Table of contents
Introduction
This library provides a pure Python, lightweight interface for the Telegram Bot API. It’s compatible with Python versions 3.6.8+. PTB-Raw might also work on PyPy, though there have been a lot of issues before. Hence, PyPy is not officially supported.
python-telegram-bot-raw is part of the python-telegram-bot ecosystem and provides the pure API functionality extracted from PTB. It therefore does not have independent release schedules, changelogs or documentation. Please consult the PTB resources.
Note
Installing both python-telegram-bot and python-telegram-bot-raw in conjunction will result in undesired side-effects, so only install one of both.
Telegram API support
All types and methods of the Telegram Bot API 5.4 are supported.
Installing
You can install or upgrade python-telegram-bot-raw with:
$ pip install python-telegram-bot-raw --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-raw.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
Note
Installing the .tar.gz archive available on PyPi directly via pip will not work as expected, as pip does not recognize that it should use setup-raw.py instead of setup.py.
Optional Dependencies
PTB can be installed with optional dependencies:
pip install python-telegram-bot-raw[passport] installs the cryptography library. Use this, if you want to use Telegram Passport related functionality.
pip install python-telegram-bot-raw[ujson] installs the ujson library. It will then be used for JSON de- & encoding, which can bring speed up compared to the standard json library.
Getting started
Our Wiki contains an Introduction to the API. Other references are:
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)
Documentation
python-telegram-bot’s documentation lives at readthedocs.io, which includes the relevant documentation for python-telegram-bot-raw.
Getting help
You can get help in several ways:
We have a vibrant community of developers helping each other in our Telegram group. Join us!
Report bugs, request new features or ask questions by creating an issue or a discussion.
Our Wiki pages offer a growing amount of resources.
You can even ask for help on Stack Overflow using the python-telegram-bot tag.
Contributing
Contributions of all sizes are welcome. Please review our contribution guidelines to get started. You can also help by reporting bugs.
Donating
Occasionally we are asked if we accept donations to support the development. While we appreciate the thought, maintaining PTB is our hobby and we have almost no running costs for it. We therefore have nothing set up to accept donations. If you still want to donate, we kindly ask you to donate to another open source project/initiative of your choice instead.
License
You may copy, distribute and modify the software provided that modifications are described and licensed for free under LGPL-3. Derivatives works (including modifications or anything statically linked to the library) can only be redistributed under LGPL-3, but applications that use the library don’t have to be.
