add validation methods to python bindings

[Machine-Maker]

Closes #304

[stefan-gorules]

Hi @Machine-Maker,

Apologies for the late reply. We had to focus on updating Pyo3 to support latest Python, some fixes regarding Python execution and #307.

This looks great! Could you just move the main portion of the code to Rust (maybe to validate.rs) and export these functions.

Then we can call them in Python, and export them to Python as well. We'll handle the case for other languages. Haven't forgotten for scientific JSON notation either, just want to merge couple of higher priority things first, and then we'll merge that one as well.

EDIT: So you don't need to rebase and modify code twice, I'll let you know once #307 is merged, as there are additional changes coming to Python.

Hi @Machine-Maker,

The pull request linked above has been merged now. Happy to move this forward once above is fixed. Thanks!

[Machine-Maker]

Ok, should be done.

Not a super expert in rust, so if this isn't setup the best, please let me know.

[stefan-gorules]

After these 2 minor changes (naming) happy to merge (note to update also in the caller)

[Machine-Maker]

Ok, renamed

[stefan-gorules]

Will need you to run cargo fmt --all as well (format pipeline is failing)

[Machine-Maker]

Done
