}Include in your urls.py the django_telegrambot.urls :
#urls.py
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^', include('django_telegrambot.urls')),

]Then use it in a project creating a module telegrambot.py in your app :
#myapp/telegrambot.py
# Example code for telegrambot.py module
from telegram.ext import CommandHandler, MessageHandler, Filters
from django_telegrambot.apps import DjangoTelegramBot
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
# Define a few command handlers. These usually take the two arguments bot and
# update. Error handlers also receive the raised TelegramError object in error.

# To get Dispatcher related to a specific bot
# dp = DjangoTelegramBot.getDispatcher('BOT_n_id') #get by bot identifier
# dp = DjangoTelegramBot.getDispatcher('BOT_n_token') #get by bot token
# dp = DjangoTelegramBot.getDispatcher('BOT_n_username') #get by bot username

# on noncommand i.e message - echo the message on Telegram
dp.add_handler(MessageHandler([Filters.text], echo))
# log all errors
dp.add_error_handler(error)Features of this Fork =============

NOTE: The tests have not been updated for latest features. See Issue #13
Does the code actually work? :
source <YOURVIRTUALENV>/bin/activate
(myenv) $ pip install -r requirements-test.txt
(myenv) $ python runtests.pySample Application =============
There a sample application in sampleproject directory. Here is installation instructions:
1. Install requirements with command :
pip install -r requirements.txt2. Copy file local_settings.sample.py as local_settings.py and edit your bot token :
cp sampleproject/local_settings.sample.py sampleproject/local_settings.py
nano sampleproject/local_settings.pyRun Django migrations
python manage.py migrate
4. Run server :: python manage.py runserver
