Rajat Khandelwal commented on LIVY-886:
---------------------------------------
We see this error when trying to run any python code

Looking at line 223:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-livy/blob/master/repl/src/main/resources/fake_shell.py#L222-L223,
we see this.

After a bit of googling, we found this
https://bugs.python.org/issue35894#msg334808
!screenshot-3.png!
So, python 3.8 has changed the behaviour of `ast` module, which livy was
relying upon. The recommendation from Guido is that the code should be passing
an empty list as the second argument.
I tried that out and it just makes it work.
> Livy is incompatible with python 3.8+

> Key: LIVY-886
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIVY-886
> Project: Livy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Interpreter, REPL
> Affects Versions: 0.5.0, 0.6.0, 0.7.0
> Reporter: Rajat Khandelwal
> Priority: Major

> Due to python behaviour change after 3.8+, livy has become incompatible with
> python versions 3.8+. As of now, python 3.6 is out of support, so the only
> version livy is compatible with is 3.7.
> This is going to make the project obsolete very fast.
