notebook-viewer 1.0.0

examples

# post a secret gist on github and generate an nbviewer url:
nbv

# post a secret gist on github anonymously and generate an nbviewer url:
nbv -a

# edit a gist on github and generate an nbviewer url:
nbv -e rfjw48jofwierfjipw
nbv -e https://gist.github.com/tr3buchet/rfjw48jofwierfjipw

usage

usage: nbv [-h] [-a] [-e id/url]

generate ipynb links!

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -a, --anonymous       gist will be anonymouseven if you have oauth
                        configured
  -e id/url, --edit id/url
                        edit a gist identified by id or url

usage - editing gists

editing gists works as such: * any files gisted with the -e flag will be added to the gist unless a file already exists in the gist by that name, in which case it will be overwritten with the current file’s contents

usage - ipython notebooks

ipython notebooks are files with a .ipynb extension. if all files specified on the commandline have this extension, a link to the http://nbviewer.ipython.org url to display your gist will be generated as well. nbviewer does not store your gist’s data permanently, but does cache it for ~10 minutes

install

pip install nbviewer or clone the repo and python setup.py install

gister is required so you might want to pop over and checkout the conguration, not to worry it will work out of the box, but everything will be created anonymously

if you get an InsecurePlatformWarning, pip install requests[security] to solve it. I had to install libffi-devel on my fedora 21 system to get pyOpenSSL rocking
