I couldn't reproduce the problem in my Sage install, but I don't know if I'm setting things up the same way as in CoCalc (which isn't clear). I did: $ ./sage -sh $ pip install jupyter-console bash_kernel # These do not come standard in Sage $ python -m bash_kernel.install --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL" $ jupyter console --kernel=bash Jupyter console 5.2.0 GNU bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
