Installing
Python 3.5.3 or higher is required
To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:
.. code:: sh
# 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:
.. code:: sh
# 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]
Optional Packages
* PyNaCl (for voice support)
Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. ``apt``, ``yum``, etc) before running the above commands:
* libffi-dev (or ``libffi-devel`` on some systems)
* python-dev (e.g. ``python3.6-dev`` for Python 3.6)
Quick Example
--------------
.. code:: py
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')
client = MyClient()
client.run('token')
