[Python] Windows distribution for 0.17.1 seems broken (conda only)

[asfimport]

We just started seeing issues with importing pyarrow on our CI:

https://github.com/vaexio/vaex/pull/749/checks?check_run_id=689857401

Long logs, the issue appears here:

import pyarrow._parquet as _parquet
2541E ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.

Joris Van den Bossche / @jorisvandenbossche:
Might be similar to conda-forge/pyarrow-feedstock#104, although that was with pyarow 0.16 (but I also see a "Windows fatal exception: access violation" at the start of your logs, and it's also parquet related).

In any case, it's a conda-forge issue, so best to open an issue there as well (or comment on the existing one)

Thanks Joris, We got CI working by installing from pypi for the meantime. Feel free to close this if you don't think it belongs here.

Closing here, since Uwe Korn found and fixed the issue in the conda-forge package.
