A compatability shim between Discord.py and Hikari.

Usage as a partial shim:

import discord
import hikari
import hikari_shim

dpy_bot = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all(), enable_debug_events=True)
hikari_bot = hikari.GatewayBot("TOKEN")


@dpy_bot.event
async def on_connect():
    # This is required to use REST routes :(
    hikari_bot._rest.start()


@dpy_bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    print("message received on discord.py side!")


@hikari_bot.listen(hikari.MessageCreateEvent)
async def hikari_on_message(evt):
    print("message received on hikari side!")


hikari_shim.partial_load(dpy_bot, hikari_bot)

dpy_bot.run("TOKEN")

There's also a full (?) shim, but it runs into loop issues and whatnot. It requires you to use a hikari client with no intents and start both clients.

caveat emptor

• This does not work with discord.AutoShardedClient.
• This has a peer dependency on discord.py, make sure to install that!
• There are some operations that are not shimmed (voice and chunking guild members, to be specific, because I do not know how to do them in dpy).
• Ratelimiting is not shared.
• You will have double the CPU usage and double the memory usage. (or something in that range).
• Some components may not have been started yet.
• More, probably.
