`jupyter_client.launcher:launch_kernel`

source: /jupyter_client/launcher.py:14

Signature

def launch_kernel(cmd: list[str], stdin: int | None = None, stdout: int | None = None, stderr: int | None = None, env: dict[str, str] | None = None, independent: bool = False, cwd: str | None = None, **kw: Any) → Popen

Summary

Launches a localhost kernel, binding to the specified ports.

Parameters

cmd : Popen list,: A string of Python code that imports and executes a kernel entry point.
stdin, stdout, stderr : optional (default None): Standards streams, as defined in subprocess.Popen.
env: dict, optional: Environment variables passed to the kernel
independent : bool, optional (default False): If set, the kernel process is guaranteed to survive if this process dies. If not set, an effort is made to ensure that the kernel is killed when this process dies. Note that in this case it is still good practice to kill kernels manually before exiting.
cwd : path, optional: The working dir of the kernel process (default: cwd of this process).
**kw: optional: Additional arguments for Popen

Returns

: Popen instance for the kernel subprocess
