Exception raised in KernelClient.del when shutting down kernel after executing code using kc.execute_interactive()

[vivekvedant]

Description When executing the provided code snippet to start a new kernel and execute a Python statement using kc.execute_interactive, the code executes successfully, but it raises an exception related to KernelClient.del upon exiting.

Steps to Reproduce Run the following Python code:

from jupyter_client.manager import KernelManager, start_new_kernel
from IPython.utils.capture import capture_output

km, kc = start_new_kernel(kernel_name="python3")

TIMEOUT = 30
with capture_output() as io:
    reply = kc.execute_interactive("print('hello world')", timeout=TIMEOUT)
km.shutdown_kernel()

print(io.stdout)
print(io.stderr)

Expected Behavior The code should execute the provided Python statement (print('hello world')) in the newly started kernel and print "hello world" to the standard output. After execution, it should cleanly exit without raising any exceptions.

Actual Behavior The code executes successfully and prints "hello world" as expected, but upon exiting, it raises the following exception:

hello world

Getting this while running km, kc = jupyter_client.manager.start_new_kernel().
