Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-190:
------------------------------------
I'm fairly -1 on creating a standalone PyPI build from source — as the
toolchain grows in size this will become increasingly unsustainable. I agree
that one should be able to install pyarrow assuming that libarrow and other
library dependencies are installed and on LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I think it would be
time better spent creating conda builds for everything (which has superior
support for building / installing non-Python dependencies)

> These builds should be uploadable to PyPI. There we need a fitting
> MANIFEST.in and a build system that can also build arrow-c++ and its
> thridparty dependencies.
