Collection of easy to use, beginner friendly but powerful, orthogonal tools to speed up discord bots development (discord.py)

Features

• The batteries of discord.py
• Easy to read type-hinted code
• Active development
• Minimal dependencies

Instalation

Install the latest version of the library with pip.

pip install -U dpytools

• Documentation

Use Examples:

The library has a couple of reaction menus that are really easy to use. dpytools.menus.arrows takes a list of embeds and displays it using a reaction menu.

@bot.command()asyncdefarrow_menu(ctx):
""" This command sends a list of embeds in a reaction menu with emojis aid in navigation """fromdpytools.menusimportarrowslong_list_of_embeds= [discord.Embed(...), ...]
awaitarrows(ctx, long_list_of_embeds)

There are multiple checks you can use directly on your commands dpytools.checks.admin_or_roles takes any number of strings (Role names) and ints (role ID) and checks if the person using the command has those roles or has administrator permissions.

fromdpytools.checksimportadmin_or_roles@bot.command()@admin_or_roles('Moderator', 123456789)asyncdefmoderation(ctx):
ctx.send('Only admins and people with a a role named "Moderator" ''or with a role with id 123456789 can use this command')

fromdpytools.checksimportany_checks@commands.guild_only() # This command must be called inside a server@any_checks# Place the decorator above the checks you with to compare using "OR"@commands.is_owner() # The command will run if ctx.author is the owner of the bot@commands.has_role('Admin') # __OR__ if ctx.author has the role "Admin"@bot.command() # this decorator transforms this function in a command any_checks must be above itasyncdeftest(ct):
awaitctx.send('The command works')

There are also multiple argument parsers. Functions that convert a user's input to something more useful. dpytools.parsers.to_timedelta takes a string in the format <number>[s|m|h|d|w] and returns a timedelta object

fromdpytools.parsersimportto_timedelta@bot.command()@commands.guild_only()asyncdefmute(ctx, member: discord.Member, time: to_timedelta):
awaitctx.send(f"{member.mention} muted for {time.total_seconds()} seconds")
mute_role=ctx.guild.get_role(1234567890)
awaitmember.add_roles(mute_role)
awaitasyncio.sleep(time.total_seconds())
awaitmember.remove_roles(mute_role)
awaitctx.send(f"{member.mention} unmuted")

This argument parsers can also be used outside the context of discord.ext.commands In the end most of them only take a string and return the appropriate object. Only converter classes that inherit from discord.ext.commands.Converter require a command context to work.

There are many other tools available in the library, check them in docs/All.md

Status of the project

Beta. All functions have been tested but new tools are frequently added. Breaking changes may come depending on changes on API or discord. Use in production only after extensive testing.
