> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Python
> Reporter: Wes McKinney

> Priority: Major
> Labels: beginner, pull-request-available
> Fix For: 0.12.0

> Time Spent: 40m

>
> Currently the only option is to use {{Table/Array.from_pandas}} which does
> significant unnecessary work and allocates memory. If only the schema is of
> interest, then we could do less work and not allocate memory.
> We should provide the user a function {{pyarrow.Schema.from_pandas}} which
> takes a DataFrame as an input and returns the respective Arrow schema. The
> functionality for determing the schema is already available in the Python
> code, it is at moment just very tightly bound to the conversion
> infrastructure.
