Question

I have a discord bot programmed in python. I want the bot to say the first part of the joke, a time.sleep and then the second part of the joke (both in the same variable). This is my code:

if message.content.startswith('!joke'):
    a = 'Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?' + time.sleep(3) + 'Of course, a house doesn’t jump at all.'
    b = 'Anton, do you think I’m a bad mother?' + time.sleep(3) + 'My name is Paul.'
    c = 'Why can\'t cats work with a computer?' + time.sleep(3) + 'Because they get too distracted chasing the mouse around, haha!'
    d = 'My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot.' + time.sleep(3) + 'It got so bad, finally I had to take his bike away.'
    e = 'What do Italian ghosts have for dinner?' + time.sleep(3) + 'Spook-hetti!'
    msg = random.choice([a, b, c, d, e]).format(message)
    await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)

And this is the console output:

Ignoring exception in on_message
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 307, in _run_event
    yield from getattr(self, event)(*args, **kwargs)
  File "archie_official.py", line 138, in on_message
    a = 'Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?' + time.sleep(3) + 'Of course, a house doesn’t jump at all.'
TypeError: must be str, not NoneType

Can you help me? Thank you.

Answer 1

您根本不应该使用time.sleep，因为它不能与asyncio建立的discord.py配合使用。相反，我们应该有一个成对的列表，随机选择一个，然后使用asyncio.sleep在消息之间暂停。

jokes = [
    ('Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?', 'Of course, a house doesn’t jump at all.'),
    ('Anton, do you think I’m a bad mother?', 'My name is Paul.'),
    ('Why can\'t cats work with a computer?', 'Because they get too distracted chasing the mouse around, haha!'),
    ('My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot.', 'It got so bad, finally I had to take his bike away.'),
    ('What do Italian ghosts have for dinner?', 'Spook-hetti!')]

setup, punchline = random.choice(jokes)
await client.send_message(message.channel, setup)
await asyncio.sleep(3)
await client.send_message(message.channel, punchline)

Your going about it all wrong.

a = 'Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?' + time.sleep(3) + 'Of course, a house doesn’t jump at all.'

Will not work, The reason for this is because you want time.sleep(3) to be a string, for each of these you would from (what I know). Need to do the following

await bot.say("Can a kangaroo jump higher than a house?")
time.sleep(3)
await bot.say('Of course, a house doesn’t jump at all.' )

Of course, you would need to change bot to client but this is basically what you have to do.

Reason it wouldn't work: Doing a = "string" +func()+"string2 ; print(a)" would give a error because your treating it all like a string.

How do I add a pause between discord.py messages?
