Pull Request Overview
This PR refactors the testing setup for the pyarrow integration by moving tests that require the pyarrow package into a separate crate, thereby decoupling them from the main workspace tests.
- Relocates pyarrow-dependent tests to the arrow-pyarrow-testing crate
- Updates Cargo.toml and GitHub workflow files to reflect the new testing layout
- Adds detailed documentation regarding the environment setup for these tests

55.2.0(June 2025) #7394test_to_pyarrowtests fail during release verification #7736Rationale for this change
At its core, if someone isn't using / modifying the pyarrow integration for arrow-rs they shouldn't have to install / configure python to get the tests working in
arrow-rsRunning
cargo test --workspacenow also runs tests that require python to be setup and thepyarrowmodule to be installed. This is problematic because:The second item was very confusing for me while I tried to debug what going on as I ket getting an error about pyarrow not being installed, even though it was installed in my
venv:What changes are included in this PR?
arrow-pyarrow-testing, which is not part of the workspace and thus not run withcargo test --allcargo test --exclude arrow-pyarrowFrequently Asked Questions
Why not add
--exclude arrow-pyarrowtoverify_release_candidate.sh?While the minimal fix would be to add
--exclude arrow-pyarrowto verify_release_candidate.sh this requires all users of arrow to remember to add--exclude arrow-pyarrowto their tests even if they don't care about pythonWhy not in

pyarrow-arrow-integration-testingbecause that module doesn't compile for me with the stock python installSomehow python needs to be installed with the ability to make dynamic libraries that I haven't figured out and don't really want to.
