ImportError: cannot import name 'VERSION' from 'telegram' (unknown location)

[levimake]

.../venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/telegram/client.py", line 19, in <module>
    from telegram import VERSION
ImportError: cannot import name 'VERSION' from 'telegram' (unknown location)

I am getting this error when try running the example given on the readme.md

Can anyone help ?

You probably have another telegram library installed. Try to confirm this by checking what package is installed (you can get the path with import telegram; telegram.__file__) or install python-telegram in an empty virtualenv and check that from telegram import VERSION works.
