Selecting Python interpreter in conda environment has no effect

Version: 1.52.1 (user setup) Commit: ea3859d4ba2f3e577a159bc91e3074c5d85c0523 Date: 2020-12-16T16:34:46.910Z Electron: 9.3.5 Chrome: 83.0.4103.122 Node.js: 12.14.1 V8: 8.3.110.13-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17763

Expected behaviour

Selecting a Python interpreter in the Jupyter extension’s interpreter drop-down menu (or using command palette) should result in that interpreter being used in the Jupyter notebook.

Actual behaviour

Selecting the Python 3.9.1 interpreter in a conda environment from the drop-down menu (or using command palette) seems to have no effect. It is stuck on the one in the base conda environment (3.7.7 in my case).

Steps to reproduce:

Open an .ipynb file as Jupyter notebook, switch Python interpreters. Print sys.version

import sys
print(sys.version)

Wrong version displayed, as shown in this screenshot:

vscode-jupyter-python-interpreter

We have been making changes in both the python extension and the jupyter extension to fix this sort of thing lately. It all depends upon what version you had before I guess. I’ll close this issue since it seems like it resolved itself.

What version is the Jupyter extension?

Additionally we’d need the ‘Jupyter’ output tab data. It should list what the command was that we ran to start the kernel.

My guess is that Python 3.9.2 64-bit (sutokora: conda) shares a kernelspec with something else and when we launch the kernel it’s finding the something else instead.

For example the kernelspec might look like this:

"python3": {
      "resource_dir": "C:\\Users\\aku91\\AppData\\Local\\Packages\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\\LocalCache\\local-packages\\Python39\\site-packages\\ipykernel\\resources",
      "spec": {
        "argv": [
          "python",
          "-m",
          "ipykernel_launcher",
          "-f",
          "{connection_file}"
        ],
        "env": {},
        "display_name": "Python 3",
        "language": "python",
        "interrupt_mode": "signal",
        "metadata": {}
      }
    }

The ‘python’ argument is ambiguous.

But we’d need the output to determine if that’s the case.

The jupyter extension version would be helpful too. We’ve made some fixes around this lately.
