Your current interpreter requires jupyter to be installed and capable of running 'jupyter kernelspec list'. What happens if you click the install button? Does it work after that?

[ramdop]

When I click Install, the terminal shows a bunch of "Requirement already satisfied, skipping upgrade..." lines as it attempts to install. And then I get this :

Can you upload your console log? Go to Help | Toggle Developer Tools, click on the console tab, right click, save as and drop it here?

jupyter kernelspec list

is failing to work after installing for some reason.

@ajaygujja
Please could you provide the following information:

• Screenshot of the error message
• Python Version
• Are you using Anaconda or another interpreter
• What's the currently selected interpreter (displayed on the bottom left of VS Code statusbar)
  
  
  
  • This will be displayed when u have a python file opened or when you get the kernelspec not installed error.
  
  
• Output from console window
  
  
  
  • Open toggle developer tools
  
  
  • Go to console tab and save eveything into a text file and upload here

I have the same problem. Jupyter server running: not started | Python 3.8.2 64-bit: Not Started.

I have the same problem, using VS Code 1.45.1, Python 3.7.7 (miniconda env). For me, this workaround helps: Start VS Code from anaconda prompt with the correct environment activated:

1. open anaconda prompt
2. type: conda activate _your_env_name_
3. type: code

Result: "Run current file in an interactive window" now starts the jupyter kernel without errors.

The same problem here using Python 3.8.3. I was able to solve it by deleting the C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Python directory and then reinstall all python extensions in VS.

Looks like there is an easy workaround as mentioned above : delete the Python directory and reinstall python extensions in VS.

This works for me. Thanks :)

Doesn't work for me. Opens a new VS Code window where I get the same error. VSC 1.47.3. Python 3.7.7.

I've the same issue on Python 3.8.6 64-bit.

Also having the same issue on Python 3.8.3 64-bit. No issues on 32 bit python.
