Async send_photo, application.run_polling

[formulatimer]

I was using v13, and now I have rewritten the code to use v20.

1. I have noticed that the function 'send_photo' in v20 is asynchronous. Is there a similar 'send_photo' without asynchronous functionality in v20 ?

2. In v13 I used updater.start_polling() that enbabled that the code continue running, now I am using application.run_polling(allowed_updates=Update.ALL_TYPES) but the code stop at that line. Is there a similar 'updater.start_polling()' in v20?

Thanks

1. v20 is asyncio-only
2. Application.run_polling starts the polling and keeps the event loop running until you stop the process. This is roughly equivalent to the combination of v13's updater.start_polling + updater.idle(). If you want to use some custom logic for running your script, please have a look at the docs of run_polling as well as this faq entry
