This command-line tool searches local IPython notebooks for a text pattern by first using macOS Spotlight’s `mdfind` to locate all `.ipynb` files, then parsing each notebook’s JSON with `jq` to extract code cell sources. It pipes the extracted code through `sed` for string cleanup, `pygmentize` for syntax highlighting, and finally `grep` to match the user-supplied pattern. Matching results are printed with the file path and highlighted code block, enabling fast, targeted code discovery across a project directory.

This IPython Notebook tutorial shows users how to get comfortable with markdown cells and basic Python coding tasks. It walks through editing text with markdown syntax and writing small code snippets, such as splitting a sentence into a list of words and using list splicing to extract the last few items. The notebook relies on the IPython Notebook API for rendering and executing cells, with all code examples written in standard Python.

This example presents an IPython magic command system that adds syntax highlighting to source code files within notebooks and terminals. It implements two magics, `%highlight` and `%highlight_html`, using Pygments lexers and formatters to colorize code based on file extension or explicit language selection. The HTML variant supports custom styles, line numbers, and embedded CSS, leveraging IPython’s display and HTML APIs. The implementation relies on IPython’s magic class framework to register these commands as cell extensions.

Keyboard shortcuts for ipython notebook 3.1.0 / jupyter

This example visualizes the keyboard shortcuts for IPython Notebook 3.1.0 / Jupyter as a structured reference list. It organizes the shortcuts into two categories—Command Mode and Edit Mode—each with its corresponding key combinations, including Mac-specific modifier keys. The visualization uses a simple markdown table format, rendered from a gist by IoTeacher, to present the data clearly. It highlights the distinction between the two modes and the actions each shortcut triggers, such as running cells, toggling output, or managing cell selections.

search and read

This example demonstrates a file-searching utility that locates every `target.txt` file within a directory tree and prints its contents to the console. The code uses the `os.walk` API to traverse directories recursively, collecting paths where the target file exists, then opens and reads each matching file with Python’s built-in `open` function. The rendering approach is purely text-based, with output delivered as sequential lines from each located file. No external visualization libraries are employed; instead, the focus is on demonstrating filesystem traversal and conditional file matching through standard library functions.

This example uses an iPython Notebook to teach basic Python and Markdown skills. It shows a sequence of tasks for editing text cells, writing code, and manipulating strings, using the NLTK library to process a sentence. The notebook’s cells contain instructional headings, markdown explanations, and Python code inputs with output. The visualization is the notebook itself, rendered as a static document with WebGL, demonstrating its interactive, code-driven structure.

Convert jupyter notebooks to python scripts

This example demonstrates a Python script that converts Jupyter notebook files (`.ipynb`) into plain Python scripts (`.py`). It shows how to parse notebook JSON structures and extract code cells while preserving cell boundaries as comments. The script reads the input file using Python's built-in `json` library and writes the output with a standard shebang line. It handles both notebook format versions 4 and earlier, iterating through `cells` or `worksheets[0].cells` accordingly. The code relies on straightforward file I/O operations and conditional logic to accommodate schema differences, making it a practical utility for version control or code review workflows.

Useful snippets for Jupyter notebooks

This example shows how to manage notebook output and file operations using Jupyter's `%%capture` cell magic and IPython utilities. It captures noisy stdout and stderr streams, filters tagged error lines, and writes output to files using `%store` and Python's `print()` with a `file` argument. It also demonstrates file retrieval with `os.path.isfile` checks and curl, directory creation via `os.path.isdir`, and cleaning directories with shell commands. The code uses `IPython.utils.io.capture_output` and `shlex.quote` for safe command construction.

This example is a collection of developer cheat sheets covering Bash, Git, GnuPG, irssi, Mutt, nmap, OpenSSL, Tmux, Vim, and zsh. It presents commands and keyboard shortcuts in tables and code blocks, organized by topic for quick reference. The content is plain text with Markdown formatting, including tables for keyboard bindings and shell code snippets for commands. The structure uses headings and a table of contents to aid navigation, making it a practical reference guide rather than an interactive visualization.
