for the tip for the setuptools, I will look in to that.\r\nThis seemed to be some other underlying issue than what I reported, but I think I manage to fix it. \r\nI noticed that the ipython install suffered the same issue so I reinstalled ipython which made it pick up on the correct version.\r\nI then had to rebuild  and install jupyter again with \r\n\r\n    ./setup.py build\r\n    ./setup.py install\r\n\r\nto get past the error though and it seems to have worked.\r\nSorry for the inconvenience "}}
