[jira] [Comment Edited] (ARROW-2037) [Python]: Add tests for ARROW-1941 cases where pandas inferred type is 'empty'

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2037?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16858692#comment-16858692 ]

You get an "empty" inferred type if you have an object dtype with no rows or only missing values:

{code:python}
In [43]: s = pd.Series([], dtype=object)                                             

In [44]: pd.api.types.infer_dtype(s, skipna=True)                     
Out[44]: 'empty'

In [45]: s = pd.Series([None, None], dtype=object) 

In [46]: pd.api.types.infer_dtype(s, skipna=True)              
Out[46]: 'empty'
{code}

Not sure if that is what was meant, but the roundtrip for that is currently working, so can add a test for that.
