python3 kernel is crashing whenever I open python3 kernel based .ipynb file

I uninstalled and reinstalled jupyter, ipython, python3.7.1 but it didn't fix the issue.

I cleared $PYTHONPATH as well. Nothing works

Any suggestions of how to fix this?

Here is the snapshot of error I am encountering when I try opening a python3 kernel .ipynb file

[I 12:13:39.189 NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel (1/5), new random ports
Traceback (most recent call last):

The UI is saying 

Dead kernel
The kernel has died, and the automatic restart has failed. It is possible the kernel cannot be restarted. If you are not able to restart the kernel, you will still be able to save the notebook, but running code will no longer work until the notebook is reopened.

EDIT: This question is not a duplicate of accidentally made release of the ipykernel

Its different because

  • stack traces are different
  • There is no know stability issues ipython around this timeframe
  • Refer to my solution posted for this issue

Looks like python kernel didn't like the init.py files that I created in directory sub directories from where I started jupyter notebook. Delete those init.py files fixed the kernel crash issue.
