you can do it through command prompt

you'd probably use subprocess to be able to evoke a terminal command

a command's first parameter should be of type commands.Context which doesn't have a contents/content attribute. You don't have to overwrite the command's name if the function's name is the same. Your indents are weird, startint and endint shouldn't be indented. In your endint function you're sending a string when I'm guessing you want to send the variable?

essentially i want a command that makes a random number generator. The first part is to activate the command which should work fine. The second and third part asks for the first and second integer which is how low and high the number generated in the end can be. These numbers would ideally be stored as variables in the code and be used in the the part, which just outputs a random number with the limitations previously made. Im trying to make it so it first asks "From?" which is where u say the first number and its stores it (x). Followed by that is "To?" which is the second number also stored as a variable (y). Then these numbers would be put into the generator and it would work

sick birch

Hm, probably doesn't support arrays then
Can you tell me about the nature of the information you're storing?
There may be a better way
E.g is it dynamic, do you allow other users to change it, etc
flint isle
different statuses the bot can have
other information that needs to be stored for some reason
sick birch
Can users change the list?
flint isle
yes
sick birch
Hmm yeah if the users didn't change it it would be very easy
You wouldn't need a database or a JSON file even
flint isle
i just need the posibility of them adding stuff
they dont need to edit entries at least
flint isle
in the database?
sick birch
Yes
sick birch
Just create a table as usual, add only one column of strings
sick birch
If you can get the data from the database into your python code as a list, a simple random.choice() will do

it should check if 2 objects are representationally the same
Sometimes they won't literally be the same, take some discord models for example. A discord.Member, at 2 different times, may not necessarily be the same (left guild, got new roles, changed name, etc) yet discord.py implements it in such a way that it is still the same (most likely by ID)
You can also just do something completely goofy like
def __eq__(self, other):
print("this is silly")
return False
so in this example, using is is better
sick birch
Generally is is used for checking NoneType as it's a singleton iirc

Does the footer field of an embed support masked links?
slate swan
Why .content is important?
Because: Every message (for example this message) contains a whole lot more data than just me writing this message and you seeing the words (content of the message), there's author id (my id) embeds, though user accounts cant send any, attachments, which are a held by an ideal data class which has all the propertied that represent these models, so using .content returns the content of the message, as its a property in that class which can be accessed to see the content of the message, same goes for attchments, embeds, etc.

I don't think u will want to open the VPS and do changes directly to the deployed bot code, in order to debug. Since eval only does the changes in cache and not in real files, it's safe to use it if u r debugging an already deployed bot

My bot resets the data for some servers randomly but this issue wasn't present while I was deving the bot since it's an edge case one. I was able to solve it using eval since I was able to see what is the value of some variable at a given point of time. This way I was able to figure out the issue without too much downtime and debug prints directly in the code

You put nothing in on_ready, basically all you put there is indicating that the bot is ready.
shrewd apex
Me asking do i need ti make file jishaku in cogs?
just add bot.load_extension in async with bot part before the bot.start line
shrewd apex
I think you can load cogs and extensions before async with block
its just one extension no need to make another async function block
honest laurel
its just one extension no need to make another async function block
How else you're going to load them without running in an async function?
I usually run it like this:
async def create_bot() -> commands.Bot:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(
command_prefix=settings.bot.prefix,
intents=intents,
)
return bot
async def main() -> None:
import app
import settings
bot = await app.create_bot()
async with bot:
await bot.start(token=settings.bot.token)
if __name__ == "__main__":
dotenv.load_dotenv()
asyncio.run(main())
I don't use bot.start
Me use bot.run

Why are you not using Intents.all()?
honest laurel
Why are you not using Intents.all()?

Cogs already were async π€

like

load_extension and add_cog are async now

in 1.7.3 it was def
honest laurel
in 1.7.3 it was def
oh really?
shrewd apex
yeah
honest laurel
in 1.7.3 it was def
shrewd apex
#1.7.3 was
bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))
#2.0 is
await bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))
cogs were async, if you're talking about add_cog method then say add_cog method π
But yep, these two methods were sync
honest laurel
so all cogs LOADING have to be async - I can't read sometimes
shrewd apex
only for v2
yeah for 2.0
slate swan
you could make them synced too if you monkey patch dpy
shrewd apex
you could make them synced too if you monkey patch dpy
u prolly know the whole tech tree of dpy
honest laurel
you could make them synced too if you monkey patch dpy
They're calling some async methods inside, so i wouldn't do that really
slate swan
Also what's wrong?
why even create a special function for creating a bot, subclass Bot instead
honest laurel
Because it's easier
shrewd apex
is creating or declaring bot instance without subclass bad?
slate swan

I mean he isn't really adding anything to Bot so subclass is a bit over the top.

@slate swan Where would you load extensions and cogs then?
slate swan
<@456226577798135808> Where would you load extensions and cogs then?

so why not just do bot=commands.Bot isnt that easier?
honest laurel
so why not just do bot=commands.Bot isnt that easier?
slate swan
so why not just do bot=commands.Bot isnt that easier?
it is easier but if you want special functions for your bot, then sub-classing is better
shrewd apex
yeah true
honest laurel
What kind of functions?
slate swan
What kind of functions?
maybe like a property that returns the uptime of the bot
slate swan
but i dont require them much so i dont
totally up to your code structure

I do loads of things inside the subclass Bot.

my env?
honest laurel
env variables
robust fulcrum
Hmm hey ash can you tell where I have to load extension?

env variables
elaborate why?

For example you can use pydantic
class BotSettings(BaseSettings):
class Config:
env_prefix = "bot_"
prefix: str = "!"
token: str
i'll be fine
honest laurel
I don't think you should store all of this in your bot, that's all

whats diff between os.environ and os.getenv?

whats diff between os.environ and os.getenv?
os.getenv is the same as os.environ.get
slate swan
I don't think you should store all of this in your bot, that's all
hm, but I do need them in different extensions, that's just unnecessary imports
honest laurel
hm, but I do need them in different extensions, that's just unnecessary imports
You can store settings instance on your bot too

whats diff between os.environ and os.getenv?
they're the same, just that, os.environ returns a dictionary of env variables

btw u guys know any good examples for selection drops the ones in the docs arent so good?

__bool__ method could be overridden, so it's better to use is None if you're checking for none specifically
Otherwise code like this might not work properly:

if not number:

hm interesting

There are some cases when you need to do something like this:
_unset = object()

welcome, just on a side note, if you dont want to subclass View to add the drop down, you could simply instantiate it in a variable using view = ui.View() and view.add_item(BaseDropDown()) in that case, and you could add a timeout if necessary in the View class's initiator function
