hi Weston, One area that could be helpful would be to create a verification procedure for wheels that uses virtualenv, see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5105 We've had a number of failures obscured by the fact that we produce our macOS and Windows wheels with the assistance of conda packages, so our build process, which is defined in these CI configurations (we invoke them with our Crossbow tool) https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/dev/tasks/python-wheels does not validate what happens when you try to use the wheel in a more barebones Python environment There are some other wheel-related JIRA issues if you search in the backlog.
