discord.py-stubs 1.5.0.1

discord.py stubs

discord.py-stubs

This package contains type stubs to provide more precise static types and type inference for discord.py.

Installation

pip install discord.py-stubs

NOTE: Because discord.py uses namespace packages for its extensions, mypy must be configured to use namespace packages either with the --namespace-packages command line flag, or by setting namespace_packages = True in your mypy configuration file. See the import discovery section of the mypy documentation for more details.

Usage Notes

In most cases, installing this package will enable developers to type check their discord.py bots using mypy out of the box. However, if developers wish to subclass the classes in discord.ext.commands they will need to follow the mypy documentation outlining how to use classes that are generic in stubs but not at runtime:

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
from discord.ext import commands

class MyContext(commands.Context):
    ...

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    Cog = commands.Cog[MyContext]
else:
    Cog = commands.Cog

class MyCog(Cog):
    ...

In order to avoid this issue, developers can use discord-ext-typed-commands:

from discord.ext import typed_commands

class MyContext(typed_commands.Context):
    ...

class MyCog(typed_commands.Cog[MyContext]):
    ...

Development

Make sure you have poetry installed.

poetry install
poetry run pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type post-checkout

Version numbering scheme

At this time, the version number of discord.py-stubs will follow the version number of discord.py it corresponds to and append one more version segment that indicates the sequence of releases for the stubs. For instance, if you are using discord.py version 1.3.4, you would use discord.py-stubs version 1.3.4.X where X is an integer.
