Week 3 assignment - trouble setting the kernel

[gklarenberg]

I don't know if this is the correct place to give a tip. Feel free to move this if not...
I noticed that some notebooks submitted still showed version 3.6.4. One of the things that maybe is not clear from the instructions (since it also took me a while to figure out), is that you have to run source activate p35 in the Terminal/command line before running python -m ipykernel install --user --name p35 --display-name "Python 3.5 NEON-RSDI" (assuming you already ran conda create –n p35 python=3.5 anaconda following the set up instructions in the first week). I'm on a Mac by the way, the Windows commands are different.
This will then make sure that "Python 3.5 NEON-RSDI" in the dropdown menu when creating a new notebook sets 3.5.5.

(sorry - I forgot to update the title. I actually started this issue having this trouble. I solved it but thought it would be a good idea to share)

Yes, a few people have been having this problem, thanks for sharing a solution!

I'll see if I can update the instructions.

I'm further along in the exercise now, and I see it does come up in "Check Python version" in the plotting exercise.

Ah, right. But since it seems to be causing trouble for multiple people, I'll try to clarify it in the setup instructions.
