Fletcher?Array.__setitem__ doesn't preserve views
xhochy opened this issue · comments
TestBaseSetitemTests::test_setitem_preserves_views is failing as views don't update their parent on __setitem__.
Views are an extremely tricky beast due to nested projections and all the slice parameters python allows. See https://github.com/JDASoftwareGroup/rle-array/blob/master/rle_array/_slicing.py for some useful helpers. In case you need them, we could probably extract them.

With the support of Apache Arrow-backed extension arrays in pandas, the major goal of this project has been fulfilled.
