--------------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Allow to create BooleanArray from a list of 0
and 1
Key: ARROW-11646
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11646
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Python
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: quentin lhoest
Currently one can create a BooleanArray using these ways:
{code:python}
pa.array([False, True, True, False])
pa.array(np.array([0, 1, 1, 0]), type=pa.bool_())
pa.array([0, 1, 1, 0]).cast(pa.bool_())
{code}
But creating it this way fails:
{code:python}
pa.array([0, 1, 1, 0], type=pa.bool_())
{code}
