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.
from pincer import Client, command
class Bot(Client):
def __init__(self) -> None:
super(Bot, self).__init__(token="...")
@Client.event
async def on_ready(self) -> None:
...
@command(description="Say something as the bot!")
async def say(self, message: str):
return message
@command(description="Add two numbers!")
async def add(
self,
first: (int, "The first number"), # support arg descriptions
second: (int, "The second number") # since 0.7.1
):
return f"The addition of `{first}` and `{second}` is `{first + second}`"
For more examples you can take a look at the examples folder or check out our bot on GitHub:
Advanced Usage
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
From version 0.4.0-dev, the middleware system has been introduced. This system
gives you the full freedom to remove the already existing middleware which has
been created by the developers and create custom events. Your custom middleware
directly receives the payload from Discord. You can't really do anything wrong
without accessing the override attribute, but if you access this attribute the
Pincer team will not provide any support for weird behavior. So in short, only
use this if you know what you're doing. An example of using this with a custom
on_ready event can be found
in our docs
