The bot responds to commands for other bots written as /command@botname

[Allnorm]

When using pyTelegramBotAPI, we can register a command using the decorator @bot.message_handler(commands=['help']). Let's say our bot has a username @example_bot, and this handler responds to the commands /help, /help@example_bot, which is correct. However, it also responds to the command /help@another_bot, which is incorrect.

Currently, the boilerplate code below is used to solve the problem, but it is obvious that it should be solved at the API level.

@bot.message_handler(commands=['help'])
def help_msg(message):
    if not bot_name_checker(message):
        return

def bot_name_checker(message):

    cmd_text = message.text.split()[0]

    if f"@{utils.bot.get_me().username}" in cmd_text or not "@" in cmd_text:
        return True
    else:
        return False

Yea this is an existing "problem", if we can call it one. Maybe we should introduce a new filter, something like bot_username, or make the user introduce it into the main class... didn't really give it a thought though, but changing the behaviour of the command is not possible.

It absoulutely not obvious that it should be. You solve it in 1 line of code, thus it's not a problem.
There may be some sort of help for this.

PS. Calling get_me() on every function call (this will request TG every time) is auful. You should cache get_me answer also...
