Python Wrapper TDLib

Description

A simple Python TDLib Wrapper (pywtdlib) that makes you easy to create new Python Telegram clients.

Installation

1. By pip3

pip3 install pywtdlib

Setup

This project depends on TDLib. TDLib is the official cross-platform library for building Telegram clients written in C++.

Example:

This wrapper is so easy to use, for example the following code prints every new message that is received in your Telegram account.

from os import environ
from pywtdlib.client import Client
from pywtdlib.enum import Update
import logging

# (optional) set some logging to see what is happening under the hood
logging.basicConfig(
    filename="app.log",
    filemode="a",
    level=logging.INFO,
    format="%(asctime)s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d]|%(levelname)s|%(message)s",
)

# 1. instantiate the telegram client (put your API_ID and API_HASH from https://my.telegram.org/apps)
tg = Client(api_id=environ["API_ID"], api_hash=environ["API_HASH"])

# 2. define an update handler (every time an update is received, it will execute it)
# this will print in console every new message received
def print_messages(event):
    if event["@type"] == Update.NEW_MESSAGE:
        print(event)


# 3. add the update handler
tg.set_update_handler(print_messages)

# 4. start the client (press CTRL + C to stop)
tg.start()
