pip install it, you will first need to build the Spark JARs as described above.
Then you can construct an sdist package suitable for setup.py and pip

Just to confirm, if I run this:
```
./dev/make-distribution.sh --pip
```
It should take care of both building the right JARs _and_ building the

Then I just run:
```
pip install -e ./python/
```
to install Spark into my Python environment.
Is that all correct?
