Wizards Den

@Pro do you know how Mani's ChatExchange queries the markdown message contents? I'm currently listening to JSON events through a connection stream. It gives HTML.

SilentKiller

@ShadowWizard he'll surely get well soon. :)

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev Oh it's old, let him ask nothing wrong asking. :)

SilentKiller

@ShadowWizard agreed with me na. :P Using mobile it's headache to WAG from it :(

@Unihedron The history page of a chat message provides the message source, which is what you need.

The bot broke when a user left.

It's the first time that that happens.

DroidDev

*broke

Unihedron

Nice bug.

ProgramFOX

@DroidDev Fixed, thanks.

DroidDev

we test it in real time. That's what I love about it :D

ProgramFOX

aha...

I get it.

DroidDev

9:41 AM

@ProgramFOX no worries. I make more mistakes than all of you

may we reply now @ProgramFOX ?

ProgramFOX

If the bot is disabled and if an event happens, the bot checks whether the poster of the message is the bot owner.

DroidDev

looks eagerly

ProgramFOX

But UserLeft is not a message event, so fetching the owner doesn't work.

@DroidDev Yes, you may.

@SilentKiller derivative

SPArchaeologist

@SilentKiller Nope, I am eagerly awaiting to see how that question on meta develops. Didn't give the impression?

Unihedron

I don't think I qualify for graduating in Python, I just failed to understand what __init__, __get__, __set__ and __delete__ are.

ProgramFOX

@Unihedron I never used them so I don't really know, but I never needed them.

WTH? When I search Google for "Python init get set delete", I get a server error but "Python init" works fine...

So __init__ is the constructor.

Unihedron

Oh, here we go:

def get_history(self, message_id):
    """
    Returns the data from the history page for message_id.
    """
    history_soup = self.get_soup(
        'messages/%s/history' % (message_id,))

So they do parse the HTML for the markdown!

ProgramFOX

9:57 AM

@Unihedron yes, they do

Unihedron

Great, that's amazing help, the snippet is pretty easily convertible to java code.

ProgramFOX

And here is explanation for __get__ and __set__: stackoverflow.com/a/3798882/2619912

And __delete__ is used when a value is deleted (but not sure how to use that one).

Unihedron

Meh, this should be converted to a comment stackoverflow.com/a/15465745/3622940

and this is blatantly NAA but i'd let them live for now stackoverflow.com/a/21878613/3622940
