Add python as a target for bindings

[tomerweller]

Python is the second most used SDK in the Stellar ecosystem (after JS). It is often used by market makers and autogenerated bindings could reduce the cost of integration with defi protocols

That's indeed a great idea. I've added this to my TODO list.

Hi, @olivmath this issue requires some Python improvements, I will start working on the Python side this week (I've been tied up with other projects lately).

If you're interested in contributing, feel free to check out other issues, or you can wait until I finish the Python improvements.

Thanks!

In Python SDK 12.0.0-beta4, we have significantly reduced the difficulty of calling contracts, and an example is provided in the release notes. This also makes the subsequent work of creating bindings much simpler; we only need to extend ContractClient.

I implemented it in Python, and I think we can add a Python option in stellar-cli and link to this project instead of adding another implementation in this repository?

example:

> stellar contract bindings python
Please use `stellar-contract-bindings` to generate Python bindings: https://github.com/lightsail-network/stellar-contract-bindings
