Hi Paul. Up until recently, conda was shipping with nb_kernel_extension (or I don't remember the name) that would automatically discover kernel in multiple env. So 2 is IMHO (prefered).
Also at some point the notebook _server_ will drop Python 2, so you will have to run the server from a separate env from your Python 2 kernels. That basically whal all the non-python kernel are doing. So 2 seem to be the prefered way if the only thing you care about are kernels extensions. Nuance on your "2", the notebook does not need to be in the root env, it can be on any env, and see kernels from other envs. -- M On Thu, Apr 6, 2017 at 1:54 PM, Paul Hobson <[email protected]> wrote: > Jupyter team: > > Congrats on the 5.0 release.
