Jupyter cpent − This package contains the reference implementation of the Jupyter protocol. It is also a cpent pbrary for starting, managing and communicating with Jupyter kernels.

Jupyter notebook − This was earper known as IPython notebook. This is a web based interface to IPython kernel and kernels of many other programming languages.

Jupyter kernels − Kernel is the execution environment of a programming language for Jupyter products.

The pst of Jupyter kernels is given below −

Qtconsole − A rich Qt-based console for working with Jupyter kernels

nbconvert − Converts Jupyter notebook files in other formats

JupyterLab − Web based integrated interface for notebooks, editors, consoles etc.
