Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-955:
------------------------------------
If you're going to work with both development builds and released binary
artifacts, it's good practice to work in conda environments, so you would do
development in a different environment from the one where you installed the
pyarrow package from conda-forge. You can see what is imported in the Python
shell
{code}
In [1]: import pyarrow
In [2]: pyarrow
Out[2]: <module 'pyarrow' from
'/home/wesm/code/arrow/python/pyarrow/__init__.py'>
{code}

> I built pyarrow, arrow, and parquet-cpp from source - so that I could use the
> new read_row_group() interface and in general, have access to the latest
> versions. I ran into many issues during the build but was ultimately
> successful (notes below). However, I am not able to import pyarrow.parquet
> due to the following issue:
> >>import pyarrow.parquet
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "", line 1, in
> File "pyarrow/init.py", line 28, in
> import pyarrow._config
> ImportError: No module named _config
> This is similar to an issue reported in github/conda-forge/pyarrow-feedstock,
> where also I posted this...but I think this forum is more direct and
> appropriate - so re-posting here.
> I used instructions at https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html to
> build arrow/cpp, parquet-cpp, and then pyarrow, with the following deviations
> (I view them as possibly bugs in the instructions):
> arrow/cpp build:
> export ARROW_HOME=$HOME/local
> I had to specify -DARROW_PYTHON=on and -DPARQUET_ARROW=ON to the cmake
> command (besides the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARROW_HOME)
> parquet-cpp build:
> export ARROW_HOME=$HOME/local
> cmake -DARROW_HOME=$HOME/local -DPARQUET_ARROW_LINKAGE=static
> -DPARQUET_ARROW=ON .
> make
> sudo make install ----> this installs parquet libs in the std systems
> location (/usr/local/lib) so that the pyarrow build (see below) can find the
> parquet libs
> pyarrow build:
> export ARROW_HOME=$HOME/local (not a deviation; just repeating here)
> export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib:$HOME/parquet4/parquet-cpp/build/latest
> sudo python setup.py build_ext --with-parquet --with-jemalloc
> --build-type=release install
> sudo python setup.py install
> (sudo is needed to install in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages )
> These are the steps and modifications to the instructions needed for me to
> build the pyarrow.parquet package. However, when I now try to import the
> package I get the error specified above.
> Maybe I did something wrong in my steps which I kind of put together by
> searching for these issues...but really can't tell what. It took me almost a
> whole day to get to the point where I can build pyarrow and parquet, and now
> I can't use what I built.
> Any comments, help appreciated! Thanks in advance.
