Hi,
I've been having a few issues with the Jupyter package. First and
foremost, this is my first time trying it out with Guix. Previously I
have had it running using Docker, but I prefer the modularity and
programmability of Guix, not to mention the rest of the amazing concepts
it brings.
However, nothing is perfect, and as we'll see here, that is indeed true.
Let it be known that I've tested this on my desktop and on my work laptop.
On my desktop, I've had no issues getting it running, but the terminal
functionality does not work at all, for several reasons.
There may very well be another issue, that I've yet to reproduce, but
the above I can reproduce easily on my machines.
Both environments use the same command to execute, and are using `guix
environment` to start the Jupyter notebook system:
`LC_ALL=C guix environment -C -N --pure -m env.scm -- jupyter-notebook`
The `env.scm` file used, is as follows:
(define-packages '(
"glibc-utf8-locales"
"coreutils-minimal"
"bash"
"python"
"jupyter"
))
(use-modules (gnu packages))
(packages->manifest (map specification->package packages))
You may notice that Python is mentioned as an explicit package, along
with coreutils-minimal. These are BOTH workarounds, to even get to the
bugs, mentioned above.
Without python, running the notebook yields the following error:
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'six' distribution was not found
and is required by traitlets
However, I have not been able to reproduce this anywhere. I do believe
this is a bug though. Setting python to be a required package gets me
past the above error, however removing python does NOT re-introduce the
error on any of my systems.
Without coreutils-minimal, opening the terminal yields the following error:

[W 18:40:08.402 NotebookApp] Unhandled error
At this point I assumed this was due to missing the `which(1)` command,
or at least some command missing, causing the above codepaths to return
None.
Adding coreutils-minimal gets me a slight bit further, and removing
coreutils-minimal DOES re-introduce the error as well.
However, at this point, Jupyter notebook "works". The script editing,
the interface, all of this works. Opening the terminal however, now
yields the following error:

OSError: out of pty devices

So it seems that there's an issue with pty devices when running these
systems as a container.
