Telegram bots with Python? Why not?
summary
Claim: building Telegram bots in Python is quick and practical using real libraries. It shows obtaining a BotFather token, choosing frameworks like telepot and python-telegram-bot (or botogram), and differences between polling loops and inline/query bots. A working To-Do List bot is implemented with add/list/mark-done commands (demo runs but the presenter hits connectivity issues; source is on GitHub). Notes tradeoffs: command bots flood groups with poll messages; deploy options include Amazon, Google, Azure and PythonAnywhere.
