I haven’t included arange as docs were not generated for it and I cannot say why yet.

Thanks @tadeja!

I haven’t included arange as docs were not generated for it and I cannot say why yet.

I think it should have been here:

arrow/docs/source/python/api/arrays.rst

Lines 24 to 33 in 0c20874

	Factory Functions
	-----------------
	These functions create new Arrow arrays:
	.. autosummary::
	:toctree: ../generated/
	array
	nulls

Which also made me realize that some others in that module are missing too:

• asarray
  • https://github.com/rok/arrow/blob/04916ca84c1a6a9d3ecc0bde7d809e9718acef2b/python/pyarrow-stubs/pyarrow/array.pyi#L136-L140
• repeat
  • https://github.com/rok/arrow/blob/04916ca84c1a6a9d3ecc0bde7d809e9718acef2b/python/pyarrow-stubs/pyarrow/array.pyi#L150-L154

@dangotbanned that should be correct. I would also add infer_type as it seems to be missing too (though it would need a separate section or be in a subsection of Array Types).

[AlenkaF]

Thank you for updating our API docs @tadeja!
I have added minor suggestions otherwise the changes look good. I also checked the rendered pages and found no issues.

Note, the changes in this PR would close two issues:

• #48095
• #45322

Maybe the second issue could be linked from the PR description also.

[tadeja]

Thanks @AlenkaF, @dangotbanned.
Just note that asarray does not seem to get picked up on the Arrays doc page. I am checking locally if adding it to pyarrow/init.py could do the trick.

LGTM, thanks!!

@AlenkaF
Note: This PR is now adding asarray to __ init __.py, and making it publicly available where it wasn't so far.

A side note regarding added
index_in_meta_binary and is_in_meta_binary - see older items here (first #29556 then #29839)

Oh, yeah. I seem to remember we have talked about this with Joris in the past. It is a bit confusing for the user to have array and asarray available specially because asarray is a thin wrapper around array(). We might want to keep it as is for now and not add asarray to the API docs.

A side note regarding added
index_in_meta_binary and is_in_meta_binary - see older items here (first #29556 then #29839)

I think #29556 can be closed and we might want to wait for #29839 to be solved before adding index_in_meta_binary and is_in_meta_binary to the API docs?

[AlenkaF]

Thanks @tadeja!
@raulcd would you mind having a look before I merge?

[tadeja]

@AlenkaF, thank you. So I've removed asarray, index_in_meta_binary and is_in_meta_binary from this PR for now as advised.

[AlenkaF]

Not sure why the linter job is failing on an unrelated code.

[AlenkaF]

There is already an open PR for the linter error here: #48173.
It is unrelated to this PR so can be merged after another pair of 👀

[raulcd]

I'll try to look at this later today

[raulcd]

I've gone over the rendered docs and this looks great to me! Thank you very much @tadeja for the work here!
