I have been using ipython and also a little bit of jupyter for quite some time, some time ago. After not having used it in almost 6 months I wanted to start using it again.
I installed the newest version of jupyter, updated my python 2.7 install, got pip working and installed the necessary packages:
pip install jupyter
pip install notebook
and etc. After having done that I tried to enter an old notebook (written in 2.7) but there was no connection to the kernel. I thought, well wth, why not just update to the newest python 3 version and try that. That resulted in the same problem.
I went ahead and installed anaconda and created two virtual envs, one with python 2.7 and one with python 3.5. Both installed like this:
conda create --name py27 python=2.7 anaconda
conda create --name py35 python=3.5 anaconda
After that I made sure that both venvs had jupyter installed by activating them and trying to install the package. (This was done with py27 and py35 which are the names of the venvs as seen from above commands).
activate py27
conda install jupyter
After that I tried to run:
jupyter notebook
I created a new notebook file to see if I had access to the kernel. However it was made clear that I didn't with the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
This was obviously tried on my py35 venv however I get the same error on my py27 venv. I have tried a few things such as running the kernelspec, but none of it to any success.
Someone got a suggestion to what might be wrong?
