I managed to solve it using python3, but this time I removed the other versions of python completely before installing again, the steps were as follows:

sudo python -m pip uninstall pyTelegramBotAPI
sudo apt remove python python-pip python-setuptools
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-six
sudo python3 -m pip install pyTelegramBotAPI six
sudo pip install six

[Fixed] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘telebot’ – Be on the Right Side of Change
Quick Fix: Python raises the ImportError: No module named 'telebot' when it cannot find the library telebot. The most frequent source of this error is that you haven’t installed telebot explicitly with pip install telebot. Alternatively, you may have different Python versions on your computer, and telebot is not installed for the particular version you’re using.

PyTelegramBotAPI and Python3 not working - Raspberry Pi Forums
Why are you starting this code with sudo ? Usually not required. On my own pi, I would backup data, use a fresh sd and restart. You could try to uninstall python 3.7 , delete also /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/ and /usr/lib/python3.7/ and reinstall python3 again.

So, I have a code written with telebot, but the bot doesn't start with standard "/start".I tried copying the standard bot code from official documentation, its not working either. What should I do?

r/learnpython on Reddit: Error import telegram module although it is installed
August 16, 2019 -

Im trying to run a simple example of a telegram bot and always get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bot.py", line 4, in <module>
    from telegram.ext import Updater, InlineQueryHandler, CommandHandler
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'telegram'

Searching for answers I have tried all of the above solutions:

pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade

git clone https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot --recursive 
cd python-telegram-bot 
python setup.py install

python -m pip install python-telegram-bot

python3 -m pip install python-telegram-bot

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt -U

But still nothing.

Maybe is some kind of problem related to the path of the installation of the python-telegram-module?

Thank you in advance.

This is the code I'm using btw, don't know if it is related to the issue I'm having:

#!/usr/bin/python3

import os
from telegram.ext import Updater, InlineQueryHandler, CommandHandler
import requests
import re

def get_url():
    contents = requests.get('https://random.dog/woof.json').json()
    url = contents['url']
    return url

def bop(bot, update):
    url = get_url()
    chat_id = update.message.chat_id
    bot.send_photo(chat_id=chat_id, photo=url)

def main():
    updater = Updater(os.environ['TOKEN'])
    dp = updater.dispatcher
    dp.add_handler(CommandHandler('bop',bop))
    updater.start_polling()
    updater.idle()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Edit2: Now I'm having the same problem with selenium despite having been using it in the past without any problems. This make me think that I probably messed up something somehow.

Edit: Fuck this title is a mess, I'm sorry.
