@vadimkantorov as you suggested, the problem is indeed issue with your installation. The pandas package seems to be broken (because of the numpy and pandas versions being imcompatible. Import pandas directly will give a similar ValueError). We do a try/except around the pandas import in pyarrow: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/c2ec1cda88918a3920b7b29eca8d2e3ca7a49fb2/python/pyarrow/pandas-shim.pxi#L48-L57 But we are only catching ImportErrors, which generally is sufficient for a package not being installed. But so in practice we are not catching a ValueError which you got in this case. As you mentioned, "I hoped that pyarrow does not depend on pandas / pandas installed correctly", and so pyarrow does not depend on pandas, but we actually do depend somewhat on the fact that _if_ pandas is installed, it is installed correctly .. We could broaden that try/except, but the problem with that is that it can also then hide an actual problem (if you were assuming pandas was installed, and pyarrow would have its pandas support enabled). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
