@donmendelson Just wanted to make you aware of our python SBE decoder implementation...

[donmendelson]

Nice work. FIX Trading Community does not yet have an independent conformance test suite. Have you tested interoperability with real-logic/simple-binary-encoding ?

[tfgm-bud]

Thanks Don. We have done some limited testing with the Real Logic encoder and we can decode stuff encoded with their encoder. They had a python generator at one point but it was ripped out of the code when they did a revamp. Hence we decided to just roll our own. For the most part, we have been using it to decode CME MDP 3.0 market data. It works well for that. We will also add support for the new CBOE Vector platform fairly soon.

The SBE spec is now at version 1.0 Draft Standard. Can you verify your level of compatibility?

[tfgm-bud]

He Don. I'll take a look.

Since I last commented on this, FIX Trading Community added a simple conformance test. See https://github.com/FIXTradingCommunity/fix-sbe-conformance. If you can demonstrate conformance test code, I'll make a note of it in the FIX spec project.
