jsonschema 3.2.0 and perhaps any version less than 4.0 support Python 2.7. Try

pip install "jsonschema<4.0"

I think I have a solution.

I did may things, regenerated my env (anaconda env) from another computer where it worked, but no success.

What I think that nailed it is upgrading jsonschema to 2.5.1

Here are my steps from "bad" jupyter env to working jupyter env.

Good luck and come back if it doesn't work, I will post the notebook* relevant versions.

>conda upgrade pip
pip:        8.1.0-py27_0  --> 8.1.1-py27_0
setuptools: 20.2.2-py27_0 --> 20.3-py27_0

Jupyter notebook format depends on the jsonschema package:
    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonschema
Please install it first.
