Feature request: Python API which allows users to output actual alignment #129

Similar to this issue:

https://github.com/Martinsos/edlib/issues/127

@yech1990 did an excellent job in writing edlib2pair(). I think it would be invaluable to have such functionality in the Python API.

I have the same question about how to implement this method into the python bindings; I'm a bit unsure how to proceed.

Thank you for the excellent work! Very much appreciated

(Also, this is naturally not a bug, but I don't appear to have the ability to replace this with the flag 'enhancement'. Sorry about this)

@evanbiederstedt thanks for reaching out! I responded to @yech1990 in the issue #127 thanks to your prompt here, and since it is the same thing as this issue, I will close it in favor of #127, we can continue discussion there.
