disnake or discord.py

[hitblast]

Since the original discord.py library by Rapptz is under development for its comeback as a library and lacks a ton of features in its last stable release, we could use a different and a much more updated fork of it in our tech stack. I'm talking about disnake and it implements Discord's latest API updates to further enhance the developer experience.

We can either:

• Use discord.py's master branch for a sneak-peek into its coming version and use the bleeding-edge part of it.

Or:

• Switch to disnake for the time being and then easily switch back to discord.py version 2.0 once it is released, since disnake preserves its syntax.

Any feedback on this issue is appreciated :D

I don't know how much impact changing midstream would have but if it allows us to move forward once they move to the new version.

Both of them have the same syntax so it's only a matter of name-changing before we switch backends from one to another. I think you might need to go through another research session :)

Yeah I still am looking through docs and examples. From what I see looks like it should work fine. If its only a matter of name changing, etc. then I think that would work out pretty well.

Project configuration stuff is complete so we can get on to actual code.

Are we using Flake or Pep8?

If we are switching libraries, we should do that reasonably soon.

[hitblast]

Flake8 would be good I guess.

Thats what I would think too. I am ok with either one.
