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had been searching for a proper tutorial on a discord bot using python, but I couldn't find one since every video was outdated , and the documentation also made no sense.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

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

Jag är så glad, folk som dig är göra guider för python liksom andra kodning språk! Kärlek från Sverige!

[@Indently]

Kul att se en svensk i kommentarerna, jag håller på att lära mig svenska just nu :)

[@TonyStark-lg7cw]

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

[@Indently]

Glad it helped!

[@Q.Roo_0]

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 😂🤔

[@TheOnlyCurd]

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

[@ivyw777]

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

[@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

[@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

This tutorial is by far the most useful one for starting a general simple discord bot! Really appreciate it. Thank you !

[@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!

[@dzelezny]

hey, how is your journey going?

[@CooperStaz]

Great video! Especially for programmers who are just getting into their programming journey.

[@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!:)

[@chanlers]

literally the best tutorial ever... worked like a charm. thank you!!

[@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

[@ClaireNighten]

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

[@ravenlb]

Great job, well presented - thanks!

[@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?

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

im stuck at 7:35 from dotnev import load_dotnev I have a bug saying Cannot find reference 'load_dotenv' in '__init__.py' I can't figure out how to fix it

[@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.

[@vrajved]

@@sandwichs8592 could youhelp me out? i have it installed but ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv' error keeps persisting

[@st4rtechofficial]

@@sandwichs8592 thanks, I had the same problem and didn't know I should've installed it... but know it works :)

[@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

[@fly-lioxit0]

How can I make it to show the commands available like any other discord bot?

[@PengKun-py7md]

tanks this video a lot. ❤you can't believe how long i debug my program just because missing click message content

[@bmaify]

Received an error saying: 'token' is not identified. When I look through the Discord_Token i noticed it's not highlighted in green like in the tutorial, but otherwise I followed everything normally. The code does print my token as it did in the tutorial. Is there a fix? Please and thank you Edit: I figured it out.

[@itzbazil2586]

What was your fix?

[@szymek3652]

what was it?

[@ezirimkingdom]

[@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

[@ghostshotxx6005]

from dotenv import load_dotenv isnt working it says ImportError: cannot import name 'load_dotenv' from 'dotenv'

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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@Zai_sssss]

I tried to gave it the permissions it didnt let me and sent me to a website that said "page not found".

Thanks for the information. I have now created my Discord Bot and its online but it wont respond to any message I type. Can you please re-upload this video and also add the chapter "Fix the bot when not responding to any messages"

[@corbinalt1773]

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. It went down into thousands of lines of code. I think it has something to do with the new intent stuff but I have no clue what to do about it. I coded everything exactly as is in the video.

Too many one liner which makes it super hard for normal devs to read the code. Remember a code is written once and read like 10 times. Always write one more line but keep it readable. I say this as a senior developer.

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.

Last time i tried to learn python few years ago, and i don't remember this stuff with colons. All this stuff like "lowered : str =..." or "intents: Intents" = ... or "client: Client = ..." etc. Is this something new? I failed to even properly google it.

[@lelouchlamperouge3676]

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

[@zerodrip669]

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