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
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
As of **23. July 2017**, all types and methods of the Telegram Bot API 3.2 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:
|
|

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)
|
