Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-341: ------------------------------------ I thought a bit about this. The easiest thing to do would be to install all of the libpyarrow header files under the pyarrow build tree, similar to how NumPy has {{numpy/core/include}} and the helper function {{numpy.get_include()}}. We would need an equivalent "import hook" like "import_array" which ensures that the right shared libraries have been loaded at runtime. > [Python] Making libpyarrow available to third parties > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ARROW-341 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-341 > Project: Apache Arrow > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Python > Reporter: Wes McKinney > > 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}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
