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

importpandasaspdimportpyarrowaspacol_names=pd.Series([3, 4]).astype("category").astype(pd.ArrowDtype(pa.dictionary(pa.int8(), pa.int8()))) pd.DataFrame({3: [1,2]}, columns=col_names)

Issue Description

Constructing a DataFrame using a dict and Series with a numeric dictionary ArrowDtype to indicate columns results in an empty DataFrame.

Using other dtypes seems to work perfectly, e.g. category type:

col_names=pd.Series([3, 4]).astype("category") pd.DataFrame({3: [1,2]}, columns=col_names)

Output:

34
01nan
12nan

Using a dictionary ArrowDtype with string categories also works:

col_names=pd.Series(["3","4"]).astype("category").astype(pd.ArrowDtype(pa.dictionary(pa.int64(), pa.utf8()))) pd.DataFrame({"3": [1,2]}, columns=col_names)

Output:

"3""4"
01nan
12nan

This bug might seem esoteric, but it bit me when trying to .stack a DataFrame with multiindex colums composed of numeric dictionary ArrowDtype:

col_level_1= ( pd.Series([3, 4]) .astype("category") .astype(pd.ArrowDtype(pa.dictionary(pa.int64(), pa.int64()))) ) col_level_2= ( pd.Series([5, 6]) .astype("category") .astype(pd.ArrowDtype(pa.dictionary(pa.int64(), pa.int64()))) ) multicol=pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([col_level_1, col_level_2]) df=pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [2, 4]], columns=multicol) df.stack()

Output:

Empty DataFrame Columns: [3, 4] Index: [] 

Expected Behavior

A DataFrame with the data provided to the constructor:

34
01nan
12nan
