I Need your Help. i can´t start my script.

import pytg
from pytg import Telegram
from pytg.sender import Sender
from pytg.receiver import Receiver
receiver = Receiver(host="localhost", port=4458)
sender = Sender(host="localhost", port=4458)

tg = Telegram(telegram='/root/telegram-bot/tg/bin/telegram-cli', pubkey_file='/root/telegram-bot/tg/tg-server.pub')
receiver = tg.receiver
sender = tg.sender

sender.send_msg('*******', "Hello World!")

Sorry for my Bad English

I want to Send a Message, when a sensor is false. i only Need the code to send the Message.

[luckydonald]

The failing part is the --permanent-peer-ids parameter (introduced in bca30085a8a34a3363b278b65261afcd013013c2) This was introduced recently.

You have currently 2 options:

1: Update telegram-cli

This requires the telegram CLI from the test branch

git clone -b test --recursive https://github.com/vysheng/tg.git tg-dev
cd tg-dev
# Now follow the normal compiling instructions.

or

2: Downgrade pytg

If you want instead to use the normal CLI, the last compatible pytg release seems to be v0.4.5, You can install that either from source (zip) or with pip install pytg==0.4.5

---

Time of writing this: pytg@ed8d62, v0.4.8 and tg@160231 (test)

[luckydonald]

If you just want to send a message, the 2nd option is probably easier.

[Conny225]

Iam a very bad programmer pls help me agian

[luckydonald]

can't find the user telegramd to switch to

It tries to run with unix user telegramd, but doesn't find such user.

You did probably start the cli with such parameter:

--username <user-name>/-U <user-name>            change uid after start

[Conny225]

But why Telegramd? Where i can Change it?

[luckydonald]

Huh, I was assuming you set it.

Can you post the output of your program when you turn on logging?

# add this to the first lines in your file, before using pytg
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

[luckydonald]

It gets the -k /root/telegram-b parameter, that is the problem. That is the Public Key you specified.

# location
tg/tg-server.pub  # the key file. 
tg/server.pub      # this one is possible too.
tg/bin/telegram-cli  # the executable.

In your case probably located in /root/telegram-bot/tg/server.pub.

You can verify yourself, if the cli will run, or the error is in pytg, by executing the stuff directly behind Starting Telegram Executable:. Also please wrap the code in code blocks, that improves readability even more.

```python
YOUR CODE
```

[luckydonald]

Meaning the pubkey_file parameter of Telegram( ... ) should probably be: pubkey_file="/root/telegram-bot/tg/server.pub"

[Conny225]

After trying too start it with this Parameters,

-R -W -P 4458 -k /root/telegram-b

it stuck at this Point.

Loading plugin location Loading plugin media Loading plugin plugins Loading plugin channels Loading plugin set Loading plugin stats Loading plugin time Loading plugin version Loading plugin weather Loading plugin xkcd Loading plugin youtube Data loaded from file data/google.lua

[luckydonald]

That certainly is not coming from pytg or the telegram-cli. What bot are you using? Also, google.lua indicates you are using lua, but this is using python.

[Conny225]

i didnt use any bot. I only want to use my bot

[luckydonald]

You are loading plugins, that was your log said. both pytg and the cli have no such plugins. You need to find where they come from, they are not part of pytg.

[ziban]

I get the same errors too.

[luckydonald]

Maybe it is the CLI then... Strange... Did you disable lua support while running configure?

[ziban]

I moved on to Ubuntu, and downgraded the version of pytg to make it work.

[luckydonald]

@ziban please help me locate that issue. What was your system before? Did you disable liblua?

[ziban]

I was on mac. To reproduce the error, use Python 2.7.10, and install it using the standard instructions. I downgraded and also installed the test version but it did not work. The only thing I did not do was disable liblua. I will try to do that today during the day (2 a.m right now)

[luckydonald]

It seems ou already tried https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/1014 and https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/996 Yeah, timezones are a stange invention...

[luckydonald]

@ziban you could try my compiled binary: tg binaries

[ziban]

I could not make the binaries to work too. The error I got was dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.6.dylib Referenced from: /Users/collo/Desktop/Classwork/COMP150INT/project/tg/bin/telegram-cli Reason: image not found Trace/BPT trap: 5.
Let me try to disable liblua and see how it would respond

[ziban]

I still get the initial error when I disable liblua.

[luckydonald]

@ziban I think that is libreadline as seen in https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/199#issuecomment-66763098

[Nanoseb]

This issue is no longer relevant because the dev branch of telegram-cli have been merged to master.

[luckydonald]

@Nanoseb thanks for the note.

[youngeunkwon]

Did you guys solved this problem? same problem plz help :( I started this

from pytg.sender import Sender

sender = Sender(host="localhost",port=4458) sender.send_msg("youngeun_kwon","hello")

and here is the error.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "msgtest.py", line 5, in sender.send_msg("youngeun_kwon","hello") File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 630, in command_alias File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 274, in execute_function File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 414, in _validate_input ValueError: Error in function send_msg: parameter #1 is not type UnicodeString. (Not a string.)

[luckydonald]

You need unicode. You have 3 options:

• use python 3
• use unicode strings sender.send_msg(u"youngeun_kwon",u"hello")
• use unicode strings automatically from __future__ import unicode_literals

[youngeunkwon]

from pytg.sender import Sender

sender = Sender(host="localhost",port=4458) sender.send_msg(u"youngeun_kwon",u"hello")

u mean like this?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "msgtest.py", line 5, in sender.send_msg(u"youngeun_kwon",u"hello") File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 630, in command_alias File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 318, in execute_function File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 485, in _do_send pytg.exceptions.ConnectionError: Could not establish connection to the cli port, failed after 3 tries.

I got this :(

[luckydonald]

@youngeunkwon This means, you don't have a CLI connected. Did you run telegram from the code? Like in the Documentation: https://github.com/luckydonald/pytg#start-telegram

[youngeunkwon]

I know I have to start telegram-cli in json mode port 4458, but I don't know how

[luckydonald]

@youngeunkwon You can let it run on default, and turn on logging. to see how it will be launched: https://github.com/luckydonald/pytg#in-case-of-errors

[youngeunkwon]

from pytg import Telegram tg = Telegram( telegram="/home/pi/tg/bin/telegram-cli", pubkey_file="/home/pi/tg/tg-server.pub") receiver = tg.receiver sender = tg.sender

from pytg.sender import Sender

sender = Sender(host="localhost",port=4458) sender.send_msg(u"youngeun_kwon",u"hello")

start Telegram-cli like this? I got

Traceback (most recent call last): File "msgtest.py", line 11, in sender.send_msg(u"youngeun_kwon",u"hello") File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 630, in command_alias File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 354, in execute_function pytg.exceptions.FailException: Error 38: u'can not parse arg #1' (command u"[disable_preview] msg youngeun_kwon 'hello'\n")

[luckydonald]

@youngeunkwon If you start the CLI manually again, with the command arguments as seen in the debug mode, does sending it manually in the CLI work? So msg youngeun_kwon "hello"?

you mean this? Yeah this works

[luckydonald]

You can probably try to replace youngeun_kwon with chat#281895569 (id of peer) or @ yskwon (username).

[youngeunkwon]

from pytg import Telegram tg = Telegram( telegram="/home/pi/tg/bin/telegram-cli", pubkey_file="/home/pi/tg/tg-server.pub") receiver = tg.receiver sender = tg.sender

from pytg.sender import Sender

sender = Sender(host="localhost",port=4458) sender.send_msg(u"chat#281895569",u"hello")

u mean this? I got this

Traceback (most recent call last): File "msgtest.py", line 11, in <module> sender.send_msg(u"chat#281895569",u"hello") File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 630, in command_alias File "build/bdist.linux-armv7l/egg/pytg/sender.py", line 354, in execute_function pytg.exceptions.FailException: Error 38: u'can not parse arg #1' (command u"[disable_preview] msg chat#281895569 'hello'\n")

[luckydonald]

Could you try [disable_preview] msg chat#281895569 'hello' manually again?

[youngeunkwon]

msg chat#28185569 'hello' {"error": "can not parse arg #1", "result": "FAIL", "error_code": 38}

like this?

[luckydonald]

huh. maybe it is chatid#28185569 now. Try [disable_preview] msg youngeun_kwon 'hello' With the [disable_preview] part

[youngeunkwon]

msg youngeun_kwon 'hello' {"event": "message", "id": "010000009162cd10890000000000000006a4c20e3fb5f96c", "from": {"id": "$010000009162cd1006a4c20e3fb5f96c", "peer_type": "user", "peer_id": 281895569, "print_name": "youngeun_kwon", "first_name": "youngeun", "flags": 720897, "last_name": "kwon", "phone": "821029061008", "username": "yskwon"}, "flags": 16643, "text": "hello", "to": {"id": "$010000009162cd1006a4c20e3fb5f96c", "peer_type": "user", "peer_id": 281895569, "print_name": "youngeun_kwon", "first_name": "youngeun", "flags": 720897, "last_name": "kwon", "phone": "821029061008", "username": "yskwon"}, "out": true, "unread": true, "service": false, "date": 1478392342} {"result": "SUCCESS"}

weird. it works

[youngeunkwon]

but this doesn't hmm... I can't understand

[luckydonald]

This means something in the cli might have changed, rendering [disable_preview] unusable. Please open a new issue with that.

[luckydonald]

It actually still seems to exist in the cli. interface.c:2248

[youngeunkwon]

Then you mean I can't make it work?

[luckydonald]

I don't know. As I am not using the CLI anywhere anymore (switched to using the bot api with pytgbot) I can't really help in detail, sorry. Still, maybe you can keep us updated on your findings?

[youngeunkwon]

Sure. I'm a highschool student and I'm doing a little project I want to talk with bot messenger to send me some pictures of my house or text me for gas stove alarms. can you recommend me some other ways to make my project work?

[youngeunkwon]

And thx for your advise though.

[luckydonald]

@youngeunkwon Yeah, if the bot api is available to you, try that instead. The mentioned pytgbot library. If you need help with that, just join me on telegram: https://telegram.me/pytg_group
