AlenkaF opened a new issue, #47172: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/47172
### Describe the enhancement requested It would be good to have a utility function to create an Arrow table directly instead of having to go through pandas in some of out pyarrow tests. The existing utility function that uses pandas is: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/bb33493bd34dcd21d71b6b942203992e67f5ef3c/python/pyarrow/tests/parquet/common.py#L98-L121 This issue would move some of tests using `_test_dataframe` to use a new utility function and remove the `@pytest.mark.pandas` in this cases. ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
