ipyaml 0.3

Installation

Install the package as follows:

$ pip install ipyaml

Usage

Run the command ipyaml to convert between the two formats:

$ ipyaml notebook.ipynb notebook.ipyml  # or notebook.ipyaml

$ ipyaml notebook.ipyml notebook.ipynb

If you do not want to store the cell outputs in your YAML files you may also run the ipyaml script as follows:

$ ipyaml --no-output notebook.ipynb notebook.ipyml

This will not write any of the outputs. By default, all the outputs are also written to the output. Take a look at the output without output to see that it is very easy to manually remove the outputs if they are not desired. Using --no-output does not remove the IPython kernelspec and nbformat metadata at the end of the file but that may also be safely removed if one does not desire it.

If you want jupyter to automatically load and save the .ipyml files. Add the following to your jupyter_notebook_config.py:

c.NotebookApp.contents_manager_class = 'ipyaml.api.YAMLContentsManager'

The jupyter_notebook_config.py can be found by running:

$ jupyter --config-dir

If you don’t see a jupyter_notebook_config.py you can do this:

$ jupyter notebook --generate-config
