Description

Hi,

 

I'd like to help getting pyarrow==0.16.0 released for Windows Python 3.5.
I have seen the issue here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Ursa-Labs/crossbow/builds/27848124
I'm not familiar with your release build procedure, but I have been trying to follow https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/docs/source/developers/python.rst#building-on-windows
Note that I have replaced:
{{conda create -y -n pyarrow-dev -c conda-forge ^
--file arrow\ci\conda_env_cpp.yml ^
--file arrow\ci\conda_env_python.yml ^
--file arrow\ci\conda_env_gandiva.yml ^
python=3.7}}
with
{{conda create -y -n pyarrow-dev -c conda-forge ^
--file arrow\ci\conda_env_cpp.yml ^
--file arrow\ci\conda_env_python.yml ^
--file arrow\ci\conda_env_gandiva.yml ^
python=3.5}}
I also had to update Cython manually and that python setup.py build_ext --inplace seemed to do nothing, so I tried doing pip wheel -w dist . and this successfully built a wheel file for me.

I understand that ursabot is down, but when it comes back could you retry building the missing wheel? It is possible that this dependency issue is already resolved.

If I am wrong about the build procedure please let me know, I'm really unfamiliar with Windows development and your build procedure.
