Description

so i'm well aware that a python client exists for Google Maps package. im toying around with find_place() function on python and i noticed that you have one of the parameters "location_bias" existing in two ways in the curl requests but not in python client. specifically, users can specify `locationBias` or `locationRestriction` in their places query - one is more search restricting than the other. i use places API in conjunction with Geocoder API and when dealing with location filters or restrictions, i think it's a waste of tokens to geocode places well-outside the specified area. since i am using python client, `locationBias` is the only parameter available to me (e.g. location_bias=), i wish to use `locationRestriction` instead for a more restricted place search.

so i just wanted to write this suggesting to include `locationRestriction` in the python client if possible.
