alianator is a Discord permission name resolver for Pycord.
It takes Discord's API permission flags (e.g. manage_guild) and resolves them to their user-facing aliases (
e.g. Manage Server).
$ pip install alianatoralianator can resolve aliases from discord.Permissions objects, integers, strings, tuples, lists of strings, and lists
of tuples.
import alianator
alianator.resolve(arg, mode=mode)The optional mode flag can be used to specify which permissions should be resolved. If mode is True, only granted
permissions will be resolved; if mode is False, only denied permissions will be resolved; if mode is None, all
permissions will be resolved. If mode is not explicitly specified, it will default to True.
