[jira] [Created] (ARROW-1201) Python types cause a core dump when repr-ing

Phillip Cloud created ARROW-1201:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Python types cause a core dump when repr-ing
                 Key: ARROW-1201
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1201
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 0.4.1
            Reporter: Phillip Cloud
            Assignee: Phillip Cloud


The {{type}} member is {{NULL}} if you construct these types in the standard Python way, which causes a core dump when trying to inspect the type. I think the best we can do here is raise an exception indicating that the type isn't properly initialized and that these types aren't really meant for users to use directly.

It might also be prudent to remove these from the toplevel {{pyarrow/__init__.py}} so that they aren't visible alongside the public API.
