Joris Van den Bossche created ARROW-13612:
---------------------------------------------
Summary: [Python] Allow specifying a custom type for converting
ExtensionScalar to python object
Key: ARROW-13612
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13612
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Test
Components: Python
Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche
As a follow-up on ARROW-13541
(https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10904#discussion_r686609844), we could
have a mechanism that the ExtensionType can control the behaviour of
{{ExtensionScalar.as_py()}} method.
Similarly as we have {{\_\_arrow_ext_class\_\_}} for using an ExtensionArray
subclass for the array object, we could indeed have a way to specify a custom
scalar wrapper.
