BUG: incorrect EA casting in groubpy.agg by jbrockmendel · Pull Request #38254 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

how much of your opinion is based on IntegerArray/FloatingArray/BooleanArray?

Yes, quite a bit ;). Also based on geopandas, but our _from_sequence is already pretty strict there anyway, so we don't really have this problem.

Now, I don't think this is a critical bug fix for 1.2, so assuming it's for 1.3 (I think the rc will be cut any time now), that gives us more time to fix this, in which case I would prefer to focus on getting #38315 done.
(if we do that, will move your period test there to ensure that is fixed)

We could also still merge this, and revert most of the test changes in #38315, but not sure what buys us that (apart from a bigger diff in #38315)
