I remember that I had this on my (mental) to do list when initially implementing support for StringView in Python (https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/39652), but it seems I never got around opening an issue or PR for it. I think we have to either override `from_buffers` in the subclass (as we do for some other types), or update the hardcoded check `if type.num_buffers != len(buffers)` to address the fact that for string/binary_view types we have a variadic number of buffers, so that we can't do this check for those types. BTW, if you just remove that check for a moment, does your initial example then work? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
