Hi may I know what version of Python does the new 6.3.3 version of Cloudera supported?

@Mondi ,

 

If I am mistaken when I assume that as a minor release, CDH 6.3.3 does not change the overall Python version dependencies established by CDH 6.x in general, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will weigh in here.

If I am not mistaken, you can check the dependencies at this page, under the subheading Software Dependencies. Hope this helps.

@mon Cloudera Enterprise 6 requires Python 2.6 or higher on RHEL 6 compatible operating systems, but requires Python 2.7 or higher on RHEL 7 compatible operating systems.

Only Hue and Spark2 needed Python 2.7 and rest of all CDH component in C6 train needs Python less than Python3.

You can use Python 3 but not for CDH services until or unless you are trying some custom operations/job which needs some other Python version. 

 


Cheers!

Thanks @ask_bill_brooks for answering and for the help. as per this link, Python 3 is not supported by Cloudera enterprise 6.x so python 2.6 and up is supported.

 

 

I'm still open if there would be other explanations that can be posted here. Thanks in advance!

Wondering if this has changes since 2020

What version of Python are supported for Cloudera 6.3.3.  Our customer wants to use Python 3.9.2?

 

Thanks,
Karen
