-HDInsight has two built-in Python installations in the Spark cluster, Anaconda Python 2.7 and Python 3.5. In some cases, customers need to customize the Python environment, like installing external Python packages or another Python version. In this article, we show the best practice of safely managing Python environments for an [Apache Spark](./apache-spark-overview.md) cluster on HDInsight.
+HDInsight has two built-in Python installations in the Spark cluster, Anaconda Python 2.7 and Python 3.5. Customers may need to customize the Python environment. Like installing external Python packages or another Python version. Here, we show the best practice of safely managing Python environments for Apache Spark clusters on HDInsight.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-An Apache Spark cluster on HDInsight. For instructions, see [Create Apache Spark clusters in Azure HDInsight](apache-spark-jupyter-spark-sql.md). If you do not already have a Spark cluster on HDInsight, you can run script actions during cluster creation. Visit the documentation on [how to use custom script actions](../hdinsight-hadoop-customize-cluster-linux.md).

 ## Support for open-source software used on HDInsight clusters
 
-The Microsoft Azure HDInsight service uses an ecosystem of open-source technologies formed around Apache Hadoop. Microsoft Azure provides a general level of support for open-source technologies.

 ## Safely install external Python packages

Directly installing custom packages in those default built-in environments may cause unexpected library version changes, and break the cluster further.

To safely install custom external Python packages for your Spark applications, follow below steps.
 
-1. Create Python virtual environment using conda. A virtual environment provides an isolated space for your projects without breaking others. When creating the Python virtual environment, you can specify python version that you want to use. Note that you still need to create virtual environment even though you would like to use Python 2.7 and 3.5. This is to make sure the cluster's default environment not getting broke. Run script actions on your cluster for all nodes with below script to create a Python virtual environment.

     -   `--prefix` specifies a path where a conda virtual environment lives. There are several configs that need to be changed further based on the path specified here. In this example, we use the py35new, as the cluster has an existing virtual environment called py35 already.
     -   `python=` specifies the Python version for the virtual environment. In this example, we use version 3.5, the same version as the cluster built in one. You can also use other Python versions to create the virtual environment.
