ok it works

>    jupyter qtconsole --kernel python3

$ jupyter qtconsole --kernel python3

jupyter_client.kernelspec.NoSuchKernel: No such kernel named python3

given the existence of non-python kernels (irkernel, ihaskell, iruby,
ijavascript, etc...)


But if I list the kernel available I have just

~$ jupyter-kernelspec list
Available kernels:
  python3    /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ipykernel/resources


so it is really strange...

Cheers
