scurrypy 0.7.1

Dataclass-driven Discord API Wrapper in Python

ScurryPy

A lightweight, fully readable Discord API framework built to accommodate everything from basic bots to custom frameworks.

While ScurryPy powers many squirrel-related shenanigans, it works just as well for game bots, interactive components, and educational projects.

Features

• Easy to extend and build frameworks on top
• Lightweight core (<1000 lines)
• Command, and event handling
• Unix shell-style wildcards for component routing
• Declarative style using decorators
• Supports both legacy and new features
• Respects Discord's rate limits
• No __future__ hacks to avoid circular import
• Capable of sharding

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.

import scurrypy

client = scurrypy.Client(
    token='your-token',
    application_id=APPLICATION_ID  # your bot's application ID
)

@client.command(
    scurrypy.SlashCommand('example', 'Demonstrate the minimal slash command!'), 
    GUILD_ID  # must be a guild ID your bot is in
)
async def example(bot: scurrypy.Client, event: scurrypy.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 scurrypy

client = scurrypy.Client(
    token='your-token',
    application_id=APPLICATION_ID,  # your bot's application ID
    intents=scurrypy.set_intents(message_content=True),
    prefix='!'  # your custom prefix
)

@client.prefix_command("ping")
async def on_ping(bot: scurrypy.Client, event: scurrypy.MessageCreateEvent):
    await event.message.send("Pong!")

client.run()

Building on Top of ScurryPy

ScurryPy is designed to be easy to extend with your own abstractions.

The following demonstrates integrating a custom cache into your client configuration:

class CacheProtocol(Protocol):
    async def get_user(self, user_id: int) ...

    # and the rest...

class MyCache(CacheProtocol):
    # your implementation...

class MyConfig(BaseConfig):
    cache: MyCache
    # other stuff here...

client = scurrypy.Client(
    token = 'your-token',
    application_id = 123456789012345,
    config = MyConfig()
)
