Hi All,
I recently have a use case where i need to run something on the databricks cluster and the bare requirement is that python version shoulde be 3.8 and DBR version should be 11+. I am confused on how to handle this. Is there anyway in which we can define the python version or creating a virtual env?

Hello @deficiant_codge ,
I think it's not possible to modify the python version from a cluster manually without touching the DBR.
Indeed each version of DBR is coming with a specific version of Python, Spark and Scala. (You can see for each runtime the information about the versions (spark, new features...) : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/release-notes/runtime/releases ).
Only way to switch of version is too switch of Runtime.

Finally just found a possible trick, you can maybe use a Docker image as poet_RY specified in this post: https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/upgrade-python-version-in-cluster/m-p/5431

Hey,
To be honest I don't really know...
You can check this stack Overflow post, the last reply is explaining how to do it.
Moreover, there is this documentation from Databricks on the subject: https://docs.databricks.com/clusters/custom-containers.html
