Hi, I'm trying to create a `DataArray` with coordinates that are tuples and potentionally even more dimensional objects. The way I did it is to create an empty `numpy` array with `dtype=object` and then insert my tuples inside. This doesn't throw an error when creating a `DataArray` (as opposed to using a 2D ndarray or a list of lists). However, when trying to save it to `zarr` or `netcdf`. I get an error saying `ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence` ### What did you expect to happen? I want to be able to save and load such coordinates without errors. Maybe there is a cleaner way to do it than the object dtype ndarray? ### Minimal Complete Verifiable Example ```Python n = 5 x = np.empty(n, dtype=object) for i in range(n): x[i] = (i, i) xr.DataArray(np.arange(n), dims=(""x""), coords={""x"": x}).to_zarr(""test"") ``` ### MVCE confirmation - [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray. - [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback. - [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or [Binder notebook](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/pydata/xarray/main?urlpath=lab/tree/doc/examples/blank_template.ipynb), returning the result. - [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate. ### Relevant log output ```Python File c:\Users\Wiktor\AppData\Local\pypoetry\Cache\virtualenvs\spin1-JGuolXDk-py3.11\Lib\site-packages\xarray\core\dataarray.py:4014, in DataArray.to_netcdf(self, path, mode, format, group, engine, encoding, unlimited_dims, compute, invalid_netcdf) 4010 else: 4011 # No problems with the name - so we're fine! 4012 dataset = self.to_dataset() -> 4014 return to_netcdf( # type: ignore # mypy cannot resolve the overloads:( 4015 dataset, 4016 path, 4017 mode=mode, 4018 format=format, 4019 group=group, 4020 engine=engine, 4021 encoding=encoding, 4022 unlimited_dims=unlimited_dims, ... 101 result = np.empty(data.shape, dtype) --> 102 result[...] = data 103 return result ValueError: setting an array element with a sequence. ``` ### Anything else we need to know? _No response_ ### Environment
