Hi,

Yes, good point.

do?

I was suggesting hard-coding the file name of the =E2=80=98R=E2=80=99 execu=
table in
=E2=80=98kernel.json=E2=80=99, but I see you already did that in your initi=
al patch.
Sorry for the confusion.

On second thought, I think propagating R is acceptable in this case
because a Jupyter kernel is a thin wrapper around a programming language
implementation.

Unless there are objections, I=E2=80=99ll apply your initial patch.

Apologies for the delay, but I think it was good to have this
discussion!

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
