Zelys	9d8699f99e	feat(python): support Enum types in Pydantic to Arrow schema conversion (#3232 ) ## Summary Fixes #1846. Python `Enum` fields raised `TypeError: Converting Pydantic type to Arrow Type: unsupported type <enum 'SomethingTypes'>` when converting a Pydantic model to an Arrow schema. The fix adds Enum detection in `_pydantic_type_to_arrow_type`. When an Enum subclass is encountered, the value type of its members is inspected and mapped to the appropriate Arrow type: - `str`-valued enums (e.g. `class Status(str, Enum)`) → `pa.utf8()` - `int`-valued enums (e.g. `class Priority(int, Enum)`) → `pa.int64()` - Other homogeneous value types → the Arrow type for that Python type - Mixed-value or empty enums → `pa.utf8()` (safe fallback) This covers the common `(str, Enum)` and `(int, Enum)` mixin patterns used in practice. ## Changes - `python/python/lancedb/pydantic.py`: add Enum branch in `_pydantic_type_to_arrow_type` - `python/python/tests/test_pydantic.py`: add `test_enum_types` covering `str`, `int`, and `Optional` Enum fields ## Note on #2395 PR #2395 handles `StrEnum` (Python 3.11+) specifically, using a dictionary-encoded type. This PR handles the broader `(str, Enum)` / `(int, Enum)` mixin pattern that works across all Python versions and stores values as their natural Arrow type. AI assistance was used in developing this fix.	2026-04-03 10:40:49 -07:00
