Pomice is a fully asynchronous Python library designed for communicating with Lavalink seamlessly within the discord.py library. It features 100% coverage of the Lavalink spec that can be accessed with easy-to-understand functions along with Spotify and Apple Music querying capabilities using built-in custom clients, making it easier to develop your next big music bot.
To install the library, you need the lastest version of pip and minimum Python 3.8

Here's a quick example:
import pomice
import discord
import re
from discord.ext import commands
URL_REG = re.compile(r'https?://(?:www\.)?.+')
class MyBot(commands.Bot):
def __init__(self) -> None:
super().__init__(command_prefix='!', activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name='to music!'))
self.add_cog(Music(self))
async def on_ready(self) -> None:
print("I'm online!")
await self.cogs["Music"].start_nodes()
class Music(commands.Cog):
def __init__(self, bot) -> None:
self.bot = bot
self.pomice = pomice.NodePool()
async def start_nodes(self):
await self.pomice.create_node(bot=self.bot, host='127.0.0.1', port='3030',
password='youshallnotpass', identifier='MAIN')
print(f"Node is ready!")
@commands.command(name='join', aliases=['connect'])
async def join(self, ctx: commands.Context, *, channel: discord.TextChannel = None) -> None:
if not channel:
channel = getattr(ctx.author.voice, 'channel', None)
if not channel:
raise commands.CheckFailure('You must be in a voice channel to use this command'
'without specifying the channel argument.')
await ctx.author.voice.channel.connect(cls=pomice.Player)
await ctx.send(f'Joined the voice channel `{channel}`')
@commands.command(name='play')
async def play(self, ctx, *, search: str) -> None:
if not ctx.voice_client:
await ctx.invoke(self.join)
player = ctx.voice_client
results = await player.get_tracks(query=f'{search}')
if not results:
raise commands.CommandError('No results were found for that search term.')
if isinstance(results, pomice.Playlist):
await player.play(track=results.tracks[0])
else:
await player.play(track=results[0])
bot = MyBot()
bot.run("token here")
Why is it saying "Cannot connect to host"?
What experience do I need?
Why is it saying "No module named pomice found"?
