discord py roles creation with permissions

Question

I have been working on this as a side project for like 2 months and for the life of me I can not get the bot to create roles with permissions. Here is what I have.

levels={
        "Admin":{"name":"ADMIN","hoist":"1","colour":"0x6F0A0A","permissions":""},
    "Moderator":{"name":"WATCHMEN","hoist":"1","colour":"0xFF611A","permissions":"discord.permissions(manage_roles=True,kick_members=True,ban_members=True,create_instant_invite=True,mention_everyone=True,change_nickname=True,manage_nicknames=True,read_message_history,send_messages=True,embed_links=True,send_tts_messages,attach_files=True,external_emojis=True,add-reactions=True)"},
    "Member":{"name":"MEMBER","hoist":"0","colour":"0x52D41A","permissions":"discord.permissions(send_messages=True)"},
    "Verify":{"name":"VERIFY","hoist":"1","colour":"0xFFFFFF","permissions":"discord.permissions(send_messages=True)"},

}

and

async def cook_roles(ctx):
    for level in levels.keys():
        guild=ctx.guild
        name=levels[level]['name']
        hoist=levels[level]['hoist']
        colour=levels[level]['colour']
      #  perms=levels[level]['permissions']
        if name == "Admin":
            perms=discord.Permissions.all()
        else:
            perms=discord.Permissions(levels[level]['permissions'])
        print=(perms)
        await ctx.send(perms)
        await guild.create_role(name=name,hoist=hoist,permissions=perms,colour=discord.Colour(int(colour,16)))

Any help is appriciated!

I tried taking away the discord.Permissions() and formatting in perms like this

perms=discord.Permissions(levles[level]['permissions'])

but that didn't work either. (I have tried a host of things and just haven't figured it out.)

Here is a traceback for the first provided answer:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/discord/ext/commands/core.py", line 83, in wrapped ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "ny.py", line 483, in build await cook_roles(ctx) File "ny.py", line 551, in cook_roles await guild.create_role(name=name,hoist=hoist,permissions=perms,colour=discord.Colour(int(colour,16))) TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/discord/ext/commands/bot.py", line 892, in invoke
    await ctx.command.invoke(ctx)

You have a string values in dict, which is not considered as real objects.

You can store any type objects in dicts, so all you need to to do, basically, is to make values in dict actual objects with actual types.

You also was trying to use permissions module instead of Permissions class. And always make sure that permissions names exists: discord.Permissions (your mistake was in some missing =True and add-reactions instead of add_reactions)

levels = {
    "Admin": {"name": "ADMIN", "hoist": True, "colour": 0x6F0A0A, "permissions": discord.Permissions()},
    "Moderator": {
        "name": "WATCHMEN",
        "hoist": True,
        "colour": 0xFF611A,
        "permissions": discord.Permissions(manage_roles=True,
        kick_members=True,
        ban_members=True,
        create_instant_invite=True,
        mention_everyone=True,
        change_nickname=True,
        manage_nicknames=True,
        read_message_history=True,
        send_messages=True,
        embed_links=True,
        send_tts_messages=True,
        attach_files=True,
        external_emojis=True,
        add_reactions=True),
    },
    "Member": {
        "name": "MEMBER",
        "hoist": False,
        "colour": 0x52D41A,
        "permissions": discord.Permissions(send_messages=True),
    },
    "Verify": {
        "name": "VERIFY",
        "hoist": True,
        "colour": 0xFFFFFF,
        "permissions": discord.Permissions(send_messages=True),
    },
}
