RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'MessageMethods.send_message' was never awaited – Telegram API

import random
from telethon import TelegramClient, events


def main():
    api_id = 9123640
    api_hash = '8as6fgvs8t9ar76fse89rgearz'
    chat = '@username'
    message = 'hi'

    client = TelegramClient('afewfe', api_id, api_hash)

    @client.on(events.NewMessage(chats=chat))
    async def normal_handler(event):
        if event.message.button_count == 4:
            await event.message.click(random.randint(0, 3))
            await client.disconnect()

    client.start()
    client.send_message(chat, message)
    client.run_until_disconnected()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

I want to send message to user then get back from user message with 4 buttons, click random button and stop script. Problem with sending message. If I comment line client.send_message(chat, message) and send message by myself, code will continue working fine but but line client.send_message(chat, message) an error appears:

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'MessageMethods.send_message' was never awaited
  client.send_message('@username', 'hi')
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

How to solve this problem?

    It looks like you are running asynchronous code in a normal function. The error is complaining that the client.send_message(chat, message) code doesn’t have the await keyword before it. In order to be able to run any async function the way you want to (as just a normal function call), you must have the await keyword before the function call’s code. To be able to use the await keyword without throwing an error, the outer function holding the code (main) needs to be asynchronous and can be run with asyncio.run.

    from asyncio import run

async def main():
    # your code

    client.start()
    client.run_until_disconnected()
    await client.send_message(chat, message)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run(main())

    Just import:

    from telethon.sync import TelegramClient
from telethon import TelegramClient, events

    That should work.
