sqlContext.read.text() does not work with a list of paths

When I try to load multiple text files with the sqlContext, I get the
following error:

spark-2.0.0-bin-hadoop2.4/python/lib/pyspark.zip/pyspark/sql/readwriter.py",
line 282, in text
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'path' referenced before assignment

According to the code
(https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/python/pyspark/sql/readwriter.py#L291),
the variable 'path' is not set if the argument is not a string.
