Jupyter not starting in Win 10

kashivis · October 22, 2019, 1:07pm

Hi, I am not able to start Jupyter in Windows 10 using the command jupyter-notebook. It gives me the error:

How did you install Python? (e.g. Which installer). It looks like it does not fully support async io events.

Note: Not a expert in Windows/Python, so this could be a wild goose chase…

drepamig · October 22, 2019, 7:28pm

I’m trying to figure out how to fix this issue as well, however I did find this issue for Tornado / asyncio: https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado/issues/2608

I can confirm that if you edit site-packages\tornado\platform\asyncio.py and, on a new line after “import asyncio” (line 29), add

asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())

jupyter-notebook works

However, this is an ugly workaround. Hopefully it’ll get patched properly.

kashivis · October 24, 2019, 8:35am

Thanks for the work-around hack!. It opened for me after putting import asyncio in tornado’s asyncio.py

Will test if my asyncio works. It used to work in my previous installation

Hope the developers do something to fix it.

Solved the issue using C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts> python pywin32_postinstall.py … the kernel seems to be working now.

kashivis · October 24, 2019, 9:02am

Also had issues installing lxml. Had to manually…

pip install C:\Users\<me>\Downloads\lxml-4.4.1-cp38-cp38-win32.whl

Thanks kashivis and drepamig, I had the same issues and your workarounds solved them.

stonebig · October 27, 2019, 6:12pm

Apparently, it’s currently planed for Jupyterlab-2.0 milestone https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/6487 , somewhere Q1 2020

Ravi-Theja-Kolluru · November 10, 2019, 11:52am

Hi Kashivis,
I am facing the same problem…
I did go through the sollution given below… Great!!
but my problem did not get solved though… I request you to help me as soon as possible because I am in need of using this particular software in particular… It is highly appreciated…
