I can't answer definitely, but I'm extremely skeptical that conda-build will be able to proper usable Python wheels in anything other than the most simple cases, and Arrow is really at the other end of the complexity spectrum when it comes to dependencies and packaging. To understand why, you have to understand that Python wheels are not able to express non-Python dependencies, while conda packages are. So any C++ dependency that's expressed naturally in conda (as a dependency on just another package) has to become statically bundled in a Python wheel. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
