discord.py is an API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
This was written to allow easier writing of bots or chat logs. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the API using the `documentation <http://discordpy.rtfd.org/en/latest>`__.
Key Features
-------------
Breaking Changes
----------------
The discord API is constantly changing and the wrapper API is as well. There will be no effort to keep backwards compatibility in versions before ``v1.0.0``.
I recommend joining either the `official discord.py server <https://discord.gg/r3sSKJJ>`_ or the `Discord API server <https://discord.gg/discord-api>`_ for help and discussion about the library.
- Modern Pythonic API using ``async`` and ``await``.
- Proper rate limit handling.
- 100% coverage of the supported Discord API.
- Optimised in both speed and memory.
Installing
----------
**Python 3.5.3 or higher is required**
To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:
.. code:: sh
# Linux/OS X
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py
Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
.. code:: sh
# Linux/OS X
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
To install the development version, do the following:
.. code:: sh
python3 -m pip install -U https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/archive/master.zip#egg=discord.py[voice]
or the more long winded from cloned source:
.. code:: sh
$ git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. ``apt``, ``yum``, etc) before running the above command:
Optional Packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* PyNaCl (for voice support)
Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. ``apt``, ``yum``, etc) before running the above commands:
* libffi-dev (or ``libffi-devel`` on some systems)
* python-dev (e.g. ``python3.5-dev`` for Python 3.5)
* python-dev (e.g. ``python3.6-dev`` for Python 3.6)
Quick Example
-------------
--------------
.. code:: py
import discord
import asyncio
class MyClient(discord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
print('Logged in as')
print(self.user.name)
print(self.user.id)
print('------')
print('Logged on as', self.user)
async def on_message(self, message):
# don't respond to ourselves
if message.author == self.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('!test'):
counter = 0
tmp = await message.channel.send('Calculating messages...')
async for msg in message.channel.history(limit=100):
if msg.author == message.author:
counter += 1
await tmp.edit(content='You have {} messages.'.format(counter))
elif message.content.startswith('!sleep'):
with message.channel.typing():
await asyncio.sleep(5.0)
await message.channel.send('Done sleeping.')
if message.content == 'ping':
await message.channel.send('pong')
client = MyClient()
client.run('token')
You can find examples in the examples directory.
Bot Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Requirements
------------
.. code:: py
* Python 3.5.3+
* ``aiohttp`` library
* ``websockets`` library
* ``PyNaCl`` library (optional, for voice only)
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
- On Linux systems this requires the ``libffi`` library. You can install in
debian based systems by doing ``sudo apt-get install libffi-dev``.
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
Usually ``pip`` will handle these for you.
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
You can find more examples in the examples directory.
