discord.py is a modern, async-ready Python library wrapping the Discord API, including a commands extension for building bots. It handles rate limiting, gateway intents, and voice support.
Use cases
- build a discord bot in python
- respond to discord messages with a bot
- create slash commands and interactions for discord
- add voice chat support to a discord bot
- automate discord server moderation
- run scheduled tasks in a discord bot
When to choose
- you want a mature, well-documented Python Discord API wrapper with async/await
- you need built-in rate limit handling and a commands framework
- you want voice support and rich Discord feature coverage
When to avoid
- you're building bots in another language like JavaScript or Go
- you only need simple webhook messages without a full gateway connection
- you need a synchronous API without asyncio
