[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-190) Python: Provide standalone installable sdist builds

["Wes McKinney (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-190?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15272676#comment-15272676 ] 

Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-190:
------------------------------------

I'm fairly -1 on creating a standalone PyPI build from source — as the toolchain grows in size this will become increasingly unsustainable. I agree that one should be able to install pyarrow assuming that libarrow and other library dependencies are installed and on LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I think it would be time better spent creating conda builds for everything (which has superior support for building / installing non-Python dependencies)

> These builds should be uploadable to PyPI. There we need a fitting MANIFEST.in and a build system that can also build arrow-c++ and its thridparty dependencies.
