Creating Python bindings for float

[cmastalli]

Dear Pinocchio developers,

As you know, we recently introduced Python bindings for float in Crocoddyl (see loco-3d/crocoddyl#1346). Using float in the context of MPC has proven highly valuable, offering good numerical stability in Crocoddyl’s solvers while significantly reducing computation time.

I believe adding Python bindings for float in Pinocchio would be beneficial, particularly for Crocoddyl users. Would the Pinocchio developers be open to supporting this?

From my understanding, implementing these bindings should not be overly complex. It mainly requires creating a context file and adapting Pinocchio’s CMake configuration. If there is agreement, I would be happy to help make this happen.

Best,
Carlos
