Pip Install Fails

[TheDataLeek]

When I install with pip as per the README, ipython cannot find the kernel.

Relevant errors:

I'll have a look at it... but it might be this weekend! hy_kernel certainly
needs some love.

what versions of things are you running? pip freeze might help.

Hey, not sure if this is the same problem, but I had very similar error messages. Turns out the problem was that I had installed hy_kernel under Python 3 (since I now prefer developing using Python 3), but Jupyter was trying to start the kernel using /usr/bin/python, which is usually Python 2. (You can see this in the console output /usr/bin/python: No module named hy_kernel )

I worked around the problem by editing the file
~/.local/share/jupyter/kernels/hy/kernel.json
and changing the second line
"argv": ["python", "-m", "hy_kernel.hy_kernel", "-f", "{connection_file}"],
to
"argv": ["python3", "-m", "hy_kernel.hy_kernel", "-f", "{connection_file}"],

That´s pretty quick-and-dirty though, a more permanent fix is needed. Also, not sure if this will solve the OP´s problem.
