How to Make An Discord Bot Using Python

There are many ways to make an Discord Bot, But the most easy way to make a bot is by Python Programming Language

This is an simplified version of discord.py documentation which is at 👉here.

Prerequisites :

• Discord Account(Obviously)
• discord.py works on Python 3.5.3 or higher
• Python 3.4 or lower non supported due to it does not have the dependencies(aiohttp)
• Python 2.7 or lower unsupported

Installation :

• You can get the library directly from PyPi:
• python3 -m pip install - U discord.py
• If you are using Windows, then the following should be used instead:
• py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py
• To get voice support, you should use discord.py[voice] instead of discord.py, e.g.
• python3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
• On Linux environments, installing voice requires getting the following dependencies:
• libffi
• libnacl
• python3-dev
• For a Debian-based system, the following command will get these dependencies: 
• $ apt install libffi-dev libnacl-dev python3-dev
• if you have some error try writing sudo at start and enter your admin password

Virtual Environments:

        Virtual Environment is a concept of an library of Python 3.3, which helps us to use the specified different version of library for a specific project

        With help of this we don't need to update our every project for every library version update

    A more in-depth tutorial is found on Virtual Environments and Packages.

1. Go to your project’s working directory:
• $ cd your-bot-source $ python3 -m venv bot-env

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   • $ source bot-env/bin/activate

   On Windows you activate it with:

   • $ bot-env\Scripts\activate.bat

3. For a Debian-based system, the following command will get these dependencies: 
1. $ apt install libffi-dev libnacl-dev python3-dev
2. if you have some error try writing "sudo" at start and enter your admin password

I Know, I Know I know that this page is full copy of the introduction page of python documentation of discord.py.

I tried to read the full documentation for creating a disk bot, but the website is similar to (In a good sense) a dictionary rather than a guide to creating a bot.

In Next Post I Will Try to Explain the Ways of making a bot
