Python SDK for Crawlee?

I can see a Python SDK for Apify has been released. Is a Python SDK also planned for Crawlee with the same functionality as Javascript/Typescript with Cheerio and Playwright?

I really like how Crawlee works so this would be quite nice and would help me build scrapers faster and better.

No. The Python SDK has a total different purpose. Also, from experience I can tell you that Python bindings for Playwright for example... are total garbage.

javascript is like the "father" of typescript, for your learning curve, the best thing would be to start on javascript and than move to typescript.

yes but it is also prone to errors because it has no type checks I am not fond of that Especially coming from c# I can write javascript/typescript I just prefer a different language
