Eldinnie 4689a80c2e Bot API 4.0 (#1168) 
Telegram Passport (#1174):

- Add full support for telegram passport.
    - New types: PassportData, PassportFile, EncryptedPassportElement, EncryptedCredentials, PassportElementError, PassportElementErrorDataField, PassportElementErrorFrontSide, PassportElementErrorReverseSide, PassportElementErrorSelfie, PassportElementErrorFile and PassportElementErrorFiles.
    - New bot method: set_passport_data_errors
    - New filter: Filters.passport_data
    - Field passport_data field on Message
    - PassportData is automagically decrypted when you specify your private key when creating Updater or Bot.
    - PassportFiles is also automagically decrypted as you download/retrieve them.
- See new passportbot.py example for details on how to use, or go to our telegram passport wiki page for more info
- NOTE: Passport decryption requires new dependency `cryptography`.

Inputfile rework (#1184):

- Change how Inputfile is handled internally
- This allows support for specifying the thumbnails of photos and videos using the thumb= argument in the different send_ methods.
- Also allows Bot.send_media_group to actually finally send more than one media.
- Add thumb to Audio, Video and Videonote
- Add Bot.edit_message_media together with InputMediaAnimation, InputMediaAudio, and inputMediaDocument.

Other Bot API 4.0 changes:

- Add forusquare_type to Venue, InlineQueryResultVenue, InputVenueMessageContent, and Bot.send_venue. (#1170)
- Add vCard support by adding vcard field to Contact, InlineQueryResultContact, InputContactMessageContent, and Bot.send_contact. (#1166)
- Support new message entities: CASHTAG and PHONE_NUMBER. (#1179)
    - Cashtag seems to be things like $USD and $GBP, but it seems telegram doesn't currently send them to bots.
    - Phone number also seems to have limited support for now
- Add Bot.send_animation, add width, height, and duration to Animation, and add Filters.animation. (#1172)

============
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 **4.0** 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>`_
Other references:
- `Telegram API documentation <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_
- `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/>`_.
