Error on telegram import Update

Python Help
1

Hi!

I am using python to run a Telegram bot on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, I am however facing an importing error:

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/shared_dir/otaniemi_bot/bot.py", line 2, in <module>
    from telegram import Update
ImportError: cannot import name 'Update' from 'telegram' (/home/miquel/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/telegram/__init__.py)

Which I am not understanding why it is happening since I have the modules installed with pip.

$ python3 -m pip show telegram

Hello,

a google search brought me here:

To import the module, you might have to try:

python3 -m pip install python-telegram-bot

Does this work for you?

Thanks for your reply, I got this output

And same for telegram package:

$ python3 -m pip install telegram
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

But still does not work, continuing with same error ImportError: cannot import name 'Update' from 'telegram'
