============
Introduction
============
This library provides a pure Python, lightweight interface for the
`Telegram Bot API <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_.
It's compatible with Python versions 3.6+. PTB-Raw might also work on `PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`_, though there have been a lot of issues before. Hence, PyPy is not officially supported.
``python-telegram-bot-raw`` is part of the `python-telegram-bot <https://python-telegram-bot.org>`_ ecosystem and provides the pure API functionality extracted from PTB. It therefore does *not* have independent release schedules, changelogs or documentation. Please consult the PTB resources.
----
Note
----
Installing both ``python-telegram-bot`` and ``python-telegram-bot-raw`` in conjunction will result in undesired side-effects, so only install *one* of both.
====================
Telegram API support
====================
All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API **5.0** are supported.
==========
Installing
==========
You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot-raw with:
.. code:: shell
$ pip install python-telegram-bot-raw --upgrade
Or you can install from source with:
.. code:: shell
$ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot --recursive
$ cd python-telegram-bot
$ python setup-raw.py install
In case you have a previously cloned local repository already, you should initialize the added urllib3 submodule before installing with:
.. code:: shell
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
----
Note
----
Installing the `.tar.gz` archive available on PyPi directly via `pip` will *not* work as expected, as `pip` does not recognize that it should use `setup-raw.py` instead of `setup.py`.
===============
Getting started
===============
Our Wiki contains an `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_. Other references are:
- the `Telegram API documentation <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_
- the `python-telegram-bot documentation <https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/>`_
-------
Logging
-------
This library uses the ``logging`` module. To set up logging to standard output, put:
.. code:: python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
at the beginning of your script.
You can also use logs in your application by calling ``logging.getLogger()`` and setting the log level you want:
.. code:: python
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
If you want DEBUG logs instead:
.. code:: python
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
=============
Documentation
=============
``python-telegram-bot``'s documentation lives at `readthedocs.io <https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/>`_, which
includes the relevant documentation for ``python-telegram-bot-raw``.
============
Getting help
============
You can get help in several ways:
1. We have a vibrant community of developers helping each other in our `Telegram group <https://telegram.me/pythontelegrambotgroup>`_. Join us!
2. In case you are unable to join our group due to Telegram restrictions, you can use our `IRC channel <https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=##python-telegram-bot>`_.
3. Report bugs, request new features or ask questions by `creating an issue <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/issues/new/choose>`_ or `a discussion <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/discussions/new>`_.
4. Our `Wiki pages <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/>`_ offer a growing amount of resources.
