Python with Hortonworks Sandbox

[#1]

Can I use Python(v2/v3) for coding in Hortonworks Sandbox for hadoop?

I know we can use java but I am not so sure about python.

If yes, how do I set it up?

Yes you can and coincidentally I just wrote to articles about Python and Python3 https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/82967/apache-ambari-workflow-designer-view-for-apache-oo....

And https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/82988/apache-ambari-workflow-designer-view-for-apache-oo-...

There are many resources on this site referencing work with Python, new kid on the block is Pyspark, which makes working in familiar Python API but with benefit of Spark, a fast in-memory analytics engine. Again take a look on our site https://community.hortonworks.com/topics/pyspark.html
