Peeking at Jupyter notebooks is a long process, need to cd to the file location and need to run jupyter notebook to start the server and get things done, but I don't need to edit or work with it. Is there any other possible way to just take a look at notebooks quickly?
Looking for the Linux equivalent of this tuxu/nbviewer
PS: Already know about a Firefox extension but it is broken now.
.ipynb(s) cannot be previewed, instead if you convert your notebook to html, it can be previewed right away, use jupyter nbconvert --to html yournotebook.ipynb and preview it with a double click. You can write your own code to automate this since you are using python, or you can install this nb-viewer which basically lets you open .ipynb(s) in your linux machine with a double-click.

I imagine this question is rather silly.
I'm using VS code and Jupyter notebooks within it. Is it possible to have the output sent to the interactive python interpreter instead/at the same time as the output beneath the Jupyter notebook cells? I tried searching, google but failed.
The answer in short is unfortunately 'no'. The Interactive window can be used with the #%% magic line or using the 'Jupiter.execSelectionInteractive' command (⇧ + ↩ on Mac). However, the later is not available in a notebook, only in .py files.
I have a Jupyter notebook that scrapes web data and saves a dataframe to a csv. I would like to run this every day automatically. I am using a mac for this project.
I have looked around a lot (including here: how to run a python jupyter notebook daily automatically), but as of yet I have not found a clear enough answer. I am quite new to all this, so I am looking for a step-by-step: like how you'd explain it to someone with no knowledge on cron etc.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Why don't you just convert the jupyter notebook into a raw python file? You can use this command: jupyter nbconvert --to script "[YOUR_NOTEBOOK].ipynb" (replace [YOUR_NOTEBOOK] with your notebook name)
EDIT: You could also use Juptext, as pointed out by #Wayne in the comments below.
If you need a jupyter notebook:
Use datalab or papermill
Use the SeekWall Chrome Extenstion
Create a custom python script to launch jupyter notebook, and run that python script using the Automator app in your Mac
I am having issues with changing the starting folder of Jupyter notebooks, as I would like to run the notebooks on a shared server. I am running Windows 10. I have already tried several of the options online:
I have tried changing the "Start in" property of the jupyter
shortcut: now the shortcut just quickly opens the terminal, then
immediately closes again and nothing more happens.
I have tried running the "jupyter notebook --generate-config"
command, both in and outside python: in the first case it tells me
that jupyter is not a recognised command, and in the second that
there's a syntax error at notebook.
I have made a .bat file with the instructions of the shortcut ('''C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\cwp.py
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\Scripts\jupyter-notebook-script.py
Z:\Test''') but it
simply opens the terminal in python, and nothing more.
If I try to launch jupyter from the anaconda interface it works, and I can also start it from the terminal, but not in any other way.
The "jupyter notebook --generate-config" method, explained well in this answer from #marneylc, worked, I just had to start in the Anaconda Promt, rather than in cmd.
I hope this is the right way of answering my own question...
I am new to Kaggle and using notebooks. I can see that I can fork notebooks on Kaggle, however, whenever I try to get the code by clicking on the Code tab, it provides the necessary python commands for analysis (which I want) along with a lot of code to produce the formatted text that shows up in the Notebook(which I don't want).
I was wondering if there was an easy way to just extract the python code needed for analysis, without all of the code meant to format the Notebook output. Could anyone help me with this? I suspect it must be simple, but I searched around for a while and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for. Thanks for your time.
Follow these steps:
Visit the kernel you wish to retrieve the code of.
Fork the kernel which will take you to an editor mode.
From the editor mode, download the Ipython notebook.
Run following command to convert the notebook into a python script and enjoy the code. !jupyter nbconvert --to script config_template.ipynb

Been using the safe and easy confines of PyCharm for a bit now, but I'm trying to get more familiar with using a text editor and the terminal together, so I've forced myself to start using iPython Notebook and Emacs. Aaaaand I have some really dumb questions.
after firing up ipython notebook from terminal with the command 'ipython notebook', it pops up on my browser and lets me code. but can i not use terminal while it's connected to ipython notebook server?
after writing my code in ipython notebook, i'm left with a something.ipynb file. How do I run this file from terminal? If it was a .py file, i know i could execute it by tying python something.py from the command line; but it doesn't work if i type python something.ipynb in the command line. And of course, I assume I hit Control-C to quit out of the running server in terminal first? or do I run the command without quitting that? Or am i doomed to test it in iPython and then copy and paste it to a different txt editor like Emacs and save it in a .py file to run it?
what good is the .ipynb file if i can't run it in terminal or outside the iPython Notebook browser? Could I get my code in a .py from iPython Notebook if I wanted to? (i assume I'll be able to easily run it in terminal by tying something.py then)
thanks in advance. I'm still very much trying to figure out how to use this thing and there aren't many answers out there for questions this elementary.
Yes, you can not use the same terminal. Solutions: open another terminal or run ipython notebook inside screen. If you use Windows you might want to take a look into this question
Notebook documents (ipynb files) can be converted to a range of static formats including LaTeX, HTML, PDF and Python. Read more about converting notebooks in manual
Notebooks are great, because you can show other people your interactive sessions accompanied with text, which may have rich formatting. And if someone can run notebook server he can easily reproduce your computations and maybe modify them. Check out awesome notebook on traveling salesperson problem by Peter Norvig as an example of what you can do with ipynb. Or this notebook. More examples are available here
You can run your IPython notebook process in background.
On Unix platforms you can perform that with (note the leading &):
ipython notebook &
Or after a "normal" run, hit [Control+z] and run the bg command
(some lecture).
you can convert .ipynb file into .py file using nbconvert
with Ipython notebook 2.x (some lecture):
ipython nbconvert --to python mynotebook.ipynb
with Ipython notebook 3.x (some lecture):
ipython nbconvert --to script mynotebook.ipynb
.ipynb contains your script AND results AND formatted text.
You can compare it to a literate script (but using "machine programming language").
