Why would e.g. [None, 1] be converted to a 2D array?

Following the Traceback, the input list is converted to a 2D array in ndarray_to_mgr, where _prep_ndarraylike returns _ensure_2d(values).

values = _prep_ndarraylike(values, copy=copy)

It seems for other types of input, _ensure_2d is also called.

OK I see. Generally I think there would still be problems if a user passes a nested list (e.g. a "2x2" nested list) or a user passes dtype="datetime64[unit]"

I think generally maybe_cast_to_datetime should assume the incoming value is 1D since the _from_sequence calls assume the values are 1D also, so the DataFrame code should apply this column column-wise.

For nested list, nested_data_to_arrays in DataFrame.__init__ processes the data column-wise, so there is no problem.

There is no error for datetime64, because DatetimeArray._from_sequence actually happens to work with 2D array:

from pandas.core.arrays import DatetimeArray, TimedeltaArray
arr = DatetimeArray._from_sequence(np.array([[np.nan], [1]]), dtype="datetime64[ns]")

I think it is better to move the ravel and reshape in _try_cast below, sort of like the Unicode string dtype elif branch, so as to ensure the input of maybe_cast_to_datetime is 1D.

elif dtype.kind == "U":
# TODO: test cases with arr.dtype.kind in "mM"
if is_ndarray:
arr = cast(np.ndarray, arr)
shape = arr.shape
if arr.ndim > 1:
arr = arr.ravel()
else:
shape = (len(arr),)
return lib.ensure_string_array(arr, convert_na_value=False, copy=copy).reshape(
shape
)
elif dtype.kind in "mM":
return maybe_cast_to_datetime(arr, dtype)

cc @jbrockmendel if you have thoughts on this approach

res = TimedeltaArray._from_sequence(value.ravel(), dtype=dtype)
return res.reshape(value.shape)
res = TimedeltaArray._from_sequence(value, dtype=dtype)
