Uwe L. Korn commented on ARROW-379:
-----------------------------------
mh, switched lately a lot of stuff from versioneer to setuptools_scm. Seems
like a lot of other people did but I cannot any arguments which to prefer at
hand.
> Python: Use setuptools_scm/setuptools_scm_git_archive to provide the version
> number

> Instead of relying on a hardcoded string, it would be better to infer the
> version number from the SCM. This would get rid of the custom code in the
> release script (which I'm not sure if it is actually working) and also
> provide better (i.e. increasing) dev-versions.
