@oliversheridanmethven this gives confusing situations, but so the problem is that `numpy` is not a _required_ dependency of pyarrow (various parts of pyarrow can be used without having numpy installed), but as optional runtime dependency we have a minimum version of 2.0. Unfortunately, the python package metadata don't really allow to express such relation (AFAIK) about runtime constraints. --- On our zulip chat I questioned if we should actually then raise an error or rather ignore numpy (treat an older numpy as "numpy not installed"), but that won't make the situation less confusing ..
