             Summary: [Python] Allow to create BooleanArray from a list of 0 and 1
                 Key: ARROW-11646
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-11646
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: quentin lhoest


Currently one can create a BooleanArray using these ways:

{code:python}
pa.array([False, True, True, False])
pa.array(np.array([0, 1, 1, 0]), type=pa.bool_())
pa.array([0, 1, 1, 0]).cast(pa.bool_())
{code}


But creating it this way fails:

{code:python}
pa.array([0, 1, 1, 0], type=pa.bool_())
{code}
