Description

In the same way some users might be interested in interacting with normal DataFusion through Python, they might also be interested in interacting with distributed DataFusion through Python.

Probably the Python interface is not going to offer the same level of customization as the Rust native code, but that sounds fair.

Along with the Python bindings, an example of how to use them would be amazing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how normal DataFusion exposes its Python interface, then compare that surface with the distributed DataFusion capabilities described here. Define which functionality the bindings should support and how the example should demonstrate it. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so the implementation scope needs maintainer guidance before work begins.
