to_numpy/to_cupy failures on pandas nullable extension dtypes#23772Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughNullable extension dtype conversions now preserve pandas-compatible null behavior for NumPy output. CuPy conversion normalizes nullable and target dtypes before cast checks. Nullable integer, unsigned-integer, and floating-point conversions update output selection and promotion rules. ChangesNullable conversion handling
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The conversion fixes may still return pd.NA instead of the explicitly requested None for nullable floating columns in a specific object-conversion case, causing a localized pandas-compatibility mismatch.

both Series and single-column DataFrame conversions, covering dtype=None and

@Matt711 the pandas failures look related, please check. The cuml failures do not, offhand, although if they persist after merging the latest main they may be worth a second look. |
Both are related. The cuml tests are now XPASS'ing |

Gah, that's an unfortunate fallout of writing those tests. I wrote those so we definitely wouldn't when this was fixed upstream, but since upstream runs them then y'all get failures :/. |

Pandas 3.0.3 ExtensionArray to_numpy na_value None future.distinguish_nan_and_na nullable Float32 DataFrame to_numpy source
💡 Result:
In pandas 3.0.3, the to_numpy method is available on both DataFrame and ExtensionArray (including nullable Float32 arrays) to control the conversion of pandas objects into NumPy arrays [1][2][3]. The na_value parameter allows you to explicitly define the value used to represent missing data (e.g., pd.NA) in the resulting NumPy array [1][2]. If na_value is not provided, pandas uses a default value that depends on the dtype of the array or DataFrame columns [2][3][4]. Key points regarding your query: 1. ExtensionArray.to_numpy: The method ExtensionArray.to_numpy(dtype=None, copy=False, na_value=lib.no_default) is implemented in the base ExtensionArray class [1]. It ensures that pd.NA (or other missing values) can be replaced by a user-specified na_value during the conversion to a NumPy array [1]. If na_value is specified, the resulting array is copied and missing values are replaced [1]. 2. Nullable Float32 (FloatingArray): These arrays use pd.NA to represent missing values, which is distinct from np.nan (Not a Number) [5][6][7]. Because NumPy floating-point arrays traditionally use np.nan for missing values, conversion of a nullable Float32 array to a NumPy array often requires explicitly setting na_value=np.nan if you want a standard NumPy float array [8][9][10]. 3. future.distinguish_nan_and_na: Pandas has been working toward officially distinguishing pd.NA (missing) from np.nan (numeric NaN) [10][11]. While future.distinguish_nan_and_na is a configuration option, users may still encounter challenges in automated workflows (like read_csv) where these values are coerced [11]. 4. Source and Implementation: The implementation of ExtensionArray.to_numpy resides in pandas/core/arrays/base.py [1]. It uses np.asarray(self, dtype=dtype) and subsequently fills missing positions (identified by self.isna()) with the provided na_value [1]. If you are converting a Float32 DataFrame or Series to a NumPy array and want to avoid pd.NA in the output, use: df.to_numpy(dtype=float, na_value=np.nan) [8][9][10]

Preserve explicit na_value=None for nullable floating columns.
With dtype=None, na_value=None, and future.distinguish_nan_and_na=True, this branch selects object, but ColumnBase.to_numpy() can preserve pd.NA because fillna(None) leaves the null unchanged. Pandas 3.0.3 returns an object array with None for this explicit na_value. Apply the explicit replacement after obtaining the array.

Description
Closes #23723
Frame._to_array(backingto_numpy/to_cupy) didn't handle pandas nullable extension dtypes (e.g.Int32) consistently with plain numpy dtypes, causing three separate failures:to_cupy's single-column fast path calledcupy.can_cast/cupy.asarraydirectly on the column's raw extension dtype object (e.g.Int32Dtype()), which cupy/numpy can't interpret, so it crashed unconditionally, even without nulls.float64for nullable int columns (so nulls can round-trip as NaN) only checkedisinstance(to_dtype, np.dtype), so it never fired for extension dtypes. For a single-columnDataFrame, this meant the output buffer got preallocated asint32and the correctly-computed float/NaN values got silently truncated on assignment.to_numpy(dtype="float32")raised on a nullable extension column with nulls, even though a float target can represent NaN and pandas itself doesn't require an explicitna_valuein that case.This PR:
numpy_dtypebefore callingcupy.can_cast/cupy.asarray..kindinstead of requiringnp.dtypewhen deciding whether to promote a single nullable column tofloat64.na_value" guard, matching pandas' ownto_numpybehavior.Checklist
