I had the same issue with python. Julia and R were straightforward to get connected up. But Python was a battle to get going. So many missing environment paths, so many binaries, connected by magic strings. In the end the following was useful
pip install ipykernel python -m ipykernel install --user --name=mykernelspec (thanks to https://github.com/dotnet/interactive/issues/3478)
ending up with the following "magic command" in dotnet interactive:
here is my limited understanding... The ipykernel is the "engine", and that needs to be "pip installed" Dotnet interactive starts the ipykernel by looking in the kernel.json file I put the explicit path to python in the kernel definition; here is the mykernelspec\kernel.json:
{ "argv": [ "C:\path\python.exe", "-m", "ipykernel_launcher", "-f", "{connection_file}" ], "display_name": "mykernelspec", "language": "python", "metadata": { "debugger": true } }
Unclear how the kernel.json paths are communicated to dotnet interactive, but it works. The driving points for me as a dotnet developer are to be able work with my python coworkers, and use matplotlib etc. Looking forward to working flexibly with C# and Python.

Describe the bug
Please provide as much information as you can.
Please complete the following:
Which version of .NET Interactive are you using? (In a notebook, run the
#!about
magic command. ):I installed python 3.12 using miniconda and created an environment called demo1 with jupyterlab and pandas. This environment works with a regular jupyter notebook in VSCode and also with jupyter lab. I also want to use powershell and SQL Server in a notebook, so I installed the Polyglot Notebook extension. This works fine for C# and SQL etc. But I also want to use python in the same notebook,. However: I could not get the following command to work:
!connect jupyter --kernel-name demo1 --conda-env demo1 --kernel-spec python3
I tried putting the path to python in my PATH variable and tried with and without the conda-env, different kernel names. Nothing works. I even tried using the URL and token parameters and pointing to the jupyter-labs server URL but got a permissions error.
