sendDocument seems to damage the file about python-telegram-bot HOT 10 CLOSED

Thank you for your bug report, I'll be looking into this.

Hey there, would you mind to send me the PDF file? I couldn't reproduce the issue here.

from python-telegram-bot.

Hi Ronald, could you please update to the latest version and try it again?

pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade

I've tried here with the PDF you've sent me and it seems to be working:

$ md5sum uitrusting.pdf
010b622fe01c589f5f49bb8b86777396 uitrusting.pdf
$ md5sum uitrusting_downloaded.pdf

Windows-related issue, looking further...

from python-telegram-bot.

Aren't you supposed to use the 'b' (binary) mode open() flag to to open non-text files on Windows?

Can someone upload the PDF for reproducing this?

Hi @rjdevries, would you please test it again? I've tried on Windows 7 Professional 64 bits using Python 2.7, latest release 2.4 and everything seems to be working.

from python-telegram-bot.

Sample code:

import telegram

bot = telegram.Bot('TOKEN')

update = bot.getUpdates()[-1]
chat_id = update.message.chat_id
document = open('PDF.pdf', 'rb')

bot.sendDocument(chat_id=chat_id, document=document)

@rjdevries, as stated by @ramiro, you have to open() using 'b' (binary). Only 'r' will cause 1Kb file, like the issue you mentioned. I'll mark this as WAI. Thank you @ramiro, good catch.

I've tested it with the b (binary) and that works great. Thanks!
