type of AMQP field not recognize

[Thomas BURGUIERE]

There is some AMQP field that are not implemented in txAMQP.

If I refer to this specification :
http://www.amqp.org/specification/0-9-1/amqp-org-download (specially page 31 of the pdf: Format Protocol Grammar)

I can see some field type that are not implemented in txAMQP (example filed-array)

I'am using a rabbitmq broker with federation plugin which use field-array (I was having a error in my code when receiving this type of field)

I've written a patch to implement encoding/decoding of those field (tested with the filed-array type which don't raise error now).

The field Decimal has been implemented the same way pika has implemented it. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pika

I encountered the need for field-array and timestamp decoding when consuming expired messages sent to dead letter exchange. I've got a working patch that adds just field-array and timestamp decoding, but then I saw this and gave it a try since it appears to have a comprehensive support for new data types introduced in amqp 0-9-1. However, the patch has a bunch of errors (pylint finds them all, btw). Attached is modified patch with these errors fixed.

Thanks for the fixed patch, which I confirm is better than mine and working :)
