Requires Python 3.6+
Only 3rd party dependancy is the Requests library. Install it with:
python3 -m pip install requests
This guide assumes your version of discord.py is updated to at least v1.0 or greater.
You can check your version with pip show discord.py.
f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)This allows you to use a local image located with the bots files, instead of uploading first and then specifying that uploaded image's url.
# Setting `Playing ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="a game"))
# Setting `Streaming ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="My Stream", url=my_twitch_url))
# Setting `Listening ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="a song"))
Note: This is written for those using Python 3 and discord.py, so if you're using something else please reference the relevant documentation for your language or library if you choose to use this as a general reference.
