Description

Example:

# python 3.6.5
In [1]: import pyarrow as pa

In [2]: str(pa.array(['a'])[0])  # note the single quotes
Out[2]: "'a'"

In [3]: str(pa.array([1], pa.timestamp('s'))[0])
Out[3]: "Timestamp('1970-01-01 00:00:01')"

instead of

# python 3.6.5
In [1]: import pyarrow as pa

In [2]: str(pa.array(['a'])[0])
Out[2]: "a"

In [3]: str(pa.array([1], pa.timestamp('s'))[0])
Out[3]: "1970-01-01 00:00:01"
