A dataclass-driven Discord API wrapper in Python!

While this wrapper is mainly used for various squirrel-related shenanigans, it can also be used for more generic bot purposes.

Features

• Command and event handling
• Declarative style using decorators
• Supports both legacy and new features
• Respects Discord’s rate limits

Notes & Early Status

• This is an early version — feedback, ideas, and contributions are very welcome! That said, there may be bumps along the way, so expect occasional bugs and quirks.
• Certain features are not yet supported, while others are intentionally omitted. See the docs for full details.

Getting Started

Note: This section also appears in the documentation, but here are complete examples ready to use with your bot credentials.

Installation

To install the ScurryPy package, run:

pip install scurrypy

Minimal Slash Command

The following demonstrates building and responding to a slash command.

Note: Adjust dotenv_path if your .env file is not in the same directory as this script.

import discord, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv(dotenv_path='./path/to/env')

client = discord.Client(
    token=os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN"),
    application_id=APPLICATION_ID  # your bot’s application ID
)

@client.command(
    command=discord.SlashCommand(
        name='example',
        description='Demonstrate the minimal slash command!'
    ),
    guild_ids=GUILD_ID  # must be a guild ID your bot is in
)
async def example(bot: discord.Client, event: discord.InteractionEvent):
    await event.interaction.respond(f'Hello, {event.interaction.member.user.username}!')

client.run()

Minimal Prefix Command (Legacy)

The following demonstrates building and responding to a message prefix command.

import discord, os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv(dotenv_path='./path/to/env')

client = discord.Client(
    token=os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN"),
    application_id=APPLICATION_ID  # your bot’s application ID
    intents=discord.set_intents(message_content=True),
    prefix='!'  # your custom prefix
)

@client.prefix_command
async def ping(bot: discord.Client, event: discord.MessageCreateEvent):
    # The function name is the name of the command
    await event.message.send("Pong!")

client.run()
