telethon\.client package
========================

The `telethon.TelegramClient` aggregates several mixin classes to provide
all the common functionality in a nice, Pythonic interface. Each mixin has
its own methods, which you all can use.

**In short, to create a client you must run:**

.. code-block:: python

    import asyncio
    from telethon import TelegramClient

    async def main():
        client = await TelegramClient(name, api_id, api_hash).start()
        # Now you can use all client methods listed below, like for example...
        await client.send_message('me', 'Hello to myself!')

    asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())


You **don't** need to import these `AuthMethods`, `MessageMethods`, etc.
Together they are the `telethon.TelegramClient` and you can access all of
their methods.
