A python script to send messages to a telegram user. Useful to notify when long scripts are finished!

bot.py

#This script is independet of lib or python version (tested on python 2.7 and 3.5)

import telegram
#token that can be generated talking with @BotFather on telegram
my_token = ''

def send(msg, chat_id, token=my_token):
	"""
	Send a mensage to a telegram user specified on chatId
	chat_id must be a number!
	"""
	bot = telegram.Bot(token=token)
	bot.sendMessage(chat_id=chat_id, text=msg)

_How do I obtain/get the target user's ChatID (my Telegram user's ID) to whom my bot is going to send the message, please?
If you do not want to use it, you can create a dummy bot that receives a message and takes the chatId for each message.

Any advice fora code that would achieve that? I am struggling woth that part.

@everyone

Are there any instances of sending messages using TypeScript?
