This is a starting point for Python solutions to the
["Build Your Own Kafka" Challenge](https://codecrafters.io/challenges/kafka).
In this challenge, you'll build a toy Kafka clone that's capable of accepting
and responding to APIVersions & Fetch API requests. You'll also learn about
encoding and decoding messages using the Kafka wire protocol. You'll also learn
about handling the network protocol, event loops, TCP sockets and more.
