Looking for help with a Kernel error

I think you have an old kernelspec pointing to an environment that doesn’t exist anymore, in your user directory, which has higher priority than a given Python installation’s default. You can remove this with:

jupyter kernelspec remove python3

which should give you a confirmation like:

Kernel specs to remove:
  python3             	/Users/alexandre/Library/Jupyter/kernels/python3
Remove 1 kernel specs [y/N]

After this, if you run jupyter kernelspec list you should see an entry for python3 in your environment, like:

Available kernels:
  python3      /Users/alexandre/anaconda3/share/jupyter/kernels/python3

If you don’t see that, you can recreate it with:

ipython kernel install --sys-prefix
