recover from message failed to send?

[csaftoiu]

Sometimes messages are failing to send. Restarting the script recovers it. But the messages that I asked to send with bot.send_message don't get re-sent. Is there any built-in way to have it recover this on startup or do I have to roll my own?

roll my own.

But restarting script is a strange way. Why not just to retry sending message?
Or catch exception and check?
Or wonder in debug mode (logger.DEBUG) and see what happen there...

Actually I see it does have built-in retry already !

pyTelegramBotAPI/telebot/apihelper.py

Line 39 in c8d1dac

RETRY_ON_ERROR = False

Restarting the script -- I knew it worked, but I think simpler to just retry, it doesn't seem script restart is necessary
