Client base class example:
from pincer.client import Bot
# Note that both `Bot` and `Client` are valid!
bot = Bot("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE")
bot.run()An example on the on_ready event
Pincer bots are required to inherit from the Client.
from time import perf_counter
from pincer import Client
marker = perf_counter()
class Bot(Client):
@Client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"Logged in as {client.bot} after {perf_counter() - marker} seconds")
client = Bot("YOUR_TOKEN_HERE")
client.run()Pincer makes developing application commands intuitive and fast.

If you want to see everything that is happening under the hood, either out of curiosity or to get a deeper insight into the implementation of some features, we provide debug logging!
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)The middleware system was introduced in version 0.4.0-dev. This system gives you the
freedom to create custom events and remove the already existing middleware created by
the developers. Your custom middleware directly receives the payload from
Discord. You can't do anything wrong without accessing the override attribute, but if
you do access it, the Pincer team will not provide any support for weird behavior.
So, in short, only use this if you know what you're doing.
