"pip install pyarrow If you encounter any importing issues of the pip wheels on Windows, you may need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015."
http://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html Just now wading into the use of pyarrow on Windows. Users are confused and irritated that numpy and pandas work out of the box (pip, python 3.7.9, Windows 10) but pyarrow requires this additional step. Numpy is backed by C code, correct? Is this pyarrow requirement due to the use of C++? Should there be a more descriptive error than "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found." ? Is there a way to install the redistributable with pip, in order to maintain a consistent user experience? Thanks, John
