String-based Debugging
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Debugging is *really* important. Telegram's API is really big and there
|
|
is a lot of things that you should know. Such as, what attributes or fields
|
|
does a result have? Well, the easiest thing to do is printing it:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
user = client.get_entity('Lonami')
|
|
print(user)
|
|
|
|
That will show a huge **string** similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
User(id=10885151, is_self=False, contact=False, mutual_contact=False, deleted=False, bot=False, bot_chat_history=False, bot_nochats=False, verified=False, restricted=False, min=False, bot_inline_geo=False, access_hash=123456789012345678, first_name='Lonami', last_name=None, username='Lonami', phone=None, photo=UserProfilePhoto(photo_id=123456789012345678, photo_small=FileLocation(dc_id=4, volume_id=1234567890, local_id=1234567890, secret=123456789012345678), photo_big=FileLocation(dc_id=4, volume_id=1234567890, local_id=1234567890, secret=123456789012345678)), status=UserStatusOffline(was_online=datetime.datetime(2018, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)), bot_info_version=None, restriction_reason=None, bot_inline_placeholder=None, lang_code=None)
|
|
|
|
That's a lot of text. But as you can see, all the properties are there.
|
|
So if you want the username you **don't use regex** or anything like
|
|
splitting ``str(user)`` to get what you want. You just access the
|
|
attribute you need:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
username = user.username
|
|
|
|
Can we get better than the shown string, though? Yes!
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
print(user.stringify())
|
|
|
|
Will show a much better:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
User(
|
|
id=10885151,
|
|
is_self=False,
|
|
contact=False,
|
|
mutual_contact=False,
|
|
deleted=False,
|
|
bot=False,
|
|
bot_chat_history=False,
|
|
bot_nochats=False,
|
|
verified=False,
|
|
restricted=False,
|
|
min=False,
|
|
bot_inline_geo=False,
|
|
access_hash=123456789012345678,
|
|
first_name='Lonami',
|
|
last_name=None,
|
|
username='Lonami',
|
|
phone=None,
|
|
photo=UserProfilePhoto(
|
|
photo_id=123456789012345678,
|
|
photo_small=FileLocation(
|
|
dc_id=4,
|
|
volume_id=123456789,
|
|
local_id=123456789,
|
|
secret=-123456789012345678
|
|
),
|
|
photo_big=FileLocation(
|
|
dc_id=4,
|
|
volume_id=123456789,
|
|
local_id=123456789,
|
|
secret=123456789012345678
|
|
)
|
|
),
|
|
status=UserStatusOffline(
|
|
was_online=datetime.datetime(2018, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
|
|
),
|
|
bot_info_version=None,
|
|
restriction_reason=None,
|
|
bot_inline_placeholder=None,
|
|
lang_code=None
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
Now it's easy to see how we could get, for example,
|
|
the ``was_online`` time. It's inside ``status``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
online_at = user.status.was_online
|
|
|
|
You don't need to print everything to see what all the possible values
|
|
can be. You can just search in http://lonamiwebs.github.io/Telethon/.
|
|
|
|
Remember that you can use Python's `isinstance
|
|
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#isinstance>`_
|
|
to check the type of something. For example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from telethon import types
|
|
|
|
if isinstance(user.status, types.UserStatusOffline):
|
|
print(user.status.was_online)
|
