How to have the message text showed up in my command line?

Question

I use pytelegrambotapi library to make my bot in telegram.

Here is my code:

import config
import telebot

bot = telebot.TeleBot(config.token)


@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def handle_start_message(message):
    bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Hello. I'm your bot")
    print(message.text)

What I want to do is to return the message text in my command line. It returns nothing, however, the bot is working since it answers me in telegram.

Most probably, the code is running in separate Tread/Process, which does not have access to the console, and hence, not able to print something in it.

Use logging to file instead of print.
