A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a fork of OG discord.py_ by Rapptz!_ Since Danny no longer maintains dpy so I created this lib in order to add any upcoming feature from Discord and I'm using Maya's_ slash command wrapper for application commands.
- Modern Pythonic API using
async
andawait
. - Proper rate limit handling.
- Command extension to aid with bot creation
- Easy to use with an object oriented design
- 100% coverage of the supported Discord API.
- 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:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U zarenacord
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U zarenacord
Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "zarenacord[voice]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U zarenacord[voice]
To install the development version, do the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/Zarenalabs/zarenacord.git
$ cd zarenacord
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
- 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)
import discord
class MyClient(discord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
print('Logged in 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')
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')
zarena
defines a bot subclass to automatically handle posting updated commands to discords api. This isn't required but highly recommended to use.
class MyBot(zarena.Bot):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(command_prefix="!") # command prefix only applies to message based commands
self.load_extension("cogs.my_cog") # important!
if __name__ == '__main__':
MyBot().run("token")
Sample cog:
class MyCog(zarena.ApplicationCog):
# slash command
@zarena.slash_command()
async def slash(self, ctx: zarena.Context, number: int):
await ctx.send(f"You selected #{number}!", ephemeral=True)
# message context menus
@zarena.message_command(name="Quote")
async def quote(self, ctx: zarena.Context, message: discord.Message):
await ctx.send(f'> {message.clean_content}\n- {message.author}')
# user context menus
@zarena.user_command(name='Cookie')
async def cookie(self, ctx: zarena.Context, user: discord.Member):
await ctx.send(f'{ctx.author} gave cookie to {user} 🍪')
