title: Adding an adaptive card to bot framework with python
body: <p>I am playing a little bit with the samples of the bot framework in python from here <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/botbuilder-python" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/Microsoft/botbuilder-python</a>
  Now I want to add a simple adaptive card to the response which I believe it is the part where it says await context.send_activity(response) but I can not attach the card. I grabbed the card from the docs sample:</p>
