Python, Java/Kotlin and Swift wrapper

[DonaldTsang]

Adding this to https://github.com/hydrusnetwork/hydrus and associated mobile apps would be useful.
Hydrus is written in Python, BooruNav, AnimeBoxes and Nori are on Android, Mignori is on iOS

I would agree, I'd definitely like a Python and Java wrapper. I attempted to generate a Python one using https://github.com/go-python/gopy, but I'm fresh new to Go and don't understand any of it. @divan A python binding would be appreciated, and I think I know how to do a Java one.

[DonaldTsang]

@ThePlasmaRailgun I would say the minimum would be Swift for iOS, Java/Kotlin for android and Python/JS for prototyping and scripting.

[fionafibration]

Agreed. IDK whether there are facilities for compiling/importing/binding Go into JS, Java, or Swift, but I do know Python can import compiled Go with the tool I sent above.

the closest concept I have found is gomobile, but they note the bindings have performance overhead

[fionafibration]

GoMobile should be easy bindings, but my attempts at Python bindings have failed miserably. If anyone knows more about this or has more experience, then I'd love if you could take a crack at it.

[fionafibration]

Not yet, I'm still working on it.

@ThePlasmaRailgun is Kotlin better than Java?

[fionafibration]

We're writing it in Kotlin, I prefer it to Java.

As someone who learned Java and then switched over, I can definitely say its a better language
