A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Fosscord written in Python. This build is a WIP and may be considered as unfinished and unstable.
- Modern Pythonic API using
async
andawait
. - Proper rate limit handling.
- 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 fosscord.py
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U fosscord.py
To install the development version, do the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/fosscord/fosscord.py
$ cd fosscord.py
$ 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
(orlibffi-devel
on some systems)python-dev
(e.g.python3.6-dev
for Python 3.6)
import fosscord
class MyClient(fosscord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
print('Logged on 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 fosscord
from fosscord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
