Separately, rather than adding more library-specific conversion code, it might make sense for pyiceberg to start leveraging the [PyCapsule protocol](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/CDataInterface/PyCapsuleInterface.html) to allow any third party library (dataframe or otherwise) that supports Arrow data to seamlessly consume pyiceberg constructs. Polars already supports the PyCapsule interface. See https://docs.pola.rs/user-guide/misc/arrow/#using-the-arrow-pycapsule-interface for details. Implementing the interface on e.g. pyiceberg tables would allow them to be passed directly to dataframe init in polars, just like you can do a pyarrow table today. It also doesn't assume anything about polars support/doesn't add a dependency on polars. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
