             Summary: Table to_pandas fails when index contains categorical 
column
                 Key: ARROW-1743
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-1743
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 0.7.1
            Reporter: Brian Pendleton


Categorical columns in the index of a dataframe are causing a roundtrip 
failure.  

{code}
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [1, 2, 3]})
>>> df['a'] = df.a.astype('category')
>>> df = df.set_index('a')
>>> tbl = pa.Table.from_pandas(df)
>>> tbl.to_pandas()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "table.pxi", line 881, in pyarrow.lib.Table.to_pandas
  File 
"C:\Users\bpendlet\Miniconda3\envs\panpy3\lib\site-packages\pyarrow\pandas_compat.py",
 line 303, in table_to_blockmanager
    if not values.flags.writeable:
AttributeError: 'Categorical' object has no attribute 'flags'
{code}
