Will any python editor be available during HDP Spark Exam

[#1]

Hi,

I am planing to appear for Spark exam and have few questions.

1) Since python follows strict indentation,will any python supported editor be available during exam to write the scripts?

2) Do we need to save the scripts during exam or just execute it?

3) Which language would be good to solve problems in exam, Scala or Python?

Thanks in advance

Test environment has no IDE. You use either use gedit or vi based on your preference. More details in the post below:
