☄️ Installation

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:

  • Python is not in PATH

    path/to/python.exe -m pip install pincer
    
  • Python is in PATH but pip is not

    python -m pip install pincer
    
  • Unix systems can use pip3/python3 commands

    pip3 install pincer
    
    python3 -m pip install pincer
    
  • Using multiple Python versions

    py -m pip install pincer
    

Current Features

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

The documentation has been 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 the 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 out of curiosity or to get a deeper insight into the implementation of some features, we provide debug logging!

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

Note: A lot of printing can happen, including sensitive information, so make sure to be aware of what you're doing if you're enabling it!

Middleware

Within the version 0.4.0-dev, the middleware system has been re-created, and now advanced users can utilize them; however, it should be done carefully.
