ARROW-7168: [Python] Respect the specified dictionary type for pd.Categorical conversion https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7168 This change ensures that if you specify a `type` in `pa.array`, we ensure the output actually has this type when converting to dictionary array (as we also do for other types). The PR now implements this change, but we might want to do this with a deprecation first, as this can break people's code. Closes #5866 from jorisvandenbossche/ARROW-7168-categorical-specified-type and squashes the following commits: 39ff8e82c <Joris Van den Bossche> more python 2 e4dbb2c4f <Joris Van den Bossche> try fix python 2 003e6532b <Joris Van den Bossche> for now use deprecation warnings instead of error bfb82372b <Joris Van den Bossche> additional tests 3535a5699 <Joris Van den Bossche> ARROW-7168: Respect the specified dictionary type when converting pd.Categorical Authored-by: Joris Van den Bossche <jorisvandenbossche@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Antoine Pitrou <antoine@python.org>
