Implement Python bindings

[aliddell]

• Implement Python bindings
  • Add a CMake option (off by default) to build Python bindings
  • Add setup.py, pyproject.toml, and MANIFEST.in with which you can install acquire_zarr in your environment
  • Add a job to build Python wheels

Tests coming later. Stay tuned...

LGTM, but I'd like to get someone else's opinion on the Python packaging, because I don't know that part.

[jeskesen]

So, from my perspective, it wasn't readily understandable how to build the new python bindings. I did it the "CMake way", with a configure/build/install step, and they weren't installed in the "install" directory (as it appears there's no install step added in the

Over Slack, @aliddell showed me how to build it the "python" way: python -m build, and that worked fine. So, I'll approve this, but can we open a new ticket to update build instructions?

[jeskesen]

A topic for discussion: do we think it might be worth building ways to implicitly (or explicitly) convert between numpy's DType & ZarrDataTypes?

[aliddell]

Yeah, I think that might be worthwhile to do.
