Jupyter Notebook - Python 3 kernel

Question

I have Jupyter Notebook installed and working. However it only has python 2 kernel.

I tried reinstalling Anaconda with Python 3.6 version of python, which worked fine (apart from deleting all my environments, etc.), but no change in relation to the kernels available for Jupyter.

I have tried installing jupyter using pip (the solution to this question), but I get the error message Requirement already satisfied: jupyter in c:\users\username\anaconda2\lib\site-packages

Any ideas?

@senderle Yes, this is the problem I think. I'm taking a look at this stackoverflow.com/questions/41862682/… — Stumbler

Are you using pip3 install jupyter?

a more robust solution would be to isolate your environments with something like pipenv.

pip install pipenv

pipenv install --three

this will install a virtual environment with python3

install packages

pipenv install jupyter

activate the env

pipenv shell

start the notebook

jupyter notebook

You should be able to see the python3 option now.

Pip3 wasn't my first choice for a solution to this, but it has been the only successful approach that I've found to add a python 3 kernel to jupyter notebook
