    There are two ways to achieve your goal:

    Method 1:

    My suggested library for python: python-telegram-bot

    1. Create a bot.
    2. Add the bot to the desired group as administrator.
    3. Listen to messages as you normally listen in bots.

    Method 2:

    My suggested library for python: Telethon

    1. Join the desired group as a user (not a bot).
    2. Create a simple client that listens to new messages.
    Login or Signup to reply.

    Using Telethon

    Replace channel_name with your telegram channel. 

    from telethon import TelegramClient, events, sync

# Remember to use your own values from my.telegram.org!
api_id = ...
api_hash = '...'
client = TelegramClient('anon', api_id, api_hash)

@client.on(events.NewMessage(chats='channel_name'))
async def my_event_handler(event):
    print(event.raw_text)

client.start()
client.run_until_disconnected()
