jupyter not using version set by pyenv

Question

So this all worked perfect on a different machine. Have had to get it to work on my desktop. `pyenv` is installed there with different versions I just added `miniconda3-latest` which displays nicely in the prompt (there is a `.python-version` file in the directory below) Then ran `pip install pymysql` after that prompt. When I run python now at that prompt it imports fine: ``` (miniconda3-latest) cardamom@pegasus ~/Desktop/Project $ python Python 3.6.0 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Dec 23 2016, 12:22:00) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import pymysql >>> ``` ...but if I launch jupyter notebook ``` (miniconda3-latest) cardamom@pegasus ~/Desktop/Project $ jupyter notebook [I 13:38:28.714 NotebookApp] [nb_conda_kernels] enabled, 2 kernels found [I 13:38:29.216 NotebookApp] The port 8888 is already in use, trying another port.

In the mean time I have 90% solved it. From this article on the topic I found this pyenv which command had never tried before. So can see that there are two things that can be called.

```
(miniconda3-latest) cardamom@pegasus ~/Desktop/Project $ which jupyter
/home/cardamom/.pyenv/shims/jupyter

(miniconda3-latest) cardamom@pegasus ~/Desktop/Project $ pyenv which jupyter
/home/cardamom/.pyenv/versions/miniconda3-latest/bin/jupyter
```

Jupyter notebook seems to call the first one but if I enter the second path with the word 'notebook' after if, it launches fine and there is only one kernel available being the one with my pymysql module in it:

```
import sys
print (sys.version)

3.6.0 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Dec 23 2016, 12:22:00) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)]
```

Just need to work out how to call that directly without the whole path..

Update 15.05.17

Well, I fixed it, or helped it to fix itself -

```
rm -rf /home/cardamom/.pyenv/shims/jupyter*
```

Then closed and relaunched the terminal.

Surely wasn't the cleanest way, hope it hasn't broken something else, but now at least just running `jupyter notebook` is launching a notebook which contains the kernel active in my directory miniconda3-latest. The two `which` commands as per above are still returning the same thing, but now if I list the jupyter things in the first directory:

```
(miniconda3-latest) cardamom@pegasus ~/Desktop/Project $ ll /home/cardamom/.pyenv/shims/jupyter*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 cardamom cardamom 402 May 15 15:55 /home/cardamom/.pyenv/shims/jupyter*

...you can see that all those files just recreated themselves just a few minutes ago.
