Velum

Velum is an opinionated wrapper for the Eludris API written in Python, very much inspired by Hikari. It can handle connection, keep-alive, gateway events and interacting with Eludris' REST-api. If you are looking for a command handler to go with Velum, please take a look at Velum-Sail.

Please keep in mind that this library is still in its infancy, and some much needed features such as documentation are coming in the near^TM future.

Installing

Python 3.10 or higher is required.

To install the library, currently the only option is to install it off of this very github page.

python3 -m pip install -U git+https://github.com/eludris-community/velum

To install optional dependencies to make everything run faster, Velum can also be installed through

python3 -m pip install -U -e git+https://github.com/eludris-community/velum.git#egg=velum[speedups]

This will install aiohttp with speedups extras, uvloop, and orjson. For more information, please see the example on speedups.

Example

import asyncio

import velum


client = velum.GatewayClient()


@client.listen()
async def listener(event: velum.MessageCreateEvent) -> None:
    await client.rest.send_message(f"{event.author} just sent a message!")


asyncio.run(client.start())
