[Feature Request] API Calls like visualize_from_config can't process extensions.

[vproHacks]

API Calls can be seen in src/server/package/src/model_explorer/apis.py, I'd assume a simple modification like adding the extensions keyword argument as seen in cmdline.py of the same parent directory would suffice.

Hi @vproHacks, we reviewed your PR and request -- There are probably additional changes needed, we would like to understand your use case better (why you want to make this change) in order for us to help guide you better.

Hey! I simply wanted to configure the model_explorer using the inbuilt model_explorer.config() tool. I couldn't find that there wasn't any way to run a python function to load up this configuration and add my own extension on top of it without having to initiate a subprocess call. I thought that this would be a clean addition on top of the visualize_from_config function to provide that functionality. So far this small change has worked with the following script I've set up:

model_explorer.visualize_from_config(
        config=model_explorer_config,
        no_open_in_browser=True,
        port=model_explorer_port,
        extensions=['my_adapter']
    )

Hi @vproHacks, we are working on unit tests to be able to provide a harness to test out your changes. Thanks for your patience.

@yijie-yang @pkgoogle Any updates? It's been a while, just hoping that this doesn't get lost.

Yes, thanks! We'll add more unit tests to the python package for the code health later. For this PR, it's simple and we can directly approve it.
