Subject:   Jupyter kernel installation independent of Python version number?
Message-ID:  <AM4PR0401MB22432E228F70A101EC65DA78C0190@AM4PR0401MB2243.eurprd04.prod.outlook.com>

I'm trying to use Jupyter with a Julia language kernel on FreeBSD 11.1 stab=
le. The IJulia installer assumes that kernels are installed like this, but =
that doesn't seem to be the case on FreeBSD:

                jupyter -kernelspec <stuff>

As a workaround, I can use

                jupyter -kernelspec-3.6 <stuff>

or

                jupyter-kernelspec-3.6 <stuff>

But both of these require me to know the python version number (3.6) and th=
is doesn't play well with automated installers such as IJulia build.jl. See=
 https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/pull/606

Is there a way to install Python / Jupyter on FreeBSD where I get Python3.6=
, but I don't have to specify the version to Jupyter please? I suspect that=
 in my naivety, there is a better way to install Python and Jupyter that sp=
ecifies the required default version? In general, does anybody have any int=
roductory material or tips on setting up a modern Python3 development envir=
onment with Jupyter, Matplotlib etc on FreeBSD post FLAVORs please?

Thanks

Rob.
