[I 21:00:06.283 NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel (1/5)

repo is awaiting a major update with many changes to jupyter meanwhile, in about a week i will try to update it.

I managed to fix those tabs and spaces problem and the kernel compiles OK and I can load it in a notebook. However, trying the example import java OK print dir(java) Nothing appears on output

And I see the following exception in kernel:

[IPKernelApp] ERROR | Exception in message handler: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/xxx/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ipykernel/kernelbase.py", line 235, in dispatch_shell handler(stream, idents, msg) File "/Users/xxx/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ipykernel/kernelbase.py", line 399, in execute_request user_expressions, allow_stdin) File "/Users/xxx/Tmp/IJython/jython_kernel.py", line 58, in do_execute output = self.jyrepl(code, timeout=None) File "/Users/xxx/Tmp/IJython/jython_kernel.py", line 158, in jyrepl if len(self._child.before.splitlines())>1: out+='\n'.join(self._child.before.splitlines()[1:])+'\n' TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, bytes found

Is this exception related with the fact that I used python3.6 to install the kernel?

Do I need to use python2.7?

This is still an issue.
