Bases:BaseExtensionType

Concrete class for UUID extension type.

__init__(*args,**kwargs)#

Methods

__init__(*args, **kwargs)
equals(self, other, *[, check_metadata])	Return true if type is equivalent to passed value.
field(self, i)
to_pandas_dtype(self)	Return the equivalent NumPy / Pandas dtype.
wrap_array(self, storage)	Wrap the given storage array as an extension array.

Attributes

bit_width	The bit width of the extension type.
byte_width	The byte width of the extension type.
extension_name	The extension type name.
has_variadic_buffers	If True, the number of expected buffers is only lower-bounded by num_buffers.
id
num_buffers	Number of data buffers required to construct Array type excluding children.
num_fields	The number of child fields.
storage_type	The underlying storage type.

bit_width#

The bit width of the extension type.

byte_width#

The byte width of the extension type.

equals(self,other,*,check_metadata=False)#

Return true if type is equivalent to passed value.

Parameters:

otherDataType orstrconvertible toDataType

check_metadatabool

Whether nested Field metadata equality should be checked as well.

Returns:

is_equalbool

Examples

>>>importpyarrowaspa>>>pa.int64().equals(pa.string())False>>>pa.int64().equals(pa.int64())True

Parameters:

storageArray orChunkedArray

Returns:

arrayArray orChunkedArray

Extension array wrapping the storage array
