What is the difference between Apache Spark and Python?

The question is about Apache Spark

Answer:

Apache Spark is a distributed computing engine designed for big data processing, whereas Python is a general-purpose programming language. Python can be used as an interface to interact with Spark via APIs such as PySpark. While Spark focuses on parallelizing data tasks across clusters, Python is better suited for smaller-scale tasks, data cleaning, and integration with machine learning libraries like TensorFlow or Scikit-learn.
