William Paul commented on ARROW-2512:
-------------------------------------

I took that to mean bindings of CudaBuffer, CudaBufferWriter, etc. in Python. 
This issue is what to return if a user creates a GPU object from the python 
Plasma Client and wants to do computation from Python on that object using the 
GPU.

> Plasma can now manage objects on the GPU, but in order to use this 
> functionality in Python, there needs to be some way to represent these GPU 
> objects in Python that allows computation on the GPU.
> The easiest way to enable this is to rely on a third party library, such as 
> Pytorch, which will allow us to use all of its existing functionality.
