this is a python and not a cimport, why are you not using checknull?

checknull only returns a single bint, and not an array. I would have liked to cimport isnaobj, but that didn't work.

so this isn array, ok, then add isnaobj to missing.pxd and make it a cpdef. then you can cimport it. (and you need to type return value)

I wonder if we can incorporate this skipna logic into the for-loop below. Perhaps have an indicator to tell us whether we have seen an element in the values array that is non-null (when skipna is True).

Unfortunately, that's not directly possible (nor performant), because the line directly below (with _try_infer_map) will return prematurely as soon as it can grab hold of a dtype.

val = _try_infer_map(values)
if val is not None:
return val
