A pz-way to create your Telegram Bot
pzgram offers some functions to manage the messages that aren’t a commands. By default these functions do nothing.
When the bot receives a message, it will pass to a function called processAll whether it contains command or not.
After, pzgram checks the command’s nature: if it is a command, pzgram will call the related function, if it is a “normal” message, and
there isn’t a function set in set_next, this message will be pass to processMessage function.
These two function can receive the same parameters as the command functions, except for args. (Visit the previous page)
To connect a function to this method, you have to edit the bot attibute called as the function
bot.processMessage = your_function
Example
def start_command(chat):
chat.send("Send `ping` to call the command", parse_mode="markdown")
def process_message(message):
if message.text == "ping":
do_something()
bot.set_commands({"start": start_command})
bot.processMessagge = process_message
bot.run()
In this example, when the user sends the /start command, it replies saying that the user have to write ping to call a command.
When a new message arrives, it is sent to the function connected to processMessage, that is process_message. It receives this new message and check if the text is equals to ping.
This became useful with Customized Keyboard
pzgram allows you to connect a function that will be called at the start or at the end of the bot running.
startFunc is the name of the attribute of the bot object, and as the processMessage function, if you want to connect a function to it, you have to write bot.startFunc = your_function. It will be called before the bot start checking for new messages.
endFunc is the same, but it will be called when the bot stopping itself, so when the user quit the program.
editFunc is a function that permits you to manage the edited messages.
As the other functions in this page, it can receive all parameters that command functions receives exept for args.
To connect a function, you have to write bot.editFunc = your_function
