Philipp Moritz commented on ARROW-1366:
---------------------------------------

Thanks for bringing this up, I'm planning to define an entry point (https://chriswarrick.com/blog/2014/09/15/python-apps-the-right-way-entry_points-and-scripts/) to make it possible to start the store from the command line.

> I've just posted the binary wheels for pyarrow 0.6.0 to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyarrow
> I haven't tested out {{plasma_store}} in the wheels, but it may be difficult for users to start because it's nested inside site-packages/pyarrow. 
> We should provide guidance in this case; perhaps we can add a function which can return the absolute path to the Plasma store which people can use to set an environment variable like {{$PLASMA_STORE}}
