classmethod ExtensionArray._from_sequence_of_strings(strings, *, dtype, copy=False)

  Construct a new ExtensionArray from a sequence of strings.

  Parameters:
    strings Sequence

      Each element will be an instance of the scalar type for this array, `cls.dtype.type`.

    dtype ExtensionDtype

      Construct for this particular dtype. This should be a Dtype compatible with the ExtensionArray.

    copy bool, default False

      If True, copy the underlying data.

  Returns:
    ExtensionArray
