fluxer.py 0.4.2

---

A Python API wrapper for Fluxer.

Build bots and automated clients with a clean, type-safe, and event-driven architecture.

---

Features

• Async-first design built on asyncio
• REST API support with automatic rate limiting
• WebSocket gateway for real-time events
• Command framework with decorators
• Modular cog system
• Strongly-typed data models
• Structured error handling and retry logic
• Clean separation between low-level Client and high-level Bot

---

Installation

pip install fluxer.py

Requires Python 3.10 or higher.

Voice support

Voice requires LiveKit and ffmpeg:

pip install fluxer.py[voice]

or

uv add fluxer.py --extra voice

ffmpeg must be installed separately and available on your PATH.

On macOS (assuming you have Brew):

brew install ffmpeg

On Debian/Ubuntu:

apt install ffmpeg

On Windows: (assuming you have Chocolatey)

choco install ffmpeg

For development:

git clone https://github.com/akarealemil/fluxer.py.git
cd fluxer.py
pip install -e .

---

Template

A batteries-included template is available to get you started quickly with a new bot project.

---

Quick Start

A simple bot with a ping command:

import fluxer

bot = fluxer.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=fluxer.Intents.default())

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Bot is ready! Logged in as {bot.user.username}")

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.reply("Pong!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    TOKEN = "your_bot_token"
    bot.run(TOKEN)

---

Choosing Between Bot and Client

Bot

Use Bot if you need: - Decorator-based commands - Built-in command parsing - Cog support - Rapid bot development

Client

Use Client if you need: - Full event-driven control - A custom command framework - Lower-level API interaction - Advanced or specialized implementations

---

Architecture Overview

Bot extends Client, adding a command framework on top of the core event system.

Core components:

• HTTPClient -- Handles REST requests and rate limits
• Gateway -- Manages WebSocket connection and event dispatch
• Client -- Base event-driven interface
• Bot -- High-level command framework
• Cog -- Modular command grouping system

---

Data Models

fluxer.py provides strongly-typed models representing Fluxer entities:

• Guild
• Channel
• Message
• User
• GuildMember
• VoiceState
• Webhook
• Embed
• Emoji

Models encapsulate both state and behavior, exposing convenience methods such as:

• Message.reply()
• Channel.send()
• Guild.kick_member()

---

Voice

Requires fluxer.py[voice] and ffmpeg

@bot.command()
async def play(ctx, channel_id: int, *, path: str):
    channel = await bot.fetch_channel(str(channel_id))

    async with await channel.connect(bot) as vc:
        await vc.play_file(path)

For background playback with an after callback:

async with await channel.connect(bot) as vc:
    vc.play(fluxer.FFmpegPCMAudio("music.mp3"), after=lambda e: print("done"))
    # bot continues handling commands while audio plays

Pause and resume mid-playback:

vc.pause()
vc.resume()
print(vc.is_paused)  # bool

FFmpegPCMAudio accepts the same options as discord.py's FFmpegPCMAudio:

Parameter	Description
executable	Path to ffmpeg binary (default: "ffmpeg")
before_options	Arguments inserted before -i (e.g. "-ss 30" to seek)
options	Arguments inserted after the source (e.g. "-filter:a volume=0.5")
sample_rate	Output sample rate in Hz (default: 48000)
num_channels	1 for mono, 2 for stereo (default: 2)

---

Intents

Intents determine which events your application receives from the WebSocket gateway.

Common usage:

fluxer.Intents.default()
fluxer.Intents.all()

Limiting intents improves performance and ensures your application subscribes only to necessary events.

---

Exceptions

All library exceptions inherit from:

FluxerException

Errors include:

• HTTP errors mapped to REST status codes
• Gateway protocol errors
• Connection and retry-related failures
