yo guys, im trying to add a button to my discord embed in .py
how should i do it? couldnt find anything on the docs

[paper sluice]

!d discord.ui.View you use discord.ui.Button to make buttons, then you add the buttons to view and send it with the embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

New in version 2.0.

[paper sluice]

like this:

...
view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(discord.ui.Button(...))
ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

[shrewd apex]

why would u create a database for prefixes

just create one db and create a prefix table in that

[slate swan]

^

and connecting every time...

[robust fulcrum]

How to fix this?

[slate swan]

f

[robust fulcrum]

.

[shrewd apex]

rip

[robust fulcrum]

Ig i did something silly wrong

[slate swan]

even the sql operations are wrong, I think i'll create an example for custom prefixes

[robust fulcrum]

Whats wrong in it?

[shrewd apex]

almost the whole thing

[robust fulcrum]

Tf

[shrewd apex]

ur approach of using db is wrong

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm

How can I make it good?

[shrewd apex]

a database is a database coz it can store multiple stuff

u don't make one db for each thing instead u make one db and store everything there

[robust fulcrum]

I made one db bro

[shrewd apex]

for starters u can make ur table in the setup hook itself with the create table statement and then make a db connection object and use that connection throughout the bot

instead of opening and closing everytime

[robust fulcrum]

Oh means i should do
setup_hook() where i need to connect?

[shrewd apex]

do u open and close the door of ur room everytime i enter or exit 👀 same principle

[shrewd apex]

yes since setup hook is called once when the bot starts

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[slate swan]

,

[shrewd apex]

u can even make a .py file for all SQL db and tables and run that function in the setup hook

[shrewd apex]

.

[slate swan]

😳

[robust fulcrum]

I am confused how to do

[shrewd apex]

theoretically Einstein's used 10% of his brain

avg people like me 1%

barely

[robust fulcrum]

Me very less brain

🧠
🔥

My Brain buring

[paper sluice]

couple of thing, you didnt define bot.cursor, connect is not a variable in the scope of get_prefix, you are closing connection in connection fn so then you can't usebot.connect
and you don't commit when you select data, you only commit when you edi the table/db

[paper sluice]

i use that 1% in all the wrong places :/

[robust fulcrum]

Me use 1% in playing games

And 5% study

And 0.1% python

[paper sluice]

Anyone here have any tutorial on sqlite?

[paper sluice]

https://www.sqlitetutorial.net

[robust fulcrum]

I mean for discord bots

[lament mesa]

there probably aren't tutorials for using sqlite in discord bots

seems too specific

[shrewd apex]

i know one for pgsql

idk for aiosqlite

but the pgsql one is kinda well not too pro

[paper sluice]

its literally sqlite, there is nothing more to it

[robust fulcrum]

But my this is not working

[lament mesa]

any errors?

[shrewd apex]

u might want to look at the code first

[lament mesa]

idk i cant see any issues at first glance

[slate swan]

use a tuple instead of a set

and also what is this new setup hook thing

[shrewd apex]

its new in dpy 2.0 and thats not how u use setup hook ;-;

[lament mesa]

you forgot the comma, it should be (id,) not (id),

[lament mesa]

oh, i have lost in touch with the new features

[robust fulcrum]

It's working

Uuuu maaaaa

[lament mesa]

👍

[robust fulcrum]

Now i need to make the set_prefix

[robust fulcrum]

How we can use bot mention as a prefix?

[lament mesa]

there was a mentions_or function iirc

[shrewd apex]

when_mentioned_or

[lament mesa]

lol setup_hook looks like a good way to create deadlocks 🤣

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

return the prefix from get_prefix function

tell me if u are returning how is the commit and close working

[shrewd apex]

print the prefix and see

[robust fulcrum]

Prefix table empty yet

[shrewd apex]

also if u are just reading from db do u need commit?

i dont think so

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm

Ig for selecting value

[iron sorrel]

why do u need the bot parameter in this function

you are not even using it

[robust fulcrum]

Someone told me

[lament mesa]

bot will be passed if you use it or not

[robust fulcrum]

How can we update the cell in sqlite?

Means i want to update the prefix where guild Id is message guild id

[iron sorrel]

UPDATE table
SET 
  column=?
WHERE guild_id=?

[robust fulcrum]

UPDATE prefixtab SET prefix='any' WHERE guild_id=?, (id,))

Is it correct?

[iron sorrel]

no

not any, you would rather do NULL

and then while fetching your data, you will do:
prefix = curs.fetchone() or "!"

null or default is gonna be default

some or default is gonna be some

[robust fulcrum]

await cursor.execute('UPDATE prefixtab SET prefix=? WHERE guild_id=?',(newpre,id))

I made for updating prefix

[robust fulcrum]

Oof it's not returning

How can I fix it?

Pls help

🥺

[paper sluice]

print prefix and see whats wrong

[flat solstice]

Is it possible to use a mix of the new auto mod features and modals to present users with a yes/no question when they try to send a msg? For example I want to try to display a 'popup' to user's when they try to send a msg that includes a ping to one of my staff members so that I can ask them why they are attempting to ping that person (in our rules we don't allow ppl to ping for support issues but they can ping for moderation issues and I want them to confirm they understand that rule before sending their msg). If it's not possible right now do you think it will be possible in future as discord expands on the auto mod API

[robust fulcrum]

It's printing the default prefix not the fetch one

what library do u recommend

and where are the docs

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[vale sierra]

the same length ?

[junior forum]

They just said its supposed to work

[paper sluice]

well, ur passing a NoneType as prefix

[vale sierra]

fixed the problem, thats wasnt this but thanks

[robust fulcrum]

Means?

[robust fulcrum]

Is it possible to fix it?

[paper sluice]

means you basically doing command_prefix=None in the commands.Bot's constructor

[cloud dawn]

That point just use a Client

[robust fulcrum]

import aiosqlite
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

async def get_prefix(Bot, message):
    connect = await aiosqlite.connect('prefixes.db')
    cursor = await connect.cursor()
    id = message.guild.id
    await cursor.execute('SELECT prefix FROM prefixtab where guild_id=?',(id,))
    await connect.commit()
    prefix = await cursor.fetchone()
    print(prefix)
    return prefix
    await connect.close()

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

async def connect():
    bot.connect = await aiosqlite.connect('prefixes.db')
    cursor = await bot.connect.cursor()
    await cursor.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS prefixtab(guild_id INTEGER,prefix TEXT)')
    await bot.connect.commit()
    await bot.connect.close()

bot.setup_hook = connect

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

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send("working")

@bot.command()
async def set_prefix(ctx,newpre):
    id = ctx.guild.id
    connect = await aiosqlite.connect('prefixes.db')
    cursor = await connect.cursor()
    await cursor.execute('SELECT prefix FROM prefixtab where guild_id=?',(id,))
    await connect.commit()
    await cursor.execute('UPDATE prefixtab SET prefix=? WHERE guild_id=?',(newpre,id))
    await connect.commit()
    await connect.close()

Here is code any solution?

[paper sluice]

    return prefix
    await connect.close()

bruh, the connection would never close

do this

try:
    return prefix
finally:
    await connect.close()

or better, just use the context manager

async with aiosqlite.connect('prefixes.db') as connect:
    cursor = await connect.cursor()
     ...
     return prefix

and for your problem, prefix is None and hence why you get that error

remove the commit you don't need it, you only need it when you are modifying the table

i saw u typing multiple times lol

[winter gull]

What would be a good way for file structure for a discord bot? I am currently using this

check out the discord-bot-hosting thread

[paper sluice]

host it in a vps, if you want to know about vps check out #965291480992321536

[paper sluice]

what is reasons.py and stats.py?

cogs? files with functions you use in ur code?

[winter gull]

the reasons.py contains the class for a Select Menu and stats.py gives the user stats from a mysql db

[winter gull]

I just came across
that and dk how to use it with current Functionality.

[slate swan]

hi guys, can someone help me wit my bot, i want to save the authors message, but i cant

[winter gull]

save it where?

[paper sluice]

so, about file structures, you want to group similar type of files in one dir
like if you have cogs, you put them in one dir, if you have files which contain random thing you need, you put them in one directory
a good example is @unkempt canyon you can check out the source for the bot using !src

[winter gull]

oh, then what about .env file?

[slate swan]

im not the best in eng save in variable translater gives

[paper sluice]

cogs are means to spread commands into multiple files, so that you don't have one massive file containing all commands

[winter gull]

oh, can you share your code?

[winter gull]

alright, I'll try that Ty!!

[paper sluice]

just keep it where its easily accessible

[slate swan]

test = await client.wait_for('message')
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {test}")

[winter gull]

[winter gull]

use .lower()

[slate swan]

im sorry, but where?

[covert basin]

@client.command()

I want to set if there is no meme in the dictionary, the bot will reply with "No such meme in my harddisk 😭", but it doesn't work, what is the problem in my code

  if meme_id in meme_library:
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
  else:
    await ctx.send(no_meme=no_meme)

I think the main problem is in here

[paper sluice]

bro do embed=no_meme

[slate swan]

💀

no_meme=no_meme

[covert basin]

Still not working 😭

[paper sluice]

description can't be empty

so add ** **, or _ _

[slate swan]

how can i work with test as a string ?
test = await client.wait_for('message')
sss = test[0]
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {sss.content}")

[slate swan]

Just remove the description

[covert basin]

Still not working

[vale wing]

Just remove the description if it's empty also f'' wtf

If you use f-string, use it

[paper sluice]

that works?

[vale wing]

Otherwise use normal string

[slate swan]

how can i work with test as a string ?
test = await client.wait_for('message')
sss = test[0]
await ctx.send(f"first sign you wrote: {sss.content}")

pls help meee

[slate swan]

Yeah

[paper sluice]

cool

[slate swan]

In fields u need both

Wont work

[vale wing]

test is an instance of Message, you can access its content with content attribute

[tough lance]

Hi

[covert basin]

Still not working

[slate swan]

it gives me a bunch of errors

It says Unsolved Reference

Whenever the message comes up

[vale wing]

Don't make commands in on_message

[slate swan]

Don't use client

use bot

huh

[vale wing]

Find a tutorial that teaches about using @bot.command decorator

[slate swan]

so what do I change? I was just following a youtube tutorial

[vale wing]

Bad tutorial bro

[slate swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU-kWx-OYvE

[slate swan]

What if bot = discord.Client()

That one

[slate swan]

like this? (dont working)

[vale wing]

For only listening to events it's okay

[slate swan]

test = await client.wait_for('message')
sss = test[0].content
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {sss}")

It also gives me an error

when I do bot.command

it says unsolved reference

Bro

[vale wing]

If this tutorial uses on_message for commands then its author has too few knowledge

[slate swan]

Okay

THen what do I do

Can any of u give me a youtube tutorial to follow?

[vale wing]

This

[slate swan]

Okay

[vale wing]

I have one in my repo but it's unfinished

[slate swan]

@vale wing whats wrong?
test = await client.wait_for('message')
sss = test[0].content
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {sss}")

Cant find a tutorial on it lol

is there the docs

[vale wing]

test[0].content, the message is not subscriptable unlike content

[slate swan]

that could show it

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

A shortcut decorator that invokes [`command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.command "discord.ext.commands.command") and adds it to the internal command list via [`add_command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin.add_command").

[slate swan]

Hello, how can I fix this error?

[vale wing]

And I think there's a good example but somewhere else

[vale wing]

Install newer version of lib

[slate swan]

@vale wing

[vale wing]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

lol

[tough lance]

wait_for("message") returns the message object

[slate swan]

so how can i work with test as a string?

[slate swan]

lib of python ?

[vale wing]

Discord

[slate swan]

Discord.py 2.0 he mean

ur using 1.7.3

okay thanks

[slate swan]

so how can i work with test as a string?

[slate swan]

so how can i work with test as a string?

[vale wing]

I already told you

Ask someone else if my explanation wasn't clear, I am not a spoonfeeder

[tough lance]

[slate swan]

sorry my eng isnt that good i cant find your answer what whould i whrite to work with test as a string

[vale wing]

Ok "clearer" explanation: the test is an instance of discord.Message, you want its content. Content is accessible with content attribute of discord.Message object. Attribute is a programming term you should be familiar with

Looks even more confusing

[flat fiber]

how i can put my bot to answer a word and not exactly all the prashe

i can provide my code if you want to see but idk how to put only just a word required and notall the phrase

[tough lance]

Wdym?

[flat fiber]

look

when i write hi the bot answer hi too

[slate swan]

im too bad

[flat fiber]

but when i write hi bot he doesnt answer

[slate swan]

how do I install version 2.0?

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[tough lance]

Well you must be checking if the whole message is hi.
You need to check if hi is in the message

[vale wing]

if "word" in your_string

[winter gull]

uhh put the test.content in a string and do this <string>.lower() where <string> = your string name

[slate swan]

i got test from discord.Message from wait_for('message')
so, what should i whrite to work with test as a string, to do test[0] for example? I cant catch sorrry

[vale wing]

You can't work with Message as a string cause it's not one

[tough lance]

Didn't you just said you don't spoonfeed 🙃

[slate swan]

👀

[vale wing]

You can only work with its content which you most likely need

[vale wing]

Well what else could you tell to him

[slate swan]

install git

[flat fiber]

so on the front of my string i have to put word not message right

[vale wing]

Wut

[flat fiber]

mate i am confused as fuck

[vale wing]

!e print("hi" in "hi dude")

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[slate swan]

ha yes it's true I had forgotten

thanks

[vale wing]

You basically get a bool from that

[slate swan]

like this?

test = await client.wait_for('message')
test=test.lower()
sss=test[0]
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {sss}")

[vale wing]

test is not a str

[slate swan]

how to make it string?

[vale wing]

May I ask

What's your python knowledge

[slate swan]

0

L

[vale wing]

Nice

Who was I even explaining OOP to

[slate swan]

MError

[slate swan]

i myself know c++, but c++ discord lib is bad, so i try work with python

[vale wing]

Ok I encourage learning but learning python from a discord bot is not a good idea with zero of python knowledge

[vale wing]

You know c++ at like what level? Loops, functions, classes?

[slate swan]

i can make a chess game, worked with maps, massives, vectors etc \

Cool

[vale wing]

That's truly cool but you should learn about OOP for python

Object oriented programming

[slate swan]

just explane me how make test.message to test.string

to_string

[vale wing]

Eh I didn't want to do this till the last moment

test.content

Ok now I am a spoonfeeder 😔

[slate swan]

Haha

my eng is 0, my python is 0, and your jokes are ununderstandable

💀

gor me

[vale wing]

He's joking about me but ok

[slate swan]

i mean this you whrite haha so @vale wing joked

[flint isle]

No way my AI bot got 3 stars on repo, that's the max I have ever reached lmao

[vale wing]

Probably your encoder is blocking

Although I can't tell exactly

But seems like it is

Run your encoding process in executor

I don't remember its name

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable new mistake guys

[vale wing]

Basically asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(None, your_func)

[slate swan]

progress incoming

there is always a mistake

Don't call

Event

How do I call it to make it work?

[vale wing]

You don't

You decorate a func with it, the decorator doesn't require arguments actually 🤓

[slate swan]

im trying this:

test = await client.wait_for('message')
sss=test.content[0]
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {sss}")

Nice

[slate swan]

Ok im done

just remove [0] and ur fine

sorry it's enough

if i need only first sign ?

@sick panther, please enable your DMs to receive the bookmark.

Lol

[tawdry canyon]

please can someone help me with discord.py

I keep getting the same error:
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'guild'

Here is my code:
`import discord
from datetime import datetime

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Ready")
print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

return

quotes_channel_id = discord.utils.get(client.guild.channels, name="quotes").id
bot_message = f"{message}\n- {message.author}, {datetime.today().strftime('%d/%m/%Y')}"
await quotes_channel_id.send(bot_message)
print(f"{bot_message}")

client.run('bot token')`

[paper sluice]

check if str is empty, then index it. Or just put it in a try-except

[paper sluice]

do message.guild instead of client.guild

[tawdry canyon]

tysm

[slate swan]

it is not empty because i enter it

test = await client.wait_for('message')
sss=test.content[0]
await ctx.send(f"You wrote: {sss}")

[tawdry canyon]

now it says this but i think it might be a similar issue?
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'send'

[paper sluice]

.id returns int, so you can't send it using that

remove the .id

[tawdry canyon]

oh ok

[paper sluice]

may i ask, why do you want the first element of the message?

[slate swan]

i want to work with test as a string, for my all work i need to take the message and replace the date from it to 2 lists and work with them

[night lagoon]

I do my own library, and it loads my font from bot files, not from library files

How to fix this?

I try it and this is not working

font_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "SFMono.ttf")

my_font = Font(font_path, size=40) ```

[slate swan]

Hello

I was wondering why this code isnt working

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("We have logged in as {0.user}".format(client))

    channel1 = client.get_channel(994603594814849067)
    await channel1.send('Hello I am back online now.')

    user = client.get_user(756857769545564180)
    await user.send('Yo whats good kid.')```

The last two lines of the code dont work

It is supposed to send a direct message to me.

[paper sluice]

how is that related to the first index of the string?

[iron sorrel]

can i make a task run every hour? like not looping in an hour, every
00:00 AM 01:00 AM ... 12:00 PM so on

you arent reading, are you?

[slate swan]

if i cant work with it as a string how can i make my work?

[winter gull]

it showed up after sometime running the bot

[slate swan]

wym by thatr

[iron sorrel]

actually, fetching users in on ready is a bad idea, cuz thats just how discord api is built

[iron sorrel]

bots have caches, of users and so on, when you connect to discord api, they send you that cache, and you can access it later,

[tough lance]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[winter gull]

i am creating a task loop when on ready

[iron sorrel]

and so are you

[tough lance]

There is a time Param

[iron sorrel]

no, listen

[tough lance]

Time Param makes the loop run at specific intervals

[winter gull]

@bot.listen()
async def on_ready():
    bot.loop.create_task(dynamic_presence())

async def dynamic_presence():
    while True:
        await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name=f"with {JavaServer.lookup('').status().players.online} players on "))

the error popped when i wrote this code

[iron sorrel]

i dont want to run a task each hour, i want to run a task each time the clock hits 00 minutes, each time an hour passes FROM 00:00, AND NOT from the time the task was started

[iron sorrel]

😭😭😭😭

[tough lance]

I mean it rakes datetime.time as parm

[iron sorrel]

first of all, you are spamming the api, try put a sleep there, and there are commands.tasks for this

[iron sorrel]

where

[iron sorrel]

show me how I run a task at 12:00pm and 12:00 am

ok

thank you so much<3

[winter gull]

alright

thanks

[paper sluice]

i still don't understand why you need the first index specifically

[flint isle]

whats the none for?

[vale wing]

Default executor

[flint isle]

ah

[vale wing]

You can specify some other if you would like to

[slate swan]

    @commands.command()
    @commands.guild_only()
    @commands.cooldown(1, 10, commands.BucketType.user)
    async def help(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Pick now!!", components = [Select(placeholder="Options", options=[SelectOption(label="Monkey", value="Ok")])])
        interaction = await self.client.wait_for("select_option", check = lambda i: i.component[0].value == "Ok")
        print('Hi!')

Doesnt work it always says interaction failed

[vale wing]

Default one works fine imo

[vale wing]

Subclass help command for god's sake

[slate swan]

bruh

ok

[vale wing]

Also help is a builtin

[zinc reef]

you can ovewrite anything in python

In [1]: help = "hi mom"

In [2]: help
Out[2]: 'hi mom'

it's just not a good practice

[paper sluice]

you can, python doesn't stop you

[vale wing]

Weird how people face issues with overriding it exclusively in dpy

Anyway overriding builtins is a bad idea generally

Except of course

id

[flint isle]

can i pass details from a var in it to code below the executor?

[slate swan]

@commands.slash_command(name='clear', description='Clear messages')

type hint amount with int

[slate swan]

I already tried that and it gave an error

[gusty shard]

should i do cogs my bot?

will it affect anything?

[slate swan]

no

[paper sluice]

what error?

[slate swan]

only serves to organize

[slate swan]

**Command raised an exception: TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int' **

[paper sluice]

u didnt type hint as i said

[paper sluice]

that is not a type hint

[gusty shard]

thanls

[slate swan]

error bro

[paper sluice]

amount: int is a type hint

do that ^

[slate swan]

ok thanks

[pine marsh]

anyone wanna help?? got a discord bot that is auto posting embeds to twitter via tweepy.. i can get it to work with message.content but i need embed description and image... ive tried a few things but caint get it, heres my code below

if message.author != client.user and str(message.channel.id) ==discord_channel_id3 :
        api.update_status(status=message.content)
        print('Tweet posted from channel 3')

this is the part i need help with

       api.update_status(status=message.content)

assuming its gotta be something like this?

       api.update_status(status=message.Embed(description, image_url)

but i caint figure it out

[slate swan]

you can reference to this and make something like these helper functions -> https://github.com/Ash-02014/Yuuki/blob/main/Yuuki/utils/utils.py#L23-L42

[pine marsh]

yeah ive reference everywhere i just caint seem to figure it out

[slate swan]

so whats the alternate thing

[iron sorrel]

wait some time, and fetch after some time

im sorry if that came out rude.

[limpid thicket]

How can I await my function after the bot has finished playing the source?

voiceClient.play(source, after=await after_audio_finished)

This doesn't work.

[iron sorrel]

no, they also give you commands.task(time=) kw param, which was what i needed.

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready

[iron sorrel]

you will need to wrap it in something

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_until\_ready

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

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

Warning

Calling this inside [`setup_hook()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook "discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook") can lead to a deadlock.

[limpid thicket]

What does that mean

[heady sluice]

that's a

[iron sorrel]

def after_play():
  loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
  loop.run_until_complete(after_audio_finished)

voiceClient.play(source, after=after_play)

[heady sluice]

music bot

[iron sorrel]

this is what i mean

[slate swan]

do i use asyncio.time(5)

[limpid thicket]

I did that

But it says I have to await it

[iron sorrel]

await what?

[limpid thicket]

If it's after=after_play it isn't being awaited the function

It's an async function

[iron sorrel]

asyncio.sleep()

[slate swan]

okay

tysm

[limpid thicket]

You did def not async def like I did

[shrewd apex]

@slate swan

[iron sorrel]

is voiceClient.play a coroutine?

[iron sorrel]

i know what i did

[limpid thicket]

ok

No it isnt

[iron sorrel]

there are 2 separate funcs

can u

!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.

[limpid thicket]

I want functions but i cant send stuff or do functions on discord without it being async

[slate swan]

that gives me an error and says unsolved reference

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("We have logged in as {0.user}".format(client))

    channel1 = client.get_channel(994603594814849067)
    await channel1.send('Hello I am back online now.')

    user = await client.fetch_user(756857769545564180)
    await user.send('Yo whats good kid.')

client.run(TOKEN)

This gives a RuntimeWarning: couroutine 'sleep' was never awaited

[iron sorrel]

you need to await asyncio.sleep

[slate swan]

Ok

[iron sorrel]

but where do you have asyncio sleep here, you dont have it

[slate swan]

I got rid of it

[heady sluice]

interesting

[slate swan]

It was above the line that declared user

[iron sorrel]

do f strings,

[slate swan]

oh

[iron sorrel]

and not .format,

.format is old, and its used for something else now,

[limpid thicket]

Can I send it to u on dms

[iron sorrel]

yes

[limpid thicket]

ok they are closed

[iron sorrel]

friend request sent

[slate swan]

Why is the error message for this command not working? I have another command, it is with the same code and it is working

if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
   print("Erro.")```

Error is spelled wrong

[slate swan]

?

n vm

I live in Portugal

I just put "error" by showing in the console to see if it would show up. But it doesn't show up. A message was supposed to appear in the chat, but it doesn't appear either. It just shows the error on the console saying that the user doesn't have permission

yea ima be honesddt idk anythin about discord.oy yet

im trying to learn struff rn

[slate swan]

huh? wdym?

[slate swan]

I am using the translator, so apologies if there are errors in the message.

I have 2 commands that use the same base to show the errors. When the person does not have permission to use a command, a message should appear in the chat saying that the person does not have permission.

In command 1, it works. It shows the message that the person doesn't have permission.
On command 2, it doesn't work. It doesn't show the message.

I wanted to understand why this happens if the two commands are the same.

if i have a previously defined function, can i use it inside of my command function?

[slate swan]

maybe the person has permissions?

[slate swan]

yes why not?

[slate swan]

it doesn't. The error message (discord.py's default message) appears on the console

but for some reason, it doesn't show up in chat and neither does the print("error") I tried

but in command 1, he already appears in the chat

[slate swan]

show code

can u dm?

# Error from Command 1 -
@banUser.error
    async def ban_error(self, ctx, error: CommandError):
        if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
            await ctx.send(":off:  **| Você não tem permissão para usar este comando!**\nPara usar este comando, você precisa da permissão de `Banir membros`.")```

so im making a welcome image that will send an image with like a little circle but i dont get any errors just nothing hppens

# Error from command 2 -
 @suggestionCommand.error
 async def suggestionCommand_error(self, ctx, error: CommandError):
     if isinstance(error, MissingPermissions):
        print("Erro.")

Amazingly, command 2, has another type of error which is "MissingRequiredArgument" and this one works perfectly.

@slate swan

[paper sluice]

do you have member_content intent enabled?

[slate swan]

i dont think no

[slate swan]

it doesnt send a message because you are printing to the console not sending anything

[paper sluice]

then do intents.message_content = True before passing it in commands.Bot

[slate swan]

alright will do

[slate swan]

that is not the problem

even if I set it to send a message. It doesn't send

not even the message that I tell him to put in the console he sends

[slate swan]

commands.Bot?

[paper sluice]

well, maybe MissingPermissions is never raised

[paper sluice]

you use discord.Client?

[slate swan]

and how do I solve that?

[slate swan]

ohh no no

i use commands.Bot my bad

``` Hello, i have this error with this part of code thanks for helping me

[paper sluice]

ya now do

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(..., intents=intents)

[slate swan]

like this?

[paper sluice]

do you have it set so that people will certain perms can interact with the cmd?

[slate swan]

@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
async def channel(self, ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):```

[paper sluice]

no, in ur case just do client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>>', case_insensitive=True, intents=intents)

[slate swan]

alright

[paper sluice]

does the command work? is suugestionCommand a group or something?

[slate swan]

yup

[paper sluice]

you need to define intents, as i did b4

[slate swan]

a group

ah

[vale sierra]

someone to help me please ?

[slate swan]

there we go

ill try now

[paper sluice]

print out the type of error in the handler and see what you get when someone who doesn't have admin tries to run the command

[paper sluice]

oh, r u on discord.py 1.7.3?

[slate swan]

it prints the standard message that the person does not have the administrator permission.

[paper sluice]

print(repr(error)) that will show the type

it is supposed to be MissingPermissions though, does it not get caught by it?

[slate swan]

I think I understand the problem

1 sec

[slate swan]

i shouldnt be? no

I understood my mistake. Basically I was getting an error from a command that was not supposed to exist. @paper sluice

I have 2 commands, one that sets the channel and one that sends the suggestion. I was putting for the errors of setting a channel in the errors of sending the suggestion. Since it was not the "send suggestion" command that was getting the error, it would never show the error message.

[paper sluice]

no, type pip show discord.py in ur terminal and you will see the version there

[slate swan]

ah well u are right

[paper sluice]

so the bot is not responding when a member joins the guild?

[slate swan]

yes.

and theres no errors just it doesnt respond

[paper sluice]

do you have an error handler?

[slate swan]

its suppose to be like this

no

[paper sluice]

put some prints inside on_member_join and see where it is breaking

[slate swan]

wym some prints

[vale sierra]

    if carabine[0] > 0:

anyone wanna help with a discord embed. I’m not trying to make embeds. I’m trying to read them and output select info from them to tweepy… #help-chili

[swift acorn]

I'm using on_raw_reaction_add(payload): event, and I want to remove the reaction that has been added, I can't find a way to remove the reaction that was added could anyone help?

[slate swan]

hello, I'm looking for someone who could modify my code because I didn't manage to get the result I wanted

This is what I would like

and this is the result I got

and this is the code : ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from http import client

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)
guild = 972222588828942337
channel = 993653876626563122
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
res = f'content: {message.content}' + "\n" + f'user: {message.author}' + "\n"
if message.author.bot:
return
res = res + f'attachments:' + "\n"
await bot.get_guild(guild).get_channel(channel).send(res)

bot.run('token')

[slate swan]

you send the attachment using the file kwarg and pass in a discord.File object

[hidden snow]

hey is it against tos to dm people with a bot, im tryna do player registration for something and want them to be dmd by a bot to accept or deny

[slate swan]

file = discord.File("uwu.jpg")
await obj.send("uwuwuwuwuwuuw", file=file)

[slate swan]

no it's not

[hidden snow]

dope ty

[swift acorn]

I'm trying to use user.roles, user is a user in my command and I've used user.roles in other commands but now it says that 'User' object has no attribute 'roles'

[vale sierra]

thats the full error

[slate swan]

a discord.User class is a representation of a user discord account which has no roles since its an account, discord.Member class is a class is a representation of a user inside a guild which guilds do have roles

[vale sierra]

ik that's just the error

[swift acorn]

O yeah figured it out I had to use guild.get_member, thanks a lot tho

[slate swan]

member = interaction.user
if not isinstance(user, discord.Member):
  member = get_member(...) or await fetch_member(...)

[swift pumice]

is the intents thing no a must do thing?

[slate swan]

what?

[swift pumice]

cant you use ur bot without the intents

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

if not interaction.guild:
    member = get_member(...) or await fetch_member(...)

less chars

you can

ok

just wanted to ask

what ?

it doesn't make sense to ask if a string is less than a int

[vale sierra]

yes so i need to convert it ?

[hardy yoke]

it needs to be an int yes

[vale sierra]

how can i do it ? do you have a code example pls ?

[hardy yoke]

int(j) would convert the number in j to an int

If j does not have a number, but rather a word (e.g "dog"), then the comparison doesn't make sense. Might need to explain what ur trying to acomplish

thanks it work

I have a changeprefix command that goes into prefixes.json and changes the prefix to what was requested. I made a error so that if they dont pass in all the requirements it will just send the server's prefix. but instead of the servers prefix I get whatever's in the prefixes.json file

Code:

@changeprefix.error
async def changeprefix_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
            prefix = json.load(f)
        await ctx.send(f'My Prefix in this server is {prefix}')```

[slate swan]

select a key smh

[slate swan]

how?

[slate swan]

if you are using json, you should know how to work with it, select the guild id from the data

[slate swan]

how

[fleet sand]

Does anyone ever write a discord bot that also send whatsapp message?

[slate swan]

dude
prefix[guild_id] and make sure that the key is an str

[slate swan]

its a discord bot not whatsapp

[slate swan]

what

[fleet sand]

It's a discord bot that also send whatsapp message

Anyone ever wrote that?

Like the notification can be sent through whatsapp too

[slate swan]

like this?

[swift pumice]

Hi, is making a level system hard?

[slate swan]

Depends

[spring flax]

Are you?

[swift pumice]

i dont know anything about databases

[slate swan]

N O

[slate swan]

yes

doubt

[spring flax]

How do you do it then?

[swift pumice]

can you tell me what i need to do? (dont send me a code) i just want to know what i need to do

[slate swan]

I stringed it but I didnt add all the reqs

[swift pumice]

and ill try myself

[slate swan]

this is what I did:

prefix.get[str(ctx.guild.id)]```

[slate swan]

use a db
with an on_message event/listener where you update the stats

[slate swan]

Use a fire base database, it’s easy to set up and learn

Plus it’s free and made by Google

[swift pumice]

okay

[slate swan]

SQL ftw 😔

[swift pumice]

thank you guys

[spring flax]

Sqlite is also a good option imo

[slate swan]

postrgreSQL is suggested

but sqlite works good enough

[spring flax]

If its small, postgresql may be a bit...unnecessary? I think

[swift pumice]

what is a db when i could ask?

[spring flax]

Database

[slate swan]

Stores data

[spring flax]

Is that what you meant?

[slate swan]

A database is just a storage method and is used for persistent data operations.

[swift pumice]

okay

thanks

[safe obsidian]

wth

[slate swan]

He’s saying something about discord bots

[safe obsidian]

absolutely not 😂

[slate swan]

It’s a good guess

Considering this is the discord bots channel

What is the discord error if a required argument is missing

Is it just MissingRequiredArgument ?

[flat solstice]

Hi I'm just wondering if it's possible to do this```py
view = View()
if persistant is not True:
view.add_item(AlphaDropdown())

elif persistant is True:
view.timeout=None
view.add_item(PersistentDropdown())instead of thispy
if persistant is not True:
view = View()
view.add_item(AlphaDropdown())

elif persistant is True:
    view = View(timeout=None)
    view.add_item(PersistentDropdown())``` when setting the timeout of a dropdown (d.py 2.0)

[slate swan]

Yep

[slate swan]

Try it and see if it works as expected

    embed.add_field(name=f'Answer: {random.choice(responses)}')
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

nothing is being sent

whys embed now defined?

[wicked atlas]

because you named it em, not embed

[slate swan]

await ctx.send(embed=em)```

ah ok

[vale sierra]

sure, https://paste.pythondiscord.com/urewakivet

[slate swan]

This does not show the carbine var

[vale sierra]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/eduliqebor

[slate swan]

This still doesn’t show it

[vale sierra]

why do you mean by carabine var

[slate swan]

Show the actual [“1”,”2”,”3”]

[vale sierra]

i just want to convert a str to a int if you can't help me that's not a problem

if int(carabine[0]) > 0:
```  hello, what is the correct syntax to convert str in int in this code ? i have this error :

[slate swan]

Show the string you are trying to convert

print(carbine[0]) for me

[vale sierra]

if carabine[0] > 0:
``` error : so i want to convert it into a int

[slate swan]

Ok bro

Print(carbine[0])

And I can help you

[vale sierra]

go ahead

what i should change ?

[slate swan]

[wicked atlas]

Make sure the values in your list are values that can actually be converted to an integer, then use the int() function to convert it to one

[vale sierra]

do you have a code example ?, i alr try this but its dont work : python if int(carabine[0]) > 0:

[wicked atlas]

Show the values in carabine

[slate swan]

Print(carbine[0]) and show us it

[wicked atlas]

And be more specific about "dont work". In what way did it not work?

[slate swan]

Well he gave the error

[wicked atlas]

This error looks like it's happening on an entirely different line than the one you're showing

[slate swan]

Print(carbine[0])

How many times

[slate swan]

^

[wicked atlas]

int(carbine[0]) is fine. The error you send in your first screenshot probably happens on this line

cursor.execute(f"UPDATE tools SET carabine = ? WHERE user_id = ?", (carabine[0] - 1, ctx.author.id))

You're trying to subtract 1 from carabine[0], which is a string

[slate swan]

There isn’t any > operand

why are you storing the numbers in carabine as strings

True

[wicked atlas]

very good question

[slate swan]

But Print(carbine[0]) for goodness sake

It’s not like it’s gonna end the world

I’m positive it’s either gonna return “[“ or a string that isn’t an int

[wicked atlas]

They have yet to show a ValueError, so I'd say it won't

[slate swan]

Bruh they dipped

average day in #discord-bots

[wicked atlas]

lol

[slate swan]

I swear some people who ask questions here are bots themselves

[slate swan]

I need help

import asyncio

import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = 'no'
activity = discord.Activity(name="VALORANT", type=discord.ActivityType.playing)
client = discord.Client(activity=activity)
prefix = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {client.user}")

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print(f'{member} has joined the server.')

@client.event
async def on_member_remove(member):
    print(f'{member} has left the server.')

client.run(TOKEN)

The code wont work for the on_member_join and on_member_leave

!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]

what

intents?

Do I need to activate them

the priveledged gateway

yes, read the whole embed!

for those commands to work

[slate swan]

Wait look at my code though

yeah no intents instance

yea but

pls read the whole embed :))

I diddd

Let me finish

What I am trying to say is like since I used @client.event and I changed it to bot I would need to do @bot.event correct?

Sorry I didnt mean to be rude

that is correct only have the bot instance and have intents on

and ofc run the bot with its instance so remove client

[slate swan]

at the end Ima change client.run(TOKEN)
to bot.run(TOKEN)

yup!

tysm

[slow fog]

SUS

[slate swan]

how?

[slate swan]

sussy baka'

🤨

new problem @slate swan

whatsup?

import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Intents

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True
TOKEN = 'none'
activity = discord.Activity(name="VALORANT", type=discord.ActivityType.playing)
client = discord.Client(activity=activity)
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {bot.user}")

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    print(f'{member} has joined the server.')

@bot.event
async def on_member_remove(member):
    print(f'{member} has left the server.')

bot.run(TOKEN)

Basically the status wont show anymore

the activity and client lines

those create the status but it doenst work anymore

put it in your bot

not client

add a comma?

remove this line

client = discord.Client(activity=activity)

and just pass activity to your bot instance

Wait

So like this:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.', intents=intents, discord.Client(activity=activity)

No

no no, remove discord.Client

Oh

and the opening parenthesis (

so just

activity = activity

why do we use bot instead of client tho

in your bot constructor yes

dont discord.Client and commands.Bot do the smae thing?

[slate swan]

because the bot class has more features

Oh'

[slate swan]

its a subclass of Client

Ok

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result 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.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

oh

so it has more features nice

yup

weird lol

tysm tho

👍

now ima check if this works

Wait so in the bot instance we can put anything in the arguments?

is there an api for this subclasss or any resources

you can use random kwargs because of **optionsyes

Ight

[slate swan]

no only documentation like the one given above

just press the blue title in the embed and you will see all of its attributes and methods

ok

ty

❤️

What do functin decorators even do?

@slate swan for example @bot.event or @bot.command

Do they have any purpose or is it like commenting

[slate swan]

they can change a functions behavior

!function_decorator

!d help

[unkempt canyon]

help

help([object])```
Invoke the built-in help system. (This function is intended for interactive use.) If no argument is given, the interactive help system starts on the interpreter console. If the argument is a string, then the string is looked up as the name of a module, function, class, method, keyword, or documentation topic, and a help page is printed on the console. If the argument is any other kind of object, a help page on the object is generated.

Note that if a slash(/) appears in the parameter list of a function when invoking [`help()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#help "help"), it means that the parameters prior to the slash are positional-only. For more info, see [the FAQ entry on positional-only parameters](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#faq-positional-only-arguments).

This function is added to the built-in namespace by the [`site`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/site.html#module-site "site: Module responsible for site-specific configuration.") module.

Similar names: django.help, pdbcommand.help

[slate swan]

theyre just dpy lib abstractions for registering commands and events lol

whats a dpy lib abstraction

lol

sorrrry im a very curious person

well discord.py has its own code structure/code base, and lib abstractions is basically a feature the library offers, e.g the command structure

[slate swan]

hey thats fine so am i, thats how we learn after all!

im trying to make a nsfw command but https://github.com/Nekos-life/nekos.py doesnt seem to work anyone know?

you can use pykawaii

!pypi pykawaii

[unkempt canyon]

pykawaii v4.1.0

Python api wrapper for the waifu.pics api

[slate swan]

thanks

[flat solstice]

how can I get the id of a interaction msg? I tried static = await interaction.response.send_message() then static.id but got told NonType object has no attr 'id'

[slate swan]

its docs is broken, i should fix that, its pretty easy and if you have questions just tell me 😅

yeah i do idk really know how i would set this up? i have it installed pip and it imported though

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

check the read me

[slate swan]

😳

yea i am just a lil confused

[slate swan]

sorry i would need to take time and figure out the issue which is probably related to dirs but you can check its src code https://github.com/Okimii/pykawaii/tree/main/pykawaii/models

yea i downloaded the winrar and im checking it atm

alr

[slate swan]

!d discord.Interaction.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.message

The message that sent this interaction.

[flat solstice]

so not just py static = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=view, ephemeral=ephemeral) static.message.id someone on the dpy server said I should be using original_message https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.original_message

[slate swan]

no no

the method doesnt return anything

maybe you might know this @slate swan i get this error keyerror 'url'

[slate swan]

you probably got an invalid response

probably a 400, so print the response

wym probably a 400?

the HTTP code

hello I hjad a questionm

@bot.command(aliases =['8ball', 'test'])
async def _8ball(ctx, *, question):
    responses = ['It is certain.',
                 'It is decidedly so.',
                 'Without a doubt',
                 'Yes definitely.',
                 'You may rely on it.',
                 'Reply hazy, try again',
                 'Ask again later.',
                 'My sources say no.',
                 'Outlook not so good.',
                 'Very doubtful.']
    await ctx.send(f'Question: {question}\nAnswer: {random.choice(responses)}')

I was wondering what does the asterick do?

I was following a YouTube tutorial

[slate swan]

it makes all arguments after key word only

Huh

!args-kwargs

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[slate swan]

oh right you wanted to know about decorators too

ye

!tags decorators

[unkempt canyon]

Decorators

A decorator is a function that modifies another function.

Consider the following example of a timer decorator:

>>> import time
>>> def timer(f):
...     def inner(*args, **kwargs):
...         start = time.time()
...         result = f(*args, **kwargs)
...         print('Time elapsed:', time.time() - start)
...         return result
...     return inner
...
>>> @timer
... def slow(delay=1):
...     time.sleep(delay)
...     return 'Finished!'
...
>>> print(slow())
Time elapsed: 1.0011568069458008
Finished!
>>> print(slow(3))
Time elapsed: 3.000307321548462
Finished!

More information:
• Corey Schafer's video on decorators
• Real python article

[slate swan]

i think neko.py is fucked? idk im talking to my friend who help me set it up originally and thats what he sia

[slate swan]

have you checked the response?

posistional vs keyword arguments means what?

!positional

[unkempt canyon]

Positional vs. Keyword arguments

Functions can take two different kinds of arguments. A positional argument is just the object itself. A keyword argument is a name assigned to an object.

Example

>>> print('Hello', 'world!', sep=', ')
Hello, world!

The first two strings 'Hello' and world!' are positional arguments.
The sep=', ' is a keyword argument.

Note
A keyword argument can be passed positionally in some cases.

def sum(a, b=1):
    return a + b

sum(1, b=5)
sum(1, 5) # same as above

Somtimes this is forced, in the case of the pow() function.

The reverse is also true:

>>> def foo(a, b):
...     print(a, b)
...
>>> foo(a=1, b=2)
1 2
>>> foo(b=1, a=2)
2 1

• Positional only arguments
• !tags param-arg (Parameters vs. Arguments)

[flat solstice]

Okay so I just added a self.add_view to my setup hook alongside a message_id of the msg with components that I want to stay persistent between restarts, restarted my bot and it's not listening to the interactions. I'm setting up my view here https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/ModMail-FAQ/blob/master/classes/faq.py#L33-L42 and this is how I'm grabbing the id of the interaction message that it listens to https://github.com/SnowyJaguar1034/ModMail-FAQ/blob/master/main.py#L103-L109

[left idol]

if i have an async function that does some stuff and returns some variables, how can i get these variables inside of my command function?

[slate swan]

yeah i just dont think neko works im trying yours again would something like this work

[slate swan]

you can use the api or the package i made

which mine has objs

where would i find tht?

on the github

yeah

check its examples in the read me or src
