Daniel Jewell created ARROW-10777:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Pypi pyarrow source dist (sdist) contains architecture
dependent binaries
Key: ARROW-10777
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10777
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Packaging, Python
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Daniel Jewell
Downloading the most recent pyarrow "sdist" *source* tarball from Pypi and upon
extraction, the package contains multiple *binary* libraries compiled for
x86-64. (libarrow, libparquet, etc.)
The ultimate result is that this isn't a source package at all - it would be
fine to include binaries in a python wheel but including arch/platform specific
binaries in a sdist breaks pip and the install. (In my case, trying to install
on aarch64.)
As a general observation, this will become a larger issue as, for example, the
ARM-based Macs come to market.
That said, one commonly implemented option is to make the python source package
download and build any dependent libraries.
At the very least, the source package should not contain binaries. I suppose
it's not much different from a *source* Debian package containing compiled
binary code.
