First pass of minimal Python API

[dixonjoel]

What does this Pull Request accomplish?

Add some stubs for the Python API so we can review it and hash out the types we'll be using and the basic form of the API. Once we agree on some basic stuff, we can work on implementation and testing.

Why should this Pull Request be merged?

Simple start to get the API rolling.

What testing has been done?

Add a (commented out) test that shows what the API would look like from the user's perspective.

How did this pass? typing.Any is only for type checking, not for run time. Use object if you want to short-circuit the type check.

>>> import typing
>>> isinstance(3, typing.Any)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\bkeryan\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.11.9\Lib\typing.py", line 515, in __instancecheck__
    raise TypeError("typing.Any cannot be used with isinstance()")
TypeError: typing.Any cannot be used with isinstance()

Tests should use triple underscore as a separator.
