Microsoft Bot Framework Bot Builder
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, but with caution. The package has low install friction and no known vulnerabilities, and it remains in production/stable status. However, the archived repository and abandoned maintenance status mean no future updates or support. Install only if you are maintaining an existing bot that already depends on it, or if you have thoroughly verified that the entire Bot Framework Python ecosystem meets your current needs and you accept the risk of no upstream maintenance.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python >= 3.7.0 as stated in the package documentation.
- Low install friction with a pure Python wheel.
- However, the repository is archived and marked as abandoned, with no releases since 2026-01-05 (221 days ago).

What it is and what it does
botframework-streaming is a Microsoft-maintained library that adds streaming transport capabilities to the Bot Framework ecosystem. It handles the low-level protocol for bidirectional communication between bot services and clients, typically over WebSocket connections, and integrates with botbuilder-schema and botframework-connector to form the transport layer of a bot application.
The package is positioned as a stable, production-ready component within the broader Bot Framework Python suite. However, its repository is now archived and abandoned, meaning no new features or bug fixes are being developed. It remains available for existing projects that depend on it, but teams building new bots should verify whether the entire Bot Framework Python ecosystem is still the right choice for their use case.
Use it for
- Building Python bots that communicate with Bot Framework services using streaming transports instead of HTTP polling.
- Integrating custom bot services with Microsoft Bot Framework's connector infrastructure over persistent connections.
- Enabling real-time, bidirectional messaging between bot backends and clients in low-latency scenarios.
- Extending existing Bot Framework deployments with streaming protocol support for improved responsiveness.
