[Feature Request] Create official Pydantic contrib module

[cretz]

Describe the solution you'd like

Pydantic is popular/common enough and people are struggling with https://github.com/temporalio/samples-python/tree/main/pydantic_converter enough (or just that we haven't shown V2 yet: temporalio/samples-python#97), that we should just make a temporalio.contrib.pydantic module as a pydantic extra similar to what we have done with opentelemetry.

It should contain:

• A JSON encoding payload converter that works with Pydantic models to/from JSON
• A default payload converter that puts Pydantic converter just above the default JSON encoding payload converter in the list
• A default data converter using that default payload converter
• Some way to solve the datetime issue mentioned in the sample's README (maybe just a built-in Pydantic-safe worker runner that customizes the sandbox for them if there's no better way)
  • We might also want the converter to warn if it can when it sees a Pydantic datetime and the fix is not enabled in the sandbox and there's no better way to fix the issue

@cretz Is there any movement on this?
I almost passed on Temporal in favor of FastStream and Tasik because of the relative friction of using the Python SDK in comparison.

I am afraid not yet, but it is on the near-term backlog. We will look into prioritizing.

@Kilo59 as you can see from the above PR, we are working on it!

@Kilo59 the latest version of the SDK now has official Pydantic (v2) support: https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-python/releases/tag/1.10.0
