Add standalone example on error handlers (#1983)
* Remove error handlers from examples

Most examples use the same error handler, that error handler logs
update.to_dict but doesn't log error traceback. Hiding error traceback
is quite bad, removing the error handler entirely causes PTB to use
default error logging which does include error traceback.

* adding error handling example

* Change error handler example

Including:
- Change the telegram message to include usual python error message.
- HTML-escape the strings used to build the telegram message.
- Capitalize comments and add more empty lines to hopefully unify the
  style with other examples, at least a bit.
- Reorder imports.

* Add an error-rising command to the error handler example

* Slightly change example error handler docstring and comments

* Make telegram message sent by the error handler example more readable

* Rename error_handler.py to errorhandlerbot.py and add a start command

* Change error handler example to work without developer chat id

* Revert "Change error handler example to work without developer chat id"

This reverts commit c4efea6f

* Make bot token a module level constant in the error handler example

Otherwise the example will require two edits 40 lines apart to run.

* Show chat id in start command of the error handler example

The example requires you to set developer chat id, this change will
make things easier for users that don't know how to see their chat id.

* Add errorhandlerbot.py to the examples folder readme

Examples

In this folder are small examples to show what a bot written with python-telegram-bot looks like. Some bots focus on one specific aspect of the Telegram Bot API while others focus on one of the mechanics of this library. Except for the echobot.py example, they all use the high-level framework this library provides with the telegram.ext submodule.

All examples are licensed under the CC0 License and are therefore fully dedicated to the public domain. You can use them as the base for your own bots without worrying about copyrights.

echobot2.py

This is probably the base for most of the bots made with python-telegram-bot. It simply replies to each text message with a message that contains the same text.

timerbot.py

This bot uses the JobQueue class to send timed messages. The user sets a timer by using /set command with a specific time, for example /set 30. The bot then sets up a job to send a message to that user after 30 seconds. The user can also cancel the timer by sending /unset. To learn more about the JobQueue, read this wiki article.

conversationbot.py

A common task for a bot is to ask information from the user. In v5.0 of this library, we introduced the ConversationHandler for that exact purpose. This example uses it to retrieve user-information in a conversation-like style. To get a better understanding, take a look at the state diagram.

conversationbot2.py

A more complex example of a bot that uses the ConversationHandler. It is also more confusing. Good thing there is a fancy state diagram for this one, too!

nestedconversationbot.py

A even more complex example of a bot that uses the nested ConversationHandlers. While it's certainly not that complex that you couldn't built it without nested ConversationHanldlers, it gives a good impression on how to work with them. Of course, there is a fancy state diagram for this example, too!

persistentconversationbot.py

A basic example of a bot store conversation state and user_data over multiple restarts.

inlinekeyboard.py

This example sheds some light on inline keyboards, callback queries and message editing.

inlinekeyboard2.py

A more complex example about inline keyboards, callback queries and message editing. This example showcases how an interactive menu could be build using inline keyboards.

deeplinking.py

A basic example on how to use deeplinking with inline keyboards.

inlinebot.py

A basic example of an inline bot. Don't forget to enable inline mode with @BotFather.

pollbot.py

This example sheds some light on polls, poll answers and the corresponding handlers.

passportbot.py

A basic example of a bot that can accept passports. Use in combination with passportbot.html. Don't forget to enable and configure payments with @BotFather. Check out this guide on Telegram passports in PTB.

paymentbot.py

A basic example of a bot that can accept payments. Don't forget to enable and configure payments with @BotFather.

errorhandlerbot.py

A basic example on how to set up a costum error handler.

Pure API

The echobot.py example uses only the pure, "bare-metal" API wrapper.
