Overview
Pyrogram is a Client Library written from the ground up in Python, designed for Python application developers. It offers simple and complete access to the Telegram Messenger API. Pyrogram:
Provides idiomatic, developer-friendly Python code (either generated or hand-written) making the Telegram API simple to use.
Handles all the low-level details of communication with the Telegram servers by implementing the MTProto Mobile Protocol v2.0.
Makes use of the latest Telegram API version (Layer 73).
Can be easily installed and upgraded using pip.
Requires a minimal set of dependencies.

Operating systems:
Linux
macOS
Windows
Python 3.3 or higher.
A Telegram API key.
Installation
You can install and upgrade the library using standard Python tools:
$ pip install --upgrade pyrogram
Getting Started
The Wiki contains all the information needed to get you started with Pyrogram:
Development
The library is still in its early stages, thus lots of functionalities aiming to make working with Telegram’s API easy are yet to be added and documented.
However, being the core functionalities already implemented, every Telegram API method listed in the API scheme can be used right away; the goal is therefore to build a powerful, simple to use, bot-like interface on top of those low-level functions.
Documentation
Soon. For now, have a look at the pyrogram.Client code to get some insights.
Currently you are able to easily:
send_message
forward_messages
edit_message_text
delete_messages
send_chat_action
Some more…
as well as listening for updates and catching API errors.
