Question: I have started to use PySpark. Version of PySpark is 3.5.4 and it's installed via pip. This is my code: from pyspark.sql import SparkSession pyspark = SparkSession.builder.master("local[8]").appName("test").getOrCreate() df = pyspark.read.csv("test.csv", header=True) print(df.show())  Every time I run the program using: python test_01.py  It prints all this info about pyspark(in yellow):  How to disable it, so it will not print it.

Answer:  Different lines are coming from different sources.  Windows ("SUCCESS: ..."), spark launcher shell/batch scripts (":: loading settings ::...") core spark code logging using log4j2 core spark code printing using System.out.println()   Different lines are written to different fds (std-out, std-error, log4j log file) Spark offers different "scripts" (pyspark, spark-submit, spark-shell, ...) for different purposes. You're probably using the wrong one here.  It's very tedious to pick and choose to disable lines from specific sources going to specific fds. Easiest of course is to control the core logs using log4j2, which can be done as described in wiltonsr's answer or a little more detailed here.  Based on what you're looking to do, simplest is to use spark-submit, which is meant to be used for headless execution: CMD> cat test.py from pyspark.sql import SparkSession spark = SparkSession.builder \ .config('spark.jars.packages', 'io.delta:delta-core_2.12:2.4.0') \ # just to produce logs .getOrCreate() spark.createDataFrame(data=[(i,) for i in range(5)], schema='id: int').show() CMD> spark-submit test.py +---+ | id| +---+ | 0| | 1| | 2| | 3| | 4| +---+ CMD>   To understand who is writing what to which fd is a tedious process, it might even change with platform (Linux/Windows/Mac). I would not recommend it. But if you really want, here are a few hints:  From your original code:   print(df.show())   df.show() prints df to stdout and returns None. print(df.show()) prints None to stdout.

When you run it with python. –IGRACH  Would not recommend. Seems like it's coming from java_gateway.py. You can add stdout=PIPE to the Popen call in your local installation and the output of taskkill will be suppressed. if on_windows: # In Windows, the child process here is "spark-submit.cmd", not the JVM itself # (because the UNIX "exec" command is not available). This means we cannot simply # call proc.kill(), which kills only the "spark-submit.cmd" process but not the # JVMs. Instead, we use "taskkill" with the tree-kill option "/t" to terminate all # child processes in the tree (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491009.aspx) def killChild(): Popen(["cmd", "/c", "taskkill", "/f", "/t", "/pid", str(proc.pid)])  Change last line to: Popen(["cmd", "/c", "taskkill", "/f", "/t", "/pid", str(proc.pid)], stdout=PIPE)
