Probably will leave as draft to wait for things to stabilize more; the beta seems a little unstable still. The Python API documentation doesn't seem updated to the latest branch, which could mess with the node settings generation script

The Python API looks updated. Was initially confused as it includes some experimental volume nodes that aren't currently exposed, but thanks to the auto-generation script NodeToPython now easily supports these
