Colin Dean commented on SPARK-30665: ------------------------------------ While researching a problem we're encountering while trying to install any of PySpark 2.3-2.4 — upgrading past that is not an option presently — we're finding that {{pypandoc}} changed its API in a recent release, thereby breaking setup.py on these old PySpark releases because these releases did not specify a bound on the dependency. What are the chances that the patch that removes the {{pypandoc}} requirement could accepted as a backport to a 2.3 or 2.4 release? I'm happy to put up the PR to the branches if there's a process for nudging a 2.3.5 and 2.4.9 out to make those minor releases installable again. > Eliminate pypandoc dependency > ----------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-30665 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-30665 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build, Documentation, PySpark > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Nicholas Chammas > Assignee: Nicholas Chammas > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > > PyPI now supports Markdown project descriptions, so we no longer need to > convert the Spark README into ReStructuredText and thus no longer need > pypandoc. > Removing pypandoc has the added benefit of eliminating the failure mode > described in [this PR|https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/18981]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
