Before you begin…

Pycord has a lot of features which would be too advanced for a person just starting out with python, We would suggest you get the basic knowledge of Python before starting there is a lot of tutorials to follow and we would suggest you start off with small projects then get bigger as you progress.

How much python do i need to know?

• The difference between instances and class attributes.

  • e.g. guild.name vs discord.Guild.name or any variation of these.

• How to use data structures in the language.

  • dict/tuple/list/str/...

• How to solve NameError or SyntaxError exceptions.

• How to read and understand tracebacks.

This list doesn’t fully cover everything you should know before using Pycord, We would suggest you at least know these before attempting to make a bot in Pycord.
