import error

I'm trying to use your bot and am getting the following error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bot.py", line 8, in
from telegram import Emoji, ParseMode, TelegramError, Update
ImportError: cannot import name 'Emoji'

I did a pip install of python-telegram-bot. Any thoughts?

I am having the same problem..

• Created virtualenv for python3.6 with virtualenv -p `which python3.6`
• Activated virtualenv with . ./bin/activate
• Ran pip install telegram
• ./bin/python bot.py gives

  File "bot.py", line 8, in <module>
    from telegram import Emoji, ParseMode, TelegramError, Update
ImportError: cannot import name 'Emoji'```

Solution found!
It seems the Emoji support was deprecated in python-telegram-bot V5.1, so in order to make it work you have to install V5.0 using
pip install python-telegram-bot==5.0

Well, how about that. Good detective work. I'll try that later this week and report back. Depreciated on purpose? But why...
