How do I send code snippets in MS Teams using Python's SDK framework?

Question

I can't seem to find a way to send code snippets using Python's SDK module. This is what I'm referring to.

I tried using three backsticks ``` and <codeblock> tags, but these are regular code blocks and not snippet codes.

code_snippet = Activity(
    type=ActivityTypes.message,
    text=f'```python\n{out}\n```',
)
await turn_context.send_activity(code_snippet)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The TextFormat property of a message can be used to specify the format of the text. The TextFormat property can be set to plain, markdown, or xml. The default value for TextFormat is markdown.

Example:

IMessageActivity message =  Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
message.Text = "Hello!";
message.TextFormat = "plain";
message.Locale = "en-Us";

There is no any text format available for code snippets.
