# Which issue does this PR close? <!-- No linked issue. --> # Rationale for this change The contributor guide explains how to build the Rust workspace but doesn't mention the Python client (`python/`), which is intentionally outside the default Cargo workspace and uses a separate `maturin`-based workflow. New contributors landing on the contributor guide currently have no pointer to those steps and have to discover the `python/README.md` on their own. # What changes are included in this PR? Adds a "Building the Python Client from Source" section to `docs/source/contributors-guide/development.md` covering: - Prerequisites (Python, Rust toolchain, `protoc`) - Creating a virtual environment with both `pip` and `uv` - Building and installing via `maturin develop` (debug and release) - Building a wheel without installing - Running the Python test suite - A pointer to the DataFusion Python contributor guide for deeper detail The content mirrors the existing `python/README.md` but presents it in the place a new contributor is most likely to look first. # Are there any user-facing changes? Documentation only. No code changes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
