Context based callbacks (#1100)
See https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Transition-guide-to-Version-11.0 under Context based callbacks and Filters in handlers for a good guide on the changes in this commit.

* Change handlers so context is supported

* Attempt to make parameter "guessing" work on py < 3.5

* Document use_context in all handlers

* Add Context to docs

* Minor fixes to context handling

* Add tests for context stuff

* Allow the signature check to work on py<3.5 with methods

* Fix order of operations

* Address most issues raised in CR

* Make CommandHandler no longer support filter lists

* Fix indent

(pycharm can be an arse sometimes)

* Improve readability in conversationhandler

* Make context have Match instead of groups & groupdict

* Remove filter list support from messagehandler too

* Small fix to StringCommandHandler

* More small fixes to handlers

* Amend CHANGES

* Fix tests and fix bugs raised by tests

* Don't allow users to ignore errors without messing with the warning filters themselves

* Ignore our own deprecation warnings when testing

* Skipping deprecationwarning test on py2

* Forgot some changes

* Handler: Improved documentation and text of deprecation warnings

* HandlerContext: Keep only dispatcher and use properties; improved doc

* Complete fixing the documentation.

 - Fixes per Eldinnie's comments.
 - Fixes per warnings when running sphinx.

* Some small doc fixes (interlinks and optionals)

* Change add_error_handler to use HandlerContext too

* More context based changes

Context Based Handlers -> Context Based Callbacks

No longer use_context args on every single Handler

Instead set dispatcher/updater .use_context=True to use

Works with
- Handler callbacks
- Error handler callbacks
- Job callbacks

Change examples to context based callbacks so new users are not confused

Rename and move the context object from Handlers.HandlerContext to CallbackContext, since it doesn't only apply to handlers anymore.

Fix tests by adding a new fixture `cpd` which is a dispatcher with use_context=True

* Forgot about conversationhandler

* Forgot jobqueue

* Add tests for callbackcontext & for context based callback job

* Fix as per review :)

============
Introduction
============

This library provides a pure Python interface for the
`Telegram Bot API <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_.
It's compatible with Python versions 2.7, 3.3+ and `PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`_.
It also works with `Google App Engine <https://cloud.google.com/appengine>`_.

In addition to the pure API implementation, this library features a number of high-level classes to
make the development of bots easy and straightforward. These classes are contained in the
``telegram.ext`` submodule.

====================
Telegram API support
====================

All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API 3.6 are supported.

==========
Installing
==========

You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot with:

.. code:: shell

    $ pip install python-telegram-bot --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.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

===============
Getting started
===============

Our Wiki contains a lot of resources to get you started with ``python-telegram-bot``:

- `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_
- Tutorial: `Your first Bot <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions-%E2%80%93-Your-first-Bot>`_

- `python-telegram-bot documentation <https://python-telegram-bot.readthedocs.io/>`_

-------------------
Learning by example
-------------------

We believe that the best way to learn and understand this simple package is by example. So here
are some examples for you to review. Even if it's not your approach for learning, please take a
look at ``echobot2``, it is de facto the base for most of the bots out there. Best of all,
the code for these examples are released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the
code and building on top of it.

Visit `this page <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/README.md>`_ to discover the official examples or look at the examples on the `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Examples>`_ to see other bots the community has built.

-------
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/>`_.
