             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/.
