Description
Pandas version checks
-
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
data = pd.date_range("2020-01-01", "2020-01-04", freq="1D")
data = data.astype("timestamp[us][pyarrow]")
print(np.array(data))returns
[Timestamp('2020-01-01 00:00:00') Timestamp('2020-01-02 00:00:00')
Timestamp('2020-01-03 00:00:00') Timestamp('2020-01-04 00:00:00')]
Issue Description
Given that other pyarrow types like int64[pyarrow]/float64[pyarrow] get converted to corresponding numpy types, one would assume the same happens for datetime/timedelta types.
Also, notably, pd.date_range creates an instance of DatetimeIndex, but casting to "timestamp[us][pyarrow]" converts it to a regular Index instance.
Expected Behavior
Converting a "timestamp[pyarrow]"-Index/Series to a numpy array should cast it to numpy.datetime64[ns].
