What Databricks Runtime will I have to use if I want to leverage Python 2?

[Anonymous]

I have some code which is dependent on python 2. I am not able to use Python 2 with Databricks runtime 6.0.

You'll have to use DBR 5.5 for Python 2. See https://kb.databricks.com/python/python-2-eol.html#databricks-runtime-55-lts for additional details. Bear in mind though that Python 2 is EOL as of Jan 2020

When you create a Databricks Runtime 5.5 LTS cluster by using the workspace UI, the default is Python 3. You have the option to specify Python 2. If you use the Databricks REST API to create a cluster using Databricks Runtime 5.5 LTS, the default is Python 2. If you have a Databricks Runtime 5.5 LTS cluster running Python 2, you are not required to upgrade to Python 3.
