Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

>>> a = pd.Series(["ab"], dtype=pd.ArrowDtype(pa.string()))
>>> a.str.get(1.2)
0    b
dtype: string[pyarrow]
>>>

Issue Description

According to the documentation, the index is required to be an int, so this should fail. When using the pandas StringDtype() an error is raised.

Expected Behavior

>>> a2 = pd.Series(["ab"], dtype=pd.StringDtype())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\pd_201_0425\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\strings\accessor.py", line 1059, in get
    result = self._data.array._str_get(i)
  File "C:\pd_201_0425\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\strings\object_array.py", line 269, in _str_get
    return self._str_map(f)
  File "C:\pd_201_0425\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\arrays\string_.py", line 599, in _str_map
    result = lib.map_infer_mask(
  File "pandas\_libs\lib.pyx", line 2786, in pandas._libs.lib.map_infer_mask
  File "C:\pd_201_0425\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\strings\object_array.py", line 266, in f
    return x[i]
TypeError: string indices must be integers
>>>

I expect an error to be raised, as the method is documented to require an integral index.
