It uses Python's async/await syntax for non-blocking I/O and includes built-in rate-limit handling and memory optimization. The library supports both simple client-based interactions and more complex bot frameworks via its commands extension.\n\nThe package depends on aiohttp for HTTP requests and audioop-lts for optional voice support. It is actively maintained, supports Python 3.8 through 3.12, and has a large user base. Installation is straightforward via pip, with optional voice features available through an extra dependency (PyNaCl). The library is production-stable and suitable for building anything from simple command bots to complex Discord applications.","worth_installing":"Yes. discord.py is a mature, actively maintained library with low install friction, permissive licensing, no known vulnerabilities, and strong community support. It is the standard choice for Python-based Discord bot development. Install it if you need to build Discord bots or integrate Discord API functionality into a Python application."},"id":"discord-py","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/discord-py","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/discord-py.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/discord-py/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-03-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"discord.py","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python wrapper for the Discord API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":6842167,"position":1837,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.7.1"}
