Jupyter extension on VSCode brings wrong interpreter

Question

In the first two lines, I printed the current executable path, but it didn't load the correct path C:\pyvenv\ai\Scripts\python.exe.

Answer 1

I find this method to be easier to manage and understand than the ipykernel install method because you can just delete your virtual environment when you're done.

1. Install Jupyter in your desired environment, in your case:

C:\pyvenv\ai\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install jupyterlab

2. In VSCode, open your command palette using CTRL+SHIFT+P (⌘+SHIFT+P on Mac) and select the "Jupyter: Select interpreter to start Jupyter server" command

3. Select the Python interpreter you just used to install jupyter from the list of kernels (I had to restart VSCode to get the environment to show up in that list).
