----------------------------------
Labels: pull-request-available (was: )
> [Python] pa.array() sometimes ignore "safe=False"
> -------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-8567
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8567
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 0.17.0

> Priority: Minor

> Generally, {{pa.array(data).cast(sometype, safe=...)}} is equivalent to
> {{pa.array(data, sometype, safe=...)}}. Consider the following:
> {code:python}
> >>> pa.array([Decimal('12.34')]).cast(pa.int32(), safe=False)
> >>>
> >>>
> <pyarrow.lib.Int32Array object at 0x7efbbd1556e0>
> [
> 12
> ]
> >>> pa.array([Decimal('12.34')], pa.int32(), safe=False)
> >>>
> >>>
> <pyarrow.lib.Int32Array object at 0x7efbbd13dad0>
> [
> 12
> ]
> {code}
> However, that is not always the case:
> {code:python}
> >>> pa.array([Decimal('1234')]).cast(pa.int8(), safe=False)
> >>>
> >>>
> <pyarrow.lib.Int8Array object at 0x7efbbd18e4b0>
> [
> -46
> ]
> >>> pa.array([Decimal('1234')], pa.int8(), safe=False)
> >>>
> >>>
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> ...
> ArrowInvalid: Value 1234 too large to fit in C integer type
> {code}
> I don't think this is very important: first because you can call cast()
> directly, second because the results are unusable anyway.
