Document how the executing kernel is chosen

Open loichuder opened this issue 4 years ago โ€ข 1 comments

Hi there,

I recently reinstalled my kernels and suddenly, my tests were no longer passing due to the wrong kernel being used...

I managed to fix the problem but I think it would be nice in the docs to:

  • Tell that by default, the executing kernel is the one named python3
  • Show that this can be changed by setting kernel_name in the decorator
  • And perhaps that the kernel can be set from the metadata of the notebook by setting kernel_name to '' ?

Thanks for reporting. I agree we should capture this in the next pass on documentation.
