How to build a python bot for Teams? How to deploy the same in my PROD server?

Question

I would want to build a bot in python. I would want to to do various rest calls using that bot. Can this be done in Teams and deployed in PROD LINUX server?

I have python bot in slack and that works perfectly fine.

Bots built for Microsoft Teams are made using the Microsoft Bot Framework, which has a Python SDK you can use, or you can use straight REST calls if you prefer. See:

• Teams app docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/overview
• Bot Framework docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/?view=azure-bot-service-4.0

For chat bots, it doesn't matter what OS you use to host your service.
