Wes McKinney created ARROW-7:
--------------------------------
Summary: Add Python library build toolchain
Key: ARROW-7
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Wes McKinney
Assignee: Wes McKinney
I will be working on a patch to make the initial Arrow C++ {{libarrow.so}}
library callable from Cython (http://cython.org/) extensions. For the
uninitiated, Cython is the modern "gold standard" for interoperability with C++
libraries. I have used it recently to create Kudu's Python client
(https://github.com/apache/incubator-kudu/tree/master/python/kudu).
A significant amount of Python "glue code" will be needed to interoperate with
pandas, NumPy, and other standard Python libraries (in addition to Python's
built-in scalar data types), but these will be the subject of many follow up
JIRAs.
