Description

https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/generated/pyarrow.Table.html#pyarrow.Table.column says that I can select a column by name. However, I get an error `TypeError: an integer is required`.

<ipython-input-16-d22a22c23810> in build_arrow(name)
31 print(table.schema)
32
---> 33 table.column('ARRIVAL')
34
35 writer = pa.RecordBatchFileWriter(f'

{name}

.arrow', table.schema)

table.pxi in pyarrow.lib.Table.column()

TypeError: an integer is required
