You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
contain the root `toctree` directive.
====================================
Welcome to Telethon's documentation!
====================================
Pure Python 3 Telegram client library.
Official Site `here <https://lonamiwebs.github.io/Telethon>`_.
Please follow the links on the index below to navigate from here,
or use the menu on the left. Remember to read the :ref:`changelog`
when you upgrade!
.. important::
If you're new here, you want to read :ref:`getting-started`. If you're
looking for the method reference, you should check :ref:`telethon-client`.
The mentioned :ref:`telethon-client` is an important section and it
contains the friendly methods that **you should use** most of the time.
.. note::
The library uses `asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html>`_
by default, but you if you don't know how to use ``asyncio`` you can use
`a simpler version <https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/tree/sync>`_
(select the "sync" version in ``readthedocs``' bottom left corner).
However, **you are encouraged to use asyncio**, it will make your scripts
faster and more powerful. :ref:`asyncio-crash-course` will teach you why
``asyncio`` is good and how to use it.
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.
