Antoine Pitrou reassigned ARROW-9941: ------------------------------------- Assignee: Diana Clarke > [Python] Better string representation for extension types > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-9941 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-9941 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Wish > Components: C++, Python > Reporter: Antoine Pitrou > Assignee: Diana Clarke > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > Time Spent: 3h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > When one defines an extension type in Python (by subclassing > {{PyExtensionType}}) and uses that type e.g. in a Arrow table, the printed > schema looks like this: > {code} > pyarrow.Table > a: extension<arrow.py_extension_type> > b: extension<arrow.py_extension_type> > {code} > ... which isn't very informative. PyExtensionType could perhaps override > ToString() and call {{str}} on the type instance. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
