   @alanhdu thanks for the issue. I think this is indeed something that `from_pylist` could support, and a good feature request.
   
   In that case, the `schema` argument should probably be required (or it could be relaxed to just a list of column `names`).
   
   The current implementation lives here:
   
   https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/62fd98704dbe2684018707a7b135751fa7bfbe5a/python/pyarrow/table.pxi#L6160-L6197
   
   (it's in a cython file, but essentially it's just pure python in this case)
   
   I think it should be relatively straightforward to edit that to also support tuples (or to have a variant that supports tuples).
