Use the following command to install Pincer into your python environment:

pip install pincer
⚙️ Didn't work?

Depending on your python installation, you might need to use one of the following:

  • pip isn't in the path but python is

    python -m pip install pincer
    
  • Unix system can use pip3/python3 command

    pip3 install pincer
    
    python3 -m pip install pincer
    
  • python isn't in the path

    path/to/python.exe -m pip install pincer
    
  • Using multiple python versions

    py -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:
