cpcloud opened a new issue, #43388: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/43388
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. The implementation of `pyarrow.schema` doesn't allow objects that are `Mapping`s to take advantage of `__arrow_c_schema__` because `Mapping` is checked before `__arrow_c_schema__` is checked. This seems like a bug considering that custom schema objects naturally fit into the `Mapping` concept. Would it make sense to swap the order here and first check for `__arrow_c_schema__` and **then** check whether an object is a mapping? ### Component(s) Python -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
