What version of jupyter are you using? What version of calysto scheme do you have?

I just tried with the latest, and everything works.

@dsblank
> jupyter --version 4.4.0
calysto-scheme (1.2.0)

I think that maybe it is not compatible with my Windows machine I'm using

[dsblank]

There's your problem: you need to update jupyter and related packages, like jupyter_console. Alternatively, you might be able to go back to a previous version of calysto_scheme, but not sure which version you would need.

@dsblank I'm so happy about it, thank you a lot!

Thanks, and glad you got it working! Have fun 😄
