# telegram.KeyboardButton

class telegram.KeyboardButton(text, request_contact=None, request_location=None, request_poll=None, **_kwargs)

  Bases: `telegram.base.TelegramObject`

  This object represents one button of the reply keyboard. For simple text buttons String can be used instead of this object to specify text of the button.

  Objects of this class are comparable in terms of equality. Two objects of this class are considered equal, if their `text`, `request_contact`, `request_location` and `request_poll` are equal.

  - `request_poll` option will only work in Telegram versions released after 23 January, 2020. Older clients will receive unsupported message.
