Currently the test workflow (GHA) only support python versions 3.9 to 3.11, need to add 3.12. I tried to add 3.12 recently and found a build issue, need more investigation.

Benchmark-cli protobuf multiple top level objects use case

1

We adds support to benchmark data that includes top-level objects for JSON and CBOR. Need investigation for protobuf too.

Currently, benchmark-cli is able to benchmark data that includes multiple top level objects when `io-type=file`. We should enable this for `io-type=buffer` too. Reference PR - https://github.com/amazon-ion/ion-python/pull/315

Currently, build test on windows doesn't support python 3.8, it throws below exception ``` Run python3 -m venv ./venv Error: [WinError [2](https://github.com/amazon-ion/ion-python/actions/runs/6963159507/job/18948248057#step:5:2)] The system cannot find the file specified Error:...

When running below on the GHA Windows runner. ``` python ./amazon/ionbenchmark/ion_benchmark_cli.py compare ./tests/benchmark_sample_data/compare/cats_baseline.ion ./tests/benchmark_sample_data/compare/cats_baseline.ion --fail ``` It throws ``` UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 0-64: character maps...

It would be good to do more investigation on below items: 1. For the source distribution, we now distribute c binaries to PYPI too but the script will clean them...

Ion Python's documentation needs to be improved

1

Some customers found that the lack of documentation makes them really hard to onboard Ion. This GH issue will be used for discussing a long-term solution.

#### Description: Specifically, `item()` and `iteritems()`. The original conversation is available in https://github.com/amazon-ion/ion-python/pull/284#discussion_r1319185416. In details, in Python 2: ``` dict.items() Description: Return a **list** of the dictionary's (key, value) tuple...

Adds orjson into Ion python benchmark cli

2

Currently, orjson is removed from ion-python-benchmark-cli due to pypy incompatible. Need to add it back later.

ion-python-benchmark-cli's threshold value need to be more accurate.

2

The benchmark-cli's performance detection workflow fails if the performance regression exceeds the threshold value. Currently, the threshold is set to 1, meaning that the workflow only fails when the new...
