Hi Drew, Pyarrow's compute module should be accessible in 0.17+ so updating your installation should solve the problem. I don't think you need the nightly build, just a newer release.
For updating, it might be you will need to use the conda-forge channel, as it is possible that the default Anaconda channel does not have the more recent versions of pyarrow available (`conda update pyarrow --channel conda-forge`).
