I recently tried using ipython notebook in a pipenv shell and realized that all of my imports were missing. This is because the the kernel selected is wrong.

In your project directory run:

pipenv install ipykernel
pipenv shell

When you start your pipenv, you'll see a shell name in your terminal like (my-virtualenv-name) bash-4.4$. You need to add that to the kernel list in jupyter notebook. Do that by running:

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=my-virtualenv-name

Restart your jupyter and go to your notebook. In the Kernel>Change Kernel menu, you should now see your pipenv in the list under my-virtualenv-name.

Select that and you're good to go!


My partner and I went on a date to do our civic duty this morning at one of the advanced polls. #elxn43 #cdnpoli


Having an artsy afternoon to get ready for tomorrow’s #pottery class. Can’t wait to see how this bowl looks with a pooling glaze.


Wrapping up #ghc19 with some of my new twitterfellow buds and munching on spaghetti 🍝 🐦


The @tern gang at #ghcbeachboardwalk. I had a blast meeting all these cool folks at #ghc19 this year. Can’t wait to see what sort of shenanigans they get up to in the future. #sheinspires


There’s an @bostondynamicsofficial robot booth at #ghc19 🤖I’ve always wanted to meet spot! ✨😍 They are so much more impressive in person!


Getting ready for #ghc19!

Really stoked to meet up with old friends and make some new ones 🤗✨


On my way to #ghc19 in Orlando. Around 25 000 people are attending this year! Maybe I'll find some reinforcement learning friends while I'm there...

Misreading some derivations you did months ago and fundamentally questioning whether or not you know what maths is feels like a uniquely grad-school thing.
