ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'notebook.notebookapp'

Type: Bug

I get this error when trying to activate Python3 kernel. I have tried to install ADS new, from zip. I have tried existing Python install and new. In all cases it fails

Failed to change kernel. Kernel SQL will be used. Error was: Notebook process exited prematurely with error code: 1. StdErr Output: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Azure Data Studio\resources\app\extensions\notebook\resources\pythonScripts\startNotebook.py", line 1, in
import notebook.notebookapp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'notebook.notebookapp'

Tried to do pip install notebook as per many suggestions on stackoverflow.
tried
pip uninstall notebook
pip install notebook

tried
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

no luck :-(

Same for me, even when configuring a new runtime @ C:\Users\xyz\azuredatastudio-python

I ended up setting Anaconda with notebook support and pointing it to that instance. that seem to work.

Same issue on:
MacBook Pro M2 13" 2022 (MacOS 13.4.1 (c))

Ran setup for python using /opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11

I have additionally tried installing manually this notebook package via pip to no success. Here is the log, sanitised:

... Ensuring /Users/{name}/Library/Jupyter/instances/{uuid} exists
... Ensuring /Users/{name}/Library/Jupyter/instances/{uuid}/config exists
... Ensuring /Users/{name}/Library/Jupyter/instances/{uuid}/data exists
... Ensuring /Users/{name}/Library/Jupyter/instances/{uuid}/config/custom exists
... Ensuring /Users/{name}/Library/Jupyter/kernels exists
... Starting Notebook server
    > "/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/bin/python3" "/Applications/Azure Data Studio.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/notebook/resources/pythonScripts/startNotebook.py" --no-browser --ip=127.0.0.1  --no-mathjax --notebook-dir "/Users/{name}" --NotebookApp.token={token}

And this produces the following error:

Failed to change kernel. Kernel SQL will be used. Error was: Notebook process exited prematurely with error code: 1. StdErr Output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/Azure Data Studio.app/Contents/Resources/app/extensions/notebook/resources/pythonScripts/startNotebook.py", line 1, in <module> import notebook.notebookapp ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'notebook.notebookapp'

This is due to a change in module structure with jupyter notebook version 7. Downgrading the notebook version to 6.5 worked for me.

Tested and can confirm this workaround works;

pip3 install notebook==6.5.5

At the very least, error handling should be introduced informing the user that their version is not supported. Preferably support for v7 will be implemented though.

@kalo37 @olliescase
Thanks for posting that about stepping back. Very much appreciate it - pain in the rear for many of us out here but, newer versions sometimes have headaches for us all... I've seen this for many years.
For the others out there, when you install that older Jupyter notebook version, the 'newer' version will be uninstalled...

@kalo37 @olliescase Thanks for posting that about stepping back.

No worries, I'll let @kalo37 take all the credit here for finding the cause of the problem 🙂

If someone wanted to take a stab at fixing this file:
https://github.com/microsoft/azuredatastudio/blob/main/extensions/notebook/resources/pythonScripts/startNotebook.py

I'm not exactly the most qualified when it comes to python. I think it should be as simple as changing notebook.notebookapp to just notebook.app but I haven't got the time or correct setup to test it at the moment.

@olliescase
Not a problem, you still added value to @kalo37

I too, am not an expert and currently refreshing my python (& SQL) and jupyter knowledge.
Taking time from work to do 3 months hard-core studying, specifically for the GCP Data Engineering Pro & GCP Data Analytst certifications by end of this month and next month. So I can confidently put myself back into the market - leaving AWS Cloud Engineering behind.
GCP has quite the litany of materials to bone up on to become adept in, quite a lot... more than I bargained before starting my GCP journey...
And coming across errors like this (moduleNotFound), well, it just adds more research time - but it adds up knowledge-wise - especially when we come across input like kalo37's to help forge ahead.

@olliescase DOOD...I FREAKING LOVE YOU...This fixed it.. I seriously was so mad and all the solutions online didnt work for me. I tried doing what you said and it worked.

For those who are curious, go to ur jupyter file, under scripts you will find jupyter-notebook-scripts.py. open it up and modify the code from notebook.notebookapp to notebook.app

It worked with me too thanks!

For anyone here that continued to have issues after downgrading the notebook version per @kalo37 and @olliescase , I used pip install notebook==6.5.5 and then had to use the comment by @Charles-Gagnon here to fix the issue. Also, I tried changing notebook.notebookapp to notebook.app per @olliescase but had to revert that before it worked.

You saved my jupyter notebook! You are a genius!

I am using windos with anaconda

the error was like this :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'notebook.notebookapp'

and this solved the problem:

conda update -n base -c defaults conda

This is due to a change in module structure with jupyter notebook version 7. Downgrading the notebook version to 6.5 worked for me.

Tested and can confirm this workaround works;

pip3 install notebook==6.5.5

The issue was resolved as soon as i downgraded the version to 6.5.5 . Thank you so much.
