----------------------------------------
Summary: [Python Binding] Add support for all AMQP 1.0 types
Key: PROTON-1061
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-1061
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Task
Components: python-binding
Reporter: Kim van der Riet
Assignee: Kim van der Riet
Currently, a number of AMQP 1.0 simple types are not supported in the Python
binding. Only those types that "make sense" from a Python language
point-of-view are currently supported, but types such as the unsigned integral
types, 32-bit float and the decimal types are not supported. As long as the
Python client only talks to other Python clients, this approach makes sense,
but as soon as a Python client needs to talk to some other client that may
require these types, then an impasse is reached.
The AMQP types currently *NOT* supported in the Python binding are:
* Byte
* Short
* Int (32-bit)
* Ubyte
* Ushort
* Uint (32-bit)
* Float (32-bit)
* Decimal32
* Decimal64
* Decimal128
A proposed patch is available for review at https://reviews.apache.org/r/39479/.
