When python-shell-interpreter is set to "jupyter", conda is unable to change the environment of the interpreter.

Hi,

conda.el works very well when python-shell-interpreter is set to "python3". However, when using "jupyter" as python-shell-interpreter , the jupyter console is still executed in the base environment even if I have called conda-env-activate.

Below are my configs for python shell interpreter

(setq python-shell-interpreter "jupyter"
      python-shell-interpreter-args "console --simple-prompt"
      python-shell-prompt-detect-failure-warning nil)
(add-to-list 'python-shell-completion-native-disabled-interpreters
             "jupyter")

Can you show me the output of `which -a jupyter` in your terminal? Zhenhua Wang ***@***.***> writes:

Thanks for your reply. Before conda activate, which -a jupyter gives

After running conda activate tf, the jupyter in the tf does show up

I suspect you want to use the pythonic helper functions for your use-case -- as suggested at https://github.com/pythonic-emacs/pythonic#project-settings , if you set the pythonic-interpreter variable it may behave better:

(setq pythonic-interpreter "jupyter")

Note that conda.el changes the Python environment using python-shell-virtualenv-root, which is provided by python.el in the core Emacs distribution, and I'm not 100% sure how to make sure jupyter's path is correctly calculated.

If this doesn't work for you, please reopen and we can figure out how to do this!

Thanks for your help! The variable python-shell-interpreter is also part of the core emacs, so I also have no idea why this won't work. As for the pythonic package, I am not sure what it does as oppose to core emacs, so I don't plan to use it.

I do find that Ipython console ((setq python-shell-interpreter "ipython")) works very well with conda.el. Since ipython is almost the same as jupyter, I'll just use this console.
