Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-14060:
-----------------------------------------------
Side question: why is it only for {{Table.from_pydict}}? I would suppose this
would tap into the generic conversion code for "sequences" (list-likes, object
dtype numpy arrays, so python_to_arrow.cc ({{ConvertPySequence}} and not
numpy_to_arrow.cc). So that this also works for eg {{pa.array([<uuid-object>,
..])}}.

> An example use case would be registering a type mapper that maps from UUID to
> a custom extension type or registering an extension type for `complex`.
> However, it could be used for builtin types as well (e.g. mapping all `int`
> to `pa.int8()`)
