Jupyterlab: Can the launcher show python 2 notebook or terminal option?

[minertom]

I have jupyter notebook installed and python 3.6 is an option as shown in the launcher.
When I open the launcher, I see icons for opening notebooks and terminals but all are in python3. I have installed packages as shown here:

conda create -n py2 python=2 anaconda

register py2 kernel

activate py2
ipython kernel install
pip install jupyterhub

When I open a new launcher I still see no option for opening a python2 terminal or notebook, only python3.

Also, when I open a particular notebook that I have, I see options for changing the kernel but only see the option for python3 or pythonV (which I don't know what that is).

I know that the code from the notebook that I am importing "wants" python 2.7. It is in the documentation and also it is obvious because of how the "print" command is used.

Thank You

Hi @minertom, to see kernels from other conda environments, you can run conda install nb_conda_kernels, and then launch JupyterLab again.

Thank You! Is there a way to upvote you on this forum?

You are welcome! I'm not aware of such a global upvote feature in GitHub, but that would be an interesting one.
