---------------------------------

             Summary: Python: Use setuptools_scm/setuptools_scm_git_archive to provide the version number
                 Key: ARROW-379
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-379
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
            Reporter: Uwe L. Korn
            Assignee: Uwe L. Korn


Instead of relying on a hardcoded string, it would be better to infer the version number from the SCM. This would get rid of the custom code in the release script (which I'm not sure if it is actually working) and also provide better (i.e. increasing) dev-versions.
