Question

How do you convert an IPython notebook file (json with .ipynb extension) into a regular .py module?

Answer 1

1. Go to https://jupyter.org/
2. click on nbviewer
3. Enter the location of your file and render it.
4. Click on view as code (shown as < />)

Answer 2

You can use the following script to convert jupyter notebook to Python script, or view the code directly.

To do this, write the following contents into a file cat_ipynb, then chmod +x cat_ipynb.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import json

for file in sys.argv[1:]:
    print('# file: %s' % file)
    print('# vi: filetype=python')
    print('')
    code = json.load(open(file))

    for cell in code['cells']:
        if cell['cell_type'] == 'code':
            print('# -------- code --------')
            for line in cell['source']:
                print(line, end='')
            print('\n')
        elif cell['cell_type'] == 'markdown':
            print('# -------- markdown --------')
            for line in cell['source']:
                print("#", line, end='')
            print('\n')

Then you can use

cat_ipynb your_notebook.ipynb > output.py

Or show it with vi directly

cat_ipynb your_notebook.ipynb | view -

Answer 3

well first of all you need to install this packege below:

sudo apt install ipython
jupyter nbconvert --to script [YOUR_NOTEBOOK].ipynb

two option is avaliable either --to python or --to=python mine was like this works fine: jupyter nbconvert --to python while.ipynb

jupyter nbconvert --to python while.ipynb 

[NbConvertApp] Converting notebook while.ipynb to python [NbConvertApp] Writing 758 bytes to while.py

pip3 install ipython

if it does not work for you try, by pip3.

pip3 install ipython

Answer 4

Jupytext allows for such a conversion on the command line, and importantly you can go back again from the script to a notebook (even an executed notebook). See here.

Answer 5

Copy all the (''.ipynb) files in the Desired folder then execute:

import os    

desired_path = 'C:\\Users\\Docs\\Ipynb Covertor'

os.chdir(desired_path)

list_of_directory = os.listdir(desired_path)

for file in list_of_directory:
        os.system('ipython nbconvert --to script ' + str(file))

Answer 6

One way to do that would be to upload your script on Colab and download it in .py format from File -> Download .py
