JobQueue Telebot

JobQueue Telebot is a Python library for running async tasks in a Telegram bot using the python-telegram-bot library. It allows you to schedule and execute tasks in a separate thread, freeing up the main thread for handling user input and other interactive features.

Installation

You can install JobQueue Telebot using pip:

pip install jobqueue-telebot

Usage

To use JobQueue Telebot, you must first import the necessary classes:

from jobqueue_telebot import JobQueue, Job

Then, you can create an instance of the JobQueue class:

job_queue = JobQueue(bot)

Where bot is an instance of the telegram.Bot class.

You can then create a Job instance for each task you want to schedule:

job = Job(callback_function, args=[arg1, arg2], when=10)

Where callback_function is the function you want to execute, args is a list of arguments to pass to the function, and when is the number of seconds to wait before executing the task.

Finally, you can add the job to the job queue:

job_queue.add_job(job)

Example

Here's an example of a Telegram bot using JobQueue Telebot:

from telegram.ext import Updater, CommandHandler
from jobqueue_telebot import JobQueue, Job

def callback_function(bot, job):
    bot.send_message(chat_id=job.context['chat_id'], text='Hello, World!')

def hello(update, context):
    job = Job(callback_function, args=[update.message.chat.id], context={'chat_id': update.message.chat.id}, when=10)
    context.job_queue.add_job(job)

updater = Updater(token='YOUR_TOKEN_HERE', use_context=True)
dispatcher = updater.dispatcher

job_queue = JobQueue(updater.bot)

dispatcher.add_handler(CommandHandler('hello', hello))

updater.start_polling()

This bot will respond to the /hello command by scheduling a job to send a message 10 seconds later.
