Although we have a quick fix for that [1] and the fixed wheels will be available soon [2] but sadly pypi doesn't support the update of already uploaded packages. We have three options: 1. delete the 0.14.1 windows wheels 2. draft a post release [3] only for the windows wheels, last time we did it

As we just found in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6015, our 0.14.1 wheels have more problems (this time on Windows), so more evidence that we don't have the bandwidth to properly support these packages. On Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 3:08 PM Jacques Nadeau wrote: > > I think what you sugge

Hi Wes, others, A few thoughts from a user. Firstly, I completely understand your frustration. I myself have delved into a bit of packaging for many scientific computing packages, like ROOT from CERN, although not at the scale of users that you face here. AIU, wheels are a Python-first spec,

hi folks, TL;DR I can't afford for me or my colleagues to continue spending time maintaining the Python binary wheel builds. They have sucked a completely unreasonable amount of time the last few months for reasons that are difficult to completely articulate in an e-mail, so I'm going to lay out t
