Lonami Exo ab07f0220a Save dc_id instead layer and salt in the session file
Server salts change every 30 minutes after all, so keeping them
in the long-term storage session file doesn't make much sense.

Saving the layer doesn't make sense either, as it was only used
to know whether to init connection or not, but it should be done
always.

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. Remember to use **pip3** to install!

Installing
----------

.. code:: sh

  pip 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'
  phone = '+34600000000'

  client = TelegramClient('session_name', api_id, api_hash)
  client.connect()

  # If you already have a previous 'session_name.session' file, skip this.
  client.sign_in(phone=phone)
  me = client.sign_in(code=77777)  # Put whatever code you received here.


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)
  total, messages, senders = client.get_message_history('username')
  client.download_media(messages[0])
