--------------------------------------------

             Summary: [Python] Conversion from boolean numpy scalars not working
                 Key: ARROW-7218
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7218
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Test
          Components: Python
            Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche


In general, we are fine to accept a list of numpy scalars:

{code}
In [12]: type(list(np.array([1, 2]))[0])                                                                                                                                                                           
Out[12]: numpy.int64

In [13]: pa.array(list(np.array([1, 2])))                                                                                                                                                                          
Out[13]: 
<pyarrow.lib.Int64Array object at 0x7f51a493e2e8>
[
  1,
  2
]
{code}

But for booleans, this doesn't work:

{code}
In [14]: pa.array(list(np.array([True, False])))
