A Python wrapper for the Discord API forked from discord.py
Project description
A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
Fork notice
This is a fork of the Discord.py library, which unfortunately has been officially discontinued at 28th August 2021. Nextcord will replace Discord.py, with continued support and features, to still offer former Discord.py-users a stable API wrapper for their bots.
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:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U nextcord
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U nextcord
Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "nextcord[voice]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U nextcord[voice]
To install the development version, do the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/
$ cd nextcord
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
Optional Packages
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
from nextcord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.reply('Pong!')
bot.run('token')
You can find more examples in the examples directory.
