Per-directory Pixi environments with multi-language Jupyter kernels.
<!--- TODO: add theme selector when supported on PyPI https://github.com/pypi/warehouse/issues/11251 -->

Pixi kernel supports Jupyterlab 4, Python 3.9+ and Pixi 0.30.0+ using `pyproject.toml` and
`pixi.toml` configurations.
**Disclaimer**: _This project is not affiliated with Pixi, and not an official Pixi plugin._
## Quick Start
This assumes you want a Python kernel. For other languages, check the [Kernel
support](#kernel-support) table and replace `ipykernel` with the desired kernel package.
1. Install Pixi and `pixi-kernel` alongside JupyterLab using your favorite package manager.
2. Restart JupyterLab.
3. Create a new directory and initialize a Pixi project with `pixi init` and `pixi add ipykernel`.
4. Restart the kernel and you are good to go.
See the [Pixi docs](https://pixi.sh/latest/) for more information on how to use Pixi.
## Kernel support
Pixi kernel supports the following kernels:
| Language | Kernel | Package name |
| -------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Python | IPython Kernel | [ipykernel](https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel) |
| R | IR Kernel | [r-irkernel](https://github.com/IRkernel/IRkernel) |
Support for other kernels and languages can be added by opening an issue or a pull request, see
[CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md#adding-support-for-new-kernels).
## Pixi environments
Pixi kernel supports multiple Pixi environments in a single Pixi project. To select a specific
environment, use JupyterLab property inspector, save your notebook and restart your kernel.

## Limitations
Pixi kernel only works with the default environment in VSCode.
