Dependent on way of invoking.

When I run it as

telegram_bot.py

it works well, but if I do

python telegram_bot.py

it fails. Can this be fixed?…

Would you mind posting the error message? Thanks so much

It repeats the same thing infinitely:

Sorry for that incorrect coding at last line, I have Russian windows and it has some troubles with cyrillic in console.

Did you modify apikey.csv? You get a key from BotFather on Telegram.

[agincel]

You need to replace the dummy key in there with a valid one

[vort3]

I replaced a key with one I got from @BotFather , and it works perfectly if I invoke script as "telegram_bot.py". I get error only when use "python.exe telegram_bot.py". Notice "python.exe" at beginning :-)

[agincel]

I'm only confused because the only way of running it is with "python.exe telegram_bot.py"

Running it without specifying Python shouldn't do much of anything.

The only other troubleshooting thing I can suggest right now is a silly question: the device you're running the bot on is connected to the internet, right?

[vort3]

Of course :-) That's not a big problem for now, I run it with "telegram_bot.py" and it works fine. But something is wrong with that…

[agincel]

As long as it works for you. When you run it the other way it works as intended? You can send a message (try /ping) to a chat with the bot and it replies?

[vort3]

Yep, bot works and does everything without any problems, as intended.
