[Python] [Docs] Mention the C Data/Stream Interface in PyArrow Extending #33567

Open asfimport opened 1 year ago

asfimport commented 1 year ago

The Arrow C Data/Stream Interface is a relatively lightweight option for developers that want to expose Arrow Arrays to Python users.

It is not mentioned as a recommendation in the documentation on [using pyarrow from C++ code|[https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/integration/extending.html].]

The existing recommendation mentioned is [wrapping and unwrapping|[https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/integration/extending.html#wrapping-and-unwrapping].]

I propose adding a section to this page. I would be happy to take that on, if others agree that is a good idea.
