Why we included this project

Most Python teams building Telegram bots start here, and for good reason. The library wraps the full Telegram Bot API in an async interface, so you get commands, inline queries, callbacks, and media handling without writing your own HTTP layer. Its handler-based design keeps conversational flows easy to wire up, and since it is pure Python with no heavy dependencies, it runs fine on a small VPS or a serverless function. The docs and community examples cover the patterns people actually hit, whether you are shipping a customer-facing assistant, a notification bot, or a simple command bot with AI responses layered on top.
