Add missing test that ensures that python-code example in README executes without error.

#48 should be merged first (since that PR updates the pre-commit github action, without that update the linting action fails)

Describe your changes

Add a test which looks for python codeblocks in README and executes them. Having this test will ensure that python codeblock examples in README keep working as the codebase evolves.

No changes to dependencies.

Issue Link

In reviewing #32 I just realised that the example in the README hadn't been updated. I am adding this test to ensure that that should be caught be tests in future.
