Move the socket message handling and Discord connection state tracking out of the Client class. The WebSocket class handles the ws4py based WebSocket to Discord, maintains the keepalive and dispatches socket_<events> based on activity. The ConnectionSTate class maintains the state associated with the WebSocket connection with Discord. In a reconnect and switch gateway scenario this state can be kept for a faster and less disruptive recovery.
discord.py
discord.py is an API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
This was written to allow easier writing of bots or chat logs.
Installing
Installing is pretty easy.
pip install discord.py
Will install the latest 'stable' version of the library.
This module is alpha!
The discord API is constantly changing and the wrapper API is as well. There will be no effort to keep backwards compatibility.
I recommend that you follow the discussion in the unofficial Discord API discord channel and update your installation periodically through pip install --upgrade discord.py.
Quick Example
import discord
client = discord.Client()
client.login('email', 'password')
@client.event
def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
client.send_message(message.channel, 'Hello was received!')
@client.event
def on_ready():
print('Logged in as')
print(client.user.name)
print(client.user.id)
print('------')
client.run()

Requirements
