The caption can also be a list to match the different photos.
Reusing Uploaded Files
**********************
All files you send are automatically cached, so if you do:
.. code-block:: python
client.send_file(first_chat, 'document.txt')
client.send_file(second_chat, 'document.txt')
The ``'document.txt'`` file will only be uploaded once. You
can disable this behaviour by settings ``allow_cache=False``:
.. code-block:: python
client.send_file(first_chat, 'document.txt', allow_cache=False)
client.send_file(second_chat, 'document.txt', allow_cache=False)
Disabling cache is the only way to send the same document with different
attributes (for example, you send an ``.ogg`` as a song but now you want
it to show as a voice note; you probably need to disable the cache).
However, you can *upload* the file once (not sending it yet!), and *then*
you can send it with different attributes. This means you can send an image
as a photo and a document:
.. code-block:: python
file = client.upload_file('photo.jpg')
client.send_file(chat, file) # sends as photo
client.send_file(chat, file, force_document=True) # sends as document
file.name = 'not a photo.jpg'
client.send_file(chat, file, force_document=True) # document, new name
Or, the example described before:
.. code-block:: python
file = client.upload_file('song.ogg')
client.send_file(chat, file) # sends as song
client.send_file(chat, file, voice_note=True) # sends as voice note
The ``file`` returned by `client.upload_file
<telethon.client.uploads.UploadMethods.upload_file>` represents the uploaded
file, not an immutable document (that's why the attributes can change, because
they are set later). This handle can be used only for a limited amount of time
(somewhere within a day). Telegram decides this limit and it is not public.
However, a day is often more than enough.
