I’ve developed a basic Telegram bot based on a tutorial I came across. I have a Python script that makes the bot repeat my messages. I’m wondering if the bot can only function while the Python script is executing. Does that imply I can’t run other Python scripts simultaneously, nor can I terminate the Python session if I wish for my bot to remain operational? Is there a method to ensure that the bot remains active regardless of whether the Python environment is running?
You can try deploying your bot on services like Heroku or AWS; they keep it running 24/7. Also, using tools like pm2 to manage scripts in the background on your server can be a good option, it helps to restart if it crashes too! Hope that helps
