Telegram Bot Is Not Working

Question

I made a telegram bot with python-telegram-bot. I have defined a list of words for the bot and I want to manage the chat bot in the group. That is, if there is a word in the chat that is found in the defined list, the bot will delete it. I added the bot to a group and admin it there. The bot should control the messages sent to the group, and if there is a word in the message that is on the mlist, the bot should delete the message. my codes:

# -*- coding: cp1256 -*-
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
from telegram.ext import Filters
from telegram.ext import Updater, MessageHandler
import re

def delete_method(bot, update):
    if not update.message.text:
        print("it does not contain text")
        return

    mlist=['Hello', 'سلام']

    for i in mlist:
        if re.search(i, update.message.text):
            bot.delete_message(chat_id=update.message.chat_id,message_id=update.message.message_id)

def main():
    updater = Updater(token='TOKEN')
    dispatcher = updater.dispatcher
    dispatcher.add_handler(MessageHandler(Filters.all, delete_method))

    updater.start_polling()

    updater.idle()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Can you give us information why it does not work? What kind of errors are returned? — 91DarioDev, Aug 13 '17 at 12:50
@91DarioDev; The bot should delete messages while sending the Persian messages in the mlist to the group, but it will not do this, but if the messages in the mlist are in Latin and will be sent to the group, messages will be deleted. . There is no error at all — Sajjad, Aug 14 '17 at 11:12
Look at the messages in the mlist, when the bot sends Hello to the group, it delete it, but when the سلام sends to the group it does not delete the bot. — Sajjad, Aug 14 '17 at 11:19
I wonder if this is an issue with how the word is being encoded, due to being non-latin characters rather than the actual logic of bot. — Nathan Smith, Aug 14 '17 at 15:20

;The bot will not delete سلام when it is sent to the group, but it will be delete when a is sent – Sajjad Aug 15 '17 at 10:09
@SmartManojWhen the greetings are sent to the group, the robot does not delete it, and this gives the error: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd8 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) – Sajjad Aug 15 '17 at 10:12

@Sajjad [Both](https://stackoverflow.com/a/1629454/5033247) are same. Check [this](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/) also – Smart Manoj Aug 16 '17 at 13:03
