You can use git filter-branch to extract the python bindings (assuming it's self
contained in the python/ directory) while keeping history:

« To rewrite the repository to look as if foodir/ had been its project root,
and discard all other history:


    git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter foodir -- --all
»
(this example comes from git filter-branch manpage)
