Telethon ======== .. epigraph:: ⭐️ 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.

Doing stuff ----------- .. code:: python print(me.stringify()) client.send_message('username', 'Hello! Talking to you from Telethon') client.send_file('username', '/home/myself/Pictures/holidays.jpg') client.download_profile_photo(me) messages = client.get_message_history('username') client.download_media(messages[0]) Next steps ---------- Do you like how Telethon looks?
