What environment is my jupyter notebook runninng on when I launch it from my terminal?

I am using a conda environment when I launch jupyter notebook, and my environment has Python 3.8 installed.

However, when I launch the notebook and try to import packages, I get (note the LAST LINE):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

     13 from functools import wraps
     14 from http import HTTPStatus

     16 
     17 from requests import request

ImportError: cannot import name 'TypedDict' from 'typing' (/home/pchong/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/typing.py)

From the last line it is clear that it is using python3.7??

If you can see the import error path it says python 3.7, So by default the jupyter notebook runs on the python environment you installed using conda, you can easily solve this issue by creating a virtual conda environment using
conda create -n yourenvname python=3.8 and then launch jupyter notebook from that terminal.

Tip: VS code does this very smoothly

You can run jupyter notebook using desired version by:

<path_to_python> -m jupyter notebook
