IPython install failed for new conda environment

Testing #11755

I created a new conda environment with the Python: Create Environment command When ran a cell in the IW, I was prompted to install IPython and clicked install The cell fails, but the install seemed to actually work, subsequent cell executions are successful

The cell failed to execute with the error

Running cells with ‘c:\src\test\5.conda\python.exe’ requires ipykernel package. Run the following command to install ‘ipykernel’ into the Python environment. Command: ‘conda install -p c:\src\test\5.conda\python.exe ipykernel --update-deps --force-reinstall’

Error popup:

Error processing line 7 of C:\Users\aamunger\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\pywin32.pth: Traceback (most recent call last): File “c:\src\test\5.conda\lib\site.py”, line 186, in addpackage exec(line) File “<string>”, line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pywin32_bootstrap’ Remainder of file ignored c:\src\test\5.conda\python.exe: No module named ipykernel_launcher.

Just confirmed that a conda env created with Python: create Environment still fails repeatedly

Yes, this is due to an upstream bug in Python extesnion, see here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/issues/11781#issuecomment-1291230337

Verified as working (upstream Python extension issue has been resolved)
