Community-based extensions for the python-telegram-bot library.
This library provides extensions for the python-telegram-bot library written and maintained by the community of PTB users.
Installing
Because this library is subject to more frequent changes than PTB, it is not available via PyPi. You can still install it via pip:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/ptbcontrib.git
If you want to use an extension that has some special requirements, you can install them on the fly as e.g.
$ pip install "ptbcontrib[extension1,extension2] @ git+https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/ptbcontrib.git"
Or you can install from source with:
$ git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/ptbcontrib
$ cd ptbcontrib
$ python setup.py install
