I'm attempting to start a discord.py bot that is in a different py file and can successfully get the bot to start, however I'm not sure how to exit/stop the script once i've started it. ctrl+c works if I'm in in the shell however I have a pyqt script running the module and i'd like to keep the launcher up without closing it out as well.
@click.group(invoke_without_command=True, options_metavar='[options]')
@click.pass_context
@click.option('-c', '--cli', help='launch hangoutcore without a gui.', is_flag=True)
def main(ctx, cli):
"""Launches the bot."""
if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
# since cli is a bool we can pass it as an environment variable so it can be accessed by any code running in this session.
os.environ["bot_CLI"] = str(cli)
print(os.environ["bot_CLI"])
if not cli:
try:
qasync.run(botLauncher())
except asyncio.exceptions.CancelledError as e:
print(e)
else:
try:
hangoutcore = runpy.run_module('hangoutcore')
print(hangoutcore)
except SystemExit as exception:
exitcode = exception.code
else:
exitcode = 0
It would be better to refactor your hangoutcore
to only do important things when you invoke something in it, e.g.
import discordpy, eris, apple, fnord
# ... lots of bot logic
def run():
...
and then you can just
import hangoutcore
whenever, and then call
hangoutcore.run()
when you want to do the main thing.
