REF/API: make construct_array_type a non-classmethod (original) (raw)

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

Issue Description

It is already a non-classmethod for StringArray, in order to support different storage attributes that are present on the instance but not on the class. We should make this official if, as seems likely, more dtypes are going to become parametrized (see PDEP-13, PDEP-14)

Expected Behavior

NA
