Excellent video man, it was exactly what I need to create my own simple bot

[moharrammoharrami]

Thanks, today was my off day and I randomly found this video. First I made this exactly as you taught, then I changed stuff and learned more about python (I'm a JS developer). Best way for a software developer to spend his off day :)

Great tutorial! There's one thing I want to add though. Your implementation of error handler lacks information on a line of the problem. After passing around with GPT-4 for a while I found a solution to get more information:

```python
async def error(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE):
_, _, tb = sys.exc_info()
line_number =
exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback = sys.exc_info()
error_traceback = traceback.format_exception(exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback)
print(f"Update {update} caused error
```
