Since uploading a file is done on the TelegramClient, and the InputFiles are only valid for a short period of time, it only makes sense to cache the sent media instead (which should not expire). The problem is the MD5 is only needed when uploading the file. The solution is to allow this method to check for the wanted cache, and if available, return an instance of that, so to preserve the flexibility of both options (always InputFile, or the cached InputPhoto/InputDocument) instead reuploading. |

⭐️ 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!
What is this?
-------------
Telegram is a popular messaging application. This library is meant
to make it easy for you to write Python programs that can interact
with Telegram. Think of it as a wrapper that has already done the
heavy job for you, so you can focus on developing an application.
Installing
----------
.. code:: sh
pip3 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'
client = TelegramClient('session_name', api_id, api_hash)
client.start()
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])
