Hey Wes,
What I meant by "standard" is the binary representation of a specific type
aggregated together.
The int32 column [1,2,3] would make
'\x01\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00' for example.
This is already available via Python's struct.pack(), array.array().tostring()
or np.a
hi Eli,
This isn't available at the moment, but one could make the internal
buffers in an array accessible in Python. How would you handle nulls
in this scenario (the bytes for a null value in a primitive array can
be any value)? How would one handle things other than numbers?
- Wes
