TypeError: (300,600,900,1200) is not a callable object

Question

I am making a timeout command using pycord python, but I am trying to make the time argument a choice instead of an input.

I have created a list called list_time with the times that should be selectable in there.

But when I run the code i get the error `TypeError: (300,600,900,1200) is not a callable object.

CODE:

list_time = [300,600,900,1200]

    @commands.slash_command(name="timeout", description="Times out the member that you specify from the server.", guild_ids=[1049465353245306951])
    @commands.has_guild_permissions(mute_members=True)
    async def timeout(self, ctx, member: discord.SlashCommandOptionType.user, time: discord.Option(int, "Select a time", autocomplete=list_time), reason: discord.SlashCommandOptionType.string):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Successfully Timed Out.", description="Successfully Timed Out the user from the server.", coolor=discord.Color.green())
        embed.add_field(name="Member Timed Out", value=f"{member.mention}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=f"{reason}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Time", value=f"{time} seconds", inline=False)
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Timed Out From Server", description=f"You have been timed out from {ctx.guild.name}", color=discord.Color.red())
        embed.add_field(name="Staff Member", value=f"{ctx.author.mention}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=f"{reason}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Time", value=f"{time} seconds", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Date", value=f"{today}", inline=False)

Answer 1

The autocomplete argument needs to take a callable object.

So the way to fix this is to create an function where we sort through the list of times and put them as time.

Then we can set autocomplete to equal the function.

FUNCTION:

async def time_searcher(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    return [
        time for time in list_time
    ]

TIMEOUT COMMAND:

    @commands.slash_command(name="timeout", description="Times out the member that you specify from the server.", guild_ids=[1049465353245306951])
    @commands.has_guild_permissions(mute_members=True)
    async def timeout(self, ctx, member: discord.SlashCommandOptionType.user, time: discord.Option(int, "Select a time", autocomplete=time_searcher), reason: discord.SlashCommandOptionType.string):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Successfully Timed Out.", description="Successfully Timed Out the user from the server.", coolor=discord.Color.green())
        embed.add_field(name="Member Timed Out", value=f"{member.mention}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=f"{reason}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Time", value=f"{time} seconds", inline=False)
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Timed Out From Server", description=f"You have been timed out from {ctx.guild.name}", color=discord.Color.red())
        embed.add_field(name="Staff Member", value=f"{ctx.author.mention}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=f"{reason}", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Time", value=f"{time} seconds", inline=False)
        embed.add_field(name="Date", value=f"{today}", inline=False)
        await member.timeout_for(time)
        await member.send(embed=embed)
