Re: PyArrow on PyPy: PyDateTime_CAPI question (getting cpyext to work) in c++

Thank you, I managed to get it built using an older version (instructions and whl file for those who are interested is available at https://github.com/bivald/pyarrow-on-pypy3 <https://github.com/bivald/pyarrow-on-pypy3>)

I have setup a monthly 50USD recurring donation (under “Enplore”)

I’ve gotten it working for pypy2 a few years ago, and is now trying for PyPy3. Overall I get it to build and produce a pyarrow wheel file by following the arrow instructions. So far so good. I expect a massive part of pyarrow not to work, but for my case I really only need `pandas.read_parquet`. However I am stuck trying to figure out how to use the pyppy cpyext for Datetime.
