Rename the Library

[destroyace]

This seems very bold but there's reason to it. The current import, as it stands, is import discord. This is identical to the import for discord.py because of the way it has been forked. This is understandable and makes sense to a degree, but makes it very difficult for someone looking to code both selfbots and regular bots. While it is possible to use a venv, then install the right one, it still poses issues: it's difficult to import both into one project (seems counterintuitive, but could be a scenario) and that it's unnecessarily unproductive to have to re-install discord.py each time.

Therefore, would it not be best to rename the library? Existing code can still be kept, since the existing import would simply be changed to:

import new_name as discord

A suggestion for a new name I have is either selfcord or discord_self

Of course the new name won't matter too much.

It is worth mentioning that, but I wanted to make this discussion to allow people to reflect their own opinions on the matter. Should enough people want it, maybe dolfies would consider it.

I'm currently developing an open source project and this need to use a standard BOT account has already arisen at times, but when an ultimatum comes, I'll probably have to make the changes myself.

Since there is large demand for it, and I haven't heard of many people actually using this library with abandoned closed-source selfbots: I'll rename the next version. I think selfcord.py sounds pretty good, however it kinda conflicts with the project name too much.

EDIT: To clarify, I won't be renaming the project, only the import.

EDIT 2: Welp, now I'm getting tons of emails to not rename it. I'm either going to have two versions or just keep it the way it is.

[destroyace]

Sounds good! Also it might be worth noting that most closed-source selfbots are packaged as exe's which bundle the version of the library available at the time of bundling.

[dolfies]

Some people want me to rename, some don't.

Because of that, what I'm planning to do is create a new branch on this repo that has a different import name. That way, you'll be able to install it using pip and use it as normal.
However, I won't be uploading that version to PyPi. You'll have to install and update manually.

EDIT: See this new branch.
