Why doesn't \t work

[wary yew]

what doesn't seem to work

[dawn dirge]

look at the second screenshot

there is a square

instead of a space

[wary yew]

\t?

[dawn dirge]

well yeah look at the first screenshot or the code

tab

\t

[wary yew]

well, yeah???

that's why it's a square

it works as you designed it to work

tab is not just a fancy space

it's tab

if you want space there - put space there

[dawn dirge]

what

no

thats borinbg

look at this

one sec

[oak scarab]

hm

weird.

!e
print("\t")

[dawn sequoia]

:warning: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[oak scarab]

works just fine.

[wary yew]

well, yeah, on discord

[wary yew]

whatever the output window is here doesn't perceive tab as that

[wary yew]

tab has a unicode value that the renderer doesn't see

[wary yew]

that's the command prompt

[oak scarab]

yea

[wary yew]

i don't know what you're using in the second thing as a renderer

[dawn dirge]

there is no squares or wtv

[wary yew]

but it doesn't know have the unicode for tab as a displayable character

[wary yew]

cool

[wary yew]

show me the thing you render this in

[molten sonnet]

What is the thing on the right? Like, is it some gui? Terminal? What exactly?

[dawn dirge]

idk why the space isnt even like the second value on the same x

coordinate

or smt

[dawn dirge]

wdym you mean my ide?

[gritty hollow]

The problem is your text renderer, they probably have some way of spacing text that isn't \t

[wary yew]

^^^

[dawn dirge]

its a pygame window

[wary yew]

yes, it doesn't know Tab

change it for space and show the PyGame window

[molten sonnet]

Then it probably has problems with tabs. It may be a good idea to report is as issue (bug) in their repo

[wary yew]

^^^

thanks Nicky

[wary yew]

change it to spaces for now.

and show us

[dawn dirge]

alr

[dawn dirge]

well yeah my main code has that

[wary yew]

anyways, PyGame window Font doesn't know what the visual for tab is, so it displays a square

any program that doesn't have a visual for a given symbol does that

𓂺, my favourite unicode symbol, doesn't show on discord

[dawn dirge]

what is it?

𓂺𓂺𓂺

[wary yew]

phallus with emission

it's an old ancient egyptian letter

[molten sonnet]

It does. It's your system that doesn't know this Unicode probably

[wary yew]

you see it??

😳

Sending images in embeds using discord.py

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb ('read binary') mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename must not contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.
