Server salts change every 30 minutes after all, so keeping them in the long-term storage session file doesn't make much sense. Saving the layer doesn't make sense either, as it was only used to know whether to init connection or not, but it should be done always.
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])
