enhanced-discord.py VS pycord

enhanced-discord.py repo

Pycord is a bad fork in my opinion. I recommend using discord.py until it's entirely dead and then switching to enhanced-discord.py (Or switching to it right now). You can get slash commands with discord.py using slash_util. You can also switch to a completely different Python Discord API wrapper, like hikari.

enhanced-discord.py is a neat alternative to discord.py. And is what I use for python development. But yes, discord.js is a great place to start!

I am currently gonna use discord.py unless there is a breaking change, if there is I'd switch to enhanced-dpy since that is the only one that wasn't created just after the discontinuation and I've been seeing that fork for a long time now and it has some good features already

Theres some examples here

Pycord | Docs | A different fork. Can't say much. Tried to help people that use it and it didn't seem very cool. Plus, I've heard the support server is super childish.

So the “tickets” are a currency? If so that should be pretty simple; You just need a database like Mariadb|Docker and a way to interact with it, like sqlalchemy, then you just pick your favorite bot framework, like pycord, and build it. These are based on python but there should be node or whatever other language you prefer equivalents.

I moved to pycord, which recently released a stable 2.0.0 version with very good documentation and examples to work with.

That seems likely, thanks for the tip. I was working on the code on my local Windows for a long time, but only very recently tried to get the server Ubuntu going, so I guess I was using pycord from before that switch (apparently took place Mid Feb https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/1012 ), and during server installation I pulled a newer version.

I have written a few bots using the discord.py library, and while I appreciate the hard work the developers have put in, and I can appreciate wanting to leave the scene, this puts a bad taste in my mouth. I and many others relied on this library to interface with the Discord service only for them to abruptly archive the repository with no warning, and then suddenly decide to return just as quickly. What guarantees do I have that they won't just up and leave again? They said that the Python Discord bot scene is in disarray, a situation that A. they themselves caused and B. isn't even true. A number of forks spun off of the original repository and some have continued promising feature work (https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord is the one I had identified as the fork I was planning to switch to). Looking at the contributors, it looks like there are now two completing efforts with zero collaboration between them. I get the impression that there was a large amount of behind the scenes drama, with the archival of the repository done simply to attract attention.

I haven't worked with the new features yet, but you can check out the example on the pycord repo. It should be enough to get you started.
