i'm trying to build a python telegram bot but I keep getting this error and i cant fint the source of the error... details:

My Class:

class weed4us_bot():
    def __init__(self, config):
        self.token = self.read_token_from_config_file(config)
        self.base = 'https://api.telegram.org/bot{}/'.format(self.token)

    def get_updates(self, offset=None):
        url = self.base + 'getUpdates?timeout=100'
        if offset:
            url = url + '&offset={}'.format(offset + 1)
        r = requests.get(url)
        return json.loads(r.content)

    def send_massage(self, msg, chat_id):
        url = self.base + 'sendMessage?chat_id={}&text={}'.format(chat_id, msg)
        if msg is not None:
            requests.get(url)

def read_token_from_config_file(config):

    updates = bot.get_updates(offset=update_id)
    updates = updates['result']
    if updates:
        for item in updates:
            update_id = item['update_id']
            try:
                message = item['message']['text']
            except:
                message = None
            from_ = item['message']['from']['id']
            reply = make_reply(message)

get_updates is a method from class weed4us_bot so if you want to call this method, you need to call it on an object of this class. So first you need to create an object of class: obj = weed4us_bot(), and then call this method obj.get_updates(offset=update_id).

There is also a second possible way to call this method: weed4us_bot.get_updates(object, offset=update_id) but still you need to create an object of this class.

Your error occurs in this line: updates = bot.get_updates(offset=update_id). To fix it you could first create object of class weed4us_bot: bot_object = bot(some_config) and then call method on object: bot_object.get_updates(offset=update_id). Or pass weed4us_bot object as self. You can do it in this way: bot.get_updates(bot(some_config), offset=update_id)
