Amazon Ion Python

An implementation of Amazon Ion for Python.

This package is designed to work with Python 2.6+ and Python 3.3+

This package is an early work in progress under active development, and is not (yet) considered a complete implementation of Ion.

TODO

Here are some, rather critical, things that need to be implemented:

• Design and implement an event oriented text and binary pull-parser with coroutines.
• Provide a simplejson style API for ease-of-use.
  • Provide proper type mappings that retains Ion data model metadata (e.g. Ion type and annotations).

In addition, there are build, deployment, or release tasks that are required:

• Add Travis CI integration.
• Add support for code coverage reporting.
  • Publish coverage to something like Coverage.io
• Provide proper documentation generation via Sphinx.
  • Add good surrounding documentation around setup/development/contribution/getting started.
  • Publish documentation to Read the Docs.
• Follow Python Packaging Guide best practices as appropriate.
  • Distribute into PyPI
• Consider using something like PyPy.js to build an interactive shell for playing with Ion python and provide a client-side Ion playground.
