A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
- Modern Pythonic API using
asyncandawait. - Proper rate limit handling.
- Optimised in both speed and memory.
Python 3.8 or higher is required
To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:
Note
A Virtual Environment is recommended to install the library, especially on Linux where the system Python is externally managed and restricts which packages you can install on it.
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.pyOtherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
# 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:
$ git clone https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
$ cd discord.py
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]- PyNaCl (for voice support)
Please note that when installing voice support on Linux, 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-develon some systems) - python-dev (e.g.
python3.8-devfor Python 3.8)
