Rapptz 616137875b Fix memory leak with the view store when removing items
The previous code would maintain items in the dispatch mapping if
nested children were removed between calls because it would only
remove items that are live in the view at the point of removal. This
meant that calling something like ActionRow.clear_items() would keep
all the removed items within the mapping and would not be evicted.

This attempts to fix it by maintaining a cache state snapshot and
making a diff between the two versions to know which keys are now safe
to delete since they are no longer in the live view at all.

   :alt: PyPI supported Python versions

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.
- Optimised in both speed and memory.

Installing
----------

**Python 3.8 or higher is required**

To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:

.. note::

    A `Virtual Environment <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>`__ is recommended to install
    the library, especially on Linux where the system Python is externally managed and restricts which
    packages you can install on it.


.. code:: sh

    # Linux/macOS
    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/macOS
    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 <https://pypi.org/project/PyNaCl/>`__ (for voice support)

Please note that when installing voice support on Linux, you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. ``apt``, ``dnf``, etc) before running the above commands:

* libffi-dev (or ``libffi-devel`` on some systems)
* python-dev (e.g. ``python3.8-dev`` for Python 3.8)

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')

    intents = discord.Intents.default()
    intents.message_content = True
    client = MyClient(intents=intents)
    client.run('token')

Bot Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: py

    import discord
    from discord.ext import commands

    intents = discord.Intents.default()
    intents.message_content = True
    bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)

    @bot.command()
    async def ping(ctx):
        await ctx.send('pong')

    bot.run('token')
