Start a bot

1. Obtain Telegram API keys if you don't have them. Go to https://my.telegram.org and register an app. You may fill in any data, it doesn't really matter. You may register an app only once and always reuse it afterwards.

2. Register a bot. Open @BotFather and follow the instructions. You will get the token to control the bot.

3. Type the code:

   (example)

4. Run the app.

Reload the app when edited

WARNING

This is an experimental feature: it may break.

If your program is a Python module (which means a directory with __init__.py,) you can run it with the command:

python -m paper.reload app

Now, your program will restart every time you change files in the app directory.

Session

There is a special Telethon bot session file that is stored in .folds/bot12345.session by default.
