Python 3.8.5 already Installed but terminal uses 3.7.6 on typing python3 - command-line

I will come straight to the point. I installed python version 3.8.5 as the latest stable python version but when I use the command python3 in my terminal it makes me use python 3.7.6.
Is there a way to fix this?

Make sure you have added the local of the new version to your PATH variable, and ensure the command s referring to the right file with
python3 —version

Jupyter Notebook Error: "Jupyter command `jupyter-notebook` not found."

I just downloaded vscode using homebrew and install python#3.11 using homebrew as well. I used pip3 install jupyter as I saw other recommend to fix this issue and still no luck. I have downloaded all the extensions on vscode and I have set the kernal to homebrew version of python and I still recieve this issue. Note that I have used notebooks in the past and have never gotten this issue so I am not really sure what it is this time. I have not installed anaconda.
I have tried uninstalling and installing the extensions but no luck. I have tried to pip3 uninstall jupyter, pip3 uninstall notebook and reinstall them and still no luck. I have tried to change the kernal to the default python3 on the mac and still nothing. My mac is m1 running on Ventura 13.2. I am able to run python code on regular python files just not using jupyter notebook. I followed the instructions how to set it up on vscode website but I got this error. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
I have same issue using VSCode on Mac OS.
VSCode's 'Jupyter' plugin is broken, causing VSCode unable to bind with python interpreter. Downgrading from v2023.1.2000312134 to v2022.11.1003412109 fixed my issue.
I had the same issue, running on m1 mac (Ventura 13.2). If you aren't already, make sure you are utilising a python virtual environment:
# Create a python virtual environment
$ python -m venv venv
# Activate your python virtual environment
$ source venv/bin/activate
Form your VSCode Command Palette (Shift+Command+P), search and then choose
Jupyter: Select Interpreter to Start Jupyter Server
You should then select the python version that is associated to your virtual environment (venv).

Plotly installed, but VSCode doesn't seem to think so

I'm trying to learn how to use Plotly using VSCode, but the minute I run my code from the terminal, it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plotly' Any idea why this is happening? Python is installed via Anaconda, and if I try to do pip install plotly it tells me it's already installed. I've tried nearly everything I can find about this issue and nothing works. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'll also add that when I do pip install plotly it gives the following:
Requirement already satisfied: plotly in /Users/username/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (4.14.3) Requirement already satisfied: retrying>=1.3.3 in /Users/username/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from plotly) (1.3.3) Requirement already satisfied: six in /Users/username/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from plotly) (1.15.0)
It's possible that you have multiple python versions installed and pip installed plotly for the wrong version. Try to do pip --version and in your code (before the plotly import) do
import sys
print(sys.version)
to see if the python versions match. If they don't, you may have to call pip3 install instead.
(Would have posted this as a comment, but don't have enough reputation).
Accidental fix found: I was working with the bash shell on the VS Code terminal. I switched to the zsh shell by doing exec zsh. When I ran the file using the zsh shell, everything worked.

Can't import plotly in Notebook in Visual Studio Code

I'm trying to create graphs using plotly for the first time. Since I'm currently using Visual Studio Code for my coding (either python scripts or notebooks), I'm currently trying to use plotly in VSC.
I've installed everything from the plotly getting started page (conda installed plotly, notebook, ipywidgets and even jupyter) but I'm still getiing an error when importing.
The thing is, when I've tried importing plotly in a python file in VSC, it's running well. I've also tried running it in a Jupyter Notebook and it's also running.
import plotly.express as px
I'm pretty sure that I've installed everything in the correct environment and I'm using the same environment all throughout.
What do I need to run plotly in a notebook in VSC?
It seems like your python versions/pip versions are different (especially if you're using an env). In Visual studio Code, you can bring up a simple terminal directing to the directory of your project (or env). Just click Terminal > New terminal. This will bring up a terminal (like CMD or terminal) at the bottom of the screen.
From then you can check the version of Pip and python for either your system globally, or the version install in your env. As long as your env is activated, then it will check the versions for the env, not your system.
For macOS:
To show all python installations of your system:
which -a python
To get the version for python 3 (which is what you should be on):
python3 --version
To get the version for pip:
pip -v
For windows:
python3 --version
pip -v
If the versions are incorrect then you can either install the right version of pip in your env or change python paths. First option is recommended.
If you are using macOS. Entering the command which -a python will show a very old Python 2.X version. Do not tamper with this or it's path as it is needed by macOS to run.

Trying to import docx in Python

Fair Warning: I am extremely new to python, so please excuse any dumb mistakes I make =)
I would like to be able to open/close/manipulate/read Word documents (docx files) on my Mac using Python. The python-docx module looked really useful, so I have been trying to install it on my system, to no avail.
Here's what I've done so far:
Checked that I do indeed have python installed using the python --version command in terminal. I have version 3.7.0, so all good there.
Checked that I do indeed have pip installed - I was able to use pip install and pip uninstall commands, so all good. I also upgraded my pip version using pip install --upgrade pip to pip-19.1.1
Following the online documentation (see here), I tried pip install python-docx. This seemed to work just fine, and after the progress bar loaded all the way I saw:
Successfully built python-docx
twisted 18.7.0 requires PyHamcrest>=1.9.0, which is not installed.
Installing collected packages: python-docx
Successfully installed python-docx-0.8.10
I wasn't completely sure what pyhamcrest was, but I installed it anyway just to be safe using pip install pyhamcrest
As other sites suggested, I also tried to install Pillow, lxml, and python-dateutil using their respective install commands, and in each case saw the Requirement already satisfied: message, with an anaconda path listed.
Frustrated, I also tried easy_install python-docx, the manual version, and even pip install docx . In all cases, when I run IDLE and type from docx import Document or just import docx, I get the following message in the shell:
`Traceback (most recent call last):`
`File "/Users/[my_name]/Desktop/Medical.py", line 3, in <module> `
`import docx`
`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'docx'`
Could anyone help point me in the right direction? Thank you very much.
The Anaconda Python distribution has its own system of installation of packages.
After the installation of Anaconda, the variable $PATH has been modified so that anaconda python was the first, and OsX's python in the last position.
If you type "python" in a shell will execute the anaconda python, instead of the standard OsX python (which is 2.7, not 3.x).
Following the instructions of the package python-docx, you have installed it using pip, which is the default method for installing packages, but this method is not valid for Anaconda Python. So, you finished installing python-docx for the python 2.7 of OsX.
To install packages for anaconda, you must run the command
conda install <package>
The python-docx module for anaconda can be found in a separated repository called conda-forge; typing the command
conda install -c conda-forge python-docx
you will install the package and the requested dependencies.
Other useful commands are:
anaconda-navigator for exploring the Anaconda system
anaconda-project for managing projects with anaconda
idle3 for Anaconda Python shell.
Before start coding, run anaconda-navigator and take a look at the 'Learning' section.
For a better experience, I suggest PyCharm IDE for Anaconda from JetBrains.

Unreadable Notebook - Unsupported nbformat version 4 on windows

I finally was able to install ipython on my Windows 7 PC and it runs without any errors. The problem is that I used to code in ipython but in MAC. Now that I am trying to upload my previous notebooks I receive the following error:
Unreadable Notebook: MyFile.ipynb Unsupported nbformat version 4
I found this answer for my question but unfortunately that is not for windows and did not resolve my problem. It is worth to mention:
ipython --version
produces:
2.3.1
Any help or comment on this is much appreciated.
Thanks
It took me a while to figure this out but I got the first lead from user "cel". I used to have multiple versions of python (2.7 and 3.4). I removed python 3.4 because it's not compatible with spark yet. Next, I had to remove WinPython3.4 and replace it with WinPython2.7 so it can integrate with python 2.7 installed on my PC. Finally, I installed python 2.7.9 and set the C:/Python27/Script as a part of system environment variable. After doing all this I ran the following commands:
pip uninstall ipython
This helped me to remove older version of ipython. Then:
pip install ipython
This installed the latest version of ipython on my windows pc. Finally:
pip install notebook --upgrade
To upgrade notebook to latest version. Right now, ipython os installed and and should work fine doing this:
ipython notebook
Had no problem importing my previous .ipynb after all of the above.
Good luck to you all.
I have the same problem on Linux. Simply doing:
sudo pip install notebook --upgrade
worked for me. I have python 3.4 and 2.7 and unlike the answer by nimafl, there was no need for me to remove one them or to first uninstall ipython. A simple upgrade did the trick. Now instead of version 2.3.1 I have version 4.0.3 of ipython.
