Discord.py is a Python library for building Discord bots. It provides an easy-to-use interface for interacting with the Discord API, allowing developers to create bots that can perform a wide range of tasks, such as moderating channels, automating tasks, and responding to user commands.

Using discord.py, developers can create custom commands, event listeners, and message handlers to interact with the Discord API. They can also integrate external APIs, such as weather APIs or news APIs, to provide additional functionality to their bots.
