The logging module is no longer required to get diagnostic output since we use `stderr` by default regardless of the logging module. Which means that the logging module will only give a more verbose output than is necessary. Client.is_logged_in checking is no longer necessary since all HTTP request handling now raise an exception if they fail so those chunks are also gone.
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.
If you want to install the development version of the library, then do the following:
pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@develop
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
- Python 2.7+ or Python 3.3+.
