go to sleep, ☮ⓅⒺⒶⒸⒺ☮

[flint isle]

uhh where do i set the ids to self.bot.custom_guild_ids then lol

[potent spear]

There’s no need for you to do that

It’s already defined…

You can already access it via self.bot.custom_guild_ids

[flint isle]

so just put guild_ids=self.bot.custom_guild_ids in the commands args?

for the slash command as shown above?

[potent spear]

Stop thinking you have to redefine that stupid guild_ids in every file

You did it once, you can use it anywhere without having to redefine it

[flint isle]

ok but i got the error

[potent spear]

Hmm, I’ve never used your library, I can’t tell you how to pass it to the cog

[pallid meadow]

It's the same

disnake is just another dpy fork it handles cogs the same way

[potent spear]

Not the slash commands

[pallid meadow]

Yeah you can't call self in a function header

just looked at that now

[pallid meadow]

that's not the issue here.

[potent spear]

You’ll probably have to load the custom guild ids on top of the file and access it that way

[pallid meadow]

mhm

or just import your config variable

just make sure you load it

before you access it

[potent spear]

Yup, so there was never any need for the botvar after all

[flint isle]

... how would i do that lol

[pallid meadow]

wdym, it's just like importing any other variable

[potent spear]

Loadenv in every file

[flint isle]

hmm how would i load the env if its in the folder about the current folder

[slate swan]

are you using python-dotenv?

[pallid meadow]

No, don't load the env in every file lol

just make a variable that you import into all of your other cog files

you can just make that variable in I assume you have a bot.py file

[slate swan]

or use the botvar

[pallid meadow]

from bot import config

no because you can't access self

in a function header

[flint isle]

please give an example to help my brain that is bouncing like the dvd logo

[slate swan]

why would you need to access the env variables in a function header?

[pallid meadow]

this is there code...

that's why

makes perfect sense

[slate swan]

why not just set the global test_guilds variable instead

[pallid meadow]

no don't do that

globals should be avoided as much as possible and this is a case that they can be avoided in.

[pallid meadow]

alright so you have a bot.py file yes?

[flint isle]

its called wb.py

[pallid meadow]

that's where you are loading extensionsand initializing your bot

[slate swan]

doesn't matter what it's called

[pallid meadow]

ok

[flint isle]

yes

[pallid meadow]

yes ik

but most people call it a bot.py file

so that's why I was asking...

alright so in that file you should load your config and set it as a variable in that wb.py file

make sense so far?

the variable can just be called config

doesn't really matter whatever you want it to be

[flint isle]

hmm so config = os.getenv('GUILDS')?

[pallid meadow]

I have no idea what your env file looks like

so however you were loading it before just do that

just don't set it as a bot variable

well you can still set it as both because I am assuming you access the config outside of function decorators as well.

[flint isle]

TOKEN = "Nope UwU"
GUILDS = 798726719573065749```

[pallid meadow]

yeah

[flint isle]

wait should the guilds be [the number]

[pallid meadow]

so just do what you were doing before?

[flint isle]

ok

so the code example i gave?

[pallid meadow]

what about it?

[flint isle]

well is that what you meant to do lol

[pallid meadow]

meant by what?

Yes, but don't do it bc it's against TOS

and we won't help/show you how.

[flint isle]

this

[pallid meadow]

Yeah but this is your env file

that should be in your python code

[flint isle]

!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.

[pallid meadow]

you are making a variable called config in python

[flint isle]

thats why

[pallid meadow]

and then are setting it to your environment var

[flint isle]

ah ok

because using it for bots is allowed but user accounts not allowed

because bots are meant to use the api but the user accounds use what discord says they should use

[pallid meadow]

bc account automation is a thing.

any sort of account automation that's not authorized through discord's own public api through a bot user is not allowed.

[flint isle]

yeah since they arent marked as bots

well you can do it but we cant help you. and it is all at your own risk of getting your account terminated

[flint isle]

ok so now i have

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands
import datetime
import os
# import requests
from dotenv import load_dotenv
# import aiohttp
# import aiofiles

# import logging

# logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)


import cogs.whiskey

from colorama import Fore
load_dotenv()
config = os.getenv('GUILDS')
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$")

now how am i passing it to cogs? @pallid meadow

[pallid meadow]

You just import config in your cogs

From .wb import config

Or whatever your import would be

[flint isle]

Ok I will put that in when im back on my system in a bit. I'll let you know if there is issues

[potent spear]

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
custom_guild_ids = os.getenv('GUILDS')```

[potent spear]

put this in your main file

[flint isle]

thats in my main file

[potent spear]

and then import that variable in your cog file
from <main file> import custom_guild_ids

[flint isle]

hmm? should i make a config cog?

[potent spear]

hell no

[flint isle]

lol i saw the correction right after the message i sent

[potent spear]

just import that variable from your main file to your cog file, then it's also accessible there

normally, you'd just use a botvar for this (so you don't have to import it all the time), but since you can't use self.bot in your slash command decorator, you'll have to import this

I hope you finally understand after doing this for the past 5 hours

[flint isle]

yeah now i do XD

tho how would i import since im trying to import inside events.py

[potent spear]

that's what relative imports are, you should google that

python relative import

[pallid meadow]

They already have that…

Please make sure you actually read all their code before giving help

[potent spear]

he called his guilds variable in the .env a config..

[flint isle]

and i have became confuzzled. how am i going to import from the dir above lol

[potent spear]

you'll have to do as said

[flint isle]

cause i tried .wb and ..wb and they didnt work

[potent spear]

you should first understand what this does before implementing it

[flint isle]

and when i tried ..wb i got

disnake.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.events' raised an error: ImportError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package```

[potent spear]

you can also google errors yk 😉

[flint isle]

yeah but when i googled it i was still confused

[potent spear]

what did you google?

[flint isle]

import error attempted relative import beyond top-level package

and i found:

[potent spear]

great!

[flint isle]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35166821/valueerror-attempted-relative-import-beyond-top-level-package

nd this is what i have currently from ..wb import config

[potent spear]

10 secs

try
from wb import config

[flint isle]

!paste

[cloud dawn]

well you are trying to import a top level package from your dir.

So you are in your main and doing from ..?? import ??

[flint isle]

i got this error https://paste.pythondiscord.com/akuhecebol

[cloud dawn]

You can't import relatively above the current dir

[potent spear]

he's in a subfolder cog
and needs to import the main bot file

[flint isle]

@cloud dawn

[potent spear]

you should start reading the errors

there are simple fixes

[cloud dawn]

Yeah so? Then it's still in the main.

[potent spear]

ah, you were referring to "which file to import"

[cloud dawn]

It's just from then no .. needed

You always imoport "relatively" to main

[potent spear]

@....slash_command(..., guild_ids = config)
now you can finally get some well deserved sleep

[flint isle]

omg i feel so dumb about that lmao. but now i have to fix the env part of guilds

so would they be GUILDS = [number]?

[potent spear]

GUILDS = [1515165615, 485185485185, 4151558]

that's a basic example

[flint isle]

i have GUILDS = [798726719573065749] whats wrong in it

[potent spear]

nothing

[flint isle]

because it throws the errror
disnake.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.events' raised an error: ValueError: guild_ids must be a sequence of int.

[potent spear]

can you print type(config)?

[flint isle]

class str

does env pass strings

[potent spear]

maybe that's the issue

[flint isle]

can i do int(os.getenv('GUILDS'))

[potent spear]

no pls

[uncut barn]

hi , umm i am new to programing i can someone tell me where i can make discord bots?

[potent spear]

#discord-bots message

[uncut barn]

omg thx

[potent spear]

alright, I found a possible solution for you
https://stackoverflow.com/a/53599459

so your env will look like
GUILDS = 55151,515151,515151
then your
GUILDS_STRING = getenv shit
config = [int(guild_id) for guild_id in GUILDS_STRING.split(",")]

[flint isle]

omg

that worked thanks ^w^

[potent spear]

gl, hf!

[flint isle]

thanks ^w^

[flint isle]

wait why were you saying not to use anything in on_ready

cause i have an embed that needs to send on bot settup

[potent spear]

because that event can get called multiple times, it doesn't really only get called "on_ready"

[flint isle]

oh is there a reccomendation for it to just run when the bot starts?

[potent spear]

sure
https://gist.github.com/cyrus01337/5595cde67d4925f3f92bfa9dbfc0d754

do that in your main file ^

[flint isle]

the top 5? for the main?

cause i was kinda wanting to put it in a cog so it dosent clog my main file

[potent spear]

you can just keep the print in on_ready, remove the rest

[potent spear]

yup, top 5

[flint isle]

ok

[potent spear]

where do_stuff_here() is replaced by all the shit you wanted in the on_ready

[flint isle]

umm can i move the start script to my cog?

[potent spear]

nope

your cog is Events my guy, you don't want to put a startup task there

[flint isle]

ok. i was using that cog for just that and a uptime command

[potent spear]

just only keep the print in that on_ready in the cog

then it wasn't for nothing

[flint isle]

ok

[slate swan]

should use map

[potent spear]

I use a .json for my config, so idk what to suggest there tbh

[flint isle]

um... its not running any of it now

[potent spear]

show me the code in your main ofc

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
print(*map(int, ["1", "2", "3"]))

[unkempt canyon]

oh add .py to the end

[potent spear]

nope, still the same ofc

just make a new one

[flint isle]

ugg 1 sec lol

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/dojasujabu

there we go

now it works

[potent spear]

you never added line 5

[flint isle]

line 5? the commented line?

[potent spear]

bruh

[flint isle]

i have that out lmao since i didnt need it

[potent spear]

not in your code, in this code ofc

time to get some sleep for you bud

i did lol

instead of the sucky datetime.datetime.now()

yep apparently i had an old typo that didnt trip earlier for some reason

thanks lol

ima go to sleep now

[potent spear]

peace

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how to fix it

[true quartz]

i am programming a bot in discord and i want to know how i can make it so that when someone does a specific command, it chooses a random image from a set selection of images

how can i do that?

(i am new to python btw)

[jolly flume]

random.choice()

[supple thorn]

You can use the random module and have a list of image links and randomly choose from that list and send the chosen image link

[supple thorn]

He won't know what to do with that unless you explain it

[true quartz]

so what would that code looks like

would i just link the image files and make a array or images?

does python even have arrays?

idk javascript is all i know rn

[supple thorn]

It doesn't

[jolly flume]

is this duck , the dude that helped me with the selenium problem ????

[true quartz]

aight

[supple thorn]

I don't know selenium

[jolly flume]

dang it

[slate swan]

duck lmao

[supple thorn]

Numpy has arrays

[jolly flume]

i wanted to hire him for something

[true quartz]

idk what numphy is lmfao

[supple thorn]

!pypi numpy

[unkempt canyon]

numpy v1.22.4

NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python.

[slate swan]

btw hi skev

[supple thorn]

Hello

[true quartz]

ok cool

thanks

[supple thorn]

Link the image files?

What i do is that i send the images first here in discord and copy the discord image link

Then just send those links

To not have images in my system

Wdym it can't choose anymore

I mean

You could do this but it feels like a hacky ass way

!e ```py
import random
ree = [1,2,3]

print(ree.pop((ree.index(random.choice(ree)))))
print(ree)

[unkempt canyon]

@supple thorn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 2
002 | [1, 3]

[supple thorn]

It gets the randomly chosen item in the list and also removes it from the list

So that it can't chose that item anymore

[true quartz]

this is my code

so where would i set that up?

[supple thorn]

Use commands.Bot

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with
this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality
to manage commands...

[true quartz]

im confused

[supple thorn]

As it says it's a subclass of discord.Client so it can do anything discord.Client does and more

[true quartz]

sorry, im not very well versed in python

[true quartz]

so how would i implement it?

any specific spot?

[supple thorn]

Help

Please explain to travis

I'm eating i can't

[true quartz]

sorry

[supple thorn]

Rather than using names use the id of the role

Then just get the role using that id

[sage otter]

Literally just tell him to replace it

Nothing more and nothing less.

[true quartz]

sorry i just dont know what to do

im new to python

[supple thorn]

team1 = ctx.guild.get_role(teams.pop(teams.index(random.choice(teams))))

[obtuse heron]

!b

[supple thorn]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

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

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

[supple thorn]

There's going to be more than that bruv

[sage otter]

at the top of your file, import the commands extension
from discord.ext import commands
where you define client replace it with
bot = commands.Bot()
There’s a significant difference between these two, one may be a subclass. However, that subclass in your case will be what handles your commands and what makes you make them easier.

[obtuse heron]

!e ```
while 1000:
print("o")

@true quartz

[supple thorn]

I'd have to explain to him to use commands rather than manually doing every prefix commands like some caveman

[true quartz]

thanks

[supple thorn]

#bot-commands

[sage otter]

there’s actually a guide somewhere on how to use the commands framework.

Idk where it is but you could probably find it on the repos examples folder

[true quartz]

what is the commands extension lmfao

idek

[sage otter]

As the name ext hints

It’s an extension of the actual library

[supple thorn]

https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/

[true quartz]

does this tutorial cover what im tryna do?

[supple thorn]

Man i hate vcokltfre's name

It's so hard

[supple thorn]

Probably not but it's a good discord bot tutorial

[true quartz]

then ill use it in the future

[sage otter]

Covers disnake.

[supple thorn]

Also what you're trying to do is easy

[sage otter]

And nextcord only.

[supple thorn]

Disnake good

[true quartz]

but i just want help with what im trying to do in simplest terms

i have no clue what im doing

[sage otter]

I’m pretty sure he’s using dpy.

[upbeat vigil]

is discord_slash not a module?

[supple thorn]

Why would you use that

[upbeat vigil]

idk, i was taking code off a github repo

[sage otter]

The commands framework between all 3 libraries carry significant changes and different implementations between the three

So I don’t think giving him that guide is wise.

Unless, he wants to swap to disnake. Which is more hassle than he probably wants to have.

[sage otter]

Do what the error says.

[slate swan]

Back

[sage otter]

Pass in a prefix to invoke your bots commands with.

[true quartz]

?

i have no clue what that means

[slate swan]

I'm doing my homework 💀

[true quartz]

its fine

[slate swan]

maths homework

it's ez but ye 35 questions

[true quartz]

@sage otter can you explain how to do it in the simpliest of terms please lmfao i dont know anything about python

[slate swan]

add command_prefix="!"
Inside commands.bot()

[true quartz]

inside the ()?

[slate swan]

Ye

[jolly flume]

damn the syntax told you what to do

[sage otter]

Then for now is discourage you from trying discord bots. A significant amount of knowledge is recommended before attempting discord.py

Discord.py isn’t a beginner library.

[true quartz]

well i dont understand it

sorry

[jolly flume]

it seems most people are now using replit

[slate swan]

I learned python from it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[sage otter]

cool.

[jolly flume]

that's not something to be sorry about, i am still a learner

[true quartz]

alright

[slate swan]

@true quartz did u add what I just said

[true quartz]

idk where to add it

[slate swan]

Brooo

[true quartz]

sorry

[slate swan]

inside commands.bot()

inside ()

[true quartz]

inside the ()?

[slate swan]

ye

[true quartz]

ok

[slate swan]

Tf

[true quartz]

idk

[slate swan]

Remove that add bro wtf

[true quartz]

oh

i thought that was part of the code

sorry

[slate swan]

It wasn't

[sage otter]

Don’t apologize either. Just because you don’t know something. We all start somewhere. Like I said, you should try learning the language or versing yourself in it a little more before attempting. Familiarize yourself with the terms so you're not always confused.

[sage otter]

You're doing this to yourself.

[fossil monolith]

bot

[sage otter]

You should of stopped when he said "I don’t know anything about python"

[true quartz]

well i dont really know where to start with learning it

[slate swan]

Change all @ name to bot instead of client

[sage otter]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[slate swan]

Don't use client as ur bot instance ⚠️

[fossil monolith]

yeah, you defined your commands.Bot(...) object as bot, dunno where you got client from

[supple thorn]

Corey Schafer has a good beginner playlist

Check it out

[fossil monolith]

it's also suggested that you don't use the on_message event to handle commands. Use the built-in decorators like @bot.command to do that.

[sage otter]

I don’t know anything about python

[slate swan]

Sad

[fossil monolith]

oh

[sage otter]

You should of known why as soon as he said that.

[fossil monolith]

that makes sense

[sage otter]

You should just stop now. Trying to help an absolute beginner who probably just learned Hello World with an advanced topic like dpy will do more harm than good

[true quartz]

i know more than that

[slate swan]

Now I'll create a maths dc bot to make maths easier for discord users

[supple thorn]

@true quartz big B

It's commands.Bot

[true quartz]

ok

thanks

[supple thorn]

That's a lowercase b

[true quartz]

ok it worked

so now what

what do i do to make the command?

[slate swan]

Damn few days ago I got same and I didn't even realize that it's bot and I stop cuz everything was fine 😂

[fossil monolith]

^ @true quartz

[true quartz]

thanks

[sage otter]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py

[fossil monolith]

take a look at the documentation/repository for examples

[sage otter]

Please and thank you.

[fossil monolith]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

[ionic garden]

should i have support for both prefixed commands & slash commands?

i remember reading somewhere that discord wanted ppl to just migrate to slash commands

[fossil monolith]

is your bot in 100 guilds

[sage otter]

Just because they encourage you doesn’t mean you should.

[ionic garden]

no

it's just a lil thing for myself

[fossil monolith]

if it's <75 then you can still use normal commands

otherwise you should migrate to slash commands

[sage otter]

i mean if you get the message intent you don’t have to

[ionic garden]

ok i can use normal commands
but should i have support for both

[fossil monolith]

that's you to you

[ionic garden]

k cool

[fossil monolith]

you can use the hybrid command deco to support both at the same time

[true quartz]

honestly i think im just gonna quit

for now at least

[fossil monolith]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=hybrid#discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command

[ionic garden]

oh ppl still use the normal discord.py here? thought that library was dead or something

[fossil monolith]

discord.py is back to active development

danny came back

[ionic garden]

oh wow

here i am learning pycord like an absolute moron

what made him come back?

[fossil monolith]

you can read about it here

https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c4324f17a80c94776832430007ad40e6

[fossil monolith]

yeah I wouldn't suggest using py-cord

[ionic garden]

big f

[fossil monolith]

tried testing it with a prod bot and it was just filled with internal errors lmao

although it was a valiant effort from the lib developers

[ionic garden]

fff

so uh

how do you use slash commands? don't really see anything in the docs

[inner epoch]

Am using on_member_remove how to know if the user left on his own or was kicked?

[slate swan]

[stone beacon]

Just pass the file name to discord.File

[keen lynx]

is anyone running here premium membership model for any bot? need some idea how to make one 🧐 thinking for using strpie

[sick birch]

Stripe would probably be the best

Obviously a database with premium users

And a check for premium only commands

Hardest part would be stripe integration

[pliant gulch]

I think patron has an API that’ll make it pretty easy to process premium purchasing as well

async def setup(bot):

[potent spear]

why would your cogs_manager need a bot arg? no need for that

[desert heart]

Are you sure your cog is being loaded?

Does your whole listdir thing actually find the cog files?

[potent spear]

also

Sync application commands & show logging informations

self.loop.create_task(self.startup())
why don't you just await self.startup()?

lastly
print(await self.cogs_manager(self, "load", cogs))
printing this makes no sense, since it doesn't return anything

there are other small optimizations, but these just are the most obvious ones

also, you probably noticed that the on_ready prints no guilds nor users (or the incorrect length) since the cache isn't loaded there yet => you don't want to do anything in on_ready except maybe a print

[zenith basin]

!changed

[potent spear]

and finally, to top things off:
cogs = [f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}" for filename in listdir("./Cogs") if filename.endswith(".py")]
verify that this isn't just an empty list, which could be why your cogs aren't loaded

[zenith basin]

it is not empty

returns ['Cogs.H']

    def __init__(self):

[slate swan]

how can i send help for a particular cog
cog name: utilitycmds
user used: ,help cog utilitycmds
sends help for that particular cog
default help command

I am getting:

send() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ephemeral'

For:

await channel.send(embed = choose_catagory_embed, ephemeral = True, view = view)

[placid verge]

You can only send ephemeral messages on interaction respond

[slate swan]

thats wrong, you need to do ```py
reaction = await (await ctx.chanel.fetch_message(message.id)).reactions

[slate swan]

and how can i mention em?

all users in the list?

same code i sent earlier

you reaction variable was wrong that's it

anyone know how i can make sure my bot auto restarts upon any crashes?

[slate swan]

reply to it

[slate swan]

channel*

[ionic garden]

not sure if i should ask this here
but why did rapptz quit discord.py at first
i get the part about staff being nonreceptive to feedback & stuff
but i don't really get the part about "gateway intents" or "privileged intents"
if anyone could explain that to me, i'd be really grateful

[glossy ruin]

do i need to give commands a file

like ban mute kick all in separate file

[slate swan]

You mean the blue text?

If yes:

[link text here](url here)

I don’t think the work in footer

[slate swan]

its not necessary

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Embed.url is also there in case u wanna make the title, clickable

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.url

The URL of the embed.
This can be set during initialisation.

[maiden fable]

In the error handler

[robust fulcrum]

Guys my bot was working fine before 5 minutes but when i am using comamnds now its not working even it's online and there's no error
If possible pls help me
I'll dm you file if need

[vocal snow]

!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.

[vocal snow]

send your code ^

[slate swan]

anyone got smth for how i can make my bot delete its own messages? (a cleanup command that deletes the bot's past 15 messages or so in the current channel)

[paper sluice]

get the channel history using discord.Channel.history then u can check the message author

and delete if author is the bot

[upbeat vigil]

hey, how would i make a command inside of another command? for example inside of a ! lyrics command i could have song lyrics loaded

[slate swan]

ah k will give it a shot ty

[supple thorn]

Well

You could invoke another command inside that command

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoke

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

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a
[`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") holds internally...

[supple thorn]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_command

get_command(name, /)```
Get a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") from the internal list
of commands.

This could also be used as a way to get aliases.

The name could be fully qualified (e.g. `'foo bar'`) will get
the subcommand `bar` of the group command `foo`. If a
subcommand is not found then `None` is returned just as usual...

[supple thorn]

To get the command

Or it'll invoke the same command

[paper sluice]

👀

[light violet]

hey i enabled in my bot to join guilds for me btw i authorized it btw i am not joined to any of the servers, how to configure the bot to make me join server my authorizeing it

[slate swan]

I don’t understand what you mean

You want your bot to invite you in the server it joins?

[robust fulcrum]

Guys when i say %help my bot send the following result in image /
How can I remove it and make a new help command

[tacit adder]

there is already a default command named help, but u can remove it

[gaunt ice]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='',help_command = None)

[robust fulcrum]

Ok how can I make my own?

[gaunt ice]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

Like other comannds?

[gaunt ice]

after u remove it

[tacit adder]

now u can

[gaunt ice]

u can create a command called help without the error

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm like other comannds?

[gaunt ice]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

Ty

[tacit adder]

u dont have to change the command now

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

I'll make my own first

Then I'll remove

+ akai123 hacked ⏣ 696,696,696 out of the bank.

I want to get integers after ⏣ and ignore all ints before it, any idea?

[stone beacon]

Use regex

[supple thorn]

Well you could just do this but i think it's bad

[stray carbon]

int(re.search(r'\d+', m).group())
i was using this but it gets all

[supple thorn]

!e ```py
duck = "+ akai123 hacked ⏣ 696,696,696 out of the bank."

print(duck.split("⏣"))

[unkempt canyon]

@supple thorn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

['+ akai123 hacked ', ' 696,696,696 out of the bank.']

[stray carbon]

ooo

[supple thorn]

And just get the first index

And use regex on it

[stray carbon]

yup ty ty

saved my day

[supple thorn]

So the usernames with digits doesn't fuck you

[quaint epoch]

[supple thorn]

There's probably a better way to do it but all i could think of that's good

but not sure if i can help

[warped mirage]

alright

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hesoyevoyu

[loud junco]

because u are not linking the uptimebot to ur bot?

[loud junco]

where is the error

[warped mirage]

It claims to be in the on_message event

So check there .

async with client.db.execute("SELECT levelsys FROM levelSettings WHERE guild = ?"

[warped mirage]

?

[loud junco]

this is the error i think

[warped mirage]

Yes

I could try await

Idk .

[loud junco]

maybe ask the other

i have no idea how to fix it

cuz i hardly use sql

[slate swan]

the schema is set to have different data types but the data you input has different types

[warped mirage]

what shall i do then to fix it?

[slate swan]

could you show your database schema and the code where you input data?

[warped mirage]

async def setup_db():
    client.db = await aiosqlite.connect("level.db")
    await client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS levels (level INTEGER, xp INTEGER, user INTEGER, guild INTEGER)")
    await client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS levelSettings (levelsys BOOL, role INTEGER, levelreq INTEGER, guild INTEGER)")
    await client.db.commit()``` this?

[slate swan]

hm, and the part where you input data?

[warped mirage]

idk u have to check my code

[slate swan]

thats what im asking for...

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hesoyevoyu

[paper sluice]

i think the second arg in execute is supposed to be an iterable

[slate swan]

show line 37 of your code

oh wait

[tropic burrow]

@loud junco

[warped mirage]

                                (guild.id)) as cursor:```

[paper sluice]

async with client.db.execute("SELECT levelsys FROM levelSettings WHERE guild = ?",
                                (guild.id))

try (guild.id, )

[slate swan]

^

[warped mirage]

kk

[slate swan]

client.db.execute() as cursor uwu

[paper sluice]

parens dont make tuple 😔

[warped mirage]

none of my commands respond now

tf???

[slate swan]

error in the event

[warped mirage]

theres no errors

[loud junco]

u copied the wrong address

[slate swan]

on_message is an event-

[warped mirage]

i meant ....

[tropic burrow]

oh yea

[loud junco]

not the website id

[slate swan]

I see

[loud junco]

it should ends with repl.co

[visual island]

The url you link to uptimerobot should be the flask app url, not your replit project url (you can see the app's url on the upper right panel of the replit page).

[warped mirage]

it might be to do with indents @slate swan

[slate swan]

smh

[warped mirage]

idk these are the 2 new commands i implemented as a group

[loud junco]

he knows it already 👍

[light violet]

@tropic burrow https://replit.com/@MonkeyProgram/discordbot1py?v=1#main.py this is ur repl isnt it lol

[tropic burrow]

og bruh\

[light violet]

👀

[warped mirage]

can someone see an error in my code?

[light violet]

ss

[warped mirage]

this part first

[light violet]

console ss

of error

[light violet]

remove return

[warped mirage]

no errors , no commands respond

[warped mirage]

if i do it affects my code , so i cant

without the new stuff i added theres no issues , so i know for sure its the new code

@slate swan any ideas?

[slate swan]

just pass instead of return

[maiden fable]

What's the issue

[warped mirage]

no commands respond and no errors

shall i send code ?

[maiden fable]

sure

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hesoyevoyu

[slate swan]

like none of 'em?

[maiden fable]

which command no work? @warped mirage

[warped mirage]

yeah probs someone is blocking the code without me knowing idk

[maiden fable]

slvl?

[warped mirage]

i coded a group , slvl's and in the setupdb and in message event and level command i added some extra stuff so check over there , 0 commands respond

[stone beacon]

Ouch sql statements

[maiden fable]

what the

turn on logging

[warped mirage]

lol

[stone beacon]

That's alot of sql executions for an on_message

[warped mirage]

async def setup_db():
    client.db = await aiosqlite.connect("level.db")
    await client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS levels (level INTEGER, xp INTEGER, user INTEGER, guild INTEGER)")
    await client.db.execute(
        "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS levelSettings (levelsys BOOL, role INTEGER, levelreq INTEGER, guild INTEGER)")
    await client.db.commit()``` any errors here?

[stone beacon]

Won't it be better to have one context manager handle all that instead of creating 3

[maiden fable]

yea

[maiden fable]

doesnt seem like it

[warped mirage]

ok one sec

how about here?

[maiden fable]

what the heck is that if statement

[warped mirage]

this is in the level command

[brazen raft]

Checks whether it is not empty and its first item is turthy

[warped mirage]

and last but not least

bruh tf is this

@maiden fable so any ideas for my code?

[maiden fable]

No, tbh

[warped mirage]

That’s all that I added and it breaks my code

Idk ….

[maiden fable]

Weird

[warped mirage]

Wait @maiden fable I might have an idea , can u check my if statements and ye maybe indents or smth

If not then alright I guess

[maiden fable]

Can u share the code link again

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hesoyevoyu

[maiden fable]

@slate swan with?

Lemme check the indent and statements @warped mirage

[warped mirage]

@slate swan idk if it’s a rule here but generally there shouldn’t be helping with stuff against minecraft stuff or smth idk

Cuz auto bots for a game is technically a cheat

[maiden fable]

@warped mirage also don't have so many context managers

[warped mirage]

I’ll fix it after but until then can u check my stuff

[maiden fable]

Use a single one.
Sometimes these can cause uncaught errors

Can u show the error

Not u

only this?

Wait, can u try doing def handle(ctx, *args):

[slate swan]

they are fine until and unless it is distributed illegally, in essence, set out for production without the authorization of the company, Mojang
this comes straight from their TOS though

[maiden fable]

Try opening a help channel, never used the module sooo

[slate swan]

me who was surprised that you're helping with something that has javascript inside python

[maiden fable]

Well I am using JS for making a project's frontend and since I am looking for ways to use the least amount of JS and use the JS API in Python, sooooo

[warped mirage]

So any ideas for my code

[slate swan]

my trust issues are more severe now

[maiden fable]

Lmao why
I never really hated JS, but I just prefer using Python wherever I can

[stone beacon]

Nothing like opene a js file and seeing that

()(function()((()(()()(())))

That just makes you wanna alt f4

[maiden fable]

Agreed

reasons I hate JS sometimes

And ofc, the CORS policy sucks
istg I spent days trying to fix that error due to which I wasn't even able to send requests to the backend API on another port 🤣

[vocal plover]

doesnt everyone love minified js

[slate swan]

its fun

[maiden fable]

vc, get out before everyone here loses their mind

[slate swan]

you*

[maiden fable]

Uh yea

Got a ping from #esoteric-python once, and well

[vocal plover]

CORS is good*

*When you have a deep understanding of CORS

[maiden fable]

the * doesn't go for me

I still remember messing with React's config file and bothering ppl in the React discord for days

[formal basin]

Anyone know how to make a tiktok notification bot using json

[maiden fable]

Is there a tiktok api?

I’m not using yt dl

[formal basin]

Yeah I don’t think I’m breaking any TOS there

[stone beacon]

Ytdl is just one

[formal basin]

Wdym

[warped mirage]

Wait WTF

Ytdl is against Tos ?

[formal basin]

Yes

You can’t use it

[warped mirage]

I use it in my js bot with Distube I think

[formal basin]

Which I’m not using

[warped mirage]

What do u use

[stone beacon]

It's just one package 😂

[formal basin]

What do you use it for?

[warped mirage]

Music

[stone beacon]

The most popular , but any thing that mimics its functionality in any way does break tos

[warped mirage]

I use ytdl and distube for music I think

So ur saying YouTube will sue me for this and I’m getting arrested?

[formal basin]

Anything wrong with this I’m not using yt dl

[formal basin]

@stone beacon

[warped mirage]

can someone tel me with I will get arrested

[stone beacon]

lmao no

[warped mirage]

What then

[stone beacon]

🤣

[warped mirage]

Tell me what gon happen then

[stone beacon]

naw not imo

[formal basin]

😮‍💨 phew

[stone beacon]

But I'm no expert

[formal basin]

It’s private bot

[warped mirage]

And ytdl is a package , so the person who made it must get sued

Not me …

[stone beacon]

No need to get paranoid m8

[warped mirage]

Bro so what happens then … I’m asking for an answer

00008B dark blue hex code

[stone beacon]

Nothing is gonna happen to you 💀

If push comes to shove you'll have to stop using the package

[warped mirage]

Then why do people make it sound like it’s terrifying

[stone beacon]

hence so many streaming bots died

[warped mirage]

Oh ok

[formal basin]

Good thing I don’t use it

[stone beacon]

The notion is just that we cannot help anyone here with that cuz then big bad google will try to screw up the server

Breaking the law is infact illegal

[slate swan]

!d discord.ButtonStyle.blurple or do you need the hex?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ButtonStyle.blurple

An alias for primary.

[warped mirage]

Well I’m just using my bot for music

So nothing too bad xD

[slate swan]

ah wait

[stone beacon]

wack

Ik I saw blurple somewhere

[warped mirage]

If it’s illegal then how the f do u make music bots

Makes no sense , everything is illegal

[slate swan]

classmethod blurple()[source]

A factory method that returns a Colour with a value of 0x5865F2.

its 0x5865F2 @slate swan

[stone beacon]

!d nextcord.Colour.blurple

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Colour.blurple

classmethod blurple()```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Colour "nextcord.Colour") with a value of `0x5865F2`.

[formal basin]

anyone know how to make a tiktok notification bot? No api and using json

[slate swan]

😔 they use Colour lmao. tho Color is just an alias for the same

[stone beacon]

Insanity

[warped mirage]

!d nextcord.Colour.blurple

[unkempt canyon]

[maiden fable]

If u r using the official YT API, then u r not doing anything wrong

[formal basin]

Here is the code I did for the YouTube notification bot I want it to be a tiktok one

[slate swan]

!d disnake.Colour.green is same as that color iirc

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Colour.green

classmethod green()```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Colour "disnake.Colour") with a value of `0x2ecc71`.

[formal basin]

I’m not using any api

[stone beacon]

Oh yh this

[warped mirage]

How do I get the official one

[stone beacon]

google it and you're 99% sure to find it on the front page

[maiden fable]

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3

[warped mirage]

What if I’m using a package

I can’t change the api.

[stone beacon]

Wut

[warped mirage]

Lemme say all my packages related to music that I have

[stone beacon]

You do know that alot of these packages wrap the api's e.g discord.py wraps the discord api

[warped mirage]

ytdl-core , ffmpeg static, distube , @distube/spotify THESE ARE ALL THE PACKAGES I HAVE . JS

[stone beacon]

Alright this a bit ot

[warped mirage]

?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/hesoyevoyu can someone help me , no commands respond or no errors

Damn sad times

No more music bots

[formal basin]

Good thing I don’t use YouTube dl

[manic path]

This is inside on_command_error:

debug_message = f"{ctx.command} invoked by {ctx.message.author} with error. \n {e.__class.__name__}: {e}"

and I am getting this error:

    debug_message = f"{ctx.command} invoked by {ctx.message.author} with error. \n {e.__class.__name__}: {e}"
AttributeError: 'CommandNotFound' object has no attribute '_ErrorHandler__class'

Why is that?
I even handle CommandNotFound inside on_command_error

        elif isinstance(e, errors.CommandNotFound):
            print("Reached notfound")
            logger.debug(debug_message)
            await self.send_command_suggestion(ctx)

got it

[warped mirage]

I use ytdl core is that fine?

[formal basin]

Idk

[warped mirage]

ytdl-core , ffmpeg static, distube , @distube/spotify THESE ARE ALL THE PACKAGES I HAVE . JS

Are these fine ?

Tbf the distube is fine cuz it’s spotifies page

[vocal plover]

spotify doesnt allow unauthorized streaming either

[warped mirage]

Tf

Then how does it work ……,..

[vocal plover]

what?

How would spotify not allowing unauthorized streaming affect itself

[warped mirage]

How can we make a music bot if everything is illegal

[vocal plover]

Either license the music you play correctly or dont make a music bot

[warped mirage]

Wdym by license it

[vocal plover]

pay to be able to stream the music to an audience

[warped mirage]

Do u know how much they charge ?

[vocal plover]

No idea, but it's not cheap

[warped mirage]

Well idk cuz it’s a package

So I wouldn’t know if it’s legal or not

[vocal plover]

If you're streaming popular music and you didnt pay for licensing it is illegal

period

[warped mirage]

ok , what I’m in streaming music that isn’t popular

[vocal plover]

Ok let me rephrase

Any music on spotify, youtube, amazon music, etc. is - with a 99.999% certainty - copyrighted and cannot be streamed legally without paying for licensing it

[warped mirage]

Wait general things like suggest commands , ban commands and all that sort are legal right ? Since they are for discord purpose only .

[vocal plover]

yeah why wouldnt they be

[warped mirage]

Idk so it’s only when ur using a different app for discord , that’s when it becomes illegal if not paid

Correct ?

[robust fulcrum]

@warped mirage did ctx.edit

Now it says discord.ext have no attribute edit

@slate swan can you help me pls

I used ctx.edit
It says discord.ext have no attribute edit

[slate swan]

error says pretty much all

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm

[slate swan]

where is message defined?

[robust fulcrum]

I did import
from discord import edit

it's ctx.

[slate swan]

...

discord has no attribute edit

[robust fulcrum]

Or i need to add variable

[slate swan]

a GuildChannel, Message, etc. have edit methods

[robust fulcrum]

ok

[slate swan]

not discord

[robust fulcrum]

message = ctx.send(anything)

This?

[slate swan]

yes

[rare saddle]

Please tell me what should I do? I'm not a lawyer, and I'm sure I can't spell it correctly.

[slate swan]

state the TOS for your application

[rare saddle]

I figured it out, but how do I do it right?

So that there are no problems in the future

[slate swan]

iirc, its asking you to input a url to a website, right?

[rare saddle]

yea

[slate swan]

best you could do is, either create a repo on github and add your bot's TOS to the README.md or create a static website (html and css)

[rare saddle]

I'm wondering how to write the conditions themselves, the big text itself

How to do it right

[slate swan]

dont have to write like a huge pallet of text lol, you could state anything necessary

[rare saddle]

Got it, I just find a lot of these files

[slate swan]

thats a license

its of how you can use the code of the app

not your app's TOS

[warped mirage]

why add a tos to ur own bot

woudnt make too much sense tbf

[slate swan]

.........its necessary for every application under production

it states out the rules about how you can use the app and how you cannot

[warped mirage]

so wtf am i meant to put

[slate swan]

TOS for the app

[warped mirage]

and how do i do that

[slate swan]

add the website url to your TOS

ofc after creating the TOS

[warped mirage]

can u gimme a example of tos

even tho im making my own bot which wont be illegal ....

@slate swan

[slate swan]

something like these rules for the usage of an app

[warped mirage]

can u explain more...

like using the commands ? like what damn tos lol , for who????

[regal pulsar]

hello

[regal pulsar]

tos and licences are different things

tos is terms of service

[slate swan]

they are rules for an app for the consumer to the product

for example, take a library, it has a rule that all the visitors are to be silent, visitors here are consumers and the library is the app, and the library's TOS is that everybody be quiet in the hall

hopefully you understand

[warped mirage]

so how does it work for my bot lmao , its not like im gonna make bad commands

bruh no sense.......

[slate swan]

how do I know about your bot....

[warped mirage]

commandlist ?

[slate swan]

you're only forced to add a TOS to your bot if your bot is gonna be undergoing verification

[warped mirage]

ok so if i add a tos what am i gonna have to add

[slate swan]

the usage rules for your app

for the consumers

[warped mirage]

Bruh what rules??

for the commands ?

[slate swan]

yes.

[warped mirage]

how tf do i make rules for commands , gimme a example

as i said before i aint gonna add illegal commands....

[slate swan]

think

[warped mirage]

@slate swan look , i understand this , so what they will have access to my bot and dashboard

or what cuz makes no sense

[slate swan]

...?

bot and dashbaord?

[warped mirage]

idfk will they have access to my application? and view token and that

[slate swan]

well, no

[warped mirage]

then how the f do they see this ???

[slate swan]

😭

they wont see that

[warped mirage]

then why the f do i make tos and what for

bro @slate swan it makes no sense

please explain

[slate swan]

dude, you're stubborn

[warped mirage]

only discord have tos for fs lmao

[warped mirage]

bots cannot have a tos

[slate swan]

every application does

a website, an android app, an iOS app

etc
