> [C++][Python] Support casting an Extension type to its storage type
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-7858
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7858
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: C++, Python
> Reporter: Joris Van den Bossche
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, casting an extension type will always fail: "No cast implemented
> from extension<arrow.py_extension_type> to ...".
> However, for casting, we could fall back to the storage array's casting rules?
