One solution is adding pyspark-shell to the shell environment variable PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS:

export PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS="--master local[2] pyspark-shell"
There is a change in python/pyspark/java_gateway.py , which requires PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS includes pyspark-shell if a PYSPARK_SUBMIT_ARGS variable is set by a user.
