Description

The Python 3 implementation of Avro lacks support for logical types.

Some earlier work has been done on adding some logical types for Python 2 (see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1837 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1816) but none are comprehensive or have been merged in. I have started on adding support for all logical types to the Python 3 implementation only, and will submit a Github PR soon.
