Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-5757:
----------------------------------------------
Wes:
{quote}We probably need to discuss this on the mailing list. Sadly Python 2.7
is still the most popular Python version according to pypistats.org
https://pypistats.org/packages/pyarrow
{quote}
With conda, on the other hand, Python 2.7 is only 5% of the downloads (but,
conda downloads are much smaller in number than the PyPI ones. I checked Dec
2019, which had 137,845 downloads on conda, which is kind the daily number on
PyPI).
