so i'm well aware that a python client exists for Google Maps package. im toying around with find_place() function on python and i noticed that you have one of the parameters "location_bias" existing in two ways in the curl requests but not in python client. specifically, users can specify
locationBiasorlocationRestrictionin their places query - one is more search restricting than the other. i use places API in conjunction with Geocoder API and when dealing with location filters or restrictions, i think it's a waste of tokens to geocode places well-outside the specified area. since i am using python client,locationBiasis the only parameter available to me (e.g. location_bias=), i wish to uselocationRestrictioninstead for a more restricted place search.so i just wanted to write this suggesting to include
locationRestrictionin the python client if possible.https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/text-search#location-bias
