Cannot open jupyter notebook in VSCode

Question

I recently switched to Visual Studio Code and would like to use Jupyter Notebooks. I have installed the ms-python extension, and also the jupyter package, as described here.

However, after reloading, I did not have a command Python: Create Blank New Jupyter Notebook, and if I open existing notebooks, the HTML/CSS is shown instead of an actual notebook view. I haven't found anything related to this problem online yet.

Solution

If Python extension is available, (if not install that extension) in VSCode, while the jupyter style file (cells beginning with # %%) is active:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P
2. Type: Export Current Python File as Jupyter Notebook
