# 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.
## Quick Example
```py
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+.
