pyarrow wheel for python 3.9

[Armag67]

Hello,
My Linux distribution recently switched from Python 3.8 to 3.9. Can we expect a wheel of pyarrow for Python 3.9 soon?
Thanks

We'll release it in this month.

I have faced the issue with Python 3.9 now (#8610, #8873) and with Python 3.8 year ago (#6351, #5987).

@kou Is there any release schedule for Python Arrow? I am worried about it because it takes about three months to make Arrow compatible to Python 3.9. According to PEP-0602 Python 3.10 is planned to release at November, 2021. It means that the issue will happen again in nine months.

I am just curious about what is the main obstacle to sync Arrow minor releases to Python major releases? Is it possible to add Python alphas and betas to build matrix? I guess that minimal gaps betwen releases will benefit to the whole Python-community.

Can we re-open this issue until the wheel is released? Looks like it missed the January goal.

It's there, you're just looking at the previous release: https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow/3.0.0/#files
