Reaction.sent_by_bot

[BIRD-UP73]

It would be nice to have a function/property called Reaction.sent_by_bot so you do not have to do this everytime:

async def on_reaction_add(reaction: Reaction, user: Union[Member, User]):
    if user == self.bot.user:
        return

Don't know if this has been suggested before or I am doing something wrong.

This is provided by the API under a different name, Reaction.me.

I asked about this in the Discord, but Reaction.me always seems to be set to true once the bot itself has reacted regardless of who reacts

small code sample:

async def on_reaction_add(self, reaction: Reaction, user: Union[Member, User]):
    logging.warning(f'user: {user}, me {reaction.me}')

[Rapptz]

Yeah. it's True if you reacted to the message at all.

I have no plans to add the original feature request. It's unpythonic.

[BIRD-UP73]

In that case, would it be possible to add that to the current docstring for Reaction.me ?
Because I wasn't sure what

If the user sent this reaction.

means.
