class Handler(object):
    """The base class for all update handlers. Create custom handlers by inheriting from it.

    Attributes:
        callback (:obj:`callable`): The callback function for this handler.
        pass_update_queue (:obj:`bool`): Optional. Determines whether ``update_queue`` will be
            passed to the callback function.
        pass_job_queue (:obj:`bool`): Optional. Determines whether ``job_queue`` will be passed to
            the callback function.
        pass_user_data (:obj:`bool`): Optional. Determines whether ``user_data`` will be passed to
            the callback function.
        pass_chat_data (:obj:`bool`): Optional. Determines whether ``chat_data`` will be passed to
            the callback function.

    Note:
        :attr:`pass_user_data` and :attr:`pass_chat_data` determine whether a ``dict`` you
        can use to keep any data in will be sent to the :attr:`callback` function.. Related to
        either the user or the chat that the update was sent in. For each update from the same user
        or in the same chat, it will be the same ``dict``.

    Args:
        callback (:obj:`callable`): A function that takes ``bot, update`` as positional arguments.
            It will be called when the :attr:`check_update` has determined that an update should be
            processed by this handler.
        pass_update_queue (:obj:`bool`, optional): If set to ``True``, a keyword argument called
            ``update_queue`` will be passed to the callback function. It will be the ``Queue``
            instance used by the :class:`telegram.ext.Updater` and :class:`telegram.ext.Dispatcher`
            that contains new updates which can be used to insert updates. Default is ``False``.
        pass_job_queue (:obj:`bool`, optional): If set to ``True``, a keyword argument called
            ``job_queue`` will be passed to the callback function. It will be a
            :class:`telegram.ext.JobQueue` instance created by the :class:`telegram.ext.Updater`
            which can be used to schedule new jobs. Default is ``False``.
        pass_user_data (:obj:`bool`, optional): If set to ``True``, a keyword argument called
            ``user_data`` will be passed to the callback function. Default is ``False``.
        pass_chat_data (:obj:`bool`, optional): If set to ``True``, a keyword argument called
            ``chat_data`` will be passed to the callback function. Default is ``False``.
