-**Tip**: to get the version of Py4J shipped with Spark:
-
- * Build a first image without changing `py4j_version` (it will not prevent the image to build it will just prevent Python to find the `pyspark` module),
- * get the version (`ls /usr/local/spark/python/lib/`),
- * set the version `--build-arg py4j_version=0.10.7`.
-
-```bash
-docker run -it --rm jupyter/pyspark-notebook:spark-2.4.6 ls /usr/local/spark/python/lib/ 
-# py4j-0.10.7-src.zip  PY4J_LICENSE.txt  pyspark.zip
-# You can now set the build-arg
-# --build-arg py4j_version=
+# Using Scala version 2.11.12, OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM, 1.8.0_275
 ```
 
-*Note: At the time of writing there is an issue preventing to use Spark `2.4.6` with Python `3.8`, see [this answer on SO](https://stackoverflow.com/a/62173969/4413446) for more information.*

 ### Usage Examples
 
 The `jupyter/pyspark-notebook` and `jupyter/all-spark-notebook` images support the use of [Apache Spark](https://spark.apache.org/) in Python, R, and Scala notebooks. The following sections provide some examples of how to get started using them.
