Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-3084:
---------------------------------------
Using {{pypnfo}}, it seems {{pyarrow-0.10.0-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl}}
(UCS4, I presume) got 35k downloads while
{{pyarrow-0.10.0-cp27-cp27m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl}} (UCS2) got 4k downloads,
which is 10x less but still not negligible. Perhaps some people self-compile
Python in UCS2 mode on Linux...

> I noticed that pandas does not provide a UCS2 wheel for Python 2.7. We're
> building both UCS2 and UCS4. I am curious if the UCS2 wheels are widely used
> enough to make this worthwhile
