Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2008:
---------------------------------------
This seems to work here:
{code:python}
>>> a = np.zeros(1, dtype=np.object)
>>> a[0] = np.int16([4,5,6])
>>> pa.array(a)
<pyarrow.lib.ListArray object at 0x7f72e9141f48>
[
[4,
5,
6]
]
>>> pa.array(a).type
ListType(list<item: int16>)
{code}
and also:
{code:python}
>>> pa.array(pd.Series(a))
<pyarrow.lib.ListArray object at 0x7f72e9018048>
[
[4,
5,
6]
]
>>> pa.array(pd.Series(a)).type
ListType(list<item: int16>)
{code}
> [Python] Type inference for int32 NumPy arrays (expecting list<int32>)
> returns int64 and then conversion fails

> See report in [https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/1430]
> {{arrow::py::InferArrowType}} is called, when traverses the array as though

> as such
