Reasoning: instead encoding every character one by one as we encounter them to use half their length as the correct offset, we can simply encode the whole string at once as utf-16le and work with that directly.
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!
Installing
----------
.. code:: sh
pip 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'
phone = '+34600000000'
client = TelegramClient('session_name', api_id, api_hash)
client.connect()
# If you already have a previous 'session_name.session' file, skip this.
client.sign_in(phone=phone)
me = client.sign_in(code=77777) # Put whatever code you received here.
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)
total, messages, senders = client.get_message_history('username')
client.download_media(messages[0])
