Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2281:
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure we need to expose {{ArrayData}} in Python. We could simply make it
implicit in our factory method, e.g.:
{code:python}
cdef class Array:
@classmethod
def from_buffers(cls, type, length, buffers, null_count=-1, offset=0):
...
{code}
> [Python] Expose MakeArray to construct arrays from buffers

> To create new arrays from existing buffers in Python, we would need to call
> into the C++ {{MakeArray}} method. This would then construct the Array and we
> would only wrap it in Python to have construction support for all Array types.
> This would also mean that we need to have a Python representation of
> {{ArrayData}}
