Phillip Cloud updated ARROW-1201:
---------------------------------
Description:
The {{type}} member is {{NULL}} if you construct these types in the standard
Python way, which causes a core dump when trying to inspect the type. I think
the best we can do here is raise an exception indicating that the type isn't
properly initialized and that these types aren't really meant for users to use
directly.
It might also be prudent to remove these from the toplevel
{{pyarrow/{{__init__}}.py}} so that they aren't visible alongside the public
API.
