Jupyter notebooks not using Python in current path

[DonJayamanne]

As a novice user I test & run Jupyter with python thats in my current path.
However when using Jupyter notebooks a different Python interpreter is used hence:

• I get prompted to install ipykernel (no idea what this is, i'll click ok)
• After running a cell, i get module not found errors

Suggestion:
For Jupyter notebooks, use Python thats in the current path instead of active interpreter for blank Python notebooks

We don't need to change how Python exension works for this, optionally we could change the active intepreter in the Python extnsion to point to what's in the current path.

The work on our side here is to not use the 'active' interpreter for a new notebook, but rather the interpreter that is on the path.

Yes & now (changes at our end & Python).

optionally we could change the active intepreter in the Python extnsion to point to what's in the current path.

but wouldn't this confuse existing users, if Python extension uses something else as its active interpter. Today some of the existing Interactive window users know about active interpreter from Python extension, my argument is that new users woudln't know about it.
Not sure what the fix is.
