[alisher-matkurbanov]

Hello!
Thanks for the project!

I want to ask are you going to update to python-telegram-bot v12 and when?
Thank you!

I've a django (2.2.6) setup with django-telegrambot (1.0.1) installed and it actually works with ptb v12. I think this is because of the downwards compability of ptb. One of the main (and probably most wanted) features of ptb12 is the context based approach. I just looked briefly into the django-telegrambot code, to see how and where the Updaters are created.
If it's enough to change this part for example to Updater(.. use_context=True) or move the use_context option to the settings.py (DJANGO_TELEGRAMBOT), I could try to to that and create a PR. But If this requires more complex changes, I dont have the time to maintain this.
However, it would be good to know if this project is still maintained. @JungDev ?

I just created a new env and installed django3 ptb12 and only a small adjustment was neccessary, to get django_telegrambot to work with the new context. I created a PR.
Also the way the urls are included could be changed to the new path(), which is used in newer django versions, but this still works as it is.. so I didn't touched it.

Here is the PR #37

This PR should be merged... the old system is deprecated

There is already a new version of ptb released and no of the PR has been merged yet.
However, I have forked the repository and will try to merge any open PR in the future.
It worked for me with Django 2.x and Django 3.x with python-telegram-bot v1.12+.
Feel free to try it and create PR. You can install it with pip using the git url instead of the package name (see README.md):
