Hello, Guys Today We are gonna see what is discord.py and where is it used and also we are gonna code a simple bot out of Discord.py
What is Discord.py
Discord.py is a Python library for making cool and unique Discord Bots Which You Can use on your Discord Channels. We prefer it as a developer because it makes our works a lot easier.
Where is Discord.py Used
To make it simple it's like Discord.js which is a discord Bot API library for Node.js Likewise you can use it to code a lot of cool Discord Bots.
A simple Discord.py Bot
Before We Code I Think you guys have install discord.py by running python3 -m pip install -U discord.py
DISCORD_TOKEN="Here Goes your discord token" |
# This code will work only on Python version >= 3.10 | |
import discord | |
import os | |
from dotenv import load_dotenv | |
client = discord.Client() # Create a new client | |
botPrefix = "!" # Change this to whatever you want the bot to be called | |
@client.event | |
async def on_ready(): | |
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client)) | |
@client.event | |
async def on_message(message): | |
# Get the message content and make it lowercase for easier comparison | |
msg_content: str = message.content.lower() | |
# If the message starts with the bot prefix | |
if msg_content.startswith(botPrefix): | |
msg_content = msg_content.replace(botPrefix, "") | |
# If the message is from the bot itself, ignore it | |
if message.author == client.user: | |
return | |
# Respond according to the content of the message | |
match msg_content: | |
case "help": | |
await message.channel.send(f'Hello {message.author.mention}! I am a bot that can help you with your daily tasks.\n\n' | |
f'To use me, just type `{botPrefix}` followed by the command you want to use.\n\n' | |
f'Commands:\n' | |
f'`{botPrefix}hello` - Says hello to you.\n' | |
f'`{botPrefix}help` - Shows this message.' | |
f'`{botPrefix}ping` - Pings the bot to see if it is alive with its latency.') | |
case "hello": | |
await message.channel.send(f'Hello {message.author.mention}!') | |
case "ping": | |
await message.channel.send(f'Pong! ping: {round(client.latency * 1000)}ms') | |
if __name__ == '__main__': | |
try: | |
load_dotenv() | |
TOKEN = os.getenv('DISCORD_TOKEN') | |
if TOKEN is None: | |
print('DISCORD_TOKEN ENV variable must be set in order to use the program') | |
print('Please set the DISCORD_TOKEN variable in the .env file') | |
print('No token found, exiting program') | |
exit(1) | |
client.run(TOKEN) | |
print('Bot is running') | |
except Exception as e: | |
print(e) |
