async
andawait
. - Added features for ease of coding

Installing
Python 3.8 or higher is required
To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U disnake
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U disnake
Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "disnake[voice]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U disnake[voice]
To install the development version, do the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake
$ cd disnake
$ 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
, dnf
, 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
import disnake
class MyClient(disnake.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')

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
Slash Commands Example
import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', test_guilds=[12345])
@bot.slash_command()
async def ping(inter):
await inter.response.send_message('pong')
bot.run('token')
Context Menus Example
import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', test_guilds=[12345])
@bot.user_command()
async def avatar(inter):
embed = disnake.Embed(title=str(inter.target))
embed.set_image(url=inter.target.avatar.url)
await inter.response.send_message(embed=embed)
bot.run('token')
