Introduction
This library provides a pure Python interface for the
Telegram Bot API.
It’s compatible with Python versions 2.7, 3.3+ and PyPy.
It also works with Google App Engine.
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 4.1 are supported.
Installing
You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot with:
$ pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade
Or you can install from source with:
$ 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:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive

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 to discover the official examples or look at the examples on the wiki to see other bots the community has built.
Logging
This library uses the logging module. To set up logging to standard output, put:
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:
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
If you want DEBUG logs instead:
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
