Question 59407 in Telegram API Question posted in
A comprehensive official documentation can be found here.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'telegram.ext'; 'telegram' is not a package – Telegram API

I tried:

  • pip install python-telegram-bot
  • pip3 install python-telegram-bot
  • pip install telegram
  • pip3 install telegram

But the error keeps showing up telling me there is no such package of ‘telegram.ext’ offered by python-telegram-bot.
However, my text editor with python plugin is able to find the package telegram.ext in my environment. I also tried using command prompt dirtectly on that virtual environment I created, still doesn’t work.
Seems that this same issue is faced by other posts on internet without any resolve.

my text editor plugin can find the package

    I just realized the error was because there was another file named 'telegram.py' in the same directory causing the package import problem. Sorry for this silly mistake. Thank you and I will close the case.

    It seems both packages python-telegram-bot and telegram uses the same namespace "telegram". This can cause conflicts, so you should remove one of them.

    This uninstalls the telegram package

    pip uninstall telegram

    Note: use pip3 if on Linux or Mac

    Do 1-2 via terminal and 4 on your IDE:

    1. Install pip install telegram
    2. Install pip install python-telegram-bot
    3. If you are using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated
    4. Lastly, import from telegram.ext import

    If Python API for the tdlib library is being used then, as per Tutorial https://python-telegram.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial.html Install the library:

    python3 -m pip install python-telegram

    (or simply python instead of python3 for some environments)
