title: python-telegram-bot send message without using update and context
body: <p>I want my bot to send a message to the telegram chat when I am active on my computer. I've wrote other functions that use this fuction to send messages.</p>
  <pre><code># Function to send messages back to chat
  def sendmessage(update, context, message):
      context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text=message)
  </code></pre>
  <p>This however uses update and context from the dispatcher and handler.</p>
  <p>The function I want to send a message runs in a separate thread and is not using the dispatcher or handler. Thus I cannot use above function. I can't seem to figure out how to send a message without the use of update and context.</p>
  <p>What I have now:</p>
  <pre><code>def user_returned():
      row_list = []
      with open('log.csv') as csv_file:
          csv_reader = csv.DictReader(csv_file, delimiter=',')
          for row in csv_reader:
              row_list.append(row)
      last_line = row_list[-1]
      second_to_last_line = row_list[-2]
      print(last_line['active'], second_to_last_line['active'])
      if last_line['active'] == 'True' and second_to_last_line['active'] == 'False':
          message = 'user is back'
          context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text=message)
      else:
          message = 'still gone'
          context.bot.send_message(chat_id=update.effective_chat.id, text=message)
  </code></pre>
