Description

When PYARROW_INSTALL_TESTS is set to 0, the packages keyword to setuptools.setup is:

find_namespace_packages(include=['pyarrow*'], exclude=["pyarrow.tests*"])

Since pyarrow.conftest is associated with the tests, I think it should be added to the list of modules to exclude in this case, i.e.,

find_namespace_packages(include=['pyarrow*'], exclude=["pyarrow.tests*", "pyarrow.conftest"])

(As a separate issue, it doesn’t seem like any of these excludes is having any effect for me anyway, as I find the tests are still included in wheels no matter what.)
