lidavidm opened a new issue, #47123: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/47123
### Describe the enhancement requested It would be nice if either (1) BaseExtensionType extended ExtensionType so that the class hierarchy makes sense, (2) there was some enum of all the type IDs that could be used for checking (I see lib.Type_FIXED_SIZE_LIST etc. but I don't think that's really meant for public use?). If we did this ideally it would be a Python enum and/or have a method to stringify the ID, too. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
