This function converts message text into a more consistent form before moderation checks. It normalises Unicode, replaces common lookalike characters (such as @ with a and 0 with o), then removes whitespace and punctuation matched by the configured regular expression. That helps the bot recognise some attempts to disguise words.

def _normalise(value):
    value = _unicode_text(value)
    value = value.replace("@", "a").replace("$", "s")
    value = value.replace("!", "i").replace("0", "o")
    return SPACE_PUNCT_RE.sub("", value)

This function checks whether an input looks like a Discord webhook URL before the app uses it. It requires HTTPS, an approved Discord hostname, the expected API path, a numeric webhook ID and a non-empty token. If parsing fails or the structure is wrong, it returns false. This is a format check, not proof that the webhook exists or that the token is valid.

def valid_webhook(url):
    try:
        parsed = urlparse(url)
        parts = parsed.path.split("/")
        return (
            isinstance(url, str)
            and parsed.scheme == "https"
            and parsed.netloc.lower() in {
                "discord.com", "discordapp.com"
            }
            and len(parts) == 5
            and parts[1:3] == ["api", "webhooks"]
            and parts[3].isdigit()
            and bool(parts[4])
        )
    except (TypeError, ValueError, AttributeError):
        return False

This code calculates the current value of the shares held. It multiplies each stock's quantity by its current market price, adds those values together, then prints the portfolio value and total wealth (cash plus shares), rounded to two decimal places.

total_value = 0

for stock in portfolio:
    stock_value = portfolio[stock] * market[stock]
    total_value += stock_value

print("Total portfolio value: $", round(total_value, 2))
print("Total wealth: $", round(player_cash + total_value, 2))
