Documented the new way of listening to events as well the new events that could be listened thanks to the recent refactor. Also uses the versionadded directive to document when something new is added to the library.
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()
You can find examples in the examples directory.
Requirements
