🚀 Quick start

For Telegram, use xwchat directly (xwbots does not ship a platform adapter; xwchat owns the transport):

from exonware.xwchat import Telegram as TelegramChatProvider

provider = TelegramChatProvider(api_token="your-telegram-key")
provider.set_message_handler(lambda ctx: "Hello!")  # or wire an XWBotCommand
import asyncio
asyncio.run(provider.start_listening())

See examples/ for Karizma and Parrot bots that wire xwchat + command handlers.

🛠️ Development (editable xwchat)

XWBots uses xwchat for Telegram. To work on both with live changes:

• Recommended (exonware repo): From repo root, run the shared venv script so the xwbots .venv gets all xw libs (including xwchat) in editable mode:

  python scripts/venvs/setup_venvs.py --packages-only
  

  Then activate xwbots/.venv and use it; xwchat will be installed as -e ../xwchat.

• If you created xwbots' venv manually: Ensure xwchat is editable in the current environment:

  # From exonware repo root or from xwbots
  python xwbots/scripts/ensure_editable_xwchat.py
