Python conflict with keyword "from" in telegram bot

Question

I would like to print user information in Python script using python-telegram-bot referring to this page

But when I type

print update.message.from

keyword .from is recognized as internal reserved keyword and I get invalid syntax error.

How can I solve?

Thanks.

Answer 1

As explained in the python-telegram-bot code and documentation itself:

• In Python from is a reserved word, use from_user instead.

So: print update.message.from_user.

Answer 2

Use getattr.

x = getattr(update.message, 'from').id

It's not the name of the key that is a problem, but the attempt to access it using attribute syntax.
