telegram bot python menu button inline

Question

I'm trying to create a menu where users pick an option and some text with information is shown. I'm not being able to show any information with the code I have. Any ideas? I've tried capturing users callback_data with "opciones" but nothing ever happens.

    updater.start_polling()

    # updater.start_polling(allowed_updates=[])

I've also tried to add the if part to the cs_menu but nothing happened.

Try placing the last opciones handler on top of other handlers. — Alen Paul Varghese
if I were you, i tried adding a single callback_query handler: and filters out the data using if else statement like if context.data == "cm1": do something ; elif "dm1" inn context.data: do another thing at the end there will only be one handler for callbackquery — Alen Paul Varghese
check this in this project i am using only a single callback query handler github.com/alenpaul2001/Web-Screenshot-Bot/blob/… — Alen Paul Varghese

For complicated dialogs like this, I would recommend to use ConversationHandler (see official example from python-telegram-bot library). Using it you will always know where user is, what are message/keyboard to show and how it can react on future input.
