I would like to use it with Jupyter Lab, a virtual environment created using virtualenv in the Terminal of my computer.

When I want to use the environment in the Terminal, I run workon ami, ami is the name of the environment and it works fine. I have installed some modules such as matplotlib, which I can use inside this environment.

I have tried to use this environment in Jupyter Lab. I have run

python -m ipykernel install --user --name=ami

The name ami can be selected as a kernel in the Jupyter Lab session, but the matplotlib module is not installed. It seems the ami environment created is not the same as that used in the Terminal.

I have tried to install Jupyter Lab in the ami environment, but it does not have matplotlib installed.

I would like to use the environment in Jupyter Lab without installing the Python modules that I already installed.

  • Possible duplicate of stackoverflow.com/questions/29900090/… ... but that's just the explanation of why it doesn't work. Is there a reason you don't simply activate your virtualenv? Commented Oct 10, 2020 at 7:10
  • @tripleee Hi, My question is different to the post linked. My virtualenv works fine. I make workon ami and the modules load is correct. For example, I can import matplotlib. However, when I start jupyter lab and use ami kernel then the modules are not there and I cannot import them. Commented Oct 10, 2020 at 8:55
  • But workon requires a shell, and you don't run a shell inside Jupyter, do you? Commented Oct 10, 2020 at 9:07

  • @tripleee Thank you. It does work fine if I do workon ami and then run jupyter-notebook. However, it does not work running the notebook in jupiter lab. Is there any way to use the environment in jupyter lab ?. The ami kernel I want to use is there but modules installed in the environment are not. Commented Oct 10, 2020 at 19:01
