rename reverse -> oldest_first, which is more obvious what it does. Then, honor it entirely - if you specify no `after` endpoint, we default to the beginning of message history, similar to how `before` defaults to the end of message history. This is a breaking change, and will change the behavior of any iterator that previously would have been returning messages in a weird order for limits over 100 `for msg in history(reversed=True, limit=300)` would return the newest 300 messages, in a messed up order (100..0, 200..100, 300..200). `for msg in history(oldest_first=True, limit=300)` will now return the oldest 300 messages in order. And so on. `for msg in history(after=msg)` is unchanged, this previously would return the oldest 100 messages after `msg`, oldest->newest order, and still will.

A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
Key Features
-------------
- 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
$ git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
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. ``python3.6-dev`` for Python 3.6)
Quick Example
--------------
.. code:: py
import discord
class MyClient(discord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
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 == 'ping':
await message.channel.send('pong')
client = MyClient()
client.run('token')
Bot Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
