Running telegram-chat-forward on Python Anywhere

[aahnik]

How can this script be run on Python Anywhere?

https://www.pythonanywhere.com/

• Free
• No hassle of downloading and configuring python or git or pip, everything is pre-installed
• You get a full-fledged bash terminal
• You could close the screen, and the script will still be running until it finishes the work (usefully if you have lots of forwards and it takes a lot of time)
• Has a web-based file editor, where you can edit the .env or config.ini
• You can schedule a task to run periodically

1. First of all go to https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ and create an account there
2. Open you dashboard, you see this on left:

3. Click on " $ Bash " below "New Console"
4. A Linux terminal will open like this

5. Now follow the steps, from https://github.com/aahnik/telegram-chat-forward/#installation

Hi, I tried to run the script on pythonanywhere like a week ago but it didn't work so I did some research and I found out that pythonanywhere doesn't support Mtproto for free accounts.

hello, I'm having trouble installing the requirements.

[aahnik]

make sure you use the latest version of python and pip, and also a virtual environment. if the error still persists, don't worry, and go ahead.

Can You Make a repl.it version ? Because everyone use that.....

[aahnik]

there is nothing called a repl.it version. You can use the code anywhere.

Go to repl.it , clone the repo, and use it

On repl.it free tier the project becomes public by default. Replit hides the env file but forwarder.session is visible to everyone.

Actually, I think the script can run on pythonanywhere.com on the free tier but with some adjustments. On their page they say that is possible through their proxy. Can this workaround work with the script? How to use it?

[aahnik]

wow, thanks for this brilliant suggestion. I will learn more about this and implement the required changes to support running on python anywhere free tier.

[tissole]

I found this, maybe can help you.

[aahnik]

thanks for your efforts, but here we don't use webhook or polling. I am using Telethon, which the python mtproto library.

Hi Aahnik..

I tried this repo in python on windows and get this syntaxerror..

_C:\telegram-chat-forward>python forwarder.py
  File "C:\telegram-chat-forward\forwarder.py", line 19
    def intify(string)
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax_

I already tried to installed dependancies and only can installed this:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

But this file cannot be installed :

python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate

My question was can this repo be run on stand PC with python?

How to installed dependancies on windows?

[aahnik]

you are most probably using older version of python, or you messed up something.

Dont, worry, today I am releasing a new version. Will write more about that soon.
