Discord.py

The official GitHub page

While trying to connect to the Discord servers using this API wrapper, the connection could not be established.

import discord

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

client = MyClient()
client.run('token')

This code with the token linked to the account that should be used gives the following error message: discord.errors.LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed.

Doing some more research also showed that this library is mostly useful for creating bots and not for creating self-bots. "Discord.py was created to work on bot accounts not user accounts." This means that this is not the best choice for this kind of job.
