Glad it helped!

My pleasure, delighted to have you join me here!

I haven't ever tried sharing kernels -- thanks for telling me about this; it sounds very useful.

I think the launcher is just a way to start new notebooks, consoles, etc. Each of those still has its own kernel.

I know that it's possible to change the color definitions, but I'm not sure how, I'm afraid.

JupyterLab can handle folders, including sub-folders. So you can put documents, including notebooks, inside of those folders.

@@ReuvenLerner Yes, well, I mean "include" (=call/embed/encapsulate) an external/underlying file (e.g. .md, .tex, etc.) into a cell of a new document, which will be automatically uptated when the content of the underlying file changes ...

@@kisho2679 Oh, I don't think that's possible. (Maybe I'm wrong, though!) Instead, you'll probably want/need to write a bunch of code in a Python module and then import that module into your notebook.

They're not going to add it into Jupyter or JupyterLab, but there are Python modules you can use to connect, if/when you want.

I'm not sure; I'm not really a math person, and haven't ever used SageMath. I know that Jupyter has some integration with TeX/LaTeX, but I've never used it.

I'm sure that there are graphical launchers, but I'm' a command-line kind of guy, so I haven't ever used them. Sorry!

Thanks... I guess...

I have to sheepishly admit that I'm usually teaching, and don't need venvs when I'm doing that. So Jupyter + venvs isn't something I personally need to deal with much. That said, this is a great topic suggestion, and I know that there are a bunch of good solutions out there. Let me see what I can dig up, and I'll try to do a video about that down the road!

Vscode makes it pretty user friendly to select the version of python you want to use -- click on the name of the current python interpreter on the bottom of the window (in the status area) and then navigate to the python virtual environment you want to use. Is creating the virtual environment itself the issue? Creating and tearing down virtual environments is pretty routine once you've been developing in python for a while, but there is a tool called "virtualenvwrapper" that you can use to bundle up commands you want to run every time you create a new virtual environment that might be useful to you (for example, if you want to put pandas in every new virtual environment you create, virtualenvwrapper will give you a hook to implement that).

@@tenaj524 Good point! I always forget how much of this functionality VSCode includes. Thanks for sharing!

Since the new version of Jupyter notebook came out, I think that the advantages (for people like me, at least) have largely melted away.
