Bot.edit_message_text accepts any ReplyMarkup, while the Telegram Bot API only accepts InlineKeyboardMarkup

[pguenth]

When using bot.edit_message_text, I tried sending a ReplyKeyboard:

context.bot.edit_message_text("Login successful", chat_id = update.effective_chat.id, message_id = msg.message_id, reply_markup = gen_stdkeyboard())

where gen_stdkeyboard() returns a ReplyKeyboardMarkup object.

Executing raised following error:

  File "tg.py", line 253, in check_registered
    context.bot.edit_message_text("Login successful", chat_id = update.effective_chat.id, message_id = msg.message_id, reply_markup = gen_stdkeyboard())

    result = self._request.post(url, data, timeout=timeout)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/telegram/utils/request.py", line 323, in post
    result = self._request_wrapper('POST', url,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/telegram/utils/request.py", line 237, in _request_wrapper
    raise BadRequest(message)
telegram.error.BadRequest: Inline keyboard expected

I think it is an inconsistency of this module, correct me if I am wrong.

Well, it will accept anything. If you pass it an int it will raise the same error. However I do think the docs need ot be updated to be equal to the official api
