About

Hata is an asynchronous Discord API wrapper built on top of scarletio. It is designed to be easy to use, with also providing rich API offering everything what an advanced developer might need.

Named after Hata no Kokoro from Touhou Project.

Why hata?

• Multiple simultaneous clients

  Hata can run multiple clients from the same instance without sacrificing performance.

• Performant

  Fast concurrent code based on async/await paradigm with cache control, PyPy support and much more!

• Newest API features

  Whatever Discord decides to release/update/break Hata will support it natively in no time!

• 100% Python

  Built in Python! Easy to code, easy to read, easy to maintain.

Usage

Simple example implementing a ping command.

from hata import Client, Guild, wait_for_interruption

GUILD = Guild.precreate(guild_id)

Seija = Client('TOKEN', extensions = ['slash'])

@Seija.events
async def ready(client):
    print(f'{client:f} logged in.')

@Seija.interactions(guild = GUILD)
async def ping():
    """ping-pong"""
    return 'pong'

Seija.start()

wait_for_interruption()

Hata leaves the main thread free, client.start() blocks it only till the client logs in (or fails it), although you can still use the start_clients() function, what as it says, starts up all the non-running clients parallelly.

Sometimes leaving the main thread might cause problems when trying to shut down the bot(s). At this case, you might want to use wait_for_interruption(), which disconnects the clients gracefully and closes the event loop on keyboard interrupt.

Installation

To install Hata simply do

# Linux/OS X
$ python3 -m pip install hata

# Windows
$ python -m pip install hata

# Voice Support

And you are good to go! Hata has native pypy support as well if you need some more speed!
