Discord.py will no longer be maintained #44

Open th8 opened 3 years ago

th8 commented 3 years ago

The maintainer of discord.py has indicated that the dependency will no longer be maintained and it will not support the new discord bot api. This will cause Griffier to malfunction at some point.

The FAQ lists other discord bot api's as alternatives like the Java or JavaScript ones which have implemented the new slash command system, might want to consider moving to one of those if RMTK doesn't want to lose the bot functionality.

Pycord, It's the most popular maintained fork, with slash commands and application menu.

As we discussed in the Reddit thread a couple weeks ago, and was requested on #meta, I'd be willing to port the project to Pycord.

Any chance we could get in touch about i.a the config file later this week?

The person who hosts the bot currently should have the relevant files. So @Peter-van-der-Velde should be able to help, I think.
