Jupyter - Python 3 kernel dies

Fedora 21, default Python is 2.7, 3.x installed, originally installed iPython, now have also installed Jupyter

When I try to use the Python3 kernel from Jupyter notebook, I get a message saying the kernel has died, attempting restart. Naturally restart never succeeds.

Tried following these 2 terminal commands

ipython kernelspec install-self

ipython3 kernelspec install-self

first command executes without error. second gives this error ipython3 kernelspec install-self

I used iPython with Python 3 kernel in the past, before installing Jupyter. I don't remember installing ipython3 to do so.

Suggestions how to resolve? I have searched and the above was the only suggestion I found that was not based on using Anaconda.

Also, I do have kernel.json at ~/.ipython/kernels/python3

thank you

UPDATE last output on terminal when kernel dies

ImportError: No module named 'ptyprocess'

UPDATE2 traceback error

[xxxxx@localhost ~]$ sudo ipython3 kernelspec install-self

I have just started learning python with the jupyter notebook, and I came across the same problem you did. An associate found the problem - I had crated a python program random.py and saved it into my Python directory. Since random is also the name of a module that I installed, an error message was generated in the Anaconda prompt window. Please check your directories for .py files named after reserved words and modules.

I've just been installing python, ipython, upyter and pyspark as a kernel. I run into some troubles that seem to be close to what you are having. Many times that I used "sudo ..." I would get the wrong python version. I think somehow sudo run commands without a shell, so if you have any configuration (path, python version,etc), you may not get it applied when using sudo. Something you could do is to run "sudo python", then see if you can import the module path. Also you could try to run "sudo which python" to make sure it's the right version. I found that even if the user had python 2.7 installed, sudo would use python 2.6. For me the best thing to do was to log in as root and do the installation without sudo...
