PyTG

A Python package that wraps around Telegram messenger CLI.

Installation

PyTG requires a patched copy of Telegram messenger CLI to make message parsing feasible. To install the patched Telegram messenger CLI:

Clone GitHub Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/efaisal/tg.git && cd tg

or download and extract zip

$ wget https://github.com/efaisal/tg/archive/master.zip -O tg.zip
$ tar xzf tg.zip && cd tg

Then, run

$ ./configure

or

$ ./configure --disable-liblua

if you don't want Lua support.

Next, run

$ make

Telegram messenger CLI has its own dependencies. See https://github.com/efaisal/tg for details.

Once you build successfully, try to run

$ ./telegram

Register your client, if required. Please note that PyTG does not support client registration yet.

Now you are ready to install PyTG

Clone GitHub Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/efaisal/pytg.git && cd pytg && python setup.py install

or download and extract zip

$ wget https://github.com/efaisal/pytg/archive/master.zip -O pytg.zip
