Windows: cannot run notebook

[pllim]

I ran into a problem which has similar traceback as conda/conda#8171 . Despite that issue being marked as resolved and that I am using the latest release of conda 4.6.14, it still happened.

Tried some other things I found on the Internet like uninstalling and re-installing pyzmq and jupyter with either conda or pip. Didn't help.

In my case, the activate command gave some warnings about not able to find vc/vcvarsall.bat, which might or might not be related, as I could still use the environment.

At this point, I have wasted enough time on this, and thus my workaround is to re-create the tutorial enviroment without jupyter, jupyterlab, and nodejs, but add ipython to the YML, then run the examples inside a good ol' IPython session.

Oh my, I'm sorry you had to encounter this, @pllim. Yes, IPython should work. Should you decide that you'd like to use Jupyter again, I hope Binder serves as a feasible option for you.

I'm going to close this issue for now, but please feel free to re-open again if needed.

No problem. I opened this issue mainly so other Windows users can come here for group therapy. 😄
