Sean Owen commented on SPARK-4992: ---------------------------------- Seems reasonable to me, to avoid anything that could be a library or keyword, although I know just a little Python. (Does it actually fail?) What do you suggest, just "textFile" or something? Usually you make a pull request to suggest an edit, but the site is exceptional in that it is hosted from source in Apache SVN, at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spark/site You can make a patch and post it here, or I could do it pretty easily since I've done it before (hence I butted in without knowing much Python) > Prominent Python example has bad, beginner style > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SPARK-4992 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4992 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Reporter: Eric O.
