A new Data Days event is coming soon! This time we’re going bigger than ever. Fabric, Power BI, SQL, AI and more. Don't miss out.

Support for developing python/R modules files in Spark

Very excited about Fabric in general, and the support for data scientists with delta as the underlying interoperability.


However, it is currently impossible to build a sophisticated Fabric Spark pipeline with more than 2 or 3 python files. This is the current set up really supports one notebook at a time, rather than a folder of python files/modules. To include python files as reference files/modules, we have to upload them or provide and ABFS link one at a time


In contrast Databricks allow "workspace files" where developers can author arbitrary number of python files in the workspace, and then they work as normal python files for importing.

The ability to work with an arbitrary number of python files will be essential for any serious Spark pipeline development
