A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.

• Modern Pythonic API using async and await.
• 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:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py

Otherwise 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-devel on some systems)
• python-dev (e.g. python3.8-dev for Python 3.8)

import discord
class MyClient(discord.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')
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run('token')

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
