lolka.py 0.5.0

A Python wrapper for the lolka bot API (discord.py-compatible fork)

Fork of discord.py (MIT License, © 2015-present Rapptz).

lolka.py (imported as import lolka) is a Python wrapper for the lolka bot API. It targets lolka by default — no manual REST/Gateway overrides needed — decodes lolka snowflakes, and resolves lolka CDN asset URLs. See LICENSE for licensing (the original MIT copyright is retained).

Installing

Python 3.8 or higher is required

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

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U lolka.py

Quick Example

import lolka

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

    async def on_message(self, message):
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

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

intents = lolka.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run('token')

Bot Example

import lolka
from lolka.ext import commands

intents = lolka.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)

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

bot.run('token')

Voice

Voice works over WebRTC (lolka’s voice stack), not Discord’s UDP transport. The required dependencies ship with the base install — nothing extra to add.

The API stays discord.py-compatible — await channel.connect() returns a VoiceClient that speaks lolka’s WebRTC voice under the hood:

vc = await channel.connect()
vc.play(lolka.FFmpegPCMAudio('song.mp3'))

# receive/record other participants' audio (optional):
def on_track(track, user_id, producer_id):
    ...  # track is an aiortc MediaStreamTrack
vc.on_receive_track = on_track

...
await vc.disconnect()

Migrating from discord.py

Already have a discord.py bot? You don’t have to rewrite it — just alias the import:

import lolka as discord
from lolka.ext import commands

# everything below is unmodified discord.py bot code
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)

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

bot.run('token')

import lolka as discord covers every discord.Whatever attribute access in your existing code (discord.Client, discord.Intents, discord.Embed, checks, errors, and so on). The only lines that actually need editing are explicit submodule imports, since Python resolves those by real module path rather than by the alias:

• import discord → import lolka as discord

• from discord import X → from lolka import X

• from discord.ext import commands → from lolka.ext import commands

• from discord import app_commands → from lolka import app_commands

That’s it — the rest of your bot’s code stays exactly as it is.
