# Simple Bot to send timed Telegram messages
# This program is dedicated to the public domain under the CC0 license.

"""
This Bot uses the Updater class to handle the bot and the JobQueue to send
timed messages.

First, a few handler functions are defined. Then, those functions are passed to
the Dispatcher and registered at their respective places.
Then, the bot is started and runs until we press Ctrl-C on the command line.

Usage:
Basic Alarm Bot example, sends a message after a set time.
Press Ctrl-C on the command line or send a signal to the process to stop the
bot.
