> 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.
