🛠️ Kernel Python Telegram Bot

A modular Telegram bot powered by python-telegram-bot.
This bot is designed for scalability, maintainability, and follows clean architecture principles.

Features

• Uses python-telegram-bot for handling Telegram interactions.
• Structured with SOLID principles for modularity.
• Poetry-based dependency management (previously Pipenv).
• Built-in error handling and logging.
• Uses environment variables (.env) to store sensitive data.

Upcoming Enhancements & Next Steps

We are actively improving the kernel to be more reusable, scalable, and efficient. The following enhancements are planned:

• Short-Term Goals

  • Support for Webhooks: Implement run_webhook() to allow event-driven execution.
  • Testing with SQLite: Create unit tests using pytest for config_loader.py, database.py, and handlers.
  • Verify PostgreSQL Integration: Ensure database compatibility with PostgreSQL.

• Mid-Term Goals

  • Plugin System for Dynamic Modules: Load new commands automatically from src/plugins/.
  • Multi-language Support (i18n): Implement a translation system with JSON-based locales.
  • Message Middleware: Filter messages before they reach command handlers.

• Long-Term Goals

  • Redis Caching for Performance Optimization: Store user sessions in memory for faster responses.
  • External API Integration: Create api_client.py for connecting with third-party services.
  • WebSockets for Real-Time Events: Enable instant notifications and live event handling.
  • Admin Dashboard with FastAPI: Develop an API to manage and monitor the bot remotely.

Installation & Setup

Check

▶ Running the Bot

You can start the bot in two ways:

1. Using Poetry

poetry run python src/main.py

2. Using the run.sh Script

Make sure run.sh is executable:

chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh

3. Using Webhooks (Coming Soon)

poetry run python src/main.py --webhook
