What is your issue?
See: #9671 (comment)
At the moment, NamedArray
's backing data can fulfill _arrayfunction
although in practice, PandasIndexingAdapter
and PandasExtensionArray
don't actually fulfill this contract (although the later is much closer than the former). The following two lines are particularly problematic for non-numeric data:
xarray/xarray/namedarray/_typing.py
Lines 188 to 192 in d57f05c
FWIW numpy
arrays do always fulfill this even when it doesn't make sense (even object
dtypes have a imag
and real
). So I'm not sure how to move forward.
Of course, another issue is the whole _DType_co
being bound to numpy
. __getitem__
can return pandas dtypes but __array__
won't so maybe we need a base dtype and then a numpy one as well in the generic for the class?
