You can use the extended table description. For example, the following python code will print the current definition of the view:
table_name = ""
df = spark.sql("describe table extended {}".format(table_name))
df.createOrReplaceTempView("view_desription")
data = spark.sql(
"""
select data_type
from view_desription
where col_name = 'View Text'
"""
).collect()[0][0]
print(data)
