Summary: bin/pyspark: avoid hardcoded `python` command and improve version checks Key: SPARK-26831 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-26831 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Components: PySpark Affects Versions: 2.4.0 Reporter: Stefaan Lippens (this originally started at https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23736) I was trying out pyspark on a system with only a {{python3}} command but no {{python}} command and got this error: {code} /opt/spark/bin/pyspark: line 45: python: command not found {code} While the pyspark script is full of variables to refer to a python interpreter there is still a hardcoded {{python}} used for {code} WORKS_WITH_IPYTHON=$(python -c 'import sys; print(sys.version_info >= (2, 7, 0))') {code} While looking into this, I also noticed the bash syntax for the IPython version check is wrong: {code} if [[ ! $WORKS_WITH_IPYTHON ]] {code} always evaluates to false when {{$WORKS_WITH_IPYTHON}} is non-empty (so in both cases "True" and "False") -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
