python - Discord.py how do i limit the amount of roles to 1 so that when i type command again it won't duplicate Muted role?

Question

Role being limited to 1 is due to this being a Mute command, please help if possible.

        try:
            guild = ctx.guild
            await guild.create_role(name="Muted", limit=1)
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            await ctx.send("something went wrong")

Answer 1

Simply check if the role exists.

    try:
        guild = ctx.guild
        if not guild.has_role(name="Muted"):
            await guild.create_role(name="Muted")
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
        await ctx.send("something went wrong")
