title: Telegram SendPoll via Python: can't parse options JSON
body: <p>When I try to send a Poll to a chat I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{'ok': False, 'error_code': 400, 'description': "Bad Request: can't parse options JSON object"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Regarding to <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendpoll" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendpoll</a> the "options" have to be an array out of strings, which obviously doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>This is the script I built:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import json, requests
  
  telegram_poll_url = 'https://api.telegram.org/botXXXX:YYYY/sendPoll'
  telegram_poll_data = {'chat_id': XXXX, 'options':  ["5 Minuten", "10 Minuten"], 'question': "Wann bist hier?", 'is_anonymous': False}
  
  response = requests.post(telegram_poll_url, telegram_poll_data).json()
  print(response)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Edit: This also doesnt work</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>options = ["5 Minuten", "10 Minuten"]
  telegram_poll_data = {
      'chat_id': -321158590, 
      'options':  options, 
      'question': "Wann bist du im FF Haus?", 
      'is_anonymous': False
  }
  
  response = requests.post(telegram_poll_url, telegram_poll_data).json()
  </code></pre>
