MenuButton

class telegram.MenuButton(type, *, api_kwargs=None)

Bases: telegram.TelegramObject

This object describes the bot’s menu button in a private chat. It should be one of

• telegram.MenuButtonCommands

• telegram.MenuButtonWebApp

• telegram.MenuButtonDefault

If a menu button other than telegram.MenuButtonDefault is set for a private chat, then it is applied in the chat. Otherwise the default menu button is applied. By default, the menu button opens the list of bot commands.

Objects of this class are comparable in terms of equality. Two objects of this class are considered equal, if their type is equal. For subclasses with additional attributes, the notion of equality is overridden.
