             Summary: [Python] Add more info to show_versions()
                 Key: ARROW-15109
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-15109
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Python
    Affects Versions: 6.0.1
            Reporter: Will Jones


In the R arrow package, we have a function {{arrow_info()}} which provides information on versions and optional components. Python has {{show_versions()}}, but it's not as detailed. We can add the following to the Python function:

 * List of optional components and whether they are enabled
 * Which allocator is used
 * SIMD level 


Example R output:
