Custom Jupyter Kernels
======================

It's possible to create custom Python environments for use within a Jupyter
notebook without having to run a jupyter server from each of them. The following
steps will allow you to have a single jupyter server running and have it use a
variety of Python environments in its notebooks

1.  Create a virtualenv and install any packages that you want available
2.  ``pip install ipykernel``
3.  ``ipykernel install --user --name <envname> --display-name <display name>``

Then the new environment should become available in the Change kernel menu
