Coroutine was never awaited. Can I make this synchronous? – Telegram API

Using python-telegram-bot, I recently installed the –pre version which broke this code.
It seems now it wants everything to be async. In this example, I use code that has nothing to do with telegram bot to decide what will be the value of mymsg, so I don’t need/want to havea commandHandler, I just want to be able to send a message in a Telegram channel whenever I decide so in my code

async def teleg_mail(msg):
    bot = telegram.Bot('TOKEN')
    keyboard = [[InlineKeyboardButton("Publish", callback_data='1///'+msg)]]
    reply_markup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(keyboard)
    await bot.send_message('CHANNEL',msg, reply_markup=reply_markup)

def main() -> None:
    #...
    mymsg="code above will decide what's in this string"
    teleg_mail(mymsg)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I used async and await because I was getting error, but even when using it, now I get

 RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'teleg_mail' was never awaited

And I cannot use await on teleg_mail() because it’s not in an async function…
How can I solve this?

  1. 0 
    import asyncio

async def main() -> None:
    #...
    mymsg="code above will decide what's in this string"
    await teleg_mail(mymsg)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

    For switching from v13.x to v20.x, I highly recommend reading the v20.0a0 release notes as well as the transition guide. Please also note that the recommended way to use the bot methods without handlers is descriped here.
