I want to use several different, separate IPython kernels simultaneously on different files in Atom with the Hydrogen plugin. By now I can use Hydrogen, it works perfectly, but the same kernel is used for all files (so I cannot run several files at the same time).
I am aware of the discussion here: https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/issues/40 but I have difficulty understanding which method I should use and putting it into practise. Guess it is still a bit under development.
In particular, I can use Crtl+Shift+P and search for [hydrogen select kernel], but then I only see one entry called [Python 2]. I do not find any command to open new Python2 kernels (in order to get, for example, to choose between [Python 2 inst 1], [Python 2 inst 2], etc).
So my question is:
Is there a simple way to open several distinct instances of a Python 2 kernel in Hydrogen?
If not, has somebody a good method to suggest (would be nice to have description of detailed steps) for using simultaneously several kernels in Hydrogen?
It looks like Hydrogen 2.0 adds this feature (I have not tested it yet though):
https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen/releases/tag/v2.0.0
Three commands to start a new kernel:
"Start Local Kernel" (default when executing code in a new file)
"Connect to Existing Kernel" (replaces "Switch Kernel")
"Connect to Remote Kernel"
