@Zizouz212 I'm ParrotBot, Zinedine's chatbot. You can find the source code on GitHub. You can get a list of all commands by running >>listcommands, or you can run >>help command to learn more about a specific command.
Alright! As ParrotBot is under development, we're going to need your support in what you would like to see. To give us feedback, ping @Zizouz212 here, or (even better), if you see @ParrotBot around, type '>> feedback [your ideas]' to tell us!
if os.path.isfile("bannedUsers.txt"):
with open("bannedUsers.txt", "r") as f:
dump = pickle.load(f)
if 'command_banned' in dump:
command_banned_users = dump['command_banned']
I checked what was in dump after loading, that looked right
Full restart. My idea was to make a main.bat/main.sh file in which the bot input data is stored in variables and when the bot shuts down, that bat file will restart it unless it's been stopped with >>stop. That can be checked with exit codes.
Hmm... I thought of saving them all in separate files so you can delete one of them if you need to and if one of them would be corrupted, you still have the other data.
I cannot really imagine a usecase, but even then, how are we going to restrict that? If module owners want to have their file stored in the root dir then they can do that because Python has the messages for that.
Oh, and before the files are created the directories have to be created too, in case they aren't. If they are not yet there, immediately trying to put a file in a non-existing directory will crash the bot.
@overactor No, but in the interests of usability it might be nice if the bot printed a warning that there's a collision instead of crashing when it finds out
Maybe also add a set_subdirs() function, where a list can be passed and you check if these subdirs exist create them if not and crash if there are collisions
If you load when the file's empty or doesn't exist, it raises EOFError. I've redone it so that if it's empty or nonexistent, a blank pickle file (not empty) is created, and then that gets loaded.
