I’m stuck with a problem in my Telegram bot project. Here’s what’s going on:
bot.send_message(chat_id, "<strong>Account Balance:</strong>", parse_mode=telegram.ParseMode.HTML)
This code throws an error:
AttributeError: module 'telegram' has no attribute 'ParseMode'
I’ve already installed these packages:
- pyTelegramBotAPI
- python-decouple
- python-telegram-bot
Am I missing something? Do I need to install or import anything else? I’m pretty new to Telegram bots, so any advice would be great. Thanks in advance for your help!
hey man, sounds like u got ur libraries mixed up. i had the same issue before. try using parse_mode=‘HTML’ instead of telegram.ParseMode.HTML. that should fix it for pyTelegramBotAPI. if it dont work, lemme know and we can troubleshoot more
I’ve been down this road before, and I feel your frustration. The issue you’re facing is a common one when working with Telegram bots. From what I can see, you’re mixing up different library syntaxes. For the pyTelegramBotAPI library, which it seems you’re using based on the bot.send_message() method, you don’t need to use telegram.ParseMode.HTML.
Instead, try this approach:
bot.send_message(chat_id, ‘Account Balance:’, parse_mode=‘HTML’)
This should resolve the AttributeError you’re encountering. If you’re still having issues, double-check your imports. Make sure you’re importing telebot, not telegram. Also, ensure you’re using consistent syntax throughout your code for the library you’ve chosen.
Remember, when working with Telegram bots, it’s crucial to stick to one library and its corresponding syntax to avoid these kinds of conflicts. Hope this helps you get your bot up and running!
It looks like you’re mixing up different Telegram bot libraries. The error suggests you’re trying to use telegram.ParseMode, which is from the python-telegram-bot library, but your code snippet uses bot.send_message(), which is typically from the pyTelegramBotAPI library (also known as telebot).
For pyTelegramBotAPI, you should use parse_mode='HTML' instead. Try this:
bot.send_message(chat_id, '<strong>Account Balance:</strong>', parse_mode='HTML')
If you want to stick with python-telegram-bot, you’ll need to adjust your entire code to use that library’s syntax. Make sure you’re consistent with the library you’re using throughout your project to avoid these conflicts.
