Daniel Nugent commented on ARROW-5379: -------------------------------------- Is this actually something that would be appropriate to implement with extension types? It just requires that the mask actually be used with Pandas integer columns. > [Python] support pandas' nullable Integer type in from_pandas > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-5379 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5379 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Python > Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche > Priority: Major > > From https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/4168. We should add support for > pandas' nullable Integer extension dtypes, as those could map nicely to > arrows integer types. > Ideally this happens in a generic way though, and not specific for this > extension type, which is discussed in ARROW-5271 -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
