Hi, everyone,

I run IPython notebook by the following command:

sudo ipython3 notebook --profile-dir=/etc/ces/ipython/profile_myserver/ --user=xfliu95 --ipython-dir=/tmp/xfliu95/ipython --notebook-dir=/home/xfliu95

The kernels installed are listed as below.

$ ipython3 kernelspec list
Available kernels:
  python3
  octave_kernel

In the dropmenu of ipython notebook, I can select both python3 and octave.

Since I have some python code that only runs on python2.7, I would like to add python2.7 kernel for ipython 3.

Could anyone give me some hint on the kernel installation?

I would like to see python 2.7 in the dropmenu of IPython notebook.

You'll need to install IPython for Python 2.7 (using pip or conda running on 2.7), and then run 'ipython2 kernelspec install-self'.

Dear Takowl,

Many thanks for your advice. After several days of struggling work, everything works well now.

I installed python2.7 and python3.4 by using conda. Yes, conda is very cool.

Thanks again!
