My great plan is to create a Telegram chat bot that would be like shizoid, but in Python and maybe with some extra features.

A-a-a-a-and... it works! Thanks to @REDNBLACK.

Features

ImaginaryFriend can:

• reply to random messages in chat groups,
• reply to replies to its messages / messages mentioning it,
• send (one!) sticker ("I'm frustrated by all these stickers"),
• do some commands.

Commands

• /ping,
• /get_stats: get information on how many pairs are known by ImaginaryFriend,
• /set_chance: set the probability that ImaginaryFriend would reply to a random message (must be in range 1-50, default: 5),
• /get_chance: get current probability that ImaginaryFriend would reply to a message.

Installation and Setup

Dependencies
