[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-341) [Python] Making libpyarrow available to third parties

["Uwe L. Korn (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-341?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15724479#comment-15724479 ] 

Uwe L. Korn commented on ARROW-341:
-----------------------------------

Another functionality that could be shared to other (non Cython) third-party libraries is the conversion code of C++ to Python objects (i.e. {{arrow::Table}} -> {{pyarrow.Table}}).

At first glance this looked like something easy but it will possibly require that we move the definition of the Python structs ({{pyarrow.Table}}) to the C++ code from Cython. This would make a it a bit more hard to maintain.

> We may want to link against this library in pandas 2.0 -- [~xhochy] what do you think? One option is that we could move the Python glue into the C++ library and create a leaf lib {{libarrow_python.so}}.
