-
Python is in PATH but pip is not

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.

.5.x verions
The 0.5.x version don't add any new features, but implement the discordpy classes within the package. Those will be very useful for the next versions
