Yes, it's very rare to have the term notebook mixed up in this case. Unless you've only heard of the term "Jupyter Notebook" and have zero context. By the same logic Python can get confused with snakes.
No you are not alone. I have no crossover with the Python world aside from hearing about it on HN and Reddit. I too assumed it was like a Bloomberg terminal for data scientists and was surprised to discover it’s just a virtual environment wrapper you install. Poor name for the project if you are marketing it outside of your domain which I doubt they care much about.
