A Python wrapper for the Discord API

A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord’s user API written in Python.

Note:

Automating user accounts is against the Discord ToS. This library is a proof of concept and I do not recommend using it. Do so at your own risk.

Key Features

• Modern Pythonic API using async and await.

• Proper rate limit handling.

• Optimised in both speed and memory.

• Mostly compatible with the official discord.py.

Installing

Python 3.8 or higher is required

To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self

Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "discord.py-self[voice]"

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self[voice]

To install the development version, do the following (not recommended):

$ git clone --single-branch --branch development https://github.com/dolfies/discord.py-self
$ cd discord.py-self
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]

The master branch (version 2.0) is not ready for use in any way. Do not use.

Optional Packages

• PyNaCl (for voice support)

Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. apt, dnf, etc) before running the above commands:

• libffi-dev (or libffi-devel on some systems)

• python-dev (e.g. python3.6-dev for Python 3.6)

Quick Example

import discord

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')

client = MyClient()
client.run('token')

Bot Example

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', self_bot=True)

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run('token')
