how to send an image group with telethon in telegram in python

Question

hey I'm trying to send some images to a group in telegram using telethon to do it with my own account not a bot. but I have a little problem. it errors some how that I think some where I made a mistake in initializing something. the code is:

filenames = ['C:\\Users\\Achak\\Documents\\GitHub\\typhoone\\qq\\0.jpg','C:\\Users\\Achak\\Documents\\GitHub\\typhoone\\qq\\1.jpg']
    for filename in filenames:
        try:
            # Upload the file
            result = await client.upload(filename)
            media = InputMediaPhoto(result)

            # Send the file to the group
            await client.send_file(group, media)
            print(f'Sent {filename} to group with ID {group_id}')
        except PeerFloodError:
            print('Sending too many messages, stopping...')
            break

and this is the error: telethon.errors.rpcerrorlist.MediaEmptyError: The provided media object is invalid or the current account may not be able to send it (such as games as users) (caused by SendMediaRequest)

I tried changing the location of image to the code container folder bot nothing happened.

If you upload your file with client.upload(filename), you don't need InputMediaPhoto, you can just use the result of upload to send_file.

From the documentation:

file = client.upload_file('photo.jpg')
client.send_file(chat, file)                       # sends as photo

So in your case, just use the result variabel as the paramter:

result = await client.upload(filename)
client.send_file(group, result)
