[sleek gyro]

so, how would i do this? where do i use the created_at output?

[slate swan]

created_at is a datetime.datetime object.

you'll be using .astimezone on it for your timezone

Why do I get this error and how do I fix it please?

[fading marlin]

what does your directory look like?

also, it's @client.command(), not client.command()

[upper belfry]

rip

[sleek gyro]

using this to get an message by its ID only works if the message is in the channel i used the command in, is there a way that it can work for messages in other channels too?

await interaction.channel.fetch_message(ID)

[sick birch]

You can.. but it's not ideal

Having to loop through each channel and fetching

[slate swan]

To me looks like you either need to change it to ./sea-soft-bot/cogs or move cogs up a level.

[fallow mauve]

in a message.listen event, does message.channel_id not work?

[sick birch]

It should

[brave flint]

Without getting current loop?

[harsh harness]

whenever i run my code it runs discord.py 1.7.3 even though i've installed 2.0, can anyone help please?

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ujifaligiy (full embed code in case needed) - blah, I am lost with my wait_for block.

        print('it works here 1') ## makes it up to here, shows in console.
    # Stops working here. Error handle/trace back isn't picking anything below up so its like its non-existent.
        reaction = await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=lambda reaction, user: user == reaction.message.id == msg.id)
        
        if reaction.emoji == '👍':
            CSGO = ctx.guild.get_role(780182144747569193)
            await bot.add_roles(CSGO)
        if reaction.emoji == '😀':
            WF = ctx.guild.get_role(780244861130768395)
            await ctx.add_roles(WF) ```

I currently have this wait_for block in my code, which isn't even being read at all, not by my error handler, no trace backs, nothing. I am pretty lost with it now, if anyone could help I would much appreciate it 🙂

[sick birch]

Are you using replit? I have heard of this happening on there

[harsh harness]

No, I’m using pycharm :/

[sick birch]

You should probably just use a on_raw_reaction_add instead of a while True with an event

[vital glacier]

The problem is mostly that we've uninstalled discord.py completely and reinstalled discord.py by using the git install from discord.py, yet it's still picking up discord.py 1.7.3 for him instead of v2.0

[slate swan]

hello i want to ask if its possible to add buttons on published annoucements messages on the server following the channel.

[harsh harness]

^^

[slate swan]

v2.0 is still beta. Not released yet

[vital glacier]

You think?

Wow, tell me something i dont know

[slate swan]

i dont think i know it

good experience here

[slate swan]

Would I then need to run the embed command in my discord, and get the message id so the on raw event can find the correct one? Or is there a way I could reference the embed on post in the event for on raw reaction add?

[sick birch]

Actually scratch what I said. I assumed you were making a reaction role sort of thing

Buttons are more suited for this

[slate swan]

It is, but your idea does sound better.

[sick birch]

If I'm to guess, this is what's wrong: check=lambda reaction, user: user == reaction.message.id

You're comparing a discord.User object with a int

Which will always be False

[slate swan]

Oh, i wouldn't know how to rectify that bit, I have been trying for a few days since someone told me ^^

[sick birch]

The larger problem there is you trying to compare a user to a message

Can you explain to me what you're trying to check for?

[rain olive]

💀

[slate swan]

So when the embed posts, the bot adds 5 reactions, the check is suppose to be for "reaction_add" so then if for example reaction is 👍 the bot check to see if a user reacts to said emoji, so it will then use that emoji to give the role by ID.

Well, that is what I am trying to achieve, but as you can tell.... Failing 🙂

[sick birch]

Yes, okay. The biggest problem here is the check.. it's quite flawed

[harsh harness]

i've uninstalled discord.py completely and reinstalled discord.py by using the git install from discord.py, yet it's still picking up discord.py 1.7.3 instead of v2.0 (pycharm)

[sick birch]

The 2 things you need to compare is that the user who made the reaction (user) is the same person who triggered the command. (ctx.author). You'll also want to check if the message the user reacted on (reaction.message) is the same as the embed message (msg)

Summary:

• Check if ctx.author == user
• Check if reaction.message == msg

You can also shorten this entire thing

        if reaction.emoji == '👍':
            CSGO = ctx.guild.get_role(780182144747569193)
            await bot.add_roles(CSGO)
        if reaction.emoji == '😀':
            WF = ctx.guild.get_role(780244861130768395)
            await ctx.add_roles(WF)
        if reaction.emoji == '🤓':
            LA = ctx.guild.get_role(947231964753170473)
            await bot.add_roles(LA)
        if reaction.emoji == '😆':
            CHILL = ctx.guild.get_role(896853904384458772)
            await bot.add_roles(CHILL)
        if reaction.emoji == '💪':
            WH = ctx.guild.get_role(896882687816630293)
            await bot.add_roles(WH)

by using a dictonary mapping of the emoji to the role ID

[devout iris]

How can i make competing status?

[slate swan]

it gets it internally

[slate swan]

!d discord.ActivityType.competing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.competing

A competing activity type.

New in version 1.5.

[vital glacier]

@sick birch any ideas?

[slate swan]

@devout iris for more info check the most recent pin which is mine

[sick birch]

Pycharm has a venv they create for you, there might be a problem with it being installed in the wrong venv

[vital glacier]

even if uninstall discord.py from the interpreter and then reinstalling it with this: pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
doesnt seem to pick it up

[sick birch]

!dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[vital glacier]

oh so using pythin -m pip install would b better?

[slate swan]

its not a status but an activity

[brave flint]

Okkie

[devout iris]

ahhh yess tysm

[slate swan]

👍

[devout iris]

:/

[slate swan]

ik yall dont help with music yt but is there a way for spotify i seen it on their page

[hoary cargo]

reaction roles should be replaced by dropdowns

[slate swan]

look at the most recent pin of the channel it has a gist which has an example

[slate swan]

Ares

[devout iris]

sorry i saw it now lol

[slate swan]

its fine no need to ask for forgiveness 👍

[sick birch]

Don't believe so

[slate swan]

Ok cheers for the advice, I'll take a further look into this tomorrow, tad late now! 😄

i think spotify doesnt like when bots stream music from their platform

[hoary cargo]

i don't really chat here because i already got 2 warnings and who knows how mods gonna ban me so i'm lurking and steal ideas

[slate swan]

just follow the rules

[devout iris]

what are differences between them?

also can i make mobile status?

[hazy oxide]

Invisible is unknown

Offline is offline

[hoary cargo]

i always do, i still don't think i did anything wrong

[slate swan]

not exactly

[slate swan]

theyre the same thing

invisible is when youre online but you want to appear offline, the different is one is intentional

[devout iris]

i see but they are same on bots, right?

[slate swan]

invisible is for bots

offline is for members iirc

[devout iris]

ah alrighty

[slate swan]

hello i invited my bot to a discord server and now it wont reply qwith my commands

nor in the server it was in? its on its not giving errors all commands worked 4 hours ago now it isnt

[devout iris]

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or("i!", "hey bot ", "İ!", "Hey bot  " "göster "),
    intents = discord.Intents.all()
    status = discord.Status.idle,
    activity = discord.activity(
        type = discord.ActivityType.competing, name = "asdsad"
    )
)

where is the bracket error?

[slate swan]

in mention_or

you missed a coma

i invited my bot to a discord server and now it wont reply with my commands, nor in the server it was in? its on its not giving errors all commands worked 4 hours ago now it isn't*

[devout iris]

lmfao

i wasn't coding since a few months ago, a lot of things changed i guess

[slate swan]

im using the bot commands in my server it would work on at 4:20pm its not 5:19pm but now it just isnt doing nothing?

[devout iris]

my old codes are not good working ehehe

[slate swan]

does anyone know?

[devout iris]

ooops fixed, activity ==> Activity

[slate swan]

yup activity lower case is a file

Which the Activity class is inside of

how does it now not work?

so confused

[slate swan]

ah ok

[devout iris]

could you send slash commands docs?

[quaint epoch]

👉 👈 any discord wrapper based around threading

[slate swan]

does anyone know abt the problem im having like i have 0 clue how to fix

[austere vale]

  @commands.command()
  async def gallery(self,ctx):
    embed=nextcord.Embed(color=0xfd9fa1,title="Server Gallery")
    embed.set_image(url="https://imgur.com/a/ZDQGmSp")
    embed.add_field('Icon by @ebon topaz')
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

im trying to make an embed thats basically

(image)
image description
(image)
image description

could someone help me?

[quaint epoch]

embeds can only have one image

[austere vale]

ohh i see

then how would i do that image and description if possible?

[slate swan]

so my bot isnt working anymore for whatever reason and i removed all the code except for one line (help) and obv kept the stuff to make it work and i did the help command >>help and it still wont work

i dont know how but my bot is just completely not working at all it turns on but once you do a command (no errors help works it just doenst work anymore)

the token is right obv it has the permissions to speak just nothings working

out of no where

[deep mirage]

we cant really help if your problem is 'it doenst work'

[pulsar arch]

anyone know how to use a webhook bot to send messages via python?

[slate swan]

well yes but idk how to put it my guy like i said i left to the store with all my commands working came back an hour later now no command reply back as the bot doenst send any messages or give an error

[deep mirage]

show the code

[slate swan]

theres a lot.

ill show you tho i removed all commands except help and it still doenst wokr (token is correct i did reset though)

[deep mirage]

https://mystb.in/

paste there click save copy link

[slate swan]

you want me to paste 1000 lines of code?

[deep mirage]

I mean I dont know how to help you otherwise

[slate swan]

alright

heres this tho

basically what i did was remove any other commands (all other code) and just try to see why it wont send any commands (>>cat >>help etc)

[deep mirage]

might not wanna share your token but aight

[slate swan]

imma reset

[deep mirage]

oh lmao u said in vid aswell

[slate swan]

i do get this though,

but idk if that makes every other who knows 50+ commands not work

im just more confused on how i go to the store come back and nothing works just baffled on it

[deep mirage]

can you paste the code so I can read it through

[slate swan]

yea ill send it rq

ah now i keep getting event loop is closed

oh

[inland torrent]

oml i hate formatting while typing i keep accidentally clicking enter

[slate swan]

wait no thats cuz i reset my token. 💀

alr imma run it

weird imma send code

[inland torrent]

How would i make it so that the bot will wait for a message by a specified user that isnt the user who executed the command? Ive tried this and a few variations but it doesnt seem to work
def check(m): return m.author == self.bot.get_user(userid) and m.channel == ctx.channel try: message = await ctx.send(f"message") response = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30.0) except asyncio.TimeoutError: await message.edit(content = f"message") return
Edit: Found it, just made it use the user id, but the reason it wasnt working before is one was a string and one was an int lol

[slate swan]

there ya go @deep mirage

[deep mirage]

do no commands work?

[slate swan]

none!

nothing works

tried like all commands no errors nothing just simply doesnt work

[pulsar arch]

anyone know how to use a webhook bot to send messages via python?

[deep mirage]

Ive ran your code and it works for me, I got no clue why yours isnt working

maybe it doens thave permissions to speak or doesnt have the right intents enabled

[slate swan]

fr???

ok so. hm well let me try giving it permissions for everything

it has admin in the server i was using it on

then it just stopped

i gave it all perms ill try again

is it even possible to make money from a discord bot?

yea i gave it all perms including admin just it isnt sending the messages?

ive even tried a different bot with the discord portal

[slate swan]

why is this doing this?

havent had this before trying to make a new bot

[slate swan]

@deep mirage i invited it to my server it has admin etc the permissions just still not working?

[fading marlin]

any errors? what dpy version are you using?

[slate swan]

nope!

this is on too just wont send messages

[slate swan]

how do i check that

[fading marlin]

print out discord.__version__

[slate swan]

alr

[fading marlin]

in your code

[slate swan]

btw idk if you seen but at 4:19pm it was working i came back an hour later from the store then it didnt

[fading marlin]

print(discord.__version__)

[slate swan]

oh my bad

[fading marlin]

do you have message content intents enabled?

[slate swan]

yes

[fading marlin]

in your code too?

[slate swan]

well i should since it worekd an hour earlier because i didnt remove anything when i was at the store

[fading marlin]

could you check?

[slate swan]

what am i looking for here

content intents?

[fading marlin]

either discord.Intents.all() or ```py
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

or any other variation of ti

[slate swan]

i do not

[fading marlin]

then that's probably why your bot isn't working

[slate swan]

do i just add intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True into the code

[fading marlin]

yes, and you pass in intents to the corresponding kwarg in your bot constructor

[slate swan]

alr i put tht in

tried my commands again not getting nothin

[fading marlin]

make sure you've passed the intents to the intents kwarg in your bot constructor too

[slate swan]

how do i do that?

[fading marlin]

bot = commands.Bot(..., intents=intents)

!intents perhaps this might help you too

[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]

im using client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>>', case_insensitive=True,)

idk if that matters

[fading marlin]

nope, doesn't matter

[slate swan]

alright

[fading marlin]

although you should generally name your bot instances bot instead of client to prevent confusion

[slate swan]

yeah i know

[fading marlin]

no, don't instantiate 2 different bot classes

[slate swan]

yea i thought so. should i just put intents=intent right after the case_insensitive=True, part

[fading marlin]

sure

[slate swan]

alright

and how would i fix this?

[fading marlin]

you're using intents before defining it

[slate swan]

ah im dumb i had it below it

there we go

[fading marlin]

there ya go. Restart your bot and see if you can use commands again

on a side note, you can pass help_command=None to your bot constructor (same way you did with intents) instead of calling remove_command

[slate swan]

yoo it works thanks Lee! your the guy

[fading marlin]

glad to help :)

[stiff fern]

Anyone know when i add reactions how I can prevent it from bugging out because even if I unreact or react to both it'll display 2 even though theres only 1

[fading marlin]

that's a discord issue?

[stiff fern]

oh alright

[balmy bobcat]

hi, how do I use get_message?

send code

[slate swan]

also this

nvm on that

anyone know about this tho

[visual island]

Which library do you use?

[slate swan]

Whats the best library to use?

[visual island]

Most libraries are good, and which one is the best depends on your personal preference, really

[slate swan]

I just want recommendations if you dont mind

[shrewd apex]

discord.py disnake hikari nextcord

[slate swan]

Tysm

[vital glacier]

anyone online who has a good and in-depth understanding of error handlers and making them work in a custom way?

and that can help me privately until we've figured it out together

[full valley]

question, will trying to add a role to a member if they already have that role raise an error

just or pass it naturally

[sick birch]

There shouldn’t be an error

Though I would check the docs just to be sure

[full valley]

👍

[ivory owl]

is it possible that I can make my bot respond to both prefixed commands and slash commands?

[visual island]

Yes, hybrid commands!

!d discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.hybrid\_command

@discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command(name=..., *, with_app_command=True, **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`HybridCommand`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HybridCommand "discord.ext.commands.HybridCommand").

A hybrid command is one that functions both as a regular [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") and one that is also a [`app_commands.Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command "discord.app_commands.Command").

The callback being attached to the command must be representable as an application command callback. Converters are silently converted into a [`Transformer`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Transformer "discord.app_commands.Transformer") with a [`discord.AppCommandOptionType.string`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.AppCommandOptionType.string "discord.AppCommandOptionType.string") type.

Checks and error handlers are dispatched and called as-if they were commands similar to [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command"). This means that they take [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") as a parameter rather than [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction").

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

New in version 2.0.

[warm tulip]

hello guys why it dont give another guys role?

  @commands.command(name="giverole")
  @commands.has_permissions(manage_roles=True)
  async def giverole(self, ctx: commands.Context, target: discord.Member, atomic, roles):
      await target.send(f"you have get {roles} in a server ")
      await target.add_role()
      await ctx.send(f"{roles} gived to member :white_check_mark:")```

[hazy oxide]

await target.add_roles(roles)

What is that atomic for?

[slate swan]

if you want the role to be added no matter the state of cache iirc

[hazy oxide]

Ya

[slate swan]

oh wait you were asking for that random argument in his params lol

and if it will be passed to the argument in Member.add_roles it should be annotated with bool

[ivory owl]

how do I take my bot offline from heroku?

[hazy oxide]

Turn off the host

[ivory owl]

where

there is something called maintenance mode. but turning it on doesn't do anything

[hazy oxide]

I forgot on which option

On resources

[shrewd apex]

it does it scales down the dyno

[ivory owl]

File "lisa.py", line 5, in <module> bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=(['li ','Li ']),help_command=None) TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

what even

[paper sluice]

you need to pass in intents

intents = discord.Intents.default() # choose the one you want
bot = commands.Bot(..., intents=intents)

[ivory owl]

oh okay

[ivory owl]

do i need to do the same for discord.Client()?

[paper sluice]

yes

[slate swan]

what’s the easiest database to learn for storing user data/info
For example

User ID: 913438773478559754 | Creation Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 14:39:34 UTC | Flag: 0.88 | Flags: Raiding, Failed Verification, ‘5’ Bans

[full valley]

how much info do u need to store

like many members or

[ivory owl]

does anyone have an example of a bot created with hybrid commands?

[slate swan]

a lot of members

[slate swan]

any sql base db would be good

it depends how big the bot gets

for production postgresql is the best and for like a provite or tiny in size bot sqlite would be good, remember to use asynchronous drivers depending on the database

hm

how about a database that responds back fast

[full valley]

okimii, you got experience with pymongo by any chance?

[slate swan]

sql based dbs are pretty fast

[slate swan]

are they web based or can be hosted locally

[slate swan]

nah ive never touched mongo, ive only worked with sql based dbs

[full valley]

fair fair

[slate swan]

by that i mean like is it just a file on my computer or do i need to have a website for it

[slate swan]

sqlite uses files to store data so no need for hosting

[slate swan]

YEY

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[slate swan]

is mongodb any better?

[full valley]

no

go with sql :)

[slate swan]

sql is better imo

[full valley]

im using mongo rn for a project and not enjoying it

[slate swan]

sql's syntax quite basic and can be used with many languages and most companies use sql based dbs like postgresql

https://sqlbolt.com

sqlbolt is where i learned sql, its quite a good course

[placid skiff]

was it possible to get one of the command parameter in a custom checks?

[slate swan]

like a functions params?

[placid skiff]

yeah

!d inspect.getargspec

[unkempt canyon]

inspect.getargspec

inspect.getargspec(func)```
Get the names and default values of a Python function’s parameters. A [named tuple](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-named-tuple) `ArgSpec(args, varargs, keywords, defaults)` is returned. *args* is a list of the parameter names. *varargs* and *keywords* are the names of the `*` and `**` parameters or `None`. *defaults* is a tuple of default argument values or `None` if there are no default arguments; if this tuple has *n* elements, they correspond to the last *n* elements listed in *args*.

Deprecated since version 3.0: Use [`getfullargspec()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.getfullargspec "inspect.getfullargspec") for an updated API that is usually a drop-in replacement, but also correctly handles function annotations and keyword-only parameters.

Alternatively, use [`signature()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect.signature "inspect.signature") and [Signature Object](https://docs.python.org/3/library/inspect.html#inspect-signature-object), which provide a more structured introspection API for callables.

[slate swan]

not sure if theres a better way tho

[placid skiff]

so it should be smth like:

def custom_check():
  def predicate(ctx):
    inspect.getargspec(predicate)

[slate swan]

ive personally never used a custom check but if its a deco you can just use the argument that is used to pass a function

[placid skiff]

custom checks are a little weird, dunno if it works, they're something like this:

from discord.ext.commands import check
def custom_check():
  def predicate(ctx):
    #your stuff
  return check(predicate)

[slate swan]

well here it doesnt seem like the function arg is being used so you probably can put it to work

commands.check just checks what the inner functions boolean value returns and then probably sets the check internally, not sure on how its done

[vocal snow]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.args

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.args

The list of transformed arguments that were passed into the command. If this is accessed during the on_command_error() event then this list could be incomplete.

i've only added this section of code

[vocal snow]

That's not how you use Any

You want Union[Context, ApplicationCommandInteraction]

[slate swan]

did he just try to initiate Any???😭

[vocal snow]

instantiate

[slate swan]

whats the difference?

[placid skiff]

Lmao don't ask me why but the fun fact is that it worked yesterday

[vocal snow]

iniating => starting something, instantiating -> creating an instance of something

[slate swan]

you sure you werent dreaming🛌

[placid skiff]

pretty sure

[slate swan]

well you would need to initiate an object to instantiate it?

[vocal snow]

no

what does iniating an object even mean !!!

[paper sluice]

parenthesising 😳

how tf u forgot nova

[slate swan]

im joking

i have him added

[robust fulcrum]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

yeah

[robust fulcrum]

I confused how should I do time thing

Can you help pls

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import sqlite3, datetime, time
conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
current = datetime.datetime.now()
conn.execute("CREATE TABLE test ( timestamp BIGINT )")
conn.execute("INSERT INTO test VALUES ( ? )", (current.timestamp(),))
conn.commit()

after some time

time.sleep(5)

c = conn.execute("SELECT * FROM test")
timestamp = c.fetchone()[0]
old_time = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp)

print(datetime.datetime.now()-old_time)

[unkempt canyon]

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

0:00:05.045057

[slate swan]

^ this is how you can save timestamps and get the time user was afk for

the code won't work if you just copy paste it so make your own.

[robust fulcrum]

Thanks i just need to know starategy

[shrewd apex]

ic add me to that list as well

the Indian one not the knowledgeable one 😂

[robust fulcrum]

Is there any way to remove microseconds from it?

[slate swan]

!d datetime.datetime.seconds use this to get only seconds

wtf 1 minute

[robust fulcrum]

I tried times.replace(microsecond=0)

But i got error

[slate swan]

!d datetime.timedelta.total_seconds

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timedelta.total\_seconds

timedelta.total_seconds()```
Return the total number of seconds contained in the duration. Equivalent to `td / timedelta(seconds=1)`. For interval units other than seconds, use the division form directly (e.g. `td / timedelta(microseconds=1)`).

Note that for very large time intervals (greater than 270 years on most platforms) this method will lose microsecond accuracy.

New in version 3.2.

[slate swan]

this gives you only seconds

convert it to minutes or anything you want

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[robust fulcrum]

import datetime, asyncio,time

async def main():

I did this and worked

[slate swan]

noice, you didnt need asyncio for this btw

[slate swan]

everyone is indian aaaaaaaaaaaa

am I indian

[slate swan]

hey guys, question
i got a bot that has two files:
file1.py

import discord
import time
import random
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith("$rps"):
            with open("games/" + game + ".py", "r") as f:
                    exec(f.read())

and a second file
rock paper scissors.py

import random
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    random_number = random.randint(1, 3)
    if message.content == "$START":
        await message.channel.send("Rock, Paper, Scissors! (To exit, say $EXIT)")
        await message.channel.send("Type $rock, $paper, or $scissors to play!")
    if message.content == "$rock":
        if random_number == 1:
            await message.channel.send("I chose rock, it's a tie!")
#blah blah blah more code stuff

when i launch the game with $rps, it only responds to the commands in rock paper scissors.py and i don't know how to stop running rock paper scissors.py without stopping file1.py ...
is there a way to stop it or something?

[vocal snow]

use a listener instead of an event

nvm Client doesn't have it

[slate swan]

rip

[vocal snow]

instead of manually parsing commands like this I would recommend using the commands ext instead

[slate swan]

well i kinda have 500 lines of code so unless it's necessary i don't think i can do it
(but ofc it it'll make it work i will)

the thing is, using commands.ext will reduce the amount of messy and 🍝 code

import discord

c = discord.Client()

@c.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith("!ping")
        await message.reply("pong")
``` ```py
from discord.ext import commands

b = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@b.command(name="ping")
async def ping(ctx):
  await ctx.send("pong")
``` you can decide what looks cleaner and easier

[vocal snow]

try doing what it says

[wanton cipher]

Hello, I was wondering, has anyone messed with the select menus? I need some help... Is there a way I can not have the menu die after a certain amount of time?

Is there a time out or something?

[vocal snow]

the default timeout is 180 sec

!d discord.ui.View

[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.

[vocal snow]

set the timeout to None

[slate swan]

# if subclassing
class MySelectView(ui.View):
     def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

#if not subclassing

view = ui.View(timeout=None)

[vocal snow]

so much effort ashley 🙏

[slate swan]

and you still ignore my greetings, fml

[wanton cipher]

OH, it's the view, ight, thank you @slate swan and @vocal snow :)

[fallow girder]

it still doesn't work, how do we reinstall the pip?

[royal oar]

Quick yes or no.
Can Cog names have aliases?
If not is there anyway for the help command to use different languages for it?

[hazy oxide]

check your pip version

[fallow girder]

do you know the command to see the version?

[hazy oxide]

pip --version

[vocal snow]

Just to clarify, you want to create aliases for the helpcommand?

[royal oar]

No i mean Cog names

like say the catergory

where commands are stored

like:

[vocal snow]

Why would you need that?

[royal oar]

Im making my bot Bilingual

multiple languages

[vocal snow]

Yes, but where would the cog aliases be used?

Are you going to access them in a custom help command?

[royal oar]

!help <catergory>

And yes

[dusky pine]

yes because ignoring messages are a serious federal offense

[slate swan]

Hunter already know that I live in india

[vocal snow]

I don't think there's built-in support for this. You can define an 'aliases' attribute in the cog and then use it in a custom help command though

[royal oar]

Hmm mk then, thank you

[slate swan]

        meow = int(joingwbutton.joinwbutton.label)
        meow -= 1
        joingwbutton.joinwbutton.label = str(meow)```
it tells me i cant call a function but im just calling a param of it that i need to change which is the label

[shrewd apex]

not for that for hun bun

i got goosebumps saying that

[slate swan]

beware Hunter
since that name is only allowed till okimii

[wanton cipher]

Probably a stupid question, but can you get the message a view is attached to in the view object? (sub classing)

For context, I want to basically remove the view to remove itself when it times out

[slate swan]

yeah, do interaction.message it'll return a Message obj

where interaction is an instance of Interaction

[slate swan]

won't be possible to do that within the view

[wanton cipher]

damn, ight thanks

[wanton cipher]

I mean, I got it to work, but it's very stupid and work-around-y

[paper sluice]

why not? just remove it from self.message (assuming atleast one interaction is done)

[wanton cipher]

class VoteView(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, message: disnake.Message, **options):
        self.message = message
        super().__init__(**options)

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
        print("OMFG IT HAPPENED, THE VIEW IS DEAD!!!")
        await self.message.edit(view=None)


msg: disnake.Message = await inter.channel.send(content="Huh, what's going on?")
view = VoteView(msg)
await msg.edit(view=view)

[hardy yoke]

class VoteView(disnake.ui.View):
  message: disnake.Message

  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__(timeout=60)

  async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
    # times out after 60 seconds
    self.stop()  # stops buttons from being active
    await self.message.edit(view=None)  # removes buttons from message

view = VoteView()
view.message = await inter.channel.send(content="etc etc", view=view)```

This would work fine, bit neater

[slate swan]

ew

[wanton cipher]

how and where is it getting the message though?

and funny enough, just wrote something like that

[slate swan]

view.message = ...

[wanton cipher]

...

oh

[slate swan]

that's how it's getting the message what

since send returns a Message obj

[wanton cipher]

oh yeah

OH

[quartz reef]

regarding music bots, what's exactly the autoplay mode? It tells the bot to fetch tracks from some history after the queue is empty?

[vocal snow]

I believe autoplay is simply the existence of a queue feature

[slate swan]

What’s the most accurate way to find a user’s account creation date/time down to the millisecond

[vocal snow]

!d discord.User.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.created\_at

property created_at```
Returns the user’s creation time in UTC.

This is when the user’s Discord account was created.

[vocal snow]

That's what the api gives, so it should be the most accurate

[slate swan]

code

[robust fulcrum]

Anyway i fixes

[slate swan]

nice

[robust fulcrum]

It working

[dawn shard]

try ctx.message.add_reaction

[slate swan]

no

its an interaction, not an context

the message you send on discord is not a discord.Message, its a webhook here which doesnt have a add_reaction method

that depends on the library you're using

[visual island]

You miss typed comma as underscore

in on_reaction_add function parameter

[robust fulcrum]

@slate swan how to fix this?

[livid hedge]

hello, which is the "best" way to code discord components? Surfing through the internet I found many libraries. Which one is the best? Talking about code flow and efficiency it seems to be "from discord import Button"

[slate swan]

supposed to be strftime

what you trying to do

[visual island]

strptime is also a thing

[livid hedge]

Do I have to use Rapptz version?

[livid hedge]

.

[slate swan]

You literally asked 2 minutes ago. discord.py is the go to, but find what you prefer, not what people say.

[slate swan]

maybe they used strptime on datetime module instead of datetime.datetime object then

[slate swan]

rapptz version?

[slate swan]

discord.py's master branch (version 2.0), 3rd party libraries are no longer maintained are they mess with discord.py internals which is bad.

[livid hedge]

perfect

[robust fulcrum]

But why mine not working?

[slate swan]

show code..

[robust fulcrum]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    userid = message.author.id
    connection = bot.connection
    cursor = await connection.cursor()

        nowtime = datetime.datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0)
        pr = nowtime-oldtime
        t = datetime.strptime(pr,"%H:%M:%S")
        delta = timedelta(hours=t.hour, minutes=t.minute, seconds=t.second)
        ans = humanize.naturaldelta(delta)
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{message.author}\nAFk removed!", description=f"I have removed your AFK\n you were afk for {ans} ",color=discord.Color.green())
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=message.author.display_avatar.url)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
    await bot.process_commands(message)

Hmm

[visual island]

should be datetime.datetime.strptime()

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[slate swan]

you can also pr.strptime directly no its a timedelta

i doubt if even datetime.datetime.strptime would work, timedelta's cannot be formatted using that method

[gusty shard]

can i create a embed without title and desc?

just fields

[placid skiff]

Nope, but you can use an invisible character to do that

[slate swan]

wot

[visual island]

Yeah sure

[placid skiff]

oh nvm i misunderstood the question lmao

[robust fulcrum]

I have one problem in comamnd
When i type >afk playing game
My bot only takes first word as reason playing
How can I do my bot takes full line?

[slate swan]

async def command(ctx,*, argument):
  ...

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

Ty

[robust fulcrum]

Btw i saw that sirlancebot when i type wrong name of comand it suggests me did you mean <command name>?
How can I make that?

[placid skiff]

lmao word similarity and machine learning

[robust fulcrum]

How tho?

[slate swan]

use fuzzywuzzy

!pip fuzzywuzzy

[unkempt canyon]

fuzzywuzzy v0.18.0

Fuzzy string matching in python

[slate swan]

difflib may work too

[visual island]

difflib works quite well yeah

[robust fulcrum]

Very hard 🥵

[visual island]

it's not hard

[robust fulcrum]

Its hard 🔥

[visual island]

just combine every command name and aliases and then compare the input with difflib.get_close_matches()

[robust fulcrum]

I Mena that when i use comamnd it gets name error how would it know it?

[slate swan]

you would be utilising the on_command_error event, check if the instance of exception was commands.CommandNotFound, and then do the string comparison task inside that

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoked_with gives you the command name which was used

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoked\_with

The command name that triggered this invocation. Useful for finding out which alias called the command.

[slate swan]

note that ctx.command would be None here

[robust fulcrum]

How can I use this command invoked with

[visual island]

use it like a normal attribute

[robust fulcrum]

I never used such

Any short example please?

[visual island]

@bot.listen("on_command_error")
async def error_handler(ctx, error):
    invoked_with = ctx.invoked_with
    matches = difflib.get_close_matches(invoked_with, command_names_and_aliases) 
``` easy, right?

[robust fulcrum]

@visual island

Can I ask

How can I get list of all comand of my bot?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

@discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type)```
A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

This differs from [`cooldown()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown "discord.ext.commands.cooldown") in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type [`discord.Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") and must return a [`Cooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Cooldown "discord.app_commands.Cooldown") or `None`. If `None` is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[shrewd apex]

linter shows no such attribute either

i tried in the label for textinput but there seems to be a size limit

[paper sluice]

oh, ok hold on

[shrewd apex]

sure np

[paper sluice]

can you even add text to modals lol

[shrewd apex]

idk that's why i am asking ;-;

is there any roundabout way

what if i make another textinput modal and the write the text there🤣

[paper sluice]

idk, i have never used modals before

text input seems like the only way to add stuff to modals

[shell wing]

v2 cogs example ?

[shell wing]

thanks

[shell wing]

it shows error in cogs

like it says

[paper sluice]

thats just an example, you are not supposed to copy paste it as it is

cogs is an iterable which contains the the files which contain your cogs

[shell wing]

ik that my folder is named as cogs

[paper sluice]

do os.listdir('cogs') then remove the .py from the name of the cogs before loading

[shell wing]

so i made the cog outside the folder i.e. in the same directory with the main.py
and this
it wont load...

[slate swan]

use brain

dont you think that it will overwrite the setup_hook only when the function is ran

how can i get a random element from that list?

[slate swan]

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[slate swan]

nice logic btw

just check with if final[0] == final[1] and final[0] == final[2]

Hey everyone, I have a discord bot I'm working on that tells people how much time they've spent in each voice chat, does anyone know how to get the name of a voice chat using the ID for the voice chat?

[dull terrace]

graphed retention across the 318 players who have played my discord bot game now... 50 depth is 15mins gameplay. the graph keeps getting worse and worse

[torn sail]

you can use bot.get_channel(<id>) for the channel object and then use .name

Preparing wheel metadata ... error

[sick birch]

Bound to happen eventually, unfortunately

Hard to keep any player retention for long with any game, really

[slate swan]

replit?

[dull terrace]

most mobile games have an aim of around 10% for day 7 retention i believe

assuming one play session a day i've got like 0.4%

[velvet compass]

A KeyError would mean that a key is not present in a dictionary

[sour basalt]

Preparing wheel metadata ... error ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

[dull terrace]

are you sure the key is a string?

[sour basalt]

inbstalling discord 2.0

[velvet compass]

Have a try/except block to handle missing keys

Either that user id is not present in user_data or card is not a valid key for the data in user_data[userr_id]

[slate swan]

brad

[velvet compass]

Alrighty, thats a different user id

So '941750986551205930' is not present

[dull terrace]

[velvet compass]

Either add it, or handle when a key is missing

[slate swan]

am I just invisible or everybody ignores me on purpose here

[slate swan]

who u

show code

[velvet compass]

Add a check if the user id is in the user data dictionary, and if it is not, add it

A try/except block

Line 117

[slate swan]

sorry

[velvet compass]

try:
    card_num = str(user_data[str(userr.id)]["card"])
except KeyError:
    card_num = 0
    print("User not present in 'user_data'.")

Something like that could work

[slate swan]

you could you just use get?

[velvet compass]

Since its a json object its a bit harder to try and add to it if there is no user already present

[velvet compass]

For sure

But I'm not a good programmer

[slate swan]

imagine capping

[velvet compass]

Try it and let me know

Yes

Because you have only one user in the json file you are checking

What do you think you should do

Thats a great idea

You tell me

You know that a json file can contain multiple entries right?

For sure, you will have to read and write to the json file

And you could check if a user id is present in the user data file, and if it is not, write to the file. But something like this can get messy very fast, and is why databases are used

Then this is a great chance to learn a bit about it

sqlite3 comes with python

I have used it once for a project of mine

I haven't made another project needing it

I also don't do bots all the time

[sick birch]

Learn the basics of sqlite3, then if you're using it in tandem with a discord bot, use aiosqlite. If you already know sqlite3, migrating to aiosqlite should be a cake walk

[velvet compass]

The problem is reading and writing to the json file correctly

Does every member have their own card?

Oh

Yeah you are going to need every member

How else would it work?

[sick birch]

Which follows a relatively simple pattern:

1. load the contents of your JSON file into an in-memory python dictionary

with open("filename.json", "r") as f:
  data = json.load(f)

2. Make any changes

data[...] = ...
data[...] = ...
data[...] = ...

3. Save the dict back into the JSON file:

with open("filename.json", "w") as f:
  json.dump(f, data, indents=4)

[sour basalt]

https://mystb.in/ChartRecallRonald.sql

how fix this i trying instasll discord py 2.0

[sick birch]

You asked how to read/write into a JSON file?

[slate swan]

this command is too error-prone with KeyError exceptions

[sick birch]

JSON-as-a-db will usually always look like this

[velvet compass]

You need to add:
Step 1: a check if the user id is present in the json file
Step 2: if it is not present, create an entry, serialize it, write it out to the file
Step 3: if it is present, read the data and display it
What I wrote earlier could be used as a check:

try:
    check = user_data[str(userr.id)]
except KeyError:
      # add step 2 from above
# step 3 goes on

[sick birch]

Another way:

if user_data.get(str(userr.id)):
  # it exists
else:
  # it doesn't

[velvet compass]

Thats the better way ^

[sick birch]

Both are completely valid, though I suspect in your case it would end up looking like spaghetti code regardless

So perhaps a code refactoring is in order?

[slate swan]

i'd suggest migrating to some sql based database like sqlite3 instead.

a "SELECT xp, level FROM table WHERE user_id = .."
looks much cleaner than ```py
xp = data[str(ctx.guild.id)][str(userr.id)]["xp"]
lvl = data[str(ctx.guild.id)][str(userr.id)]["level"]

[sick birch]

Even better if you can throw an ORM in 😄

How to add and remove emojies in a server with discordpy?

!d discord.Guild.delete_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.delete\_emoji

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

Deletes the custom [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji") from the guild.

You must have [`manage_emojis`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_emojis "discord.Permissions.manage_emojis") permission to do this.

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

it isnt even a db lmao

because it can store data doesnt mean its a db but people do it 😔

i'll be renaming the include deco

the heck is SlashContext, and you should rename include to register or something

[slate swan]

a slash command context ez..

[slate swan]

you mean an interaction🧍

[slate swan]

there's already like 4 class with interaction in hikari natively

i dont want it to sound anything similar

because this class will have an interaction property already

interaction.interaction is weird

Well your giving me pycord vibes so get away from me

it was pycord or some third party lib iirc it was discord_slash or something

in pycord its ApplicationContext

ands its useless

shhhhhhhh

because it just wraps the interaction object

maybe rename SlashContext to InteractionContext

that won't be specific to slash commands then

there's user commands and message commands too

slash arent the only app commands

i know

even better

idk if its just me but i read it like its the Context of the Interaction

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i need to read an article so name it whatever

[winter gull]

What are the common ways to make our bot efficient and faster?

[slate swan]

avoid useless requests, blocking code and practices which use less memory

strict typehinting, use mypy or something

mypyc can give it a performance boost

obvious difference

alright thanks!!

bot.loop.create_task(<function>)

does this will create a loop for the function when the bot gets online (i have put it in on_ready() event ) or i have to put a while True in <funciton> ?

[slate swan]

it will, but what version of dpy you are on?

you can usually just use bot.start() instead of bot.run() if you wanna do async stuff first

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop exists btw

[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]

lemme explain you my problem

I have a mysql database, and i tried connecting to it while running the bot, it worked perfectly and i can get data and display in discord. Tho when the db updates, it does not fetch the updated value, rather it fetch the old value

[slate swan]

dont' use sudo

[slate swan]

do you commit the data after writing?

[winter gull]

i am using pycord for thread support

[slate swan]

discord.py supports thread too.

[winter gull]

it does?

[slate swan]

yes the master branch

it's usable and available to install

[winter gull]

uhh its managed by a java plugin, the database

[slate swan]

i mean do you commit in the code?

[winter gull]

oh i have written most of my code in pycord now

[winter gull]

like after periodically?

[slate swan]

nope, after writing data

[winter gull]

it just writes constantly, the purpose of db is to store stats of people in a kitpvp server

so like idk when the data is written

as for now i came up w a very bad solution

[slate swan]

use a discord.ext.tasks Task then

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds=60)
async def foo():
    # do your stuff
    ...

foo.start()

this will execute the foo function in every 60 seconds

[winter gull]

alright, thankyou!!

[winter gull]

How can I call a function whenever i stop the code or turn off the bot?

[slate swan]

place it after bot.run()

it will get executed when you close the bot using ctrl+c in your terminal

[winter gull]

oh alrightt

[slate swan]

what's your device/server and python version

if you're using replit just create another repl

if you're on a debian based distro ```bash
$sudo apt install libffi-dev

Looks like for some reason interaction.guild is None, maybe because it's not cached?

I'm trying to set up the message content intent on disnake but I can't figure out through the docs how to enable it in the code
I tried this and also just creating intents and then settings it after but I can't seem to see it explained how to do it

intents = disnake.Intents(message_content=True)
client = disnake.Client(intents=intents)

Nevermind I figured it out
Instead of this

intents = disnake.Intents()
intents.message_content = True
client = disnake.Client(intents=intents)

You have to have this...

intents = disnake.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = disnake.Client(intents=intents)

[slate swan]

im pretty sure message_content isnt a thing in disnake

!d disnake.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Intents.message\_content

Whether messages will have access to message content.

This applies to the following fields on Message instances...

[flint widget]

Hmm it seemed to work when I just enabled it now 🤔

[slate swan]

seems like it is implemented

[flint widget]

ah

Yeah I've not used it in ages so just trying to get to grips with it

[slate swan]

same

[flint widget]

The documentation on setting it up isn't great but maybe it's just been added in

[slate swan]

yeah you would need to go through a class's attribute etc

[robust fulcrum]

Will it be like this
command_list = bot.commands

[slate swan]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

Do it return. List or tuple

[slate swan]

typing.Set[commands.Command]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.commands

property commands```
A unique set of commands without aliases that are registered.

[slate swan]

Neither, it's a set

[robust fulcrum]

So what do it return?

[slate swan]

    cursor.execute(f"SELECT user_id FROM eco WHERE user_id = {author.id}")
NameError: name 'author' is not defined```

confused

[robust fulcrum]

It's message.author.id

[slate swan]

no it's cursor.exec

OH ok thanks

[robust fulcrum]

Try once

[slate swan]

ok i have a new one

    if message.author.client:
AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'client'```

[dusky pine]

A set of the commands.Command objects

do you know your datatypes, bro?

!d set

[unkempt canyon]

set

class set([iterable])``````py

class frozenset([iterable])```
Return a new set or frozenset object whose elements are taken from *iterable*. The elements of a set must be [hashable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-hashable). To represent sets of sets, the inner sets must be [`frozenset`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#frozenset "frozenset") objects. If *iterable* is not specified, a new empty set is returned.

Sets can be created by several means:

• Use a comma-separated list of elements within braces: `{'jack', 'sjoerd'}`

• Use a set comprehension: `{c for c in 'abracadabra' if c not in 'abc'}`

• Use the type constructor: `set()`, `set('foobar')`, `set(['a', 'b', 'foo'])`...

Similar names: label.set

Can you help

Replit is always adding humanize package again and again even i have installed and my bot is starts slow

[smoky cedar]

How would I add discord py 2.0 to a requirements file?

[dusky pine]

That's definitely a (new) dependency from an updated version of a package

[slate swan]

a set

[smoky cedar]

when is 2.0 gonna officially release for d.py lol

[slate swan]

git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[slate swan]

there's no ETA, but the development is quite fast and they are catching up with the lastest Discord API features so maybe soon?

[worthy mortar]

Hey guys
I am trying to import the library requests to grab some data from an api and then print that data through my py discord bot. However, when i try to import requests I get an error on repl saying: "Replit: Package operation failed."

Any solutions?

[shrewd apex]

poetry add requests

[worthy mortar]

I still get a type error

it seems to be only be an issue withimport requests too
importing json and other libraries is fine

[slate swan]

the line asher told is a shell command you need to do in the terminal

not in your py file.

[worthy mortar]

yes i know, and i still get an error

[slate swan]

what's the exact error

[rain olive]

use aiohttp instead, if in an async context eg. almost every discord bot lib ever

[worthy mortar]

i created a new repl file and deleted some env files. now i am able to import requests, weird. anyway, thanks for the help all

[slate swan]

Totally a replit issue.

[elfin moon]

Hi, I'm trying to disable buttons in a view. I have this simple code and it works but it just doesn't disable the buttons which I am telling it to do.

class Confirmation(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label='Accept', style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
    async def accept(self, interaction_: discord.Interaction, button):
        if interaction_.user.id != enemyplayer.id:
            await interaction_.response.send_message('This is not for you.')
            return
        nonlocal accepted
        nonlocal buttonPressed
        accepted = True
        buttonPressed = True
        self.accept.disabled = True
        self.decline.disabled = True
        await interaction_.response.defer()

    @discord.ui.button(label='Decline', style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def decline(self, interaction_: discord.Interaction, button):
        if interaction_.user.id != enemyplayer.id:
            await interaction_.response.send_message('This is not for you.')
            return
        nonlocal buttonPressed
        buttonPressed = True
        self.accept.disabled = True
        self.decline.disabled = True
        await interaction_.response.defer()

[slate swan]

  view = hunt()

  await ctx.send(embed=random.choice(lis23),view=hunt())
``` embed and the view is not sent

[torn sail]

You need to edit the message with the updated view

[elfin moon]

oh ok

like await (await interaction.original_message()).edit(view=self)?

[rain olive]

try it

[elfin moon]

i did

it works

Thanks

[torn sail]

I think user.icon would be None but lemme check

*user.avatar

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Asset "discord.Asset") for the avatar the user has.

If the user does not have a traditional avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar "discord.User.display_avatar").

[slate swan]

Any help?

No error btw

[alpine pewter]

Hey pplz, I’m having a slight problem with my bot, if someone can help. I can’t provide the code right now but I figured to ask to narrow it down.

I have a large @tasks.loop and every time it competes, the bot shuts down and restarts. There’s no error, it just restarts. Does anyone know what the issue might if they had it before? Will post the code later when I can

[vocal snow]

some blocking code in the loop possibly

[paper sluice]

what is hunt?

[slate swan]

A command

[paper sluice]

well, you can't send a command in view

you can only send an instance of discord.ui.View

[slate swan]

Oh btw
How can I make the button disabled for the user who clicked it

only for the user who clicked it
Other users can still interact with it

[paper sluice]

I don't think discord's api supports that

you can send a message to the person to not click it, but you can't disable it for them and not for others

[slate swan]

how can i fix this?

[sturdy barn]

bg1.save(f"Temp_{user.id}.png")
await ctx.send(file=discord.File(f"Temp_{user.id}.png"))
os.remove(f"Temp_{user.id}.png")

and the error is:
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

Fun part...image is getting saved after the ctx part executes I guess which raises an error like above
Like I can see after the error rises, the image appears on the drive

[robust fulcrum]

It's doing again and again and my bot starts slow
How to fix it?

[dusky pine]

Deal with it :P

Or just buy a VPS, whichever works

[robust fulcrum]

It's annoying

[slate swan]

you cant change it

[robust fulcrum]

Replit ded today

It's not opening

[slate swan]

or just try to poetry add

[hazy oxide]

avatar.url

[slate swan]

what library?

you need to respond to interactions within 3 seconds, unless you defer it

[sturdy barn]

using discord.py
how can I defer it?

[robust fulcrum]

Refer or defer?

[slate swan]

Interaction.response.defer() it was iirc

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[slate swan]

yes

[sturdy barn]

how do I implement it?

[robust fulcrum]

It's not gave the commands in cogs

[slate swan]

interaction.response.defer()

[slate swan]

it does.

[robust fulcrum]

No

I have proof

[dusky pine]

yes you may approach the bench

[warped mirage]

Guys for discord.py 2.0 can you use txt file for storing

[dusky pine]

storing what? i'm getting worried 😳

[warped mirage]

Anything , data

[dusky pine]

user data?

like coins, stats, etc?

[slate swan]

it didn't work

[warped mirage]

Like anything , for example storing a prize name then loading it

[paper sluice]

.txt is not great for storing data, depending on the size you might want to use a .json or a database

[slate swan]

txt files arent meant to store data that isnt static

[dusky pine]

That's not exclusive to d.py

You can

[slate swan]

how can i fix this?

[slate swan]

im pretty sure that happens because you havent loaded your cogs, hence why the commands arent registered

[robust fulcrum]

Oh

[warped mirage]

Ye dpy I’m talking about tho

[robust fulcrum]

Means after loading cogs?

[slate swan]

check it out after you loaded them yes

[robust fulcrum]

Thanks

[dusky pine]

Dude you can always use txt files, you don't even need dpy to use them

it's not like d.py is the one providing file I/O support

[slate swan]

i wonder why people use txt and json files as dbs over sqlite😔

[slate swan]

isnt that dumb how you are loading the cogs later and expecting the commands to get added first

[slate swan]

what does that method do?

why are you guys so aggressive dayum😭

feisty today

!d discord.Asset

[slate swan]

ease of use

[warped mirage]

Ik but can I use it for dpy tho

[slate swan]

sqlites only challage is learning sql lmao

[dusky pine]

yes you can, yes you can

[slate swan]

yes, ofc should you? no.

Hi, I'm going to make a self role system using buttons. But I'm not sure how to start. This is gonna be a public bot, so I need some sort of command to create them, but I don't know how to generate buttons from the data.

[slate swan]

Yeah and thats a lot more annoying that printing a line to a text file

For small amounts of data text files are fine

[dusky pine]

dpy does NOT remove the ability to read/write files

[slate swan]

well if youre going to store small amounts of data why not have variables?

^

[slate swan]

set the image size

[slate swan]

you can Member.avatar.with_size(new size here) in 2.0

aightt

!d discord.Asset.with_size

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.with\_size

with_size(size, /)```
Returns a new asset with the specified size.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[slate swan]

thanks !

[slate swan]

Because as soon as you close the program all of that data gets lost

[slate swan]

but its small data👀

[dusky pine]

they want persistent small data

[slate swan]

Json is best for that tbh

[dusky pine]

what kind of data are you storing?

[slate swan]

use a discord message as a database then

send a message with newline for each data

200iq

[dusky pine]

Hey nice idea bro

[shrewd apex]

...

[slate swan]

json data can be converted to a dict which is better than having stringafied data

fetch the message, and read its content each time

[dusky pine]

Just hope swas.py or Lucas doesn't see this

[shrewd apex]

thats like the best stuff i have heard since morning

[slate swan]

asher: Hold my dump channel

[shrewd apex]

lmao

[slate swan]

Put all of your code into registry keys

Then read it at runtime

[slate swan]

i use a category as a table and text channels as columns and messages as rows🧍

[dusky pine]

hack into Discord and store your data into their database

[slate swan]

imagine you can use sql injection

🥴

[dusky pine]

😈

[slate swan]

Sql inject into your program to build the database

that would be funny if discord doesnt have sanitary inputs

[dusky pine]

plot twist: discord uses mongo

[slate swan]

The cost of the security will mean there will be some weak spots somewhere. 😄

better over getting your tables dropped

if all my tables drop my team will drop me 😨

[shrewd apex]

are the teams out?

[slate swan]

no

I havent got on to discord with sql yet, will have to look at picking up soon lol

[dusky pine]

DROP DATABASE yes

[slate swan]

like using sql with a bot or using sql to execute code and connecting to the api and gateway with an sql based client🧍

[slate swan]

they would have been fked up (no wait they already are) if they used that
they use scylla a nosql db

bot sorry, hahaha just randomly coming into a conversation half way lol

lollll

[dusky pine]

what was that random 🧍 for
