Strange problem in "last_name" field

[chustaschus]

Hello. That field is working for me. I think the problem is in other place

I found the problem! The user who sent the message have the surname not set, I think that is necessary to set a try for every field in message

Correct. You should always refer to Bot API's doc and pay attention to which fields are optional. Before accessing optional fields, you should always check if 'field' in message, or use a try block catching a KeyError.

Alternatively, you may use telepot.namedtuple.namedtuple() function to turn the dict into a namedtuple. In this case, all fields are guaranteed to be present; those absent from the dict will have a value of None. Depending on your application, this way of accessing fields may be more convenient, especially if you need to access many optional fields. (But then, you may still have to check for None. Again, that depends on your application.)

Thanks! I'll move with "if 'fiedl' in"
