Description
conda packages are now available here
so this should be straightforward. a couple of things to note.
- should support the
LocalPath/PathLib
objects (easy as we do this in otherread_*
) - non-supported on windows ATM. need to skip for testing.
feather-format
will just raise anImportError
for now. - catch and re-raise for non-supported things, mainly object dtypes that are not all strings. Alternatively / maybe better to introspect these columns (via
lib.infer_dtype
) to prevent in the first place - test unicode support / encoding (not sure supported as of yet)
- biggest issue is how / if to support
Series
and aDataFrame
with a non-default index. As we need a facility to write/read meta-data within feather see here. Both these can simply.reset_index()
, but the problem is they can be stored but we don't know on read-back what to.set_index()
. Can just raise for now.
