Research direction

Inspect the Sphinx documentation configuration for the Python bindings, especially the sidebar setup, and review the generated page layout. The work is done when the documentation includes a backlink to https://precice.org/couple-your-code-api.html and the link is visible in the sidebar or equivalent navigation.

Description

documentation

In the Sphinx documentation, there is no backlink to the preCICE website. That would be useful for people landing directly to the Python bindings documentation from a search engine, for example.

I think that adding something in the sidebar, for example, would be good. It could link to https://precice.org/couple-your-code-api.html
