• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

I don't use telegram or anything but I'm pretty sure you just showed your bot token

[strange widget]

First of all, don't expose your TOKEN like that. Now you have to roll another.

Secondly, what was the command you used to install telebot?

Thirdly, please rename your bot.py file to something else. Because your code also uses the same name bot for its commands, so its going to be confusing for Python to know which one you're referring to if you import bot.py into somewhere.

Maybe like mybot.py or something

[candid rover]

No, there's another problem here, I install the library, but it keeps saying the Import and library name

If you tell me how to do it, I'll be grateful

[strange widget]

Can you tell me how you installed the library?

[candid rover]

Yes

[strange widget]

There's 2 libraries here that uses the same package name. telebot and pyTelegramBotAPI. Which one are you using?

[strange widget]

What was the command?

[candid rover]

I go to the site, go to the terminal, I write there, it writes install and the name of the library is downloaded, then I write to use the import library or under the type of the name of the library, well, at the bottom it is constantly written to import the name of the library

[strange widget]

What did you write in the terminal??

[candid rover]

pyTelegramBotAPI

Pip install

[strange widget]

Thanks. And what did you write in the terminal to install it?

[strange widget]

Try with py -m or consider using a virtualenv

[obsidian edge]

Could you explain to me the problem from the very start?

[candid rover]

Tell me how it will look on the example

[candid rover]

Yes

[strange widget]

py -m pip install <insert your package name here>

[chilly blade]

@candid rover I deleted the screenshots because they contain your bot token

[candid rover]

Ok

[chilly blade]

please invalidate those tokens, and then post the relevant code as text (not a screenshot) with the tokens removed.

[candid rover]

Sorry

[candid rover]

I've already been helped Well, thank you

[obsidian edge]

Okay 👍👌

[strange widget]

without the <>

[candid rover]

Bro, I've already downloaded it

[strange widget]

show me that you ran the command correctly

[strange widget]

ok good. Now check your Python Interpreter by opening the command pallete and find "Select Interpreter" for Python

Show me what Python versions and interpreters you have

It should look something like this

[candid rover]

1 minute

[strange widget]

Type > Select Interpreter

[strange widget]

I assume you have it installed in 3.13... so pick the "Recommended" one

Then it should be fixed

[candid rover]

I'll ask from the GPT chat, he said that the library doesn't work on the newest version

[strange widget]

Why won't it work?

[candid rover]

I don't know

And what's next

[strange widget]

test it

[candid rover]

Ok

I'm waiting

[candid rover]

So you're there about you

[strange widget]

Did you test it?

[candid rover]

What exactly did you check

[strange widget]

I don't have to check.

[strange widget]

You're supposed to check if your telegram bot is working or not

[candid rover]

The same

[strange widget]

You probably didn't install it in 3.13 but in 3.10

Either switch your Interpreter to 3.10 or run the py -m pip install pytelegrambotapi command again

Then test it again

[candid rover]

Python's version is the same

[strange widget]

It shows here that you have 3.13.3 and 3.10.11. Either switch to 3.10.11 or run the pip install again

[candid rover]

I installed the same thing

[candid rover]

Bro

[strange widget]

idk if you changed anything

[strange widget]

What happens if you run your python script? Put your TOKEN back in and test it

[candid rover]

Well, there's a mistake

[strange widget]

you didn't put your TOKEN back

DONT SHOW YOUR TOKEN MF

DELETE THAT!

JUST RUN YOUR BOT

[candid rover]

Not deleted

[strange widget]

NO! I MEAN DELETE THIS SCREENSHOT!

[strange widget]

FINALLY!

NEVER SHARE YOUR TOKEN

[candid rover]

Ok

The bot doesn't respond

[strange widget]

What does your terminal show?

[strange widget]

ITS NOT EVEN RUNNING!

Look

Just put your token in your code

Then run your bot

py bot.py

[dusk barn]

Now where is the page lick about environment variables in my book lick.
This will be usefull for you in the future or now.
https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/python-env-vars-how-to-get-an-environment-variable-in-python/
https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/

[candid rover]

And how to make it work

[strange widget]

I just told you

Put your token in your code

run your bot

py bot.py

And then test it

Do you understand @candid rover ?

[candid rover]

A

Yes

That's how I placed my token

[dusk barn]

You didnt save the file after you added the token.

ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP EXPOSING YOUR TOKEN.

[chilly blade]

@candid rover your token is a password. if you keep showing it, you're going to get hacked and possibly get banned from telegram or incur expenses that you will be required to pay.

understand?
