Do we also want to first test the presence of this method using hasattr as above?

Yes, good idea

My understanding is that at the moment this function is meant to work with file-like objects (or the in-memory buffer representing it) for an IPC encapsulated message. That seems a bit different in scope, and I would say it's fine to keep that scope? |
Fair enough. My concern was that |

After merging your PR, Conbench analyzed the 6 benchmarking runs that have been run so far on merge-commit dc40e5f. There were no benchmark performance regressions. 🎉 The full Conbench report has more details. It also includes information about 2 possible false positives for unstable benchmarks that are known to sometimes produce them. |
…r objects implementing the Arrow PyCapsule protocol (apache#39218) ### Rationale for this change In contrast to Array, RecordBatch and Schema, for the C Stream (mapping to RecordBatchReader) we haven't an equivalent factory function that can accept any Arrow-compatible object and turn it into a pyarrow object through the PyCapsule Protocol. For that reason, this proposes an explicit constructor class method for this: `RecordBatchReader.from_stream` (this is a quite generic name, so other name suggestions are certainly welcome). ### Are these changes tested?
