pitrou opened a new issue, #37062: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/37062
### Describe the enhancement requested [pybind11](https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/) allows defining custom type casters to translate between C++ classes and Python objects: https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/cast/custom.html We already provide a [C++ API](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/integration/extending.html) to wrap and unwrap PyArrow objects from/to `PyObject` pointers. It would probably nicer to pybind11 users if we also provided a more automated facility. A draft implementation of some type casters was done by @timkpaine here: https://github.com/timkpaine/arrow-cpp-python-nocopy/blob/main/src/apn-python/caster.hpp ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
