def _cast_to_python_objects(obj: Any, only_1d_for_numpy: bool, optimize_list_casting: bool) -> tuple[Any, bool]:
    """
    Cast pytorch/tensorflow/pandas objects to python numpy array/lists.
    It works recursively.

    If `optimize_list_casting` is True, to avoid iterating over possibly long lists, it first checks (recursively) if the first element that is not None or empty (if it is a sequence) has to be casted.
    If the first element needs to be casted, then all the elements of the list will be casted, otherwise they'll stay the same.
    This trick allows to cast objects that contain tokenizers outputs without iterating over every single token for example.

    Args:
        obj: the object (nested struct) to cast.
        only_1d_for_numpy (bool): whether to keep the full multi-dim tensors as multi-dim numpy arrays, or convert them to
            nested lists of 1-dimensional numpy arrays. This can be useful to keep only 1-d arrays to instantiate Arrow arrays.
            Indeed Arrow only support converting 1-dimensional array values.
        optimize_list_casting (bool): whether to optimize list casting by checking the first non-null element to see if it needs to be casted
            and if it doesn't, not checking the rest of the list elements.

    Returns:
        casted_obj: the casted object
        has_changed (bool): True if the object has been changed, False if it is identical

    If the first element needs to be casted, then all the elements of the list will be casted, otherwise they'll stay the same.
    This trick allows to cast objects that contain tokenizers outputs without iterating over every single token for example.

    There are 3 ways to define a `ClassLabel`, which correspond to the 3 arguments:

     * `num_classes`: Create 0 to (num_classes-1) labels.
     * `names`: List of label strings.
     * `names_file`: File containing the list of labels.

    Under the hood the labels are stored as integers.
    You can use negative integers to represent unknown/missing labels.

    Args:
        num_classes (`int`, *optional*):
            Number of classes. All labels must be < `num_classes`.
        names (`list` of `str`, *optional*):

        names_file (`str`, *optional*):
            Path to a file with names for the integer classes, one per line.

        name of the original column and the subfield name like this: `<original>.<subfield>`.

        If a column contains nested dictionaries, then all the lower-level subfields names are
        also concatenated to form new columns: `<original>.<subfield>.<subsubfield>`, etc.

        Returns:
            [`Features`]:
                The flattened features.

        Example:

        ```py
        >>> from datasets import load_dataset
        >>> ds = load_dataset("rajpurkar/squad", split="train")
        >>> ds.features.flatten()
