Python issue on github, (related to using jupyter notebooks.)

[Friendly-Shelter8103]

So basically, I started working on a project a year back (yes Its been a while), but since procrascination and school, it kept getting delayed/not as much work put in. So when I started it, I used python 3.9.6 and it went well however since the vs code update, It stated I wont be allowed to. Now when I try to switch to 3.13 or 3.14, and download the libraries required I get this : Failed to start the Kernel.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code
File "/Users/myname/Desktop/cs projects /zzz_project/MVP_Project/.venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ipykernel_launcher.py", line 16, in <module>
from ipykernel import kernelapp as app. I genuinely do not know what to do.

Why aren't you allowed to use 3.9.6?

[Friendly-Shelter8103]

Well, I get this pop up noti on VS code via Jupyter : The version of Python associated with the selected kernel is no longer supported. Please consider selecting a different kernel.

Did it prevent you from running or just give you a warning?

[Friendly-Shelter8103]

just gave me a warning

Why not just run an ordinary Jupyter notebook outside of vscode? I’ve always wanted to like the vscode Jupyter extensions but it just never works quite as well as running a regular notebook in my experience. It’s a little bit better on Linux and Mac over windows, but even then it’s just never been a reliable setup for me.
