Notice the 'Skipping link ... it is not compatible with this Python` messages. They happen because the wheel format is currently incompatible with musl libc.

This means we must publish the source distribution to allow pip to fallback to compilation of arrow.

Wes McKinney / @wesm:
Enabling a source build with pip install pyarrow seems like a pretty large undertaking, but I won't dissuade you from trying!

[asfimport]

Wes McKinney / @wesm:
Do many projects provide alpine wheels? What is their build toolchain like?

[asfimport]

Uwe Korn / @xhochy:
You cannot provide these wheels on PyPI. There is no platform tag yet that indicates the use of musl-libc. The musl/Alpine community must first invest in a standard like manylinux1 (which is only for glibc based distros).

If there was an alternative Package repository for wheels on Alpine Linux, we could upload wheels there but this also does not seem to exist.

Closing as "Won't fix" until the Alpine community has adressed this.

Adam Davis:
Created on 17-Mar-2021, PEP 656 establishes the musllinux standard for binary Python package distributions for musl-based Linux distributions such as Alpine. Would it be possible to reopen this issue?

[MrMino]

Looks like this could be reopened now. This is a bit of a pressing issue given that pandas is depending on pyarrow, and maintainers expressed interest in releasing wheels for Alpine.

[kou]

OK. I reopen this.
Does someone want to work on this?

[mbacarella]

We need this too. I can maybe take a crack at it though I'm pretty unfamiliar with Python packaging and wheels.

Is it basically copy/paste this file https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/ci/docker/python-wheel-manylinux.dockerfile and hack stuff so that it's Alpine instead of CentOS?

[kou]

Does PyPA provide a Docker image for musllinux wheel like https://quay.io/repository/pypa/manylinux2014_x86_64?tab=tags ?

[MrMino]

@kou yes, several, just filter by musl on this page: https://quay.io/organization/pypa

[kou]

OK. Let's use these images as base images.

[mbacarella]

Anything I can do to help? Happy to test and provide feedback. Or donate to individuals or foundations.

[kvanzuijlen]

@kou I'm willing to work on this, although I'm not familiar with the code base. Can you give me some pointers to what needs to be done?

[kou]

Sure. Here are related things:

1. docker-compose.yml: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
   • We need to add python-wheel-musllinux-* like existing python-wheel-manylinux-*
2. ci/docker/: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/docker-compose.yml
   • We need to add python-wheel-mulslinux*.dockerfile like python-wheel-manylinux*.dockerfile for the above docker-compose.yml change
3. ci/scripts/: https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/main/ci/scripts
   • We need to add python_wheel_musllinux_build.sh like existing python_wheel_manylinux_build.sh
   • We may be able to create an unified build script like python_wheel_linux_build.sh when we can unify python_wheel_manylinux_build.sh and python_wheel_musllinux_build.sh
4. dev/tasks/tasks.yml: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/main/dev/tasks/tasks.yml
   • We need to add wheel-musllinux* like existing wheel-manylinux-* to run python-musllinux-* services that are added by 1. in our nightly jobs

(We may need to change another files too...)
