I wonder if that’s by design.  As far as I understand Jupyter can be
used with many different kernels, including different versions of
Python.  This means that we may not limit it to just a single version of
Python at build time.

Is this correct?

I do agree, though, that the default doesn’t seem right.  As long as a
user can override the kernel to use a different Python than the one we
configured at build time, I think we should default to the current
version of Python in Guix.
