discord-ext-speedups

Cython speedups for various parts of discord.py

Installation

pip install discord-ext-speedups

Usage

import discord
from discord.ext import speedups
speedups.install()

This monkeypatches all available C extensions into discord.py, replacing the existing ones. This is best done immediately after import discord. To only install specific patches, pass the names to install(). For more info, see the reference section below.

To revert patches, simply call speedups.uninstall() to restore all modules to normal. This function also takes specific module names as arguments. Note: You should probably avoid doing this while you're using the modules or objects this library alters.

Available patches

copus

Cython bindings for libopus. This was written as an experiment in cython and doesn't produce that much of a speedup. A benchmark indicated a 10% speedup of Encoder.encode(), but this also works out to a mere 0.5% of the total time window for this call (20ms/frame).
