python - Programming a bot in Discord- How do I make the bot send a random image from a subreddit?

Question

I want to make my bot send a random image from a subreddit (r/memes). Here's what I have:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith('.meme'):
    memes_submissions = reddit.subreddit('memes').hot()
    post_to_pick = random.randint(1, 50)
    for i in range(0, post_to_pick):
        submission = next(x for x in memes_submissions if not x.stickied)

    await bot.say(submission.url)

It doesn't seem to be working, any tips?

Answer 1

bot.say was removed in discord.py 1.0 and replaced with .send.

So the line await bot.say(submission.url) should be replaced with await message.channel.send(submission.url)

In your for loop you recreate the list of non-sticked post each time and then call next but because you recreate it will always return first element of recreated list. You should move the x for x in memes_submissions if not x.stickied out of the loop into a varible. You could then user next but easier would be just to index that variable like it is a list with the random number.
