python - telegram bot sendMessage in specific date - python-2.7

Question

I am terribly new in python and my progress is like a snail:(
I want to make a telegram bot that send a message at specific date and time. I used apscheduler and telepot libraries for that. and this is my code:
import telepot
import sys
import time
from time import sleep
from datetime import datetime
from apscheduler.scheduler import Scheduler
import logging
bot = telepot.Bot("***")
logging.basicConfig()
sched = Scheduler()
sched.start()
exec_date = datetime(2017, 9, 12 ,1,51,0)
def handle(msg):
content_type,chat_type,chat_id = telepot.glance(msg)
print(content_type,chat_type,chat_id)
if content_type == 'text' :
bot.sendMessage(chat_id,msg['text'])
def sendSimpleText():
# content_type,chat_type,chat_id = telepot.glance(msg)
# print(content_type,chat_type,chat_id)
#
# if content_type == 'text' :
chat_id = telepot.
bot.sendMessage(chat_id,'faez')
def main():
job = sched.add_date_job(sendSimpleText, exec_date)
while True:
sleep(1)
sys.stdout.write('.'); sys.stdout.flush()
# bot.message_loop(handle)
# # job = sched.add_date_job(sendSimpleText, '2017-09-11 21:35:00', ['testFuckBot'])
# while True:
# time.sleep(10)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
my question is what do I pass to sendSimpleText as argument in add_date_job? in this line:
job = sched.add_date_job(sendSimpleText, exec_date)
I know that msg is the message that user is typed so for add_date_job I have nothing?

Answer 1

You are used an old (2.1.2) version of APScheduler.
New version has a new syntax.
A function add_date_job no more available.
This is a worked solution for you:
import telepot
import sys
import time
from datetime import datetime
from apscheduler.schedulers.background import BackgroundScheduler
from telepot.loop import MessageLoop
import logging
bot = telepot.Bot("***YOUR_BOT_TOKEN***")
logging.basicConfig()
sched = BackgroundScheduler()
exec_date = datetime(2017, 9, 12 ,3,5,0)
def handle(msg):
content_type,chat_type,chat_id = telepot.glance(msg)
print(content_type,chat_type,chat_id)
if content_type == 'text' :
bot.sendMessage(chat_id,msg['text'])
def sendSimpleText(chat_id):
bot.sendMessage(chat_id,'faez')
def main():
MessageLoop(bot, handle).run_as_thread()
job = sched.add_job(sendSimpleText, run_date=exec_date, args=['**YOUR_TELEGRAM_ID**'])
while True:
time.sleep(1)
sys.stdout.write('.'); sys.stdout.flush()
if __name__ == '__main__':
sched.start()
main()
