Attempting to run my Telegram bot script results in an installation warning and module import error. How do I resolve this?
user@pc:~/bot_samples$ python simple_bot.py
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/py_telegram_bot-8.0-py2.7.egg/tgbot/utils/network.py:40: Warning: py_telegram_bot not installed correctly. See README.txt

ImportError: No module named tgbot_core
hey try reinstalling the bot modules. sometimes its a python version issue so pip3 might work bettr. check if tgbot_core is properly installed and the versions match up. hope it helps!
I encountered a similar error while working on my own bot. In my case, the root issue was a mismatch between the installed module version and the interpreter being used. I resolved it by creating a new virtual environment and reinstalling the bot modules with the correct pip command for the specific python version. It also helped to double-check the module names against those mentioned in the official documentation. Ensuring consistency between module versions and your running environment usually prevents these kinds of import errors.
I ran into a similar problem some time ago and found that the environment was the culprit. The issue was that remnants of an old package installation were interfering with new module paths. I completely removed the previous installations and set up a fresh environment using Python3, which resolved the conflicts. In my case, creating an isolated virtual environment and installing the bot modules from scratch ensured that there were no legacy library paths causing the import error for tgbot_core. It took a bit of effort, but the clean slate worked perfectly.
hey i fixed mine by cleaning out the old pacakges and reinstalling them via pip3 in a new virtual env. it sorted out the module conflict because tgbot_core was mis-detected. try updating your paths and use the right pip for your python version. luck!
In my experience, resolving import errors like the one involving tgbot_core often comes down to verifying the installation paths and ensuring the interpreter is correctly aligned with your module installations. I encountered a similar issue when remnants of an older package installation interfered with the new ones. I solved it by removing legacy installations, carefully following the project’s README for version-specific commands, and using the correct pip for my target Python version. This approach helped ensure that the imports correspond to the right package directories, thereby preventing discrepancies that lead to such errors.
