Hello everyone,
I’ve tried for 2 days to create a new environment in conda with a kernel for Jupyter from which to run Jupyter Notebook, but the kernel keeps dying if I try to execute scripts on it. From my base conda environment everything runs fine, here are its specifications:
active environment : base
active env location : C:\Users\Vaandrager\anaconda3
shell level : 1
user config file : C:\Users\Vaandrager\.condarc
populated config files : C:\Users\Vaandrager.condarc
conda version : 4.8.2
conda-build version : 3.18.11
python version : 3.7.6.final.0
virtual packages :
base environment : C:\Users\Vaandrager\anaconda3 (writable)
channel URLs : /main/win-64 ##with a correct URL infront which Im not allowed to post
/main/noarch
/r/win-64
/r/noarch
/msys2/win-64
/msys2/noarch
package cache : C:\Users\Vaandrager\anaconda3\pkgs
C:\Users\Vaandrager.conda\pkgs
C:\Users\Vaandrager\AppData\Local\conda\conda\pkgs
envs directories : C:\Users\Vaandrager\anaconda3\envs
C:\Users\Vaandrager.conda\envs
C:\Users\Vaandrager\AppData\Local\conda\conda\envs
platform : win-64
user-agent : conda/4.8.2 requests/2.22.0 CPython/3.7.6 Windows/10 Windows/10.0.18362
administrator : False
netrc file : None
offline mode : False
I use the following commands to create an environment using the anaconda prompt:
conda create -n python2_env python=2 ipykernel jupyter
conda activate python2_env
python -m ipykernel install --user --name python2_env --display-name “python2_env”
This is the kernelspec list
(base) C:\Users\Vaandrager>jupyter kernelspec list
Available kernels:
python2_env C:\Users\Vaandrager\AppData\Roaming\jupyter\kernels\python2_env
python3 C:\Users\Vaandrager\anaconda3\share\jupyter\kernels\python3
If I check the kernel.json file where it was installed it looks similar to the base kernel file, except that it points to the anaconda3\envs\python2_env\python.exe instead of anaconda3\python.exe (which I think is the whole point).
If I open jupyter notebook from the conda prompt from the python2_env or if I open jupyter notebook from base and then change kernels, the notebook opens initially, but after a few seconds or if I execute a cell, the kernel dies, giving the following error (here I have opened jupyter notebook from base, then opened an example ipynb (in this case a cplex example notebook) and then switched kernel to the newly created kernel in a seperate conda environment):

After this, I can change back to the base (Python 3) kernel which works fine. After this error the newly created anaconda environment (here python2_env) has a whole lot of files less and also the python.exe file is then deleted/gone. I’ve tried installing kernels via nb_conda_kernels and downgrading the pywin32 to version 224 in the python2_env, I have reinstalled anaconda and tried with miniconda, and I have tried creating an environment in the anaconda navigator and theninstalling jupyter notebook for this env through the interface, but nothing seems to work. I don’t think anaconda is the problem, because if I create environments for regular python scripts in pyCharm for example, they work fine, the environment gets ‘corrupted’ after trying to run .ipynb files there or if I open Jupyter Notebook.
I hope someone can help me solve this problem, thanks in advance!
