>                 Key: SPARK-2003
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2003
>             Project: Spark
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Documentation, PySpark
>    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
>            Reporter: Diana Carroll
>
> Using SparkConf with SparkContext as described in the Programming Guide does NOT work in Python:
> conf = SparkConf.setAppName("blah")
> sc = SparkContext(conf)
> When I tried I got 
> AttributeError: 'SparkConf' object has no attribute '_get_object_id'
> [This equivalent code in Scala works fine:
> val conf = new SparkConf().setAppName("blah")
> val sc = new SparkContext(conf)]
> I think this is because there's no equivalent for the Scala constructor SparkContext(SparkConf).  
> Workaround:
> If I explicitly set the conf parameter in the python call, it does work:
> sconf = SparkConf.setAppName("blah")
> sc = SparkContext(conf=sconf)
