Checklist

  • I believe the idea is awesome and would benefit the library.
  • I have searched in the issue tracker for similar requests, including closed ones.

Description

As Telethon is the other (and older) Telegram MTProto API client python library, a lightweight comparaison in the Pyrogram FAQ (pros/cons, features or spirit differences) would be very useful for new users.

I'll start. Pyrogram...

  • is the most high-level of the available MTProto libraries
  • aims to be similar in structure to the Bot API
  • lags behind Telethon in abstraction of raw method calls (i.e. Telethon just has more builtin features right now)
  • unlike Telethon, abstracts peers in a way that does not leak - It allows to use chat IDs, usernames, and complex objects as method parameters interchangeably by design
  • borrows multiple concepts from python-telegram-bot, which many see as the de facto standard for Python bots
  • currently gets slightly more love and attention than Telethon from its maintainers (and rises in popularity)
