In general we don't support converting "random" python objects that don't have a direct mapping to one of the arrow types (so some exceptions from the stdlib are Decimals and datetime objects). If you want to convert such an array or pandas column to arrow, you can do the conversion yourself in advance (i.e. in your case extracting the name from each value, and converting to a Categorical). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
