We need to ‘activate’ the virtual env prior to running jupyter. Right now we’re just using the same python.
The other jupyters running is us searching for one that will work. We don’t actually need the same environment to start jupyter, we just need to point it at the correct one (see jupyter kernel specs).
Although now that we know we need to activate it, this will likely change too, as I doubt Jupyter/iPython activates the virtual environment before using it.
Okay thanks. That helps. Looks like virtual pipenvs aren’t supported yet then.
