Description

Shall we do another attempt at providing Python bindings? I believe some work was started on this during a GSoC? I thought that this was the case, but I cannot find the relevant PR or issue. If so , Should we maybe try to finish this? I'd be willing to put in work and follow the guidance we have on this. I really enjoy working with PCL and prototyping would be substantially easier (for me at least) if we had Python bindings.
