Description

Currently the following language bindings are supported:
- Java
- Kotlin
- Swift
- Go

It would be nice to add Python to the list, as it's one of the most popular programming languages, and it is often used to process configuration.

A first step towards achieving this may be the creation of a C API, which Python could then wrap:
- #8

Research direction

Start by reading issue #8 and the 23-comment discussion to understand the proposed C API and how it would support Python bindings. No source files or tests are named in this issue. Done means an agreed implementation plan exists for Python support, including the C API prerequisite and the resulting binding scope.
