Hi Joris,

Thanks for replying!

No but dataset isn’t the only thing missing here. It is also complaining
that pyarrow.fs is not a package. Of course it is actually a module.
Moreover the build process errors out and no docs appear at all so these
can’t simply be ignored.

As for sphinx-build I can do some testing tonight. If it works I will file
the PR. I guess I should also remove the manual installation from the CI,
right?

On a separate subject why do we have ORC support off by default?

Ian
