The files under ``telethon_generator/`` are used to generate the code
that gets placed under ``telethon/tl/``. The ``TLGenerator`` takes in a
``.tl`` file, and spits out the generated classes which represent, as
Python classes, the request and types defined in the ``.tl`` file. It
also constructs an index so that they can be imported easily.
that gets placed under ``telethon/tl/``. The parsers take in files in
a specific format (such as ``.tl`` for objects and ``.json`` for errors)
and spit out the generated classes which represent, as Python classes,
the request and types defined in the ``.tl`` file. It also constructs
an index so that they can be imported easily.
Custom documentation can also be generated to easily navigate through
the vast amount of items offered by the API.

.. note::
These examples assume you have read :ref:`accessing-the-full-api`.
Retrieving full information
***************************
If you need to retrieve the bio, biography or about information for an user
you should use :tl:`GetFullUser`:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon.tl.functions.users import GetFullUserRequest
full = client(GetFullUserRequest(user))
# or even
full = client(GetFullUserRequest('username'))
bio = full.about
See :tl:`UserFull` to know what other fields you can access.
Updating your name and/or bio
*****************************
The first name, last name and bio (about) can all be changed with the same
request. Omitted fields won't change after invoking :tl:`UpdateProfile`:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon.tl.functions.account import UpdateProfileRequest
client(UpdateProfileRequest(about='This is a test from Telethon'))
Updating your username
**********************
You need to use :tl:`account.UpdateUsername`:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon.tl.functions.account import UpdateUsernameRequest
client(UpdateUsernameRequest('new_username'))
Updating your profile photo
***************************
The easiest way is to upload a new file and use that as the profile photo
through :tl:`UploadProfilePhoto`:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon.tl.functions.photos import UploadProfilePhotoRequest
client(functions.photos.UploadProfilePhotoRequest(
client.upload_file('/path/to/some/file')
))
