Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-1718:
-------------------------------------
There's a bit of work to do here but it will be for the greater good. I changed
the title to reflect the scope of the work (which is more than a bugfix).
Should have a patch out in the next few days
> [Python] Implement casts from timestamp to date32/date64 and support in
> Array.from_pandas

> When calling {{Array.from_pandas}} with a pandas.Series of dates and
> specifying the desired pyarrow type, an error occurs. If the type is not
> specified then {{from_pandas}} will interpret the data as a timestamp type.
