I’m having trouble with my Telegram bot code. I’ve tried several approaches and different connections but can’t resolve the issue. The main problem is that the packages aren’t connecting properly.
When I try to use things like CommandHandler, CallbackQueryHandler, or MessageHandler, I get an error saying they’re not accessible. For example, I see:
"CommandHandler" is not accessed
Pylance
This happens even though I’m sure I’ve imported everything correctly. I’ve double-checked my imports and connections, but the error persists.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or know what might be causing this? I’m wondering if it could be a problem with my Python environment or if I’m missing something obvious in my setup. Any suggestions for troubleshooting or fixing this would be really helpful.
I ran into a similar issue with my Telegram bot recently. It turned out the problem was related to my IDE’s linting settings, not the actual code.
Have you tried running your script directly from the command line? If it works there but not in your IDE, it’s likely a configuration problem.
Another thing to check is your python-telegram-bot version. They made some significant changes in v20, so make sure your imports match the version you’re using. For older versions, you’d import from telegram.ext, while newer ones use from telegram.ext import *.
If those don’t help, try creating a fresh virtual environment and reinstalling your dependencies. Sometimes package conflicts can cause weird issues like this.
Lastly, double-check that you’re not accidentally shadowing any built-in names or importing something incorrectly. It’s easy to miss small typos that can cause big headaches.
yo, i had this exact problem last week! so annoying. turns out my venv was messed up. try deletin it and makin a new one. then pip install python-telegram-bot again. fixed it for me. if that dont work, maybe check ur python version? some older versions dont play nice with the new telegram stuff
I’ve encountered this issue before, and it’s often related to IDE configuration rather than the code itself.
First, ensure you’re using the correct import statements for your python-telegram-bot version. For v20+, it’s ‘from telegram.ext import CommandHandler, CallbackQueryHandler, MessageHandler’.
If that doesn’t resolve it, try disabling and re-enabling your Python language server in your IDE settings. Sometimes a simple restart can fix these linting errors.
Another approach is to use type hinting in your code. Add ‘from telegram.ext import CommandHandler’ at the top of your file, then use CommandHandler as a type hint in your function definitions. This can help the IDE recognize the imports correctly.
If all else fails, consider switching to a different IDE temporarily to isolate whether it’s an environment issue or a code problem.
