Jupyter in VS Code - Wait for websocket to connect

[smrfeld]

Hi, I am running a notebook in VS code with the tutorial commands:

from vpython import *
sphere()

The first command finishes but the second hangs on this line from the stack trace:

KeyboardInterrupt

What do you see if you simply execute print(version)? Can you run a simple Jupyter notebook program from a different launcher, outside of VSC?

[smrfeld]

The version output is:

['7.6.2', 'jupyter']

I also tried from jupyter-lab now with the same result

How about jupyter notebook?

Hi, I am getting the exact same error running vpython in jupyterlab

Python 3.8.12
Jupyterlab 3.2.1-1
