Just focus on your bots.

botogram is a Python framework, which allows you to focus just on creating your Telegram bots, without worrying about the underlying Bots API.

While most of the libraries for Telegram out there just wrap the Bots API, botogram focuses heavily on the development experience, aiming to provide you the best API possible. Most of the Telegram implementation details are managed by botogram, so you can just focus on your bot.

import botogram
bot = botogram.create("YOUR-API-KEY")

@bot.command("hello")
def hello_command(chat, message, args):
    """Say hello to the world!"""
    chat.send("Hello world")

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

You can find the documentation at botogram.dev. Also, you can get all the news about botogram in its Telegram channel.

Please note botogram currently doesn't support some of the upstream API features. All of them will be implemented in botogram 1.0
