aiotg

Asynchronous Python API for building Telegram bots

This module is under heavy development, so it's not on PyPI yet. The current recommended way to use it is as GIT submodule:

git submodule add https://github.com/szastupov/aiotg.git
pip install -r ./aiotg/requirements.txt

You can create a new bot in a few lines:

import os
from aiotg import TgBot

bot = TgBot(os.environ["API_TOKEN"])

@bot.command(r"/echo (.+)")
def echo(message, match):
    return message.reply(match.group(1))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot.run()

Run it with a proper API_TOKEN and it should reply to /echo commands.

For a more complete example, take a look at WhatisBot.
