Cookbook: Notebook utilities

Notebook utilities

Here are some useful utilities which currently exist as gists, but which could benefit from being wrapped up and folded into IPython commandline tools, such as nbconvert.

https://gist.github.com/timo/2621679 - For each ipynb file, a kernel is started, all cells are executed in order and exceptions occuring in the cells will show up as failed tests.

https://gist.github.com/minrk/2620876 - simple example script for running notebooks and reporting exceptions.

https://gist.github.com/minrk/2620735 - simple example script for running and testing notebooks. Each cell is submitted to the kernel, and the outputs are compared with those stored in the notebook.

https://gist.github.com/minrk/3719849 - remove all outputs from a notebook

https://gist.github.com/minrk/3836889 - selectively replacing code cells based on their contents. Example: cells which start off with "# Solution" get replaced with "# Solution goes here"

https://gist.github.com/minrk/3869182 - Example configuration file for using the IPython Notebook with a random password

https://gist.github.com/minrk/1935808 - Downgrade v3 .ipynb files to v2 (for use with older versions of IPython)

https://github.com/ipython/ipython-in-depth/blob/master/tools/nbmerge.py - Concatenate multiple notebooks into a new one.

https://github.com/davidbrai/ipythonnb-s3 - Seamlessly save and load notebook files to and from AWS S3 buckets.
