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. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the API using the documentation.

Breaking Changes

The discord API is constantly changing and the wrapper API is as well. There will be no effort to keep backwards compatibility in versions before v1.0.0.

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. I will attempt to make note of breaking changes in the API channel.

Installing

Installing is pretty easy.

pip install discord.py

Will install the latest 'stable' version of the library.

If you want to install the development version of the library, then do the following:

pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@develop

Note that this requires git to be installed.

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()

You can find examples in the examples directory.
