It provides both modern slash commands and traditional prefix-based commands, with built-in rate limit handling and memory optimization. The library depends on aiohttp for HTTP requests and typing_extensions for type hints, and is designed to work with Python 3.10 through 3.14.\n\nYou use it by importing the module, instantiating a Bot object, decorating handler functions with command decorators, and calling bot.run() with your bot token. It handles the WebSocket connection, message routing, and command parsing automatically. Optional extras like voice support and performance speedups are available but require additional packages.","worth_installing":"Yes. py-cord is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. It is suitable for anyone building Discord bots in Python who wants modern async syntax and a well-supported library."},"id":"py-cord","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-cord","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/py-cord.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/py-cord/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-25","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"py-cord","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python wrapper for the Discord API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":540570,"position":6101,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.8.1"}
