Getting python version errors when using pyspark rdd using databricks connect

[Surajv]

Hi community, 

When I use pyspark rdd related functions in my environment using databricks connect, I get below error: 

Databricks cluster version: 12.2. 

`RuntimeError: Python in worker has different version 3.9 than that in driver 3.10, PySpark cannot run with different minor versions. Please check environment variables PYSPARK PYTHON...`

How can I resolve it?

Got it. As a side note, I tried above methods, but the error persisted, hence upon reading docs again, there was this statement: You must install Python 3 on your development machine, and the minor version of your client Python installation must be the same as the minor Python version of your Databricks cluster. (Link: https://docs.databricks.com/en/dev-tools/databricks-connect-legacy.html#requirements). 

On aligning my environment python version with Databricks cluster python version, the error got resolved.
