I am writing a bot for tg, it is necessary that the bot respond to the user two hours after the start. How can this be well organized?

  • library or framework do you use? - Dima Kaukin
  • Do you mean to write a bot? Yuzayu telebot - Scream Captain
  • at start or after the user's first message, remember chat_id, and write a message through it to the user - gil9red
  • import time # start the timer begin_time = time.time () # perform a long action time.sleep (1) # get the expiration time from the beginning of the timer start end_time = time.time () print end_time - begin_time # another long action time.sleep ( 2) # we get the end time from the start of the timer end_time = time.time () print end_time - begin_time - SoftQualityRC
  • Something went wrong .. I wanted to say, and what is not an option in the Python itself to use the timer out of the box? - SoftQualityRC

A simple example of implementation is in a separate thread (read about asynchrony):

import time from threading import Thread class my_users: def __init__(self): pass def post_msg(self): time.sleep(7200) # написать пользователю user1 = my_users() Thread(target = user1.post_msg).start()

    target = user1.post_msg() problem here, because target is not a reference to the function, but the result of its execution. Those. your code is the same as: Thread(target=None).start() , and you need to do this: Thread(target=user1.post_msg).start() - gil9red
