PyPI out of date | echobot2 example not working with PyPI version #418
Description
After installing python-telegram-bot through pip, the example code doesn't run. Specifically, the examples now use
update.message.reply_text('Hi!')
to send messages, while the version in PyPI still needs
bot.sendMessage(update.message.chat_id, text='Hi!')
I suggest that
- the PyPI package should be updated to reflect the latest version of this library
- instructions for installing from source should be added to README.md
Steps to reproduce
- pip install python-telegram-bot
- create echobot2 and insert code from examples folder
- python echobot2.py
- send message to bot
Expected behaviour
echobot should reply with same message
Actual behaviour
echo bot throws error
(test) nsbot@nstravel:~/git/NSGroupTickets/NSBot$ python echobot2.py
