+Apache Arrow (Python)
+=====================
+
+Arrow is a columnar in-memory analytics layer designed to accelerate big data.
+It houses a set of canonical in-memory representations of flat and hierarchical
+data along with multiple language-bindings for structure manipulation. It also
+provides IPC and common algorithm implementations.
+
+This is the documentation of the Python API of Apache Arrow. For more details
+on the format and other language bindings see
+`the main page for Arrow <https://arrow.apache.org/>`_. Here will we only
+detail the usage of the Python API for Arrow and the leaf libraries that add
+additional functionality such as reading Apache Parquet files into Arrow
+structures.
