[Arrow] Development packages to PyPI?

["Uwe L. Korn" <uw...@xhochy.com>]

Hello,

I wanted to start to upload dev-versions ("nightlies") to the Python
package index (PyPI) for Apache Arrow. Given that I'm still an ASF
newbie, what are the requirements for that? I suppose as long as these
are only nigthlies, it is ok to do it without a vote? Just for releases,
we have to go through the voting process. Is there any other point I
should take care of?

Cheers
Uwe

Understood. For Python libraries, building from source can be very
difficult to impossible for some users, so not having nightly
artifacts can make it much more difficult for users to participate (as
non-developers) in an open source project. Perhaps there needs to be
some distinction between "official" builds and "unofficial"
(convenience, but not signed off by the PMC) builds.

So publishing nightlies can be a bit problematic with the ASF release
requirements. I know that the Spark project got some blow back for how it
used to publish certain development artifacts. I don't know the correct
answer, but just this is something we probably want to be careful with
rather than assuming it will be OK because they are development artifacts.
