How to make a mailing to users of a telegram bot in python?

Question

Python

I'm trying to make the first bots in Telegram in Python. I use the telebot library (pyTelegramBotAPI).
I need to send a message to all users who have started the bot.
I understand, we save their id somewhere. Then, for example, we loop through them and send a message to each like this:

for user_id in users:
        bot.send_message(user_id, 'message')

But I can't understand - if we have launched a telegram server poll using bot.polling - the script doesn't go any further, does it? How can I run a loop to send messages to users at the same time as bot.polling(none_stop=True) is enabled?
I need to launch a mailing list NOT in response to a specific message, but at a specific time. It turns out that you will not call it through the handler of incoming messages. I need to simultaneously process incoming messages and send out mailings at a certain hour. How to implement it?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Answer 1

You can simply run another script that will create a telebot object with the same token, but will not use polling, but will immediately call send_message as many times as necessary. But we must not forget about the rate limit.
PS: Why do they ask here every week about mailing list bots? Are there really no more interesting learning tasks?
