Leif Walsh commented on ARROW-189:
----------------------------------
I can take this, I have it working, just need to clean up the patch and submit
it.

> Issue Type: Improvement

> My main incentive here is that I want to have a Python sdist that can be
> installed with a simple `pip install ./dist/pyarrow.tar.gz` (so we could
> provide source distributions on PyPI). This will still let the install of
> pyarrow depend on CMake but at least we would have the ability of a source
> distribution.
