Hi @jlloyd-widen , thanks for the contribution!

Can you please add unit and integration tests that cover these new types? thx

@Samira-El I tried running unit and integrations test (didn't even try adding new ones) and I couldn't get them to pass successfully. The instructions in the readme did not work for me. nosetest didn't actually run any tests and pytest fails half the tests right from the get-go. Until I have a way to pass all existing tests, I don't see a point to adding new ones. Some guidance on how to run these tests successfully would be appreciated.

Hey, not sure what you meant by instructions didn't work for you and nosetests didn't run any tests.

Please try running again with the same commands as the CI job.

@Samira-El I've updated my code to incorporate your most recent changes and I've added a few integration tests regarding the blob, and binary types. I also fixed a few of the other data type integration tests that appeared to be failing. let me know what you think.
