• Unix system can use pip3/python3 command

  pip3 install pincer
  

  python3 -m pip install pincer

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:

Advanced Usage

Warning: These features are meant for advanced developers to make early experimentation with Pincer.

Enable the debug mode

If you want to see everything that is happening under the hood, either for curiosity or the implementation of some features, we provide a debug logging!

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

Note: A lot of printing can happen, with sensitive information, make sure to be aware or what your doing if your enable it!

middleware

Within the version 0.4.0-dev, middleware system has been re-created, and now also advanced user to use them. However, it should be used carefully.
