Once this lands in zarr-python we should update here, if I understand things correctly.

This shouldn't be too hard on the zarrs-python side:

  • Convert Python variable length arrays to the zarrs representation ArrayBytes::Variable
  • Search for into_fixed(), new_flen() and add variable length support

There is an incompatibility between zarrs and zarr-python for variable-sized binary data that I am inclined to address in the next release. zarrs uses the Binary data type (matching ZEP0007) and zarr-python uses Bytes.
