title: Can Jupyter notebook's bash_kernel be installed in a windows 7 OS
body: <p>Jupyter Notebook offers bash_kernel. Installation fails in a windows machine as 'pip' couldn't install <a href="https://pexpect.readthedocs.org/en/stable/" rel="nofollow">pexpect</a> 3.3 which is a dependency for bash_kernel along with ipython3. Refer <a href="https://github.com/takluyver/bash_kernel" rel="nofollow">link</a> for steps to install Bash_kernel.</p>
  
  <p>Jupyter Notebook's bash_kernel could serve as a Notebook style development env for Bash. There is a good old tradition of using Unix-like terminal in Windows machine to take advantage of excellent data processing packages like Grep, sed, awk. I do use Unix terminal emulator for windows like Cygwin. But I am in need for a Notebook style dev env for cygwin.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way I could run this bash_kernel in a Jupyter Notebook running on a windows7 machine? Or Is there any alternative Notebook style development environments for Cygwin or other Bash emulators running windows?</p>
