Semet commented on SPARK-13587:
-------------------------------

Hello. For me this solution is equivalent with my "Wheelhouse" (SPARK-16367) 
proposal I made, even without having to modify pyspark at all. I even think you 
can package a wheelhouse using this {{--archive}} argument.
The drawback is indeed your spark-submit has to send this package to each node 
(1 to n). If Pyspark supported {{requirements.txt}}/{{Pipfile}} dependencies 
description formats, each node would download by itself the dependencies...

> Support virtualenv in PySpark

> Currently, it's not easy for user to add third party python packages in 
> pyspark.
> * One way is to using --py-files (suitable for simple dependency, but not 
> suitable for complicated dependency, especially with transitive dependency)
> * Another way is install packages manually on each node (time wasting, and 
> not easy to switch to different environment)
> Python has now 2 different virtualenv implementation. One is native 
> virtualenv another is through conda. This jira is trying to migrate these 2 
> tools to distributed environment
