Hi Wes, Thanks for the response. I was following the development instructions on Github here: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/doc/source/development.rst
I took MacOS option and installed my virtual env via conda. I must've missed an instruction when trying the 2.7 install, because I was able to successfully install for 3.6. Although it looks like the instructions on Github are similar to the ones you linked, I will give it another go with the later.
