Telegram – Markdown_V2 support for update.message.reply_text

edit: as for importing question: from telegram.constants import ParseMode

I have this code below, everything works otherwise if I remove the parse_mode bit (besides bold etc):

await update.message.reply_text(await main_menu_message(), reply_markup=await main_menu_keyboard(), parse_mode=telegram.constants.ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2)

and have imported everything – here is the error I get back:

await update.message.reply_text(await main_menu_message(), reply_markup=await main_menu_keyboard(), parse_mode=telegram.constants.ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2) NameError: name 'telegram' is not defined

I’ve been stuck on this for hours and have explored mostly every other post to no avail. Thank you and let me know if I need to give any more info.

I’ve tried entering it as a string, using just MARKDOWN_V2 and other entries like it

edit 2:
Okay just tried updating to parse_mode=ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2 and get the error : telegram.error.BadRequest: Can't parse entities: character '(' is reserved and must be escaped with the preceding ''

And here is my message function:

async def main_menu_message(): return "Bot Demo *bold* n(for trial purposes only)n~~---------------~~nn[Link Text](http://example.com)"

    Because you’re importing ParseMode, you can reference it by just calling ParseMode directly. You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) call it with the full import path.

    So in your example,

    parse_mode=telegram.constants.ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2

    becomes

    parse_mode=ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2

    Having the same issue @Alienbyte, did you ever get it fully configured?

    enter image description here

    This is what it looks like in my chat.

    Here is the code:

    
await query.message.reply_text(escape_markdown_v2(message), parse_mode=ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2)
