[python-telegram-bot] How can I get a bot to receive two messages without looping through the MessageHandler function?
Here is a simple telegram bot I made:

import logging from telegram.ext import ApplicationBuilder, ContextTypes, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, filters from telegram import Update from recommend_book import recommend_book import os with open('.token', 'r') as f: token = f.readlines()[0].strip() # info for the book to get recommendation for id = [] title = [] logging.basicConfig( format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s', level=logging.INFO ) async def start(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE): await context.bot.send_message( text = 'Search for your book here: http://192.168.0.23:5454 and send me the ID', chat_id = update.effective_chat.id ) async def get_book(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE): id.append(update.message.text) await context.bot.send_message( text = 'What is the title of the book?', chat_id = update.effective_chat.id ) title.append(update.message.text) await recommend_book(title[0], id[0]) await context.bot.send_message( text = '/recommendation', chat_id = update.effective_chat.id ) async def recommendation(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE): with open(f'recommendation.txt', 'r') as f: book = f.readlines()[0] await context.bot.send_message( text = book, chat_id = update.effective_chat.id ) os.remove('recommendation.txt') while title: title.pop() while id: id.pop() if __name__ == '__main__': application = ApplicationBuilder().token(token).build() start_handler = CommandHandler('start', start) application.add_handler(start_handler) recommendation_handler = CommandHandler('recommendation', recommendation) application.add_handler(recommendation_handler) book_handler = MessageHandler(filters.TEXT, get_book) application.add_handler(book_handler) application.run_polling() 

The bot has someone open a database of books and choose a book they like and send the bot the id. Then the bot sends them a recommendation for a similar book. It requires the user to send both an id and title for the book.The flow is as such.

1) user sends '/start' command 2) bot responds with link to database 3) user sends the id (an integer) 4) bot responds asking for the title 5) user sends the title (a string) 6) bot responds with a link to the '/recommendation' command 7) user clicks '/recommendation' command 8) bot sends the title of a book as a recommendation (a string) 

The only issue is that when the bot receives any text it calls get_book()
. The user sends the id and the bot receives it and saves it to id[0]
but then it calls get_book()
again in response to the text the user sent as the id. This means the bot never receives the title and therefore the recommend_book()
function fails.I need the bot to accept the first text message as the id and the second text message as the title. It should only call get_book()
in response to the initial text (the id).What am I doing wrong?

I want to change the order of the accounts on nicegram

It is the right time for Telegram to implement AI like chatGPT into a Bot that is capable of answering most of my questions. it will be the best thing a Premium user can get.
As we are entering the AI pandemic and language model, it will be a pleasure not to search for answers in a web browser and have the ability to do that inside Telegram. how do i convince the world this is the most awesome idea?

Telegram desktop does not open on certain networks
I can use telegram desktop when I'm connected to my home wifi and when I use the hotspot of my cellphone carrier A (I don't want to say names here).But when I use the hotspot of my cellphone carrier B then telegram desktop just opens with a white list of contacts and the loading circle thing.Can anyone tell me why this happens and how can I fix it?The telegram version I'm using is: Telegram Desktop Version 4.5.2 x64

If I reset my account, is my chat history deleted for my contacts as well?
I'm unable to get into my account due to 2fa and need to reset. I've been wanting to delete my chat history, but now that I can't get in I'm stuck. Will resetting it delete my chat history for the contacts I've communicated with as well?

Video/photo download on desktop client
So I know that on mobile every time you even view a picture/video it gets downloaded for some reason, but what about on the desktop client? Does it work the same and download the file somewhere to my computer or does it just let me view it in the application without downloading it? Im in a few misc groups and dont really want to delete every single picture/video i watch in them.

Video compressed while sending as a file.
I noticed for the first time that file video are getting compressed, normally it would be the same size as the original this time they are half the size. Is this a restriction from Telegram as we keep getting them from a non premium account?

Flooding multiple devices with notification sounds
So I'm chatting in the desktop client within my small group, then click away to check something in the browser. The next message comes in and the notification sound goes off on the PC, and on my three other devices in the same room which have the telegram client (phone, tablet, laptop). They all go off within a second of each other. Then the next message comes in and the new barrage of notifications goes off. Rinse and repeatIs there some way to tame these things without having to mute the group? Why do all my devices go off so quick? Can they skip the first notification and wait to see if I haven't come back to my current primary chat client for a few minutes? There gotta be a way to make this less annoying.Anyone else runs into this?

Caller A (windows 10 PC) to Caller B (Windows 11 PC). Caller B cannot see Caller A's camera no matter who starts the call. Issue just started after a year with no trouble.
Is it possible this is a TCP Port issue?If so, what ports? Still 443, 80, 88 and 8443? Because those should be working fine.Is there a way to get a verbose debug log out of both clients that I can compare to see if a handshake is failing somewhere?
