py4j.protocol.Py4JError: org.apache.spark.api.python.PythonUtils.getEncryptionEnabled does not exist in the JVM

Using findspark is expected to solve the problem:

Install findspark

$pip install findspark

In you code use:

import findspark
findspark.init() 

Optionally you can specify “/path/to/spark” in the init method above; findspark.init("/path/to/spark")
