pycord

A fork of discord.py. PyCord is 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.
  • 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 py-cord

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord

Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:

.. code:: sh

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "py-cord[voice]"

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord[voice]

To install the development version, do the following:

.. code:: sh

$ git clone https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord
$ cd pycord
$ 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")
