Hi,

I'm trying to run telebot from within a class, though the decorators don't seem to work from within. I have:

def __init__(self, message):

        self.bot = telebot.TeleBot(token='XXXXXXXX')

@bot.message_handler(commands=['help', 'start'])
    def start(self):
          pass

But if I put "@self.bot" it doesn't work either.

Does anyone have a solution? thanks!

    def __init__(self, message):
        self.bot = telebot.TeleBot(token='XXXXXXXX')

        # Handle /start command
        @self.bot.message_handler(commands=["start"])
        def _process_command_start(message):
            self.process_command_start(message)

    def process_command_start(self, message)
        ...

Me too looked any soluction for this problem. Try this:

class TestBot:

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.bot: telebot.TeleBot = telebot.TeleBot(os.getenv('BOT_TOKEN'))
        self.init_commands()  # this method initialize my commands

    def start(self):
        self.bot.infinity_polling()

    def init_commands(self):
        """Initialize methods to represent bot commands"""
        self.help = self.bot.message_handler(commands=['help'])(self.help_command)
        self.test = self.bot.message_handler(commands=['test'])(self.test_command)

    # Commands bellow
    def help_command(self, message: types.Message):
        self.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat.id, text="Help!")

    def test_command(self, message: types.Message):
        self.bot.send_message(chat_id=message.chat.id, text=message.text)

TestBot().start()

the method init_commands run some instructions:

self.help = self.bot.message_handler(commands=['help'])(self.help_command)

It will create a method help() decorated by self.bot.message_handler and passing self.help_command reference that is a real action for help command.

You can use this approach for your commands
