> [Python] PyArray_SimpleNew should not be used with NPY_DATETIME
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: ARROW-991
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-991
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Python
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0
> Reporter: Wes McKinney
> Assignee: Wes McKinney
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.4.0
>
>
> From a non-deterministic test failure in pandas reported to me by [~jreback],
> I see that {{PyArray_SimpleNew}} calls {{PyArray_DescrFromType}}, which
> returns a reference to a cached dtype:
> https://github.com/numpy/numpy/blob/1d592c12ca7f9c7f471aa8d20b538c5cb4f2cdce/numpy/core/src/multiarray/arraytypes.c.src#L4403.
> Since we expect to be able to mutate a datetime64 dtype in libarrow_python,
> this can cause failures in other code when uses a dtype that we have
> accidentally mutated internally.
> Luckily we are only modifying dtype metadata in a couple of places so this
> should not be too invasive to fix:
> https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/python/pandas_convert.cc#L1995
