instead of putting effort into implementing yet another binding for a language
why not implement the hooks as configurable rest calls and then have something
like python/flask to connect to or whatever else you prefer.

I was planning on on doing that to the previously announced hook library.  Priorities
are on other projects atm but that would be my way of proceding once I migrate
my customer from classic isc dhcp to kea.

Greetings
