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 3.9 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 `__ (for voice support)
* `aiodns `__, `brotlipy `__, `cchardet `__ (for aiohttp speedup)
* `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.
