Tip
When combining
python-telegram-bot
with otherasyncio
based frameworks, using this method is likely not the best choice, as it blocks the event loop until it receives a stop signal as described above. Instead, you can manually call the methods listed below to start and shut down the application and theupdater
. Keeping the event loop running and listening for a stop signal is then up to you.To gracefully stop the execution of this method from within a handler, job or error callback, use
stop_running()
.
