Current Features

• Dispatcher
• Logging Improved
• HTTP Client
• Client base class
• Basic events Improved

Client base class Example:

from pincer.client import Bot

# Note that both `Bot` and `Client` are valid!
bot = Bot("...")
bot.run()

**An example on on_ready event

from time import perf_counter
from pincer.client import Client

client = Client("...")


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as {client.bot} after {perf_counter()} seconds")


client.run()

Inherited client

You have the possibility to use your own class to inherit from the pincer bot base.

class Bot(Client):

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super(Bot, self).__init__(token='...')

    @Client.event
    async def on_ready(self) -> None:
        ...

See an advanced bot implementation:
