> Currently, `VariantVal`'s cannot be created in Python. The `VariantVal` type can only be used to read Variants from existing DataFrames. In order to create Variants, one can only hard-code byte values of Variants (like `VariantVal(bytes([12, i]), bytes([1, 0, 0]))`) which is not useful at all. There should be some easy way for Python developers to create variants from JSON strings/potentially other ways, for example a `parse_json` API implementation in Python.
