The Adaptive Cards SDK doesn't have Python support, unfortunately, so you won't be able to make dynamic cards directly in your bot code. However, you can still use Adaptive Card Templating, so your cards can be somewhat dynamic, although it's limited to the data you include in the card.

So, you really have two options:

Change from Python to .NET or JS, or
Write your card JSON, load it in Python, and edit it dynamically in your code before attaching it to an activity. I go over that a bit in #3, here--it's in C#, but the same concept applies.
