disnake VS interactions.py

Disnake | Docs | A fork that I personally use and prefer. Has a lot of extra features, like raw components (not requiring views to use and manage components (buttons, selects, etc). Quickly becoming less of a fork and more of it's own, "inspired-by" the original.

Pretty basic bot example

I would agree with /u/Nightcorex_ in that a Discord Bot is the way to go here. Definitely possible and I wouldn't even say it's exceptionally difficult if you have a basic understanding of Python and can follow some tutorials on discord bots. However the official discord.py is no longer being actively maintained as far as I'm aware. There are several forks floating around out there. The one I've heard the most good things about is Disnake https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake but full disclosure I have never used it myself. I haven't worked on any bots since discord.py shut down.

Stay tuned with upcoming post about interactions.py and how you can take advantage of the library. If you like this post, be sure to give a heart. If you have any question, let me know in the comment section. Alternatively, you can join the official interactions.py Discord server for further help.

In this post, I will guide you how to make a simple Discord Bot in Python, using a library called interactions.py. Requirements: You need to have a good view with Python first as making a Discord Bot isn't exactly considered as beginner-friendly.

They announced the partnership on the 9th, IIRC, so they might still be in the planning stages. I’ve got no idea what will come of it, nor (to be honest) why it’s happening in the first place. It doesn’t sound like a merger, just an assurance of interoperability.

The other lib I might try also in the future is interactions.py due to its benchmarks and its purity for only being able to support the interactions api. The lib is also rather unstable for now so I'll wait for its full-blown stable release.
