Cartesian Path Planning in Python API

[BBlumhofer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current Python API of Moveit2 does not support Cartesian Path planning. To use moveit solely ia python this would be very important

Describe the solution you'd like
Similar to the move_group_Interface a function to compute the cartesian path

@BBlumhofer Did you make any headway with this? Do I understand correctly that the Python API is available in ROS1/MoveIt1 but not in ROS2/MoveIt2? Is it just the thin Python wrapper around the C code that is missing?

I haven't seen it confirmed, but I believe the Python API for the Pilz industrial stuff (now in MoveIt) is missing from ROS2, which is forcing me to stay on ROS1. This ticket suggests some kind of workaround:

#2463

Do I understand correctly that in ROS2 the Python code is mainly thin wrappers that call the underlying C libraries?
