Monitor for any new conda env and add them as Jupyter kernels

#jupyter #conda #anaconda #python

Here is a little script that monitors the conda envs directory on linux and adds a kernel in Jupyter for each new env.

Alternatively you probably should use nb_conda_kernels instead.


#!/bin/bash # Inspired by: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/323919 # man page: https://linux.die.net/man/1/inotifywait inotifywait -m /opt/conda/envs -e create -e moved_to | while read path action file; do if [[ "$file" == .* ]]; then # Does start with . echo "$file ignored" else # Wait for the env to get created echo "Waiting for $path$file/bin/python ..." while [ ! -f "$path$file/bin/python" ]; do sleep 1; done # Add the new conda env echo "Add $file kernel" source activate "$file" && \ pip install --quiet ipykernel && \ python -m ipykernel install --user --name "$file" fi done
