Broadly speaking, this is exactly what I had in mind. Convert AEP types <-> language-specific types.

high-level what is the strategy for these generated files? it seems like we'll check it in, but is there a how-to on how to generate these?

Added a regenerate.sh script that basically just runs buf generate.

Overall looks good to me! I'm a little back and forth about the to/from interface (feels like we should be using some more enum-focused serde, but with python's typing this might be best we can get. +1 to using the native data types and translated to / from that, rather than forcing adoption of some separate typing system (e.g. protobuf directly) |

I think we should also consider whether we can structure the codegen a bit so that we can code-generate the serde functions in a standard way (e.g. using some yaml metadata file). I know that gapic libraries took the tact of being hand-coded by I don't think that's going to be super maintainable long-term. |
Can you elaborate a bit on how this would work? It seems pretty complicated, would have to handle a mix of built-in types (
With LLMs I think it's actually not such a big deal, but maybe you have different kinds of issues in mind than what I'm thinking of. |

maybe this can be a module (decimal.py)? simple enough that it doesn't need to be a package.
This commit introduces a script to regenerate the Python files from their protobuf definitions. The changes include: - A new `python/regenerate.sh` script that uses `buf generate` to handle code generation. - An updated `buf.gen.yaml` to correctly configure the Python and gRPC plugins using the v2 syntax. - Updated import paths in the Python code to reflect the new generated structure. - Updated `python/README.md` to document the new script.
feat: Add script to regenerate protobuf files

Inspired by a recent convo on our Slack channel, this PR breaks ground on having type libraries for the AEP types.
To keep things simple, this PR just adds support for one language (Python) and one simple type (Decimal). If the overall approach looks good, we can add support for more types and languages.
