I’m working on a basic telegram bot using Python, but I’m encountering a problem when I try to run my script. After executing it, I see an error message regarding an unexpected keyword argument. Here’s my code so far:
import logging
from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters
# Configure logging
logging.basicConfig(format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s', level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def start_bot(update, context):
"""Respond to the /start command."""
update.message.reply_text('Hello!')
def assist(update, context):
"""Respond to the /assist command."""
update.message.reply_text('How can I help you?')
def echo_response(update, context):
"""Repeat the user’s message."""
update.message.reply_text(update.message.text)
def log_errors(update, context):
"""Log any errors that occur."""
logger.warning('Update "%s" caused error "%s"', update, context.error)
def start_bot_process():
"""Initialize the bot and start it."""
updater_instance = Updater("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN", use_context=True)
dispatcher_instance = updater_instance.dispatcher
dispatcher_instance.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start_bot))
dispatcher_instance.add_handler(CommandHandler("assist", assist))
dispatcher_instance.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.text, echo_response))
dispatcher_instance.add_error_handler(log_errors)
updater_instance.start_polling()
updater_instance.idle()
if __name__ == '__main__':
start_bot_process()
The error I’m receiving is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bot_example.py", line 44, in <module>
start_bot_process()
File "bot_example.py", line 24, in start_bot_process
updater_instance = Updater("YOUR_BOT_TOKEN", use_context=True)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_context'
Can anyone help me understand what might be going wrong? Thank you!
