Ciao, sei italiano?

[@siddhartharao4127]

I had been searching for a proper tutorial on a discord bot using python, but I couldn't find one since every video was outdated , and the documentation also made no sense. Thanks for the great work.

[@Indently]

Glad I could help!

[@DanielTheOcto]

As someone who doesn't even own a computer and is borrowing one let alone how to code, this worked flawlessly. It's really easy once you get over the first few hurdles of installing everything correctly

[@ilikecreeper331]

how's coding for you now?

[@DanielTheOcto]

@@ilikecreeper331 if you're asking if I've improved, not really. I only made a discord bot for an april fools gag for a couple of my friends. It does seem fun to learn later down the line if I ever do

[@ilikecreeper331]

@@DanielTheOcto well you’ll get there Speaking of discord bots I’m learning how to build one with python recently too

I have never heard of the walrus operator. Just that alone made watching this video worth my while.

[@terribletimmy2]

Recent addition to Python! Just learned about it as well

[@tjb3171]

same lol

[@artnaz]

I believe it was introduced in Python 3.8. Not that "recent" 🙂

[@Issma62]

Literally the same 😂🤔

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I followed along and created my own Discord Bot!

[@Indently]

Glad it helped!

[@sSessionn]

Hi, this video was very helpful to me. I hope you will continue to bring content regarding creating a discord bot in python and in a future video you will discuss the use of embeds, welcome messages, buttons, moderation functions and so on. I have so many questions haha

[@TheOnlyCurd]

This helped me a lot thank you.Keep up the work it really high quality

[@alejandroperezl]

Thanks for the video and all the contents you’ve created. I’ve recently bought a couple of Udemy courses from you and they’re amazing. Congrats.

[@Indently]

A huge thanks for the support! It means a lot!:)

[@ivyw777]

I made it!🙂Thank you. I got my first bot running.

[@hustlej]

Coded my first discord bot today with your video, now i'm using the code to learn further into adding more features and stuff to my bot! thank you for the super easy to follow tutorial

[@brien.]

super cool, good luck with your coding journey!

This is amazing! thank you for such a lovely tutorial!

[@ProjectMarzDev]

this was very easy i have barely ever coded with pyuthon but i have learned alot jsut becyse of this tutorial thank you so much!

[@thebetsnameverlol1531]

followed the tutorial but the bot doesn't response in the channel, only private messages. can you help?

[@developer_anonymous]

0:35 Dont use `discord`, use `discord.py`, `discord` is a mirror package, even the README in PyPi shows this warning. 8:42 Please, explain better Intents, Intents are the different things your bot wants to recieve from the Gateway & API, not some sort of permissions... 10:30 No!! Check if the message has any embeds or attachments rather than just saying that intents are not set up. 14:22 No need for the `elif`s, if any `if` block check is met then it will return something... I can't really explain myself here but no needs did elif 18:20 No need for those variables... 19:58 Why do you still have that "one liner check"? Just use if blocks, it makes readability better Also, why make a `responses.py` file? I thought you were using clean python practises, and that is NOT a good python practise. Anyways, good vid

[@ravenlb]

Great job, well presented - thanks!

[@SWJaeTee]

I code in C# and that Walrus operator blew my mind

[@DynastyRealism]

So, it says everything is all good and up and running. Everything is exact as the video. But when I text in the channels, it won't respond. But when I text using the ? then thats when it works and goes to DMs. What's wrong? Why won't it work normal?

[@shrijitmajumder4411]

Thanks for this awesome project

[@LearnwithChampzz-rv4lk]

Nicely presented!

[@Qdbp-sh5ti]

Im print "TOKEN", but the out is: "None"

[@rawsnot]

When I run my program I don't get the red messages.

[@cristiangaming5019]

I tried your code and i got a error on line 5 theres no module named discord

[@Jaden_YaLor]

i had the same problem, so my suggestion is making sure its "discord" and not "Discord", as that was the problem for me when I got the same error message. If that doesn't work, then idk I'm pretty beginner at coding :|

[@ECThrowaway]

Look up what pip is, it will change the way you code

[@st_9278]

Also you need to have pip installed firstly

[@maexle14]

Can you make a tutorial, how to add slash commands to THIS Version of a Discord Bot? But good job, thanks

[@user-st2yn9ve1t]

14:11 why dont you use " instead of ' it means you dont have to do the \

[@lainp1lledd]

Hi, I really liked the video! Can you show us how to implement a KZbin video tracking functionality (like Pingcord)? I've looked online but I can't find a way to do this since I'm not the owner of the KZbin Account whose videos I wanna be reminded of. Thanks :) EDIT: Also slash commands please!!

Hello I have some problems, can someone help me? Unresolved reference 'dotenv' Unresolved reference 'load_dotenv' Unused import statement 'from discord import Intents, Client, Message' Unused import statement 'from discord import Intents, Client, Message' Unused import statement 'from discord import Intents, Client, Message'

[@Zumbisinho]

Do you put in the terminal "pip install python-dotenv"?

[@Neqless]

If you get the error with "intempered token was passed" or something, you have to save the file after putting in the token in .env. This will fix it

[@mustafauludogann]

Thank you

[@joewipat5452]

I have an error AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'. Has the docs changed because I am getting it when I run your code and the one I wrote

[@caeleng5553]

Great video! I am a bit confused what the .venv file is for though?

[@bartuslongus]

The venv (virtual environment) folder is for storing the project specific modules without changing the global one. In this case we have the standard Python modules in there plus the modules installed witht pip: discord and dotenv.

[@lukaskjekken3313]

Hi! Really love the tutorial. Was just wondering, cause when I try to run the script I get a error message saying "asyncio.run() cannot be called from an running event loop", I just can't figure out what is causing this error.

[@sandwichs8592]

do you know if you have dotenv library installed on your machine? Sounds like python is trying to find the function, but can't find the package directory. Also make sure everything is spelled correctly.

doesnt work anymore i tried it, also wrong discord import

I don't think he understands how much some Linux users love the terminal. xD I'm legit working on a file manager for it. You may be asking why, and I'll tell you the reason is "why not"?

[@klaft5228]

Me too! did you find a fix? let me know please! thanks.

[@sandwichs8592]

depending on your version of Python, you should have a install certificates.command in your python folder I believe and that fixes the problem for most users. If you copy and paste the last line of the error code into your web browser you should be able to find some solutions if it is a certificate problem on the internet.

I recieved SO many errors and when I clicked the link to show me where it was it pulled up a bunch of random code that I never wrote nor could I edit it because it was read only.

[@lelouchlamperouge3676]

well you are basically defining the TYPE of that variable you are mentioning

it's a discord/api thing lol. "lowered: str", however, is simply declaring the variable type for `lowered`.

The bot should not be able to send a ddos attack because Discord will rate limit your bot, which is a HTTP error forcing your bot to disconnect and go offline.
