[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-2154) [Python] __eq__ unimplemented on Buffer

["Antoine Pitrou (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-2154?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16364050#comment-16364050 ] 

Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-2154:
---------------------------------------

Though we might like the fact that {{__eq__}} remains fast and doesn't compare contents. But in that case, perhaps it should at least compare the underlying pointer and size?

>             Project: Apache Arrow
>          Issue Type: Improvement

>    Affects Versions: 0.8.0

> Having to call {{equals()}} is un-Pythonic:
> {code:python}
> >>> pa.frombuffer(b'foo') == pa.frombuffer(b'foo')
> False
> >>> pa.frombuffer(b'foo').equals(pa.frombuffer(b'foo'))
> True
> {code}
> Same for many other pyarrow types, incidently.
