https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/src/arrow/python/arrow_to_pandas.cc#L631 In Python 3, {{datetime.date}} objects are 32-bytes in addition to the {{PyObject*}}. So when there are many repeated dates, this will save a lot of memory in large DataFrame objects -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
