Hi,

No, the library officially doesn't support async/await syntax, you'll have to write a wrapper if you want to use it.

After seeing this, I thought it should be possible to use async/await with tdlib. So I tried it and I managed to get a low-level async tdjson wrapper working; by low-level I mean:
await tdlib.send_request({'@type': 'sendMessage', ...})

However, looking at the current API of python-telegram and how it's implemented, I don't think it would be possible to support async/await and keep compatibility with the existing API...

[alexander-akhmetov]

Probably, it should be possible to have both the current synchronous client and a new async API, and the synchronous client could be migrated to use the new async-await API under the hood
