Can I add arguments to python code when I submit spark job?

Even though sys.argv is a good solution, I still prefer this more proper way of handling line command args in my PySpark jobs:

import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--ngrams", help="some useful description.")
args = parser.parse_args()
if args.ngrams:
    ngrams = args.ngrams

This way, you can launch your job as follows:

spark-submit job.py --ngrams 3
