Tim Swast commented on ARROW-13806:
-----------------------------------
Regarding "Python" conversion, we decided in the Python BigQuery client that
dateutil is widely used (including by pandas) to go with relativedelta for a
similar conversion from this data type to Python object.
[https://github.com/googleapis/python-bigquery/pull/840]
The package appears to be widely used and from what I can tell from
[https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil] no additional transitive dependencies to
worry about.
That said, a namedtuple or dict where the names match the arguments to
relativedelta (months, days, microseconds) would be pretty easy to convert to a
relativedelta if not.
