discord.py is an API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
This was written to allow easier writing of bots or chat logs. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the API using the documentation.
This is basically Raptz' discord.py, the original one, but placed on life support, because I am too lazy to update my bot to use the rewrite.
To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/IOIIIO/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. apt, yum, etc) before running the above command:
- libffi-dev (or
libffi-develon some systems) - python-dev (e.g.
python3.5-devfor Python 3.5)
import discord
import asyncio
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('Logged in as')
print(client.user.name)
print(client.user.id)
print('------')
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith('!test'):
counter = 0
tmp = await client.send_message(message.channel, 'Calculating messages...')
async for log in client.logs_from(message.channel, limit=100):
if log.author == message.author:
counter += 1
await client.edit_message(tmp, 'You have {} messages.'.format(counter))
elif message.content.startswith('!sleep'):
await asyncio.sleep(5)
await client.send_message(message.channel, 'Done sleeping')
client.run('token')Note that in Python 3.4 you use @asyncio.coroutine instead of async def and yield from instead of await.
You can find examples in the examples directory.
