A microframework for Telegram bots

botogram is a MIT-licensed microframework, which aims to simplify the creation of Telegram bots. It offers a concise, simple API, which allows you to spend all your creativity in the bot, without worrying about anything else.

It also provides a robust, fully scalable bot runner process, which will be able to process fastly high workloads. And as if this isn't enough, it has builtin support for commands, with an automatically-generated /help command.

import botogram
bot = botogram.create("YOUR-API-KEY")

@bot.command("hello")
def hello_command(chat, message, args):
    """Say hello to the world!"""
    chat.send("Hello world")

bot.run()

You can find the documentation at botogram.pietroalbini.io.

botogram is currently in development, so a release doesn't exist yet.
But if you want to install it anyway, you can clone the repository and install it with setuptools. Be sure to have Python 3, pip and setuptools installed:

$ git clone https://github.com/pietroalbini/botogram.git
$ cd botogram
$ pip install .

On some Linux systems you might need to wrap the pip install command with sudo, if you don't have root privileges.
