Include kernel name and prefix in `metadata`
krassowski opened this issue ยท 1 comments
๐ thanks for maintaining this project! I would like to raise a tiny enhancement request to address the following use case:
while display_name
can be customized, the frontends such as JupyterLab or Notebook cannot display structured or formatted information about the environment and kernel. I would propose to store the kernel name, kernel prefix, and all other arguments as passed to name_format
in the kernelspec metadata. The metadata already includes the environment name and path:
but the remaining bits used for display_name
assembly are not stored:
This would enable us - for example - to display a something like:
<b>{environment}</b>
<ul>
<li>Kernel: {kernel}
<li>Language: {language}
</ul>
This is blocking an improved launcher we are building for jupyterlab. Could we get a review/merge? Thanks.
