Change the description of on_error to reflect that exceptions are logged and not output by default. Add a note about not configuring logging causing exceptions to be silently ignored in handlers in the API. And add some more explanations and a simpler configuration example to the logging description.
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
