Why do I have a Kernel Error in Jupyter Notebook?

I am a newbie to python. I am getting the below error in Kernel while opening jupyter notebook. Any ideas how I can resolve it? Installation of jupyter has been done via Anaconda3 - tried reinstalling and setting environment variables, but no luck so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Traceback (most recent call last):

Simply uninstall and install jupyter by first: #Activate your environment in anaconda prompt (conda activate"path") and then type:-

  1. conda uninstall jupyter
  2. conda install jupyter

I battled to get Jupyter working on my Windows 10 office computer for a number of hours. This was after installing Anaconda3. I had versions of Python 2 and 3 installed before. I was getting 'Kernel error' and also had various errors about 'win32api' and 'tornado'

I did many things but in the end main ones that, I think, helped are listed below -

On install, Anaconda3 created a data folder here -

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3

I gave my user account access to write to this folder, I am not sure if it made a difference.

Elevated to admin, I copied two dll files as below -

pythoncom39.dll
pywintypes39.dll

From -

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32

To -

C:\windows\system32

At the 'Anaconda Prompt', a Windows cmd screen (which was added to my start menu) after the install, I did this -

(base) C:\>conda env create test-env

It created 'test-env' folder at C:\Users\{windows user name}\.conda\envs\test-env

(base) C:\>conda activate "C:\Users\{windows user name}\.conda\envs\test-env"

(test-env) C:\>

Once in this newly created environment, I tried various other things such as these -

conda install jupyter
conda install pywin32
python -m ipykernal install --user

Launching jupyter after loading and setting to this environment now works by using this command -

(test-env) C:\>jupyter notebook

When browser opens, select New>python 3 (ipykernel) from right hand menu to create new notebook.

This error is sometimes as a result of the deleted environment that was created before. For Windows users, run the following code in cmd

python -m ipykernel install –user

  • Step 2 command: conda activate (location of your env folder)
  • Step 3 command: python -m ipykernel install --user

Works for Windows.

The installation might have missed some steps which are fixed by post_install. Go to yout venv's Script directory and run the command

python .\pywin32_postinstall.py -install

Make sure you are running the shell with Admin rights.

It looks like you had installed jupyter when there was an issue with its dependencies on Windows. See https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/7259 . I ran into the same error.

It should be fixed on conda now, so if you uninstall and reinstall jupyterlab from conda, it should not throw that error anymore.

If you have Python installed on your pc run from cmd or powershell:

pip install jupyterlab

Then you can start it with:

jupyter lab
