How can I utilize Python interpreter on Zeppelin?

[Adamantios Corais <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to use Python on Zeppelin in order to use a python
wrapper for D3 or NVD3 such as this one
<https://github.com/areski/python-nvd3>. My problems, however, are that:

I don't know how to utilize the Python interpreter on Zeppelin and then use
it by doing %python
I don't know how to pass data (RDD) from Spark to Python (or how should I
cast them to something else)

Any ideas how to achieve that? Apparently, my main problem is that NVD3
support on Zeppelin is very weak at the moment...
