A Python wrapper for the Discord API
Reason this release was yanked:
Not related to the new package for this name
Project description
A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
Why i forked this?
The original discord.py library was stopping development so i forked it and i will be adding updates. This does not mean its the new offical library but I wanted to do it because i use dpy almost every day the new name is Discord4Py
Key Features
Modern Pythonic API using async and await.
Proper rate limit handling.
Optimised in both speed and memory.
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
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py
Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "discord.py[voice]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
To install the development version, do the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
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='>')
