Description

The currently released source distribution for Arrow on pypi.org doesn't build on Ubuntu 20.04. It may be possible install additional build dependencies to make it work, but it would be better to publish aarch64 (arm64) wheels to pypi.org in addition to the currently published x86_64 wheels for Linux.

$ pip install pyarrow

should just work on Linux/aarch64.
