Equivalent SomeMsg_C_addAuthor() functionality for Python modules to call

[Thomas-Chan-2019]

Hey! I am currently implementing custom Python controller modules to interface with Gazebo-based laboratory environments, these within the BSK-MultiSat Framework for formation flights implementations.

May I know if there are equivalent functionalities for Python modules like SomeMsg_C_addAuthor() so that I can redirect messages like C/C++ modules (c.f. Advanced: Redirecting Module Output to Stand-Alone Message)? There is a possibility for our use case to switch between flight mode as well and I was looking through if there are workarounds. I was doing something like below to avoid simulation run errors, but I am not use if this would be problematic...

def __init__(self):
        super(transError, self).__init__()

        # Input translational structure message from SCState
        self.targetTransInMsg = messaging.NavTransMsgReader()
        self.chaserTransInMsg = messaging.NavTransMsgReader()
        self.transRefInMsg = messaging.TransRefMsgReader()
        
        # Output translational guidance message name, newly created and recompiled
        self.transGuidOutMsg = messaging.TransGuidMsg_C() # Dirty fix to allow C_addAuthor to work. Need to review!
        # self.transGuidOutMsg = messaging.TransGuidMsg()

I have previously checked that in #266 it is also possible to switch operations based on a standalone Python Module, but I am not fully convinced if this is the best approach. Are there any guidelines when connecting customized Python modules with messages to utilize the SomeMsg_C_addAuthor() function?

Thank you!
