* For a better jump link (#355)
* Update Python-API.md
* for a better jump in page
A space is needed between `#` and the headers content according to Github's markdown format [guideline](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/)
After adding the spaces, we can jump to the exact position in page by click the link.
