> 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.
