I can't start Jupyter Notebook

[jaylaaaa]

I just installed jupyter notebook on a non root sudo account using digital ocean's guides on google cloud. Heres the error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/jupyter/environments/my_env/bin/jupyter-notebook", line 7, in <module> from notebook.notebookapp import main File

[artygrand]

+1 for this error now on windows

[triyangle]

Getting same issue using Anaconda distribution on macOS 10.13.2 and as well as for ipython. Maybe related to https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/10981?

[YairMazor]

+1 experiencing the same error on Ubuntu. Stack trace comes from /traitlets/config/application.py, line 291.

[takluyver]

Yup, looks like the same as ipython/ipython#10981. A dependency broke something. We'll try to have it fixed soon, but in the meantime you'll want to install an older version of the decorator package.

[takluyver]

Aha, it turns out this was broken by decorator 4.2.0, but fixed again in decorator 4.2.1. So it should be OK again now.
