Hi, As you might be aware, the release of Python 3.11 happened around the time we were releasing Apache Arrow 10.0.0. There seems to be quite a lot of users that would like to use Pyarrow on the new Python 3.11 version, this can be seen on the amount of comments on the PR that added wheels for Python 3.11 [1], several GitHub issues or Jira tickets being opened [2][3][4][5][6] and some stackoverflow questions [7].
As the next release is more than 2 months away I wanted to propose to create a minor release adding wheels for pyarrow for Python 3.11. Currently wheels are part of our Release so I am not sure if there's any other possibility apart from creating a minor release. As the wheels will have to be published I am not sure if we could do something similar to what we did for 8.0.1 for the go security patch release where we did not publish other binaries or we would have to go through a full release. Thanks, Raúl [1] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/14499 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17487 [3] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18154 [4] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18245 [5] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-18153 [6] https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14572 [7] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74296856/install-pyarrow-in-vs-code-for-windows
