How to use _repr_html_ with pyspark 2.2 and python 2.7

Question

I run the following line at my terminal and I got an error, but it works fine in jupyter notebook.

df._repr_html_()

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/lib/spark/python/pyspark/sql/dataframe.py", line 1020, in getattr "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (self.class.name, name)) AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute '_repr_html_'

Answer 1

It doesn't work on my terminal because it's not a visual interpreter, so I had to go through the data frame collecting the values I needed and creating a string like html. Then, I could attached to an email I send from python at the terminal and works fine.
