Im tryna make a discord bot

and pip and python is being recognized

but i have python in my vsc

its something on my pc

because my friend has the same code on a different bot and it is working

I tried venv and venv works but then it just messes up the whole code

it was legit working 2 days ago

then a popup that sad

"would you like to update pip or python or discord.py (it was one of the three) " and i was stressed out so i just put yes and now its broken

[novel copper]

what editor are you using ?

[unkempt rain]

idk how to check that lol

i came back to python after a year and a half

[novel copper]

what is the applicaion you are using to use python

[unkempt rain]

oh

vsc

[novel copper]

the reason i ask is that i know pycharm not VSC sorry

[inland flint]

what operating system do you have installed?

[unkempt rain]

windows 10

[inland flint]

okay, open your terminal and type in this command:
py --version

afterwards, run this command:
py -m pip --version

[unkempt rain]

ok

[inland flint]

what in the fuck...

[unkempt rain]

yeah

idk what the fuck i did

[inland flint]

okay uh... try uninstalling python

[unkempt rain]

ok

like

all of them?

i got 2 or 3

[inland flint]

all of em, definitely. There's conflicting stuff going on with your path...

[unkempt rain]

alright

[unkempt rain]

oh yeah i seen people telling me about path but i never really knew how to use it

ok its uninstalled

now what

do i reinstall it?

[inland flint]

yes try reinstalling the version of python that you need for your project

[unkempt rain]

ok

ok

its done

[inland flint]

so basically, your path is like a "shortcut". Usually in a shell, you need to be specific with a command. What a path does it says "using these shortcuts, try to find a matching command". If you have multiple versions of a program installed and on your path, it could present issues.

[unkempt rain]

alright

what do i do now

i reinstalled 3.11.1

u there @inland flint ?

[inland flint]

yes

hi

okay, now try those two commands that I sent again

[unkempt rain]

its doing the same thing

ooh

its using python 313

i have 311

theres not even a 313 in the folder it lists

😭

@inland flint

u there

[novel copper]

didn't you say that you uninstalled it

[unkempt rain]

yes

it says

Unable to create process using 'C:\Users\Caleb\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe -m pip --version': The system cannot find the file specified.

and i dont even have python 313 installed

[novel copper]

did you download a new python or not

[unkempt rain]

yes

3.11.1

[novel copper]

did you move it to that folder? if you didn't not 100% sure but that might fix it

[unkempt rain]

wym

@inland flint

u there

????

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.

[unkempt rain]

i did that

it wont work

[inland bear]

tried using py?

i dont even have 313

its something with my path

i fucked up my path

[inland bear]

Is Python313 on it?

[unkempt rain]

no

it says 312

i dont even have 312 either

[inland bear]

You may need to restart your cmd after modifying it

[inland bear]

What does py -0p do?

[unkempt rain]

but theres legit 1 file

311

[inland bear]

Unset the python env var

Also click the edit button on PATH and share a screenshot

[wheat quarry]

God, I hate windows

Imagine having to open a GUI to edit PATH

Insane

[unkempt rain]

idk what that means

i havent coded python in a year and a half

[mighty torrent]

"easier" and "necessary" are two different things

you might want to reset your cohere token, cause it's public now, btw

[unkempt rain]

wheres a cohere token

[wheat quarry]

Lol

[unkempt rain]

whats a cohere token

bro

[night pike]

you should really reset that

[unkempt rain]

idk how to do that

brooo

[wheat quarry]

https://cohere.com/

[unkempt rain]

oh

idc about cohere

[wheat quarry]

Go to dashboard or something

[unkempt rain]

[wheat quarry]

If you have premium subscription or something, someone can DDoS with your token and bankrupt you

[unkempt rain]

oh

[wheat quarry]

Lol

[unkempt rain]

how do i do that

[inland bear]

Does pythons 3.12 and 3.13 show up in Apps?

[inland bear]

Uninstall them.

[unkempt rain]

lmao

[inland bear]

And I meant Settings > Apps

[wheat quarry]

@inland bear

[inland bear]

press ok

[wheat quarry]

Why do you have so many versions installed?

[unkempt rain]

i really dont know lmao

my friend was tryna help me

he clearly didnt know a lot

[inland bear]

They don't. The question you should ask is "why did you uninstall so many python versions without the uninstaller?"

[unkempt rain]

they told me to do that

[inland bear]

rerun the installers and choose to repair installation, then you can properly uninstall it.

[unkempt rain]

alright

[inland flint]

hi im back, sorry i had to do some work

[unkempt rain]

unalive joy is helping me rn

[inland bear]

Are you using dotenv?

[unkempt rain]

no

[inland bear]

your discord token is bad.

[unkempt rain]

wym?

thats the right discord token

[inland bear]

Aparently not.

[unkempt rain]

i just got it

it has to be

[inland bear]

any spaces in your string?

[unkempt rain]

nope

TOKEN = "my token"

[inland bear]

Did you copy the whole token?

[unkempt rain]

yes

theres no errors

except for that when i run it

and the script should be working cus i used it yesterday

until i updated something today

[inland bear]

Try switching to using dotenv

[unkempt rain]

aight

[inland bear]

import os

import dotenv
dotenv.load_dotenv()

TOKEN = os.environ["TOKEN"]

!pip python-dotenv

[vocal maple]

python-dotenv v1.1.0

Read key-value pairs from a .env file and set them as environment variables

[inland bear]

You also need to create a file named .env ```properties
TOKEN=<your token here>

[unkempt rain]

i did

[inland bear]

Did you save?

[unkempt rain]

yes

wait

nvm

erm

[vocal maple]

Please react with ✅ to upload your file(s) to our paste bin, which is more accessible for some users.

[unkempt rain]

more errors happened

ruh roh

[inland bear]

Get a new token. It may have been invalidated.

[unkempt rain]

alright

lemme reset my pass

ok

i got a new token

put it in dotenv

and it still doin this

[vocal maple]

Please react with ✅ to upload your file(s) to our paste bin, which is more accessible for some users.

[inland bear]

Does your token have quotes in the .env file?

Should look like this without the periods.```
M.jM4.NDk0.NzU2.NTIx.Mzc3Nzky.CunGFQ.wUILz7z6HoJzVeq6pyHPmVgQgV4

(It's not a real token)

[unkempt rain]

yes

[unkempt rain]

no

[unkempt rain]

yes looks like that

[inland bear]

Something about your token is wrong

[unkempt rain]

it cant be

i just copied it from the logs

and i tried it on an alt

it says the same thing

[inland bear]

The logs?

[unkempt rain]

yes

my code doesnt have 700 lines either

so its something in the pythons files

\Lib\site-packages\discord\client.py

[inland bear]

Can you share your vtz_bot.py file

!paste

[vocal maple]

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 Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[unkempt rain]

its a self bot lmao

[inland bear]

!self

!rule 5 self bots aren't allowed

[vocal maple]

[unkempt rain]
