TelegramCommandBase

class TelegramCommandBase

Bases: object

Base class for a custom Telegram bot command.

Subclass in the project code directory so it is picked up by import_all. Set command to the slash-command name (no slash) and implement handler. Args after the command arrive in context.args as strings. TelegramBot.register_custom wraps handler in try/except, so an unhandled exception can’t kill the bot; add your own try/except only if you want to reply with a specific error message instead of failing silently. Set description to a short one-line explanation shown by /help.
