What is MATE?

MATE is a way of building telegram applications which involves using as little custom code as possible, relying on tested and safe solutions to do ~90% of the work while injecting custom logic only where necessary.

It has 2 main packages:

• MateWrapper:

  The basic wrapper built around the python-telegram-bot telegram.ext package, provides functions & classes useful to simplify building bots while still using the base framework.

• MateMenus:

  This package is built on top of the previous one and basically transforms MATE into it’s own framework.
