The first issue involved copied users which would lead to user updates causing faster evictions of the cache than was expected. The second issue involved users that weren't bound to an internal lifetime eviction policy. These users would not get evicted. For example, a user without mutual guilds or being part of the internal cache in general (messages, DMs) would never end up being evicted for some strange reason. To handle this case, store_user would get a counterpart named create_user which would create a user without potentially storing them in the cache. That way only users with a bound lifetime within the library would be stored.

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.
- 100% coverage of the supported Discord API.
- 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:
.. 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 on Linux installing voice 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. ``python3.6-dev`` for Python 3.6)
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')
client = MyClient()
client.run('token')
Bot Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. code:: py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
