log_notebook_activity

This script shows how to implement printandlog function, using the notebook name as log name. To do to so it relies on a javascript file (described below) stored in ~/.jupyter/custom/custom.js and the following cell.

As the connection Python <-> javascript is quite bugged, the following script is a first attempt to intercept all potential situation... uncussesfully.

Here is the custom.js file:

Jupyter.notebook.events.one('kernel_ready.Kernel', () => {
     // Create a nb_name variable with the name of the notebook
     IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('nb_name = "' + IPython.notebook.notebook_name + '"');
});

Jupyter.notebook.events.one('kernel_restarting.Kernel', () => {
     Jupyter.notebook.events.one('kernel_ready.Kernel', () => {
         // Create a nb_name variable with the name of the notebook
         IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('nb_name = "' + IPython.notebook.notebook_name + '"');
    });
});

Jupyter.notebook.events.one('notebook_saved.Notebook', () => {
     Jupyter.notebook.events.one('kernel_ready.Kernel', () => {
         // Create a nb_name variable with the name of the notebook
         IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('nb_name = "' + IPython.notebook.notebook_name + '"');
    });
});

Jupyter.notebook.events.one('set_dirty.Notebook', () => {
     // Create a nb_name variable with the name of the notebook
     IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('nb_name = "' + IPython.notebook.notebook_name + '"');
});

Once the custom.js file created you need to restart Jupyter.
