When I run the code from a Python 3.6.9 Jupyter Notebook, the kernel dies:

```julia
from julia.api import Julia
jl = Julia(compiled_modules=False)
from julia import Main

```

My goal is to have a Julia subroutine that will be called in the middle of Python code.

Did you ever figure out how to make this work? I am trying to do the same thing but am getting kernel restarts when running any of the commands

> jl = Julia() # with or without compiled\_modules=False  
> from julia import Pkg  
> from julia import Main

All of these run fine from a python session outside jupyter, so I don’t think it’s anything fundamentally wrong with the Julia installation. I can run JuliaInfo from within the notebook, and things like bindir and libpython\_path look correct. Any suggestions on fixing or debugging this would be appreciated!
