**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** I'm trying to deploy a chat app powered by TaskWeaver in the backend at work. The easiest way to go is deploying it to Databricks apps, however databricks apps cannot find Jupyter kernel to execute code in.

Somethings that allows code execution to happen as a python subprocess or the equivalent instead of a Jupyter kernel? **Describe alternatives you've considered** **Additional context** Ideally I don't have to deploy this as a docker image because that comes with it's own difficulties in a corporate environment, but if applying patch to the code base is too difficult, I'll have to go that route, please provide some advice too on how that can be handled if I still want to use a simple app front end deployed to databricks apps.
