Comments: Looks like we should stop using `PyExtensionType` and use `ExtensionType` instead

> Yes, I understand now: they have disabled their `PyExtensionType` and we use it in `datasets` for arrays...

No, related to https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/issues/5706

Running the following is a workaround:

```
import pyarrow
pyarrow.PyExtensionType.set_auto_load(True)
```
