Hello,
I have just tried to setup a client but i'm receiving an import error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'TelegramClient'

I installed telethon module with pip3 and tried to run the script with python 3.
Is there something I'm missing here?

Thank you in advance!

My code is very simple only have the next lines:

client = TelegramClient('pantic', api_id, api_hash)
client.start()

I see, documentation (and README.rst) are wrong. You must specify phone on .start(), I will change it.

If you're installing from GitHub you must run python3 setup.py gen_tl as detailed on the fourth step:

  1. Run the code generator: python3 setup.py gen_tl

I've installed it with pip, shoudn't it happen automatically then?

With pip, but from GitHub, right?

@basnijholt

Yes.

@Lonami

Lonami commented Jan 15, 2018

Well, I thought of adding the line that calls the code generator in setup.py. But that may cause trouble/code didn't look too good with it, so I wasn't sure.

@basnijholt
Copy link

basnijholt commented Jan 15, 2018

Ah, I just took a look at setup.py. I've never seen any Python package before where doing pip install ... doesn't do the building.

@Lonami
Copy link
Member

Lonami commented Jan 15, 2018

Thing is I don't ship the code generator to PyPi so if I tried running setup.py install and it called the generator from a PyPi install it would fail. So it needs additional checks that make it look odd.

@basnijholt

I understand your logic, but for the user it's confusing.

Another solution might be improving the error message, like raising some Exception and with a message about running your gen_tl code.

I have same issue:

andrei@andrei-dev:~/Documents/Telegram$ python /home/andrei/Documents/Telegram/telethon.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/andrei/Documents/Telegram/telethon.py", line 1, in <module> from telethon import TelegramClient File "/home/andrei/Documents/Telegram/telethon.py", line 1, in <module> from telethon import TelegramClient ImportError: cannot import name TelegramClient

Code I use to start client is:

`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 = *****
api_hash = ''
phone = '+
'

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.`

Thank you.

Had to disable anaconda environment now it seems to work fine.

Except I do not know what kind of username I have to write in my script:

for message in client.get_message_history('username', limit=25):
client.download_media(message)

username=chat name of telegram desktop app of the chat I would like to download messages from??
with empty spaces???

I figured it somehow out and it works username = chatname however saved messages seems not to work:

....
for message in client.get_messages('Saved Messages', limit=80):
client.download_media(message)

python3 multi_img.py

@zhxiaohe why did you post this in a completely unrelated issue? Also, Read the F* Docs. I'm pretty sure the error has a link, and if it doesn't, you're using an old version.

To everyone still coming to this issue, please check your Python environment and that you correctly installed the library in the right environment. For more questions, you should search and then ask in StackOverflow or the @TelethonChat group.
