[Python] python kafka doesn't see headers/metadata while kafka ui and kafka go lang does

Kafka-python doesn't see kafka-headers, while kafka golang does. It doesn't see any headers in all the messages.

Example of code:

for message in consumer:
# message value and key are raw bytes -- decode if necessary!
# e.g., for unicode: `message.value.decode('utf-8')`
print(
"%s:%d:%d: key=%s headers=%s"
% (
message.topic,
message.partition,
message.offset,
message.key,
"".join(message.headers),
)
)


Expected:
