Devang Shah created ARROW-955:
---------------------------------

             Summary: ImportError: No module named _config
                 Key: ARROW-955
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-955
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Python
         Environment: Ubuntu - 3.19.0-80-generic #88~14.04.1-Ubuntu
Python 2.7.6
            Reporter: Devang Shah
            Priority: Blocker


I built pyarrow, arrow, and parquet-cpp from source - so that I could use the new read_row_group() interface and in general, have access to the latest versions. I ran into many issues during the build but was ultimately successful (notes below). However, I am not able to import pyarrow.parquet due to the following issue:

>>import pyarrow.parquet
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
File "pyarrow/init.py", line 28, in 
import pyarrow._config
ImportError: No module named _config

This is similar to an issue reported in github/conda-forge/pyarrow-feedstock, where also I posted this...but I think this forum is more direct and appropriate - so re-posting here.

I used instructions at https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/install.html to build arrow/cpp, parquet-cpp, and then pyarrow, with the following deviations (I view them as possibly bugs in the instructions):

arrow/cpp build:
export ARROW_HOME=$HOME/local
I had to specify -DARROW_PYTHON=on and -DPARQUET_ARROW=ON to the cmake command (besides the -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARROW_HOME)

parquet-cpp build:

export ARROW_HOME=$HOME/local

cmake -DARROW_HOME=$HOME/local -DPARQUET_ARROW_LINKAGE=static -DPARQUET_ARROW=ON .
make

sudo make install ----> this installs parquet libs in the std systems location (/usr/local/lib) so that the pyarrow build (see below) can find the parquet libs

pyarrow build:

export ARROW_HOME=$HOME/local (not a deviation; just repeating here)

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib:$HOME/parquet4/parquet-cpp/build/latest

sudo python setup.py build_ext --with-parquet --with-jemalloc --build-type=release install

sudo python setup.py install

(sudo is needed to install in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages )

These are the steps and modifications to the instructions needed for me to build the pyarrow.parquet package. However, when I now try to import the package I get the error specified above.

Maybe I did something wrong in my steps which I kind of put together by searching for these issues...but really can't tell what. It took me almost a whole day to get to the point where I can build pyarrow and parquet, and now I can't use what I built.

Any comments, help appreciated! Thanks in advance.
