[FIXED] VS Code using Jupyter: Connecting to kernel: Python 3.6.9: Waiting for Jupyter Session to be idle

Issue

I am having trouble running my import statement in VS code Jupyter. I split them into individual cells. I find when I run

import numpy as np

the cell hangs and I get a message

Connecting to kernel: Python 3.6.9: Waiting for Jupyter Session to be idle

How do I fix this?

Solution

I found my solution was to select the correct version of Python. I had 2 choices for Python 3.6.9. I chose the one called "base(Python 3.6.9)" which had a different location to "Python 3.6.9" and the base version worked. Something odd if going on here, maybe I should remove the other version?
