TLObject's __init__ used to call utils.get_input_* methods and similar to auto-cast things like User into InputPeerUser as required. Now there's a custom .resolve() method for this purpose with several advantages: - Old behaviour still works, autocasts work like usual. - A request can be constructed and later modified, before the autocast only occured on the constructor but now while invoking. - This allows us to not only use the utils module but also the client, so it's even possible to use usernames or phone numbers for things that require an InputPeer. This actually assumes the TelegramClient subclass is being used and not the bare version which would fail when calling .get_input_peer().
Telethon
========
.. epigraph::
⭐️ Thanks **everyone** who has starred the project, it means a lot!
**Telethon** is Telegram client implementation in **Python 3** which uses
the latest available API of Telegram. Remember to use **pip3** to install!
What is this?
-------------
Telegram is a popular messaging application. This library is meant
to make it easy for you to write Python programs that can interact
with Telegram. Think of it as a wrapper that has already done the
heavy job for you, so you can focus on developing an application.
Installing
----------
.. code:: sh
pip3 install telethon
Creating a client
-----------------
.. code:: python
from telethon import TelegramClient
# These example values won't work. You must get your own api_id and
# api_hash from https://my.telegram.org, under API Development.
api_id = 12345
api_hash = '0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef'
client = TelegramClient('session_name', api_id, api_hash)
client.start()
Doing stuff
-----------
.. code:: python
print(me.stringify())
client.send_message('username', 'Hello! Talking to you from Telethon')
client.send_file('username', '/home/myself/Pictures/holidays.jpg')
client.download_profile_photo(me)
messages = client.get_message_history('username')
client.download_media(messages[0])
