What's the best way to execute a script once, rather than going into an event loop?

I need to run a script on a schedule that will print a few messages to a specific channel. Is there a way to do this without getting into an event loop and having to exit the program with exit(), quit(), etc when done?

You should probably use a webhook.

The library supports webhooks in both async (aiohttp) and sync (requests) mode so once you get your webhook URL you can use the requests library and post to it. For example:

from discord import Webhook, RequestsWebhookAdapter

webhook_url = 'your webhook URL goes here'
webhook = Webhook.from_url(webhook_url, adapter=RequestsWebhookAdapter())

# Send a message to the channel
webhook.send('Hello world!')

@Rapptz This is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
