### Describe the usage question you have. Please include as many useful
details as possible.
I have a parquet file which I am reading with pyarrow.
```
In [83]: pq.read_schema('dummy_file.parquet').field('dummy_column').type
Out[83]: DictionaryType(dictionary<values=string, indices=int32, ordered=0>)
```
It says it is a column of dictionary type which is similar to a sql enum or
pandas category type. Now I want to find the values present in the dictionary
type, how do I do that?
It says in
[here](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.DictionaryType.html#pyarrow.DictionaryType.value_type)
that:
The dictionary values are found in an instance of DictionaryArray.
But how do I get this `DictionaryArray`?
### Component(s)
Parquet, Python
