Description

The JVM based stateful functions implementation, has a RequestReply extension (a protocol and an implementation) that allows calling into any HTTP endpoint that implements that protocol.

Although it is possible to implement this protocol independently, we should provide a minimal library for the Python programing language, that:

1. Allows users to define and declare their functions in a convenient way
2. Dispatch an invocation request sent from the JVM to the appropriate function previously declared
