Bear in mind though that Python 2 is EOL as of Jan 2020</P> Wed, 23 Jun 2021 03:15:23 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-databricks-runtime-will-i-have-to-use-if-i-want-to-leverage/m-p/21539#M14701 aladda 2021-06-23T03:15:23Z https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/what-databricks-runtime-will-i-have-to-use-if-i-want-to-leverage/m-p/21540#M14702 <P>When you create a Databricks Runtime 5.5 LTS cluster by using the workspace UI, the default is Python 3.
