Installation

Orca was built to run both as a generic-use library, and a standalone bot toolkit. Installing orca is as easy as running pip install orca.py, however some extra packages are recommended for power-users, namely:

Examples

Simple bot using the builtin bot authoring tools:

from orca.bot import Bot, Plugin


class SimplePlugin(Plugin):
    # Plugins provide an easy interface for listening to orcard events
    @Plugin.listen('ChannelCreate')
    def on_channel_create(self, event):
        event.channel.send_message('Woah, a new channel huh!')

    # They also provide an easy-to-use command component
    @Plugin.command('ping')
    def on_ping_command(self, event):
        event.msg.reply('Pong!')

    # Which includes command argument parsing
    @Plugin.command('echo', '
    
     '
    )
    def on_echo_command(self, event, content):
        event.msg.reply(content)

Using the default bot configuration, we can now run this script like so:

python -m orca.cli --token="MY_DISCORD_TOKEN" --run-bot --plugin simpleplugin

And commands can be triggered by mentioning the bot (configured by the BotConfig.command_require_mention flag):
