A fork of discord.py. Pycord is a modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.

Key Features

  • Modern Pythonic API using async and await.
  • Proper rate limit handling.
  • Optimised for both speed and memory usage.
  • Full application API support.

Installing

Python 3.8 or higher is required

To install the library without full voice support, run the following command:

.. code:: sh

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U py-cord

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord

Otherwise, to get full voice support, run the following command:

.. code:: sh

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "py-cord[voice]"

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord[voice]

To install additional packages for speedup, run the following command:

.. code:: sh

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "py-cord[speed]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U py-cord[speed]

To install the development version, do the following:

.. code:: sh

$ git clone https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord
$ cd pycord
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]

or if you do not want to clone the repository:

.. code:: sh

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

Optional Packages


* `PyNaCl <https://pypi.org/project/PyNaCl/>`__ (for voice support)
* `aiodns <https://pypi.org/project/aiodns/>`__, `brotlipy <https://pypi.org/project/brotlipy/>`__, `cchardet <https://pypi.org/project/cchardet/>`__ (for aiohttp speedup)
* `msgspec <https://pypi.org/project/msgspec/>`__ (for json speedup)

Please note that while installing voice support on Linux, you must install the following packages via your preferred package manager (e.g. ``apt``, ``dnf``, etc) BEFORE running the above commands:

* libffi-dev (or ``libffi-devel`` on some systems)
* python-dev (e.g. ``python3.10-dev`` for Python 3.10)

Quick Example
-------------

.. code:: py

    import discord

    bot = discord.Bot()

    @bot.slash_command()
    async def hello(ctx, name: str = None):
        name = name or ctx.author.name
        await ctx.respond(f"Hello {name}!")

    @bot.user_command(name="Say Hello")
    async def hi(ctx, user):
        await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.author.mention} says hello to {user.name}!")

    bot.run("token")

Traditional Commands Example

.. code:: py

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")

You can find more code examples in the examples directory.

Note: Make sure you do not reveal your bot token to anyone, as it can grant access to your bot.
