Antoine Pitrou created ARROW-3029: ------------------------------------- Summary: [Python] pkg_resources is slow Key: ARROW-3029 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-3029 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Improvement Components: Python Affects Versions: 0.10.0 Reporter: Antoine Pitrou Assignee: Antoine Pitrou
Importing and calling {{pkg_resources}} at pyarrow import time to get the version number is slow (around 200 ms. here, out of 640 ms. total for importing pyarrow). Instead we could generate a version file, which seems possible using {{setuptools_scm}}'s {{write_to}} parameter: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm/#configuration-parameters -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
