  <div>
    <p>Thank you, I was afraid of such an answer.</p>
    <p>Isn't it of convern that two major developments - PyQt and
      asyncio - exclude each other' use? In particular both of your
      links seem to suggest that a combination is possible.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Rewriting the telegram-bot lib is not an option for me, and
      asyncio does not seem a stringent necessity, as its older version
      runs without it.</p>
    <p>Thanks again</p>

            <p>My PyQt5 app so far runs well. But trying to add
              functionality requiring asyncio results in failure.</p>
            <p>I tried to integrate the telegram-bot function (pip:

              got it running, but I am swamped with deprecation warning.
