⭐️ 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

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.
