Python 3.8 or higher is required

To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:

python3 -m pip install -U enhanced-dpy

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U enhanced-dpy

To install the development version, do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/iDevision/enhanced-discord.py
$ cd enhanced-discord.py

• 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)

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')

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run('token')
